By default, learners need to have accounts created to see the courses available on your site. Now, you have the option to display your catalog publicly, so learners don't need an account to view what they're going to sign up for.
Since this is a new feature, you must submit a request for a CypherWorx representative to enable it if needed.
Features
Front-facing catalogs include the following features:
- Your site name will appear at the top.
- You can filter based on catalog, duration, and training type.
- You can export the list to PDF or CSV.
- You can search and adjust the number of entries displayed per page.
- You have the option to add a description that will appear below the site name.
To view the different options, go to Admin Tools > Public Catalogs.
You will be provided with a few links that you can use.
Link to your page
This option provides a link that you can add to your website, launching the front-facing catalog page that we host. You won't be able to customize its appearance, but it offers a simple way to link to your catalog. Your site's branding and colors will be displayed automatically.
Here is the format of the link:
<a href="https://collabornation.net/reseller/info/YOUR-IDENT">View my training</a>

iFrame embed in your site
This option allows you to embed the catalog page directly within your site, so it can appear directly on your website without needing a link. With the iFrame option, you cannot add your own custom styling, unlike with the JavaScript embed.
Here is the format of the iFrame embed:
<iframe src="https://collabornation.net/reseller/embed/YOUR-IDENT"></iframe>

JavaScript embed in your site
This option allows you to add JavaScript code to list the front-facing catalog directly on your website. The primary advantage is that you have full flexibility to update the styling of everything on this page. You can customize the appearance of buttons, course images, titles, filtering options, and more.
Here is the format of the JavaScript embed:
<script src="https://collabornation.net/reseller/js/YOUR-IDENT"></script>
