I'm not sure if this is an Articulate issue, or something from Plateau/Success Factors, but here goes. I'm publishing my Articulate 2013 course in SCORM 2004 v2 for deployment on our Plateau LMS. When the course is launched, it comes up in a "wrapper" with a set of control buttons (Suspend, Continue, Exit). Is this something from Articulate, and if so, how can I manage it? At the very least, I need to edit those buttons because the naming is not at all intuitive. I don't see any place within the Articulate tool to control this, although I am seeing some possible connection in the manifest file. Help?

Our IT team identified this issue: the SCORM package we exported from Rise no longer included the xmlns definition for adlnav. Therefore, the fix to both delete the terrible navigation button wrappers and make sure you don't get a content upload error that prevents you from uploading to SAP is this: Export SCORM 2004 v. 4 file unzip open imsmanifest.xml file edit as follows (using wordpad, not MS Word): Add the following text just below the SECOND <title> XXXXX </title>: <adlnav:presentation><adlnav:navigationInterface><adlnav:hideLMSUI>continue</adlnav:hideLMSUI><adlnav:hideLMSUI>previous</adlnav:hideLMSUI><adlnav:hideLMSUI>exit</adlnav:hideLMSUI><adlnav:hideLMSUI>abandon</adlnav:hideLMSUI><adlnav:hideLMSUI>exitAll</adlnav:hideLMSUI><adlnav:hideLMSUI>suspendAll</adlnav:hideLMSUI><adlnav:hideLMSUI>abandonAll</adlnav:hideLMSUI></adlnav:navigationInterface></adlnav:presentation> Check if the identifier xmlns:adlnav=”http://www.adlnet.org/xsd/adlnav_v1p3 is present. If not, add this exactly (include quotation marks at end) in the xmlns definitions: xmlns:adlnav="http://www.adlnet.org/xsd/adlnav_v1p3"notably, we add this just after the line that starts with xmlns:imiss=... Save and rezip the file Upload to SAP *side note: this doesn't seem to be a change in the SAP software, but in what Articulate includes in the exported content package. Our IT department told us to follow up with Articulate to find out why this had changed.

Janet - I am experiencing the same problem. Success Factors said to add code to the imsmanifest file to hide the controls but i have no idea where to add it. SF Learning launches SCORM 2004 4th edition content inside an LMS-provided navigation wrapper. If your content is coded to set the required navigations requests and the LMS-provided navigation buttons are not needed, they can be hidden by adding the prescribed tags below in the imsmanifest file. <adlnav:presentation><adlnav:navigationInterface><adlnav:hideLMSUI>previous</adlnav:hideLMSUI><adlnav:hideLMSUI>continue</adlnav:hideLMSUI><adlnav:hideLMSUI>exitAll</adlnav:hideLMSUI><adlnav:hideLMSUI>suspendAll</adlnav:hideLMSUI> Hoping someone has additional info or provide suggestions on adding this to the manifest file. </adlnav:navigationInterface><adlnav:presentation>

Hi Phillip, Those are part of the content player frame generated by Plateau. It's been awhile since I've monkeyed with the launch settings in Plateau. You may be able to change this in the configuration. Have you tried a SCORM 1.2 publish to see if the player frame behaves differently? If you're only dealing with a single module, you may see different / better results with SCORM 1.2. At the very least you may see fewer buttons in the wrapper.

Thanks, Steve. That's sort of what I was thinking, but our admin couldn't find the settings. I've sent a note to the Plateau forums in hopes that they'll have the answer I need. Gotta use SCORM 2004 in order to capture and report an open-ended text response in the module, otherwise, I've always been real happy with simple AICC (and life would be much simpler). Thanks again!

If you run out of options in the configuration, you might be able to leverage DOM to change these labels or hide the buttons alltogether with some JavaScript in a trigger. Since the player frame is "upstream" from the content, you should be able to target the element. From what I've read about Plateau and SCORM2004, apparently they added the suspend button because they intended for the participant to click it... Because they require suspend to be invoked by the user. Accessing the buttons and features through DOM you should be able to trigger these before unload. Which is how it should be done Plateau / SuccessFactors never scored many points with me.

Hey, Steve, thanks again for the suggestion. Now I'll show my ignorance and ask, "what is DOM?"

I've been all through the manifest and .js files via my Articulate package and all I've managed to do is confuse myself.

Hi Phillip,

I came across your post as we're running into the same issue in Plateau/Success Factors. Were you able to find a way to remove these buttons? Thanks!

Hi Katy,

This thread is a bit older, so I'm not sure that Phillip is still subscribed. You may want to reach out to him directly using the "contact me" option on his profile page.

Same....upload our scorm package and we have the banner/wrapper show up with the 3 buttons...

Can this be removed completely?

Hi Raymond and Jakob,

I haven't seen any other updates here, and as Steve initially mentioned it's a part of the wrapper within the LMS. To confirm this (in the event that maybe you're seeing something a little different) you could upload a copy of your published output to SCORM Cloud which is an industry standard for testing SCORM content. You could also reach out to others in this thread directly using the "contact me" option on their profile pages.

Looks like this thread has kind of dwindled away, but the problem still exists. I am publishing a SL2 course, SCORM 2004 4th ed, to SuccessFactors LMS. The three wrapper buttons appear and I've tried everything I can think of to get rid of them. I've attached the imsmanifest for the course, and the KnowledgeBase article from SuccessFactors. Nothing is working. Still looks like this:

Has anyone had success in getting rid of these buttons? Been banging my head on the wall for several weeks now and need some help. Thanks!
