SP LMS Brings OpenStreetMap and More
The latest update to the SP LMS component brings OpenStreetMap, fixes router issue for quizzes in course details, and solves the SP LMS profile plugin issue. Also, we have updated the language file for the course module so that you can enjoy a seamless translation feature.
Apart from these, we have also improved the teacher's contact form view, added the Instagram link to speakers’ and teachers’ profiles, and many more.
OpenStreetMap Integration
To make it easier to find event locations on your LMS site, we have already integrated Google Map before. Since the Google Map is paid, we are now offering a free map showcasing option with OpenStreetMap. You can still use Google Map. But if you want to have a location map free of cost, here comes OpenStreetMap integration with the SP LMS component. It's gonna be fantastic for you!
Just like Google Map location service, SP LMS now has the option to showcase OpenStreetMap to share your location. Now you can create a free editable map of the world with OpenStreetMap on SP LMS-powered websites.
How to Use OpenStreetMap
Go to the global configuration of SP LMS then enable Map. Select OpenStreetMap from the dropdown, then place the API key in the box below. There’s a link to the OpenStreetMap site to create an account and get the API key.
