Course Prerequisites

Anyone found a way to make courses have prerequisite courses?

Course prerequisites aren't natively supported in FluentCommunity yet — you can't currently set "Course X must be completed before Course Y is accessible" out of the box.

A couple of workarounds depending on your setup:

  1. Sequential lessons (Pro) — work only inside a single course locks lessons until previous ones are completed. Not cross-course.
  2. Manual enrollment gating — keep follow-up courses set to private privacy, then enroll members manually (or via FluentCRM automation) only after they finish the prerequisite course. Pair with fluent_community/course/completed action to trigger the auto-enroll.
  3. Custom hook — listen for fluent_community/course/completed in a small snippet and call CourseHelper::enrollCourse($nextCourse, $userId) To auto-grant access to the next course.

Tawsif Ahmed Riyad Do you need FluentCRM pro for this? As I do have FluentCRM pro on my marketing website, but I don't see a reason to pay for pro for the student portal.

Are prerequisites in the pipeline?

Devon Golden, not in the pipeline, but I will report this to the team. Our team will verify and review this matter.
