Has anybody figured out a way to add a warning "you are about to exit the course...." popup on click of the Exit tab on the Player...I remember it used be editable within text labels for the presenter.
I haven't seen any way to add the text within the Exit tab on the player, but there is some discussion over here about creating a custom exit button, and what that text would say.
Ashley, thanks. I needed a double check button. I guess I can guide the Exit button to a slide and have the real exit button on that slide. That should be doable.
If you're going to use your own custom button (there is a trigger option to close the course) you could use one button, that when clicked shows a layer with the double check (are you ready to exit) and then a Yes or No - yes, returns to the base layer and no exits the course.
Hi. This is an old thread and I'm wondering if there's a better way to do this. I created the exit slide which is fine except bookmarking brings us back to that slide. Is there another way to trigger the warning in SL2--it needs to be a trigger that would work from any slide so the layer option is not great. Or is there a way to change the bookmarking to go to the second last slide?
There isn't an option to change how the bookmarking works - but I wonder if you did it in a lightbox slide - if you could set the trigger to close lightbox when the user clicks yes and to exit the course as well? As long as the lightbox closes before the course exited - it would bring them back to the original slide, and not the lightbox slide?
That'd be my educated guess - as long as the "close lightbox" trigger had time to execute and the initial trigger to show the info in the lightbox was based on a user clicking something.
Hi Ashley. So I've tried a few things to no avail. It looks like it doesn't have time to execute because when we open the course, the lightbox is still open.
By accident, at one point, we had a "submit score to LMS" associated to the button. I don't want to use that trigger because the point of the exit is that it can be used at any time in the course. But interestingly, this action seemed to give enough of a pause for the lightbox to close then exit (the submit was a trigger sitting in between both those triggers). So I thought, what if there was another non-essential trigger that would create the same pause. Doesn't seem to work though. I tried using a variable (1. close lightbox, 2. change button to true when clicked 3. close course when true). This did not work as a pause and also caused an issue because the variable did not reset. Any other suggestions? I'm pressed for time on this one as it should have gone to our LMS group today.
The exit trigger on it's own can be problematic as detailed here.
Sorry Natasha - it's working the way it should in terms of returning you to the slide you left off on, just not the way you'd like it to...I'm fresh out of other ideas. :(

Worth playing around with maybe!
Thanks Ashley...you're always such a help!
If the slides are set to Return to initial state, do you think the lightbox will be closed when they go back to it when they reopen the course?

BTW sometimes the actual exit trigger does not work when it's after the close lightbox trigger. Why is that happening?
