editing presentation.xml file to remove quiz trap

Jul 11, 2011

Hi has anyone edited the presentation.xml file to remove a quiz trap?

I am trying to get rid of a "you must complete assessment to continue" message without republishing if I can.

It seems simple enough. I see a <trap>true</trap> setting but when I change it to <trap>false</trap> the course skips right by the quiz as if the learner failed. So I must be missing something. :(

Thanks!

Chris

I havent checked them all out but there are a lot of other quiz options in the xml.. one of those could be effecting it.

I will post a sample of one of mine that behaves like you want (I think) for you to compare too... 

It is possible it's the "replaycount" node? perhaps they are only getting one chance at the quiz...

You may want to publish a one slide ppt with a one question quiz that has the settings you want and compare that...
