SCORM2004Functions.js Problem

You really shouldn't need to edit any files to get the content to work. I would suggest testing your content in the SCORM Cloud as noted here:

http://www.articulate.com/blog/9-ways-to-troubleshoot-articulate-lms-issues/

It's unlikely to have this issue. It may be that there is an issue with the version of Java Runtime Environment you are using if your LMS uses that bu that would be an issue on the LMS side as Articulate doesn't actually use JRE. I would also test the content in other web browsers to help isolate what the actual problem is. I would also suggest contacting your LMS to see what they have to say about this.

I've succesfully tested my couses with  SCORM_2004_3rd_Ed_CTS_V1.0.2_ST (Sharable Content Object (SCO) Run-Time Environment (RTE) Conformance Utility Test, log in attached file), and with SCORM Cloud (Here is my SCORMEngine Debug Log : http://cloud.scorm.com/sc/guest/ViewDebugLog?logId=4fd957a5-9ba0-4c00-8c39-7b72a91f006c&courseTitle=Contexte+socio-%26%23233%3Bconomique+de+l%26%238217%3B%26%23233%3Bducation+th%26%23233%3Brapeutique ).

MySCORM seems correct.

I tested the online course with IE, Firefox and Chrome, none of these browers managed to show it. but IE is the one who shows me the error detail. 

Do you get the same error message in IE when viewing the content in the SCORM Cloud as you do when viewing the content in your own LMS?

No, with SCORM Cloud I'm able to view the content without any error.

So it must be an issue between my Articulate course and my LMS.

But is that a knowned issue with Dokeos 2.0 or should I say to the LMS installer to check something in particular ? Maybe the version of Java Runtime Environment ? And something else ?

Hi Aurelie,

When you're uploading the SCORM zip file to Dokeos, what option are you selecting for origin?  Have you tried the "Generic" option or the ADLnet option?

I tried with "Generic SCORM", "Articulate" and "ADLnet" options  :  unfortunately, the strStatus in SCORM2004Functions.js issue is still there.

Hi Aurelie,

I've done some additional research and the error is occurring because the LMS is sending a status of NOT_ATTEMPTED, UNKNOWN or the strStatus is completely blank on the "getobjectivestatus" function.  Please try the following to resolve the issue:

On line 1258 in the SCORM2004Function.js, change this:

[quote]else if (strCompletionStatus == SCORM2004_NOT_ATTEMPTED || strCompletionStatus == SCORM2004_UNKNOWN || strStatus == ""){

WriteToDebug("Returning Not Attempted");

return LESSON_STATUS_NOT_ATTEMPTED;

}[/quote]

To this:

[quote]else if (strCompletionStatus == SCORM2004_NOT_ATTEMPTED || strCompletionStatus == SCORM2004_UNKNOWN){

WriteToDebug("Returning Not Attempted");

return LESSON_STATUS_NOT_ATTEMPTED;

}[/quote]

Please let me know if this resolves the issue.

Thanks for you help.

I tried with this code change (line 1258). I face now the same error message, but for line 1428 :

"Détails de l’erreur de la page Web

"

What changes do I have to implement on this line?

(For information, the strStatus  variable exists on lines 1258, 1266 and 1428 in the SCORM2004Function.js file.)

Hi Aurelie,

Change this

[quote]

"strStatus=" + strStatus);

[/quote]

To this:

[quote]

"strStatus=");

[/quote]

With this being said, I would recommend that you contact your LMS vendor to see why it's not allowing the blank value in strstatus.  These modifications aren't necessary for any LMS that I've seen.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work, even with this modifications.

I'm waiting for my LMS installer answer.

Thanks for your help.

Just to add my two cents here.

I know very little about Articulate, but I just hit this same bug.  I've seen it in IE7 and IE9, but I haven't seen it in any other browser.  I tried Brian's solution (above), and that appeared to make the error go away, at least in IE9.  I don't know enough about this code to understand why it would appear as a bug in IE, but not other browsers.
