Standard Settings relate to appearance and functionality for the standard VETenrol pages. They deal mostly with aspects of the VETenrol Main page, but also cover the standard registration process and the VETenrol site in general.
Standard Settings can be accessed from the Configuration () page in the VETenrol Admin.
In this article:
Understanding the Standard Settings page
Key aspects of the Payment Settings page:
- Save
This button commits any changes to the settings. It appears to the right of the navigation area and at the bottom of the page. Saving will keep changes to settings made across tabs. - Setting Categories
There are four tabs relating to areas of VETenrol:- Site Features — options to customise VETenrol behaviour.
- Course Display — options for the VETenrol main page (and Schedule).
- Text & Labels — customise general headings and text for VETenrol.
- Error Pages — customise text for users encountering issues.
Site Features
This category applies to VETenrol in general. The options are further divided into sections:
Compatibility
This section contains options that aim for a more user friendly experience in certain circumstances.
Break out of iFrame to register
Enable this option to indicate your website is linking to VETenrol using an iFrame or similar frame element.
The option separates the registration process out of the iFrame so that it will open in a new browser tab.
This setting can help with cross-platform browser compatibility. Circumstances in which this setting remains relevant are:
- Where difficulties occur displaying the credit card payment step in the iFrame.
- The preference is to have the registration separate from course viewing/selection.
- To gain some performance improvements for the user.
Block registration completion on expiry
Toggle this option to prevent registrations from being completed after the Start Date (or Close Date) for an occurrence.
This is especially applicable to registrations that have been Saved for Later but will also apply in cases where registrations have been left too long.
For example, A registration begun on the day of the close date, but not completed until after midnight (making it after the close date), will be caught by the Block Expired setting.
Disable mobile/email masking
This option hides or shows the masking effect for mobile and email address fields in the registration process.
Note: The mask shows when the field has focus (Mobile field in the screenshot), or while the mouse is hovering over a field. The email fields are all displayed in the hover state for the purpose of the screenshot.
Show short code instead of programme name
This setting adjusts both calendars to replace the full programme name with programme shortcodes instead. This will reduce clutter in the calendars for training organisations with long programme names.
Breadcrumbs
This section relates to the breadcrumb style navigation available in VETenrol for users.
Show breadcrumbs
Toggle this option to enable or disable the breadcrumbs displayed by VETenrol.
Courses Link
Enter a URL here to control the destination of the Courses breadcrumb link. The default is for this to return to the VETenrol Main Page.
NOTE: Relevant only if Show Breadcrumbs is enabled.
Redirection
This section applies to behaviour of the Registration Confirmation (receipt page) on close.
- URL
This is the address of the website where users will be directed if they click the Close button on the page after completing the standard registration process.
This applies to the on-page button called Close an not the browser's close button. - Bypass confirmation page direct to URL on completion
This option will cause the Registration Confirmation (receipt page) to be bypassed, taking users straight to the website specified in the URL field.
Custom Footer
This section is for replacing the default footer text with customised content.
Type plain text or html directly into the field. Alternatively, click to open the Editor, where text can be entered and formatted, then click Apply and the resulting html will be inserted into the field. Click Save to commit the changes.
Note
For fuller control of your VETenrol footer content, ask for the contact details included by default to be removed in your branding!
