# What is plaYEAH!

Pronounced (play - YEAH) or as we like to pronounce it (game-change-a).

{% hint style="info" %}
It's like **having a sidekick** super hero :man\_superhero: helping your students make progress in your course so they actually complete it with a smile on their face.
{% endhint %}

{% embed url="<https://robgalvin-1.wistia.com/medias/vd51r6g43b?embedType=async&videoFoam=true&videoWidth=640>" %}

**plaYEAH!** is a Thinkific "App" - or as we like to call it a "PowerUp"💪, because all PowerUps have one goal in mind:  :man\_mage: **make your Thinkific site more powerful.**&#x20;

The course player experience is one of **the most important experiences** that you can have as a course creator. Even if your videos and content is good, your students may still lose interest if their experience is not **pleasurable or memorable.**

plaYEAH! allows you to customize the style of the course player so that it not only feels more like your brand with your **custom colors** :art: and **fonts** :abc: , but you can also disable things like the "progress" meter for courses that do not have "progress" (resource library, webinar replays, etc).&#x20;

One important aspect of **increasing course completion and student satisfaction**, is to keep your students engaged, interested and even entertained while watching your content. Many have great intentions when they sign up for your course, but often need some encouraging or nudging or reminding at certain key points of progress.

## What is included with plaYEAH!?

plaYEAH! includes two main features:

### :compass: [ **Tour Guide (NEW!)**:](/tour-guide/using-the-course-player-tour)

The 🧭Tour Guide super power, will guide your first time students on how to make their way around your course. It will be shown automatically when the student is seeing it for the first time, and then it will also be accessible via a link that is added automatically to the course player.

### :art: [**Power Style Editor**](/power-style-editor/power-style-quick-start-guide):

The Power Style Editor  allows you to alter the styling of the default Thinkific course player. You can colors, use custom fonts and even hide certain aspects of the course player.

### :champagne: [**Power Pops Editor**](/power-pops-editor/quick-win-guides)**:**&#x20;

The :champagne: Power Pops Editor this allows you to create "in course" animated popups and notifications that could be used for a variety of use cases.

* **Celebrate** your students progress with a **confetti blast** :confetti\_ball: triggered after reaching a progress milestone
* Send a **subtle nudge of encouragement** :bell: as they complete specific lessons
* :pushpin: **Remind them of important resources** to download or access at key points of their progress.
* **Gameify the experience** :joystick: by presenting an overlay with a call to action that is linked to a "hidden course' that can now be unlocked because they made progress.
* **Reward your members** with a "surprise" download or special opportunity to book a 1-on-1 coaching call with you.
* Chain a series of courses that unlock the next one based on completion and then in the final course, you can :money\_mouth: **upsell them to your signature course of membership program.**
* **Notify** them about events or group calls that may be coming up on the calendar :calendar\_spiral:&#x20;
* Present a :rabbit2: fast action bonus of redeeming a coupon with a vanishing call to action.

# Installing plaYEAH!

In this guide we will walk through how to install the plaYEAH! PowerUp into your Thinkific Site. Thinkific likes to call them "Apps"

![](/files/-MTDWYOYoyEXlzO_vgoJ)

{% hint style="info" %}

# Using the Course Player Tour

You may be asking, "Why do I need to show my learners how to watch my course?". Well, to most people it is previous obvious and they may not need much help. But for others, there could potentially be a few stumbling blocks:

* They can't find the **Back to Dashboard** link, and end up not knowing how to return to their list of courses.
* The may not understand how to open up the **mobile menu** on their phone so they can switch lessons easily.
* They may not know to **click the Complete & Continue button** so their course progress is tracked

And because we know that confused learners don't continue learning and are less likely to buy another course from you again - we want to ensure that every single learner has a great experience watching your course. That is why we created the customizable :compass: Tour Guide feature inside of plaYEAH! :man\_superhero:&#x20;

{% hint style="danger" %}
**WARNING!** Do not put the Tour Guide section on the same page that you  are using for [PowerPops](/power-pops-editor/quick-win-guides) or [Power Styles](/power-style-editor/power-style-quick-start-guide). It needs to be set up on it's own custom page.
{% endhint %}

### How to use the Tour Guide

The 🧭Tour Guide super power, will guide your first time students on how to make their way around your course. It will be shown automatically when the student is seeing it for the first time, and then it will also be accessible via a link that is added automatically to the course player.

* [ ] Create a new **custom page** called `plaYEAH Guide`
* [ ] Remove the Banner section and set the page permission to `Only Me`&#x20;
* [ ] Add a **new section** and search for Tour Guide
* [ ] You will **see settings on the left side** that will allow you to change the **text**, **colors** and decide on which steps to show.

# Best Practices

Don't you hate it when you walk into a store :shopping\_bags: and someone immediately walks up to you and asks you if you need any help :unamused: . Then they ask you again in another 30 seconds, and then again in another 4 minutes? *Ok, maybe that is a bit exaggerated, but if it was really like that wouldn't it be* Quite annoying????

![](https://media.giphy.com/media/w8qewcZwdyE4xCQFL5/giphy.gif)

{% hint style="info" %}
**That is not what we want to be like with PowerPops** 👆.

**What we do to be is**:

* **Encouraging**, *but not intrusive your annoying neighbor who can't mind their biz-ness*
* **Remindful,** *but not like a firehose telling you to water your plants*&#x20;
* **Fun**, *but not offensive or rude like a 1980's stand up comic*
* **Celebratory,** but not like your drunk uncle at your cousins wedding
* **Nudgy,** *but not be the pushy push you over the cliff pushy*

:wink: ***You get my drift plaYEAH!?*** :point\_up\_2:&#x20;
{% endhint %}

## :woman\_teacher: Pro tips on using PowerPops as your Sidekick to help your students stay more engaged & successful.

Who do you think will have more success:

* Someone who is working out at home alone, or someone with a personal trainer
* Someone who is learning to play the piano in high school, or someone who is learning from a pianist who can't get enough time to play the piano
* Someone who is working alone on something really hard, or someone who has a best friend that comes along for the ride
* Someone who is taking your course feeling alone, unamused and unmotivated or someone taking your course and has "Sidekick / Coach" plaYEAH!

We want you to use plaYEAH Power Pops like it would be the best member on your team the best coach, friend, support and guidance your members will have by their side as the go through your course.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Don't overdue it** - be intent-full in your goals and expected reactions you want from you members. Start off with some basic PowerPop flows like we walk through in the [Quick Start Guide](/power-pops-editor/quick-win-guides)
{% endhint %}


# Troubleshooting your Pops

When you save your PowerPop you may notice a warning icon displayed. This is indicating that there is a problem with your configuration. You will need to clear the warning before being allowed to copy and paste your plaYEAH Power Pop code.

![](/files/-MfDed0zZ_hzCKkDYCsA)

### Reasons for getting a warning:

* You specified Course targeting and did not add a Course Targeting block. *To fix: Add a course targeting block*
* You specified Lesson Start or Lesson Complete Trigger and did not specify a lesson. *To fix: Add a course targeting block and be sure to* [*specify a lesson id*](/power-pops-editor/quick-win-guides/display-rules-201-course-and-lesson-specific-triggers)
* You are using a Pop Up Pop type but are missing a heading. *To fix: add a heading in the Text setting group*
* You are using an Image/Gif for the media type, but did not specify an image. *To fix: add an* [*image in the Media* ](/power-pops-editor/quick-win-guides/using-images-and-animations-to-make-your-pops-poppin)*settings*
* You are using an animation for the media type, but did not specify a Lottie animation url. *To fix: add a* [*lottie animation*](/power-pops-editor/finding-and-using-animations) *url in the settings.*


# Finding & Using Animations

Ok plaYEAH!, you[ just conquered the basics](/instant-super-powers/quick-wins#start-powerpoppin) of your first PowerPop flow. Now let me show you how to [use a massive free library](https://lottiefiles.com/) of open source animations at your disposal - we are talking by the thousands my friend 😲

### Introducing Lottiefiles

In the previous quick wins, you may have noticed a setting we called **Lottie JSON url** (or maybe you were too excited by the **awesome super powers** :man\_superhero: **plaYEAH!** is going to give you). Lottie is an open source animation file format that’s tiny, high quality, interactive and **the perfect solution** to use inside your course to **jazz things up a bit to make** it a lot more **interesting** and **engaging** *(unless you are in the .02% that think dull boring lifeless grey is exciting)* . This is the new industry standard that is available on the web, on your phone and on your toaster :bread: (if you have a "smart toaster" that is). The top 500 apps on the App store now use Lottie to engage users and enhance conversions.&#x20;

## Lottiefiles is the largest community of designers and developers. Essentially an extensive, curated library of free assets awaits you.

**We when across Lottie - we were like:**

![](https://media.giphy.com/media/tBb19eTTI6Kgj44KtmE/giphy.gif)

What we have included in the [Favorites Animations page](https://powerups.thinkific.com/pages/playeah-power-pop-favs) is just a teeny-incy-weeny-tiny sample if what is available that **we spent years curating**....*just kidding it was only a few hours*...but a few hours you did not have to ~~waste~~ spend...and still has over 100 animations in it...but.... anywhoo

This **massive library contains both free and really really cheap** (*less than you would pay for a fresh brewed cup of*:coffee:*)* animations. In fact, they even have a [page where you can hire animators](https://lottiefiles.com/marketplace/animators) (aka "Lottie Experts" - if you really want to go crazy and have a custom animation built for you (or for a client that is willing to pay you to pay some to creating something for them - :zany\_face: )

Now, with any "free market" there is always a chance that you will see :poop: on there. But because you are a plaYEAH!, we got you covered and will give you some pro tips for navigating Lottiefiles. Here are some awesome ways to find stuff:

:mag\_right: **Keyword search** is always a good idea

:mag\_right: Search by **specific color**

:mag\_right: Turn on the "**free filter**"

:mag\_right: Consider purchasing a **"pack" of similar animations**

**Are you feeling like:**

![](https://media.giphy.com/media/PPcJlSeCL6iWI/giphy.gif)

### **Using LottieFiles with plaYEAH!**

{% hint style="warning" %}
First, you will need to[ have free account with LottieFiles](https://lottiefiles.com/getting-started) and be [logged into Lottiefiles](https://lottiefiles.com/getting-started) in order to make things **brain dead, two-click copy/paste into plaYEAH**. The **account is free**, as in totally **free** - no credit card, no spamming, no need to think about **free** - so if you &#x72;***eally want to save a*** :poop: ***ton of time, have a mountain of animations at your disposal*** that is going to make **you look amazing to your students**, then just stop ready this already and go ahead and [create a free account already ](https://lottiefiles.com/getting-started)- come on' plYEAH! just do it!
{% endhint %}

* [ ] Now that you have your [free LottieFiles account and are logged in](https://lottiefiles.com/getting-started):point\_up:, just head over to that **search bar that is in the upper right corner** and search, filter until you find the perfect one

![](/files/-MTI3-7u9E0xsOEArLEq)

* [ ] Now that you **found the perfect animation** ( :timer: don't spend hours plaYEAH! - just pick one already :worried: - the site is not going anywhere - it will still be accessible later, tomorrow, next week, next month - you get my point plaYEAH?) **Click on the the one you like.** A popup will appear showing you the animation in a **larger preview window.**

![](/files/-MTI3o2RhCQU9UjU06at)

* [ ] Then click the clipboard icon in the **Lottie Animation Url field** on the right hand side right under the player. :point\_down:&#x20;

![](/files/-MTI4EOWehs6I0J4jPPM)

Now that you have the Lottie Animation Url - you are going to head back into the My plaYEAH Pops page inside of Site Builder that we [created in the previous step](broken://pages/-MTG1RNRbjBMKvq3OfcC). We are going to **replace the animation we used in the confetti blast Pop**

* [ ] Locate the Pop in the block section on the left and click on it. (If you followed the [Quick Win](/instant-super-powers/quick-wins#start-powerpoppin), it should be the fourth one). Scroll down to the **Lottie JSON URL settings** and **select the entire thing and then paste your new one in there**

# Using custom fonts inside the course player

Power Style Quick Start Guide - Quick Win #2

![](https://media.giphy.com/media/93chRyVwvgReRC4GzI/giphy.gif)

:fist: Time to PowerUp your student experience with your own set of fonts :fist:&#x20;

* [ ] Fire up another tab in your browser and go to [fonts.google.com](https://fonts.google.com/)
* [ ] Since we love [dancing alpaca's](broken://pages/-MTG1AXai4KrRQpcCOyW), let's search for **"Dancing Script" font and click on it.**

![](/files/-MTIvOShcV2_yf5iUsRb)

* [ ] You will then see a list of font styles. Scroll down and until you see **Regular 400.** Towards the right you will see **Select this style**

![](/files/-MTIxZR7GfZz6cTRhIWN)

* [ ] Select and copy all of the text in the **section below \<link>**

![](/files/-MTIxyJfAWpO5w5LUKGA)

* [ ] :rotating\_light: **Keep that Google Fonts tab open, plaYEAH!** *we will be needing that in a second*. For now let's go back to Site Builder (you should already have another tab open) where we just styled our background color [from Quick Win #1 in the prevous step.](/power-style-editor/power-style-quick-start-guide/quick-start-guide) Head to the **Custom Fonts** settings box and paste that code snippet you just copied from Google Fonts.

![](/files/-MTIzg2XfDGnCqqNUSWp)

* [ ] We are almost there - just one thing left to do. **Now we need to assign that font to the places we want to use it.** First head back to that Google Fonts tab I told you to keep open just a few short moments ago (if you were not paying attention or accidentally closed it, then have no fear - just open a new tab and do it again). On the right side, right under the section we just were in - there is another area that says **"CSS rules to specify families"** :nerd: Just double click inside that area so it selects the text ***font-family: 'Dancing Script', cursive;*** then be sure to copy it to the clipboard.

![](/files/-MTJ-rw58quIJnCEC2Vp)

* [ ] Now jump back to the previous browser tab that should still have Site Builder open. We are going to set the Heading styles for our text sections to use this font by opening the **Content Text** settings group and pasting it into the **Font Family H1** section. You should then also choose **Custom Color or Font** in the *Heading 1* setting area..

![](/files/-MTJ2BWbFrNeqyN9ei77)

{% hint style="info" %}
There are 3 settings for each heading type 1-4 and can be controlled independently.&#x20;

* **Drop down**: Choose *Custom Color or Font* if you want to change the font+color otherwise it will use the default

* **Color**: Choose the color when *Custom Color or Font* is selected, otherwise it will be ignored

* **Font Family:** This is where you would paste the font family name (*font-family: 'Dancing Script', cursive;*). This is only applied when you have *Choose Custom Color or Font* setting.
  {% endhint %}

* [ ] Why stop now plaYEAH!? Let's add a **second font family** for the *body text* as well as the *Chapters and Lessons* sidebar text. Head back to the Google Fonts tab (which I hope you did not close yet you happy tab closer you) Search for another font. This time search for Nunito. After you click **Select this style**, you will notice an icon in the upper right corner that you need to click. (It is right next to the **Download family** button)

![](/files/-MTEANWTGDeiPyrTz7ma)

* [ ] Select the code snippet that appears in section on the lower right as shown in the image below.

![](/files/-MTEAvWGXaXy_9IHpvic)

* [ ] Make sure you have **selected all of the text**

{% hint style="info" %}
Keep the fonts.google.com tab open as we will need one more piece of info in a second.
{% endhint %}

* [ ] Now back in your[ Power Style Editor page](/power-style-editor/power-style-quick-start-guide/quick-start-guide#your-first-power-style) that we setup before, open the **Custom Fonts** section settings and paste the code in there. **This time replacing everything that is in there.**

![](/files/-MTJ6lW733MlPNwKG8NZ)

* [ ] Now let's go ahead and change our **Chapter/Lesson font to all use Nunito**. To do this, go back to the Google fonts and in the *CSS rules to specify families section,* let's select and copy the text: **font-family: 'Nunito', sans-serif;** We only want to copy the second line.

![](/files/-MTECSSFAojeVW73Hsy7)

* [ ] Once last browser tab jump, plaYEAH! to you know where - back to the Site Builder page. Scroll down on the left hand side and change open the **Chapter + Lesson Color** settings group.Select **Custom color & font** and then paste the CSS rule, that you just copied, into the **Font Family setting box**

![](/files/-MTJ8cfS4vrOh9b0C6Ep)

* [ ] Click the **Full Screen icon** in Site Builder so you can preview how it will look. If you already know this part from the [previous Quick Win](/power-style-editor/power-style-quick-start-guide/quick-start-guide) - then just skip on past the next few steps.

![](/files/-MTE3D0KedFlKyRt_QEo)

* [ ] Now click the **Copy Code** button in the upper right corner. This will copy the code snippet to your clipboard

![](/files/-MTE4LdzxyRVV8iL6hVV)

* [ ] Click the **Site Footer Code** settings. This will open a new tab in your browser to the site footer code settings  page

![](/files/-MTE4WAlsG0-cj36ry-D)

* [ ] **Paste the code snippet** into the code area and then click **Save**

![](/files/-MTE50XgkI9tNwZHaHUu)

{% hint style="success" %}
&#x20;:star\_struck: plaYEAH! your player got some new fonts! Nice job!.

**Pro Tip:** If you use a lot of "text lessons" or use "text under video" in your courses you know what a **pain in the you know where,** it is to have to create consistant style across all of these lessons. And heavens forbid, if you want to change colors or fonts, then you would have to spend a :poop: load of time changing that in every single course. Unless you know about the next Quick Win in your plaYEAH! super powers belt. :superhero:&#x20;

# Default styling for your text sections

Power Style Quick Start Guide - Quick Win #2

In the [previous Quick Win](/power-style-editor/power-style-quick-start-guide/using-custom-fonts-inside-the-course-player), you added some custom fonts :abc: to the course player experience. This allowed you to **PowerUp your player** with your own branded look and feel. Yeah You! :bomb:&#x20;

Now it is time so save you your precious time :alarm\_clock: - so you do not have to pull your hair out with that WYSIWYG editor. over and over and over again.

![](https://media.giphy.com/media/7zMQ8rO5BAkF9YsElx/giphy.gif)

## First things first - lets talk about Text Lessons WYSIWYG

What you see is what you get?!?! - sure, but **what if, what you don't want to see**?? You don't want to see *IMPACT or Times New Roman* - sorry if you are a fan of these ancient relics. But even if you were - the moment you use these inside of the text editor is the moment of doom for you. You are essentially doing what's call "inline styling" - which basically should be "in-jail styling". It locks you into this style and the only way to update it is to jump through a :fire: few flaming hoops :lion\_face: to get it back to "normal".&#x20;

![](/files/-MTJDyv07UqiANErcfxg)

## Instead, just use Paragraph styling

plaYEAH!, meet your new friend. It's that **funny looking backwards P** in the upper left hand corner. Go ahead and select some text, then choose the backwards P and choose Heading 1.&#x20;

![](/files/-MTJI4ATFSqItydX-zim)

Think of this as **a way to "name" things inside** of your text lessons. And now that you have the plaYEAH! Power Style Editor, you can do things like "Everything that has a name of 'Heading' 1, I want to use purple and the Dancing Script font.

Simply pop back into the My plaYEAH Style Editor Site Builder page [from the previous step](/power-style-editor/power-style-quick-start-guide/using-custom-fonts-inside-the-course-player) and change the 4 heading styles to use whatever font, color combination you would like to use.

![](/files/-MTJK2IekEieUCGSgTnB)

{% hint style="success" %}
Ok, plaYEAH! - you just completed the **Power Style Quick Start section.**&#x20;

You now have some really awesome super powers under your belt :superhero:&#x20;
{% endhint %}

## :clipboard:Things you may want to do next

* View the [usage notes and resources](/power-style-editor/usage-notes) for some helpful tips :mage:&#x20;
* Snag a :frame\_photo: screen shot of your plaYEAH! and post it in the [Thinkific Facebook group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/thinkific) - make sure you [tag @Rob Galvin](https://www.robgalvin.co/) so he can comment on your creation.

# Power Style Editor Overview

## Overview of using the Power Style Editor

Here is a high level overview of how to use the Power Style Editor section that is included with plaYEAH! PowerUp.

* A custom page will be used to allow you to **preview and save your design** before making it live. *On this page we are simulating what you would see inside the course player*
* You will use the **Power Style Editor section** inside of Site Builder to setup either a default style or course specific styles
* The Power Style Editor will automatically generate a snippet of code that you will copy and paste into Site Footer Code

## Getting to Know the Power Style Editor UI

* **Settings Area**: The settings area to the left are essentially Site Builder setting groups that you should already be familiar with. Except these are specific settings for the Power Style Editor. Each settings group controls specific settings for areas that are on the course player preview section

![](/files/-MTE2U4pZzML1WkT__8p)

* **Preview Section:** The player preview section is just a preview. It is not a working course player. The "hamburger" menu does not function nor does the expand and collapse sections for the chapters and lessons. This is intended to simulate what the course player *will look like if you paste the settings into the Site Footer section* as described below.

![](/files/-MTE2XlFFOVxZ70mYDt8)

{% hint style="info" %}
Depending on your browser size, you **may not see the "side" bar** that you would normally see (and what is typically styled). **To see the sidebar in preview, be sure to click the full screen icon at the top of the page:**

&#x20;<img src="/files/-MTE3D0KedFlKyRt_QEo" alt="" data-size="original">&#x20;
{% endhint %}

* **Power Style Navbar:** This contains a links back to the training videos and documentation for more detail. It also has the **Copy Code** button that you will use later.&#x20;

![](/files/-MTE3UDQAt6EqvBt5YNC)

# Settings Reference

On the left hand side of the Power Style Editor, you will see groups of settings. If you expand the settings groups, you will find a set of settings that applies to that group.

You can decide to only over-ride some of the settings ad keep the default for others. For example in the [Quick Start Guide](/power-style-editor/power-style-quick-start-guide/quick-start-guide#your-first-power-style), we only changed the background color.

To over-ride a style for a particular setting, you would change the drop-down for that style to something either than **"Default".**&#x20;

Check the settings reference for the specific settings group for more details on the options.

![](/files/-MTE2U4pZzML1WkT__8p)


# Style applies to

This settings group determine if the style you are setting and previewing is for all courses or a [specific set of courses.](/power-style-editor/course-specific-styles)

![](/files/-MTEL4VUKk7qxMgdJ-xM)

* **Applies to:** This determines if the settings and preview applies to all courses or a specific list of courses
* **Course IDs:** this is where you will be pasting course ids [(when using course specific settings as explained later)](/power-style-editor/course-specific-styles)
* **Product ID Helper:** this provides quick reference to course ids  [(when using course specific settings as explained later)](/power-style-editor/course-specific-styles)


# Logo & Branding

This settings group controls what branding defaults are used in the preview. It also is good when you want to have fine grain control over padding and background color surrounding the logo

![](/files/-MTEMEysEDkgfP3upfhi)

* **Branding Color & Logo image**: *This is just used for the preview window*, set this to match what you have set for the actual course player. It is meant to be an "aid" in seeing how the actual course will look like from the preview window.
* **Logo  Area**: Change the *background color* behind the logo, *padding* around the logo, *both* or completely *hide* this section.
* **Logo Padding**: Increases the default padding around the logo so it can fit better.
* **Logo BG Color**: When used with Logo Area = Custom Color, Custtom Color & Padding - it will over-ride the default color (brand)
* **Branding:** this whill show or hide the Thinkific branding at the bottom of the sidebar


# Using Custom Fonts

**Your brand** is important because you want to always be "memorable" and reinforce your style. With the *standard Thinkific course player* you have *limited control* over the font selection that is used for **both the content area** and the **course side menu**

{% hint style="info" %}
We are going to use free Google fonts for this example. Other fonts may work but require you to provide am embed script that can be used via CSS in the player in order to be reference able.
{% endhint %}

* [ ] **1) Open a new browser window** and go to [fonts.google.com](https://fonts.google.com/)

![](/files/-MTE8OEdRhzpkE6m_oxn)

* [ ] 2\) Search for **Dancing Script**, click it and then choose 'Select this style' for *Regular 400*

![](/files/-MTE8otIYiYA8vD0TrlJ)

* [ ] 3\) Now lets also search for **Nunito** and click 'Select this style' for *Light 300*

![](/files/-MTEAKCbu03uXvepNSot)

* [ ] 4\) Click the icon in the upper right corner to "View your selected families"

![](/files/-MTEANWTGDeiPyrTz7ma)

* [ ] 5\) Select the code snippet that appears in section on the lower right as shown in the image below.

![](/files/-MTEAvWGXaXy_9IHpvic)

* [ ] 6\) Make sure you have **selected all of the text**

{% hint style="info" %}
Keep the fonts.google.com tab open as we will need one more piece of info in a second.
{% endhint %}

* [ ] 7\) Now back in your[ Power Style Editor page](/power-style-editor/power-style-quick-start-guide/quick-start-guide#your-first-power-style) that we setup before, open the **Custom Fonts** section settings and paste the code in there.

![](/files/-MTEBhF1AJyHwqPv7-B0)

* [ ] 8\) Now let's go ahead and change our **Heading fonts to all use Dancing Script**. To do this, go back to the Google fonts and and right below where you copied the previous code snippet, you will see another one called ***CSS Rules to specify families***

![](/files/-MTECSSFAojeVW73Hsy7)

* [ ] 9\) We only want to copy the first line where it says font-family: 'Dancing Script', cursive;
* [ ] 10\) Head back to the Power Style Editor page and open the **Content Text** setting grouping

![](/files/-MTEE-BcpNjtODF-nQ3j)

{% hint style="info" %}
There are **three settings for each Heading types: Heading 1 - Heading 4**
{% endhint %}

* [ ] 11\). Change each drop down from "Hidden" to "**Custom Color or Font**"
* [ ] 12\) You will notice that the fonts have changed in the preview. But also the color changed as well. Go ahead and update the colors for each one as you see fit.

![](/files/-MTEEoTruI_zXpmjPkSU)

* [ ] 13\) Now we can click the copy button again, but this time we will be **replacing the current snippet** that was pasted before.

![](/files/-MTEFw9yMZZtLdHF2wGP)

* [ ] Now anytime that a **heading style is used inside a text lesson** or inside a text area under a video, you will see the style you had assigned. If you need to change it in the future, you now only need to change it in one place.

![](/files/-MTEH4XggxixceCCkaQI)

{% hint style="danger" %}
A**bout "inline styles" used in the WYSIWYG editor:** if you have used the color or font family options inside of the text editor, then the those styles will always be used and not be over written by plaYEAH! style.
{% endhint %}


# Page Background

The page background settings group controls the area behind the sidebar menu and also behind the content area. It does not control the background of the content area. For that you can find that in the Content Background section

![](/files/-MTEO5LBy2bkfBwHU8_4)

* **Type:** controls what type of background the style will use
  * **Default**: Will use the standard player settings
  * **Custom Color:** Will use a solid color from the Color 1 setting
  * **Custom Gradient:**  Will use a gradient (going from color 2 on top down to color 1 on bottom (like you see on the screenshot on this page)
  * &#x20;**Custom Image:** Will use the image you upload as the background
* **Color 1 / Color 2** - Used on Custom color or Custom Gradient as described above.
* **Image:** This will "fill" the background size. It is suggested to pick something subtle so the text is viewable on top of it. 1600x900 is a good size.


# Sidemenu Top

This is for the area that sits above the chapters and lessons section

![](/files/-MTEPn_swxwMbX4m3M0J)

* **Course name**
  * **Default** - will keep default settings
  * **Custom Color or Font** - will use a custom color (always) and font only if the font section is not empty and the font embed has been included in the [Custom Fonts settings](/power-style-editor/power-style-editor-overview/settings-reference/using-custom-fonts)
* **Course color**: used when using Custom Color or Font selection.
* **Font Family Course name** - this will change the font being used for the course name section (as long as the Custom Color r Font setting is being used.
* **Progress Bar:** Helpful when you are using a "course" for a "non-course" - ex: you have downloads or resources and don't want to confuse people by showing a "progress bar"
  * Custom Color: Will use the progress bar color instead of the default on
  * Hide: Will remove the progress bar area
* **Search**
  * **Custom Color** - will use a custom color for the background. This is useful when switching the [page background](/power-style-editor/power-style-editor-overview/settings-reference/page-background)
  * **Hide -** will hide the search area


# Course Specific Styles

![](https://media.giphy.com/media/hWl65BEtMP5DO/giphy.gif)

**Not all courses are created equal.** Sometimes you have "courses" that are "not a course. Like a membership resource library or a webinar replay..&#x20;

## :clipboard: For those who like to "Do" or "Read" :point\_down:&#x20;

* [ ] **Create a new custom page** called *Downloads Styles* - we will use this one **so we can create a new style** for a group of "not-a-course-courses"
* [ ] *Remove the Banner section and set the page security*
* [ ] **Copy the Power Style Editor** section from the [My Playeah Style page](/power-style-editor/power-style-quick-start-guide) we created earlier
* [ ] **Set the&#x20;*****Progress*****&#x20;setting to&#x20;*****Hide*** inside the *Side Menu (Top Section)*
* [ ] Open the *Style Applies To* settings group and change the *Applies to* dropdown to **Specific Courses**
* [ ] *Add a Course Targeting Block* for each course that you want to apply this style grouping to.
* [ ] **Click the Copy Code** button
* [ ] Hop back into *Site Footer Code* settings, and **paste it below the default one**

{% hint style="info" %}
It is recommended to only create a few of these style groupings. Start with the default one that you want to apply to "ALL" of your courses. Then just create style groupings for sets of courses that need a different style.

# Gamify Your Site Using plaYEAH!

:video\_game: Gamification is an awesome way to keep your audience interested, engaged in a fun way. Check out some of the ways you can use your new super power :woman\_superhero: , plaYEAH! to gamify your course experience.

## Gamification Tips & Concepts

:joystick: Gamification *does not just mean: giving free stuff, prizes, coupons, badging* - it is way more than that (and sometimes even easier). Here are some gamification concepts that we just love (and also **see working for our "guru" clients** - and no, you do not have to be a "guru" to implement these!!

### Surprises :hushed:&#x20;

Who doesn't love a good ol' suprise - unless it is a glitter bomb your prankster friend gave you to open in your brand new car. We are talking about the "good" surprises - something your members didn't expect, but were over-joyed to get it.

Don't do this&#x20;

![](https://media.giphy.com/media/VBAp5ZoguHI5i/giphy.gif)

**Do this instead**&#x20;

* Release some **new micro content that was not originally shown on your sales page** that is now available to them.
* Send out a **hyper personalized video** (We like Loom and VideoAsk for these) inviting your "action takers" to a private group coaching call
* **Create a "puzzle" where each "piece" gets released on each "chapter" completion** of your course. At the end of the course the puzzle pieces fit together to display a nice "congrats" message.
* **Send something in the mail** after a purchase. I mean who get's 'snail mail' these days, so that is a surprise unto itself. A bit more difficult to pull off because you have to get their address and actually mail stuff, but if you can pull it off, then the pay off may be worth it (especially for those high ticket courses - or membership)

### Rewards :gift:&#x20;

This is what people think of first when they think of gamification. And it does work - if the reward is something they actually want. Most people do not want a nice "badge" printout that they can hang on their refrigerator do they? We are not in school any more.

Here are some tips regarding a reward system

* Think about what rewards your members would really want to get
* Make it something you can easily produce and does not take a ton of effort for them to achieve (think micro-goal - like "do one thing => get reward")
* Make sure the reward is easy to use - don't you feel a bit disappointed when you get that gift card to some store that you hate or don't shop at?
* Don't make your reward system complicated to understand - keep it simple

### Status & Recognition :military\_medal:&#x20;

Most people like to be recognized for something they accomplished or like to know that they rank higher than someone else (the "food chain" is a "thing" you know). Think about how can you recognize your members for their hard work (or not so hard work even) so they know your are paying attention and that their efforts are work it (you do want them to keep consuming and buying your :poop: don't you?

Some ways you can use status and recognition in your favor:

* Come up with some fun names for people who have reached certain levels of progress (tie these to course completion). For example, if you have a dog training membership - maybe everyone who completes the "Crate training your puppy" course will be called "PP Pros". And if you have a kid in karate lessons, you already know about the different color "belts" that they get => this is gamification. They are all the same belt but just died with a different color fabric.
* Every other week - send our a summary email with screenshots of "wins" that come from your community forum / facebook group. It's a great way for you to not only highlight specific members with their faces/names - but also to show them that your :poop: really works!
* Have a member highlight their story on the next group call instead (and let them do the most of the talking!!). It will make your content more relatable and also possibly reveal to you ways that it as actually used in a different way than you expected.

# Super Pac-man

Using the "Pacman" method to change the way you think about selling your course

### :zap: Quick Win => Quick Sale :moneybag:&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
This is much better way to sell your course instead of using the standard Thinkific [free preview](https://support.thinkific.com/hc/en-us/articles/360030722473) feature
{% endhint %}

* [ ] **Setup a free (or super low cost) micro course** or live workshop (using Thinkific [Live Lesson features](https://support.thinkific.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044656134)). The goal is to keep it to **"one thing"** - one quick win for your members (and for you as well because you have to do a :poop: **ton less in trying to sell and create it**). I would personally make it just one lesson.
* [ ] Setup a [**Power Pop**](/power-pops-editor/quick-win-guides) **to be triggered upon 100% completion** (also let them know that there is a prize if they mark the lesson complete). Use an [Overlay](broken://pages/-MTDjGVY9V_X6PZrkt8b#overlay) or [Side Push](broken://pages/-MTDjGVY9V_X6PZrkt8b#side-push) pop type that uses a CTA that is the enroll link to the next "quick win".&#x20;
* [ ] **Create a second hidden mini course** and link the **CTA for the Pop you just created to enroll enroll them in this  hidden course** (using a free "next course" is perfect because they will be brought right into the course)
* [ ] Do the same thing and deliver another quick win in this course that is easy to understand, easy to implement
* [ ] **For the second course, setup another Power Pop that is triggered at 100%** - this one has a message that may temp them to join your signature course/membership at a discounted rate. Point out that will only see this message/offer here - once they close it, it's gone.

![](https://media.giphy.com/media/d9QiBcfzg64Io/giphy.gif)

{% hint style="success" %}
You can string as many of these as you like - kind of like a game of Pacman. You can have a few freebies in the beginning that leads them to a course or as little as two
{% endhint %}


# Member FOMO

Using the the "secret Contest Lesson type" and FOMO  to make users take actions Your Thinkific Course Experience With plaYEAH!

### :boom: Fast action & time sensitive :alarm\_clock:&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Using FOMO is not only great for *selling* your course, but it can also be used to your advantage to get your ***current members to take action**.* And this one creates a feeding frenzy:shark: of action.
{% endhint %}

* [ ] **Setup a new micro course to be used just for this** (perfect for memberships). Again the goal is something "micro" (which is less than "mini"). One thing. I would say create one chapter that has two lessons.
  1. Lesson 1 - a simple video or even a PDF to read -Enable lesson prerequisite&#x20;
  2. Lesson 2 - a one question quiz lesson type that is set to "must pass". Make it an easy to get it right type of question (maybe even silly)&#x20;
* [ ] Setup a **second chapter that is called "See if you won"**
  1. For this one you can have a basic video, or text that basically tells them to "Complete the course" to see if you have one.
* [ ] Setup a **Power Pop flow for this course with an** [**Overlay**](broken://pages/-MTDjGVY9V_X6PZrkt8b#overlay) **or** [**Side Push**](broken://pages/-MTDjGVY9V_X6PZrkt8b#side-push) **pop type configured to be shown upon 100% course completion.** Also set it up with a CTA that is linked to your reward (pdf, book some time, join private call, discount)
* [ ] **Announce** to your audience that you are **offer a prize for the first 20 people** who complete the new "course" you just released. Tell them it will go quick and the contest will end in 2 days
* [ ] **After the prize fills up** (you will have to watch this for now) - change the Power Pop so that it says a "sorry" message instead.


# Spot the Dancing Monkey

Turning a "fun" contest into content consumption

### :monkey: Spot the Dancing Monkey

{% hint style="info" %}
This is a "fun" one when you have a "fun bunch" of members
{% endhint %}

* [ ] Setup a bunch of nudge **Power Pop types;** [**"Mini"**](broken://pages/-MTDjGVY9V_X6PZrkt8b#nudge-mini) **or** [**"Medium"**](broken://pages/-MTDjGVY9V_X6PZrkt8b#nudge-medium) size to be triggered frequently (you can always pick certain courses to target or disable them completely)
* [ ] **Pick a "fun" animation** [**like a dancing monkey**](https://lottiefiles.com/search?q=dancing%20monkey\&category=animations):monkey: and use some fun wording that is focused on encouragement *"This alpaca thinks your are doing great!!"*
* [ ] Announce to your members that you want to see **who spots the most monkey's** inside the course. Tell them to snag a screenshot and post it in your group

{% hint style="success" %}
This is only just a small sample of some of the ways you can **introduce gamification into your Thinkific site, using plaYEAH!.** As more plaYEAH!s join the legion against boring experiences🦹🏽‍♂️ , the more gamification ideas we will share with you so that your super powers can increase.
{% endhint %}


# Escape Room

Using puzzles and progression to get your members to "escape your course"

{% hint style="info" %}
This is is perfect for linear based learning courses
{% endhint %}

* [ ] Create a course with multiple chapters&#x20;
* [ ] Set the lessons in each chapter to be mandatory using [Thinkific's "Prerequisite feature"](https://support.thinkific.com/hc/en-us/articles/360030741153)&#x20;
* [ ] Create a [PowerPop](/power-pops-editor/quick-win-guides) flow for that course where a prize is given for each chapter completed
  1. One pop for each chapter (you will know the progress complete for this because you are using the [prerequisite feature](https://support.thinkific.com/hc/en-us/articles/360030741153))
  2. Use the [Overlay](broken://pages/-MTDjGVY9V_X6PZrkt8b#overlay) or [Side Push](broken://pages/-MTDjGVY9V_X6PZrkt8b#side-push) Power [Pop Type](broken://pages/-MTDjGVY9V_X6PZrkt8b)
  3. Use the CTA options and link it to a PDF download&#x20;

# Magic Multimedia Lesson

This superpower allows you to control the complete and continue button from your Storyline code

In order to use this, you must understand how to call a Javascript function from within your authoring tool (Storyline, etc). Please do not contact support for instructions on how to do this from within your tool. What is being provided here is a way for your multimedia lesson html to be able to issue a Javascript message to a snippet of code from plaYEAH! that will be listening for certain messages to perform operations like hiding or clicking the complete and continue button.

### Step 1: Place the JavaScript into your .story file

1\) Open your .story file to the slide that has the button you want to activate the JavaScript code and select the button. <mark style="color:red;">**You must use a button to activate the JavaScript**</mark>

![](/files/wDykn1fSWEN9Av6yverM)

2\) In the Triggers panel, create a new trigger.

![](/files/OxIWktBQBrOe0gdWws4o)

3\) Choose Execute JavaScript in the JavaScript popup window and choose your button (if it isn’t already chosen.)

![](/files/eeAqat9vW7KBEgbB78BX)

Click on the JavaScript link that appears in the box and copy/paste the following (this will turn off the “Complete” button):

```
window.parent.postMessage('hide_complete', '*');
```

4\) Save your trigger and move it above any other triggers for the button that already exist.

5\) Save your slide.

6\) Open the slide that contains the button you want to use to turn the “Complete” button back on. Repeat the process, but this time the JavaScript you will use is:

```
window.parent.postMessage('show_complete', '*');
```

### Step 2: Place JavaScript into your story.html file

1\) Export your Storyline document for Web by clicking Publish > Web. Find your exported files. Within the exported files folder that is created you will see a story.html file. Open this file using a text editor. I use Atom, but here is a list you might want to choose from.&#x20;

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Do not use MS Word** or any other kind of word processing program: Sublime Text Atom Notepad++ CoffeeCup – The HTML Editor TextMate Vim UltraEdit Coda BBEdit Komodo Edit Visual Studio Code Brackets CodeShare
{% endhint %}

Once you have your story.html open, copy/paste the following code after and before at the top of the file. Save your file.

```
<script>
   
        function hide_cc() {
            /* hide thinkific course player complete and continue button*/
            window.parent.postMessage('hide_complete', '*');
        }
        function show_cc() {
            /* show thinkific course player complete and continue button*/
            window.parent.postMessage('show_complete', '*');
        }
        function click_cc() {
            /* click thinkific course player complete and continue button*/
            window.parent.postMessage('click_complete', '*');
        }
        function click_ic() {
            /* click thinkific course player mark incomplete button*/
            window.parent.postMessage('click_incomplete', '*');
        }
        function hide_tcp() {
            /* hide thinkific course player sidenav */
            window.parent.postMessage('hide_tcp_chapters', '*');
        }
        function show_tcp() {
            /* shows thinkific course player sidenav */
            window.parent.postMessage('show_tcp_chapters', '*');
        }
        
</script>
```

{% hint style="danger" %}
This code should go before any other JavaScript code that you might see, but after **`</style>. For Example:`**

![](/files/hrVd0DFFM9JDrapWX8vQ)

<br>
{% endhint %}

### Step 3: Zip all of the files you will need for uploading to Thinkific

### Step 4: Place JavaScript code into the footer in your Thinkific account

1. Log into your Thinkific account.&#x20;
2. In the left sidebar, click on “Settings” In the panel that appears, choose the tab that says “Code & Analytics”&#x20;
3. Copy/paste the following code into the footer and choose&#x20;
4. Save

```

# Uninstalling plaYEAH!

Think real, real hard about this one plaYEAH!

![](https://media.giphy.com/media/d2lcHJTG5Tscg/giphy.gif)

😢  plaYEAH! - please tell me it's not true - say it ain't so. **Do you really want to remove plaYEAH!** from your site? You realize you will lose all of that super power strength :man\_superhero: that you once had, don't you?

Ok, well if you really really want to, the instructions are below :point\_down:&#x20;

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Important Note:** once you uninstall plaYEAH! - you will no longer be able to create Power Pops that will help encourage, entertain, engage and motivate your students to completing your course. **You will also**, not be able to create or update any new Power Styles for your course player.&#x20;

I just want you to understand the consequences before making such terrible decision... but because I still love ya - as long as you keep your plaYEAH scripts inside your site footer code settings - you will still get *to use the last Power Style and Power Pop* you pasted there. Just don't remove it
{% endhint %}

## :woman\_supervillain: Here is how to lose your super powers👇

* [ ] Head over to your integrations page inside of your site&#x20;

![](/files/-MTMWAD3siWdiRxnAFJ5)

# Known issues

Life is not perfect and neither are apps

### Quiz and Survey lessons are not triggering popups

plaYEAH! relies on [events that occur from Thinkific's course player](https://support.thinkific.com/hc/en-us/articles/360030725813). Currently there is a known issue where quiz and survey lessons are not triggering the "complete" event. So this means if your course ends in a quiz or if you are targeting quiz lessons individually, then plaYEAH! will not be able to show the pop. We are working with Thinkific to see if this issue can be addressed in their course player.

Issue resolution starts with **clearly understanding your problem** or question. So the clearer and more precise you are in not only describing the issue, but also what exactly you are trying to achieve goes a long way into a quick resolution.

The best way to report issues is to share a screen recording video. This way you can actually describe and show at the same time. Plus it is much quicker for you as well, because you do not have to type a long message.&#x20;

We love :heart\_eyes: screen recordings and issues that include them quickly go to the top of the priority list. Use [Loom](https://www.loom.com/) or other free tools, to quickly and easily share a screen recording.

# Frequently Asked Questions

## Who is the creator if plaYEAH?

plaYEAH! is just one of [the PowerUp's](https://powerups.thinkific.com/) (aka Thinkific apps) that are created by [Rob Galvin](https://www.robgalvin.co/) - who has been a certified [Thinkific Expert](https://www.thinkific.com/experts/site-creation-experts/rob-galvin/) for over four+ years. Rob and his team have been customizing Thinkific Site Experiences since 2016 (before there was "Site Builder", before there was "Page Builder" and before there was even an "Expert" program.)

Every day Rob and his team work on creating new ways to use Thinkific, creating hand crafted designs and user experiences that match the business and type of program being used on Thinkific *(it's not just for "courses" - we have done events, ambassador training, membership programs, corporate training, continuing education - you name it we have seen it.)*

**Up until now, only select business had the opportunity to work 1 on 1 with us**. But now, with Thinkific's "App Store" model - we are able to easily package up all of our **"ninja tricks"** :man\_mage: that we are creating for our clients (who handsomely pay us thousands of dollars) into what we call PowerUps.

## What in the world is a "PowerUp"

A PowerUp is a collection of new Site Builder sections that will give you new designs, features and abilities. Technically they are called "Theme Extensions" - this is different than the "custom themes" we create for clients. "Theme Extensions" allow you to stay up to date with Thinkific's theme updates while preserving and not losing any of the PowerUps you have installed and setup.

And the best part is, once you install a PowerUp:

* You get to keep it forever :calendar: (as long as you do not uninstall it)
* When we update it :zap: - you get the updates (for free and without having to click any buttons)
* You can use you new super powers :superhero: on any page (unless we tell you otherwise)

## Do I need any technical skills?

Nope. These PowerUps are created especially for those who are not technical. All settings are exposed via Site Builder.

## Do I need to pay a monthly fee?

Nope. You can buy this power up and pay once => keep forever. Or if you want to swipe all of our PowerUps, you can get a PowerUp pass for a year for $399.

## Do I need to learn another platform / app?

No, you will not need to remember another login. Everything will accessible and easy to use inside of Thinkific's Site Builder.

## How much would it cost if I paid a developer to do this?

It would easily cost several hundred dollars just for this PowerUp - In fact, our clients are paying us several thousand dollars to create similar experiences for them. $399/year is a steal for the PowerUp pass.

## Can I still get Thinkific theme updates?

Yes, this new "App" model allows you to install theme extensions like this PowerUp and still be able to update Thinkific updates without losing anything.

## Can I really keep this forever?

Once you install it into your Thinkific site. It is yours to keep forever. And if you are a PowerUp Pass member, you will still be able to use it after you cancel your subscription.

## Can I set this up without effecting existing members?

Yes, although it only takes a few minutes to setup - you can play around and set it up before making it live for your members.

## What do I need to use this?

You must be on a current "Site Builder" theme and have an active paying subscription with Thinkific.

## Can I use this if I am on a Free plan?

Currently No, Thinkific does not allow app's to be used on a free plan. Anything above a free plan will work.

## What happens after I purchase?

After you create an account and submit payment, you will be instructed to install the Power Up into your Thinkific site. You will then be able to access helpful videos on how to set it up.

## Will this PowerUp be updated in the future?

Yes. In fact, if you are a PowerUp Pass member, you will be able to request tweaks. Occasionally we will release an update that contains all requests and they will be instantly available to you.

## Can I use this on multiple sites?

You can use this on multiple sites if you have purchased an Agency license.

## Will you set this up for me?

It is drop dead easy to setup and use in a matter of minutes. And with the helpful videos, I am practically right behind your shoulder guiding you. Sorry, this is DIY.

## With a PowerUp Pass I can basically swipe all of the PowerUps?

Crazy isn't it? If you paid for the PowerUP Pass, installed all of the PowerUps and then cancelled, you would still have the PowerUps available to you - even future updates.

## Why is this so inexpensive, when your clients are paying thousands of dollars?

I am taking much of the value I provide to my 1-on-1 clients and packaging them up for the rest of the Thinkific community to benefit from. Just call us "Rob"in Hood.

## Can I request any customizations?

If you are a PowerUp Pass member, you can request tweaks to any PowerUp. We will review requests on a regular basis and update or create new PowersUps for you and other members.

## Can I use this with a custom theme?

You will be able to install this if you are using a custom theme. Most if not all sections should work, but are not guaranteed to if you are using a custom theme.
