Problem printing results offline

Jan 11, 2012

Hello!

I really need some help regarding printing results from QuizMaker.

I have a test which I can print my results when I pass, and as long as I´m online there is no problem. But when I do the test offline ofcourse I can¨t get my variables to the print page.

Anybody that knows how to work around this and how to get a printed diploma even when you´re offline?

Appriciate any help or ideas.

Regards / Kent

Hi Ken,

Are you publishing to a server or LMS or viewing locally? I found that the results.html file doesn't always launch if it's not hosted in the proper location it was published for. If you are veiwing off a network drive, make sure you are viewing from your local drive. For the best experience reviewing locally, you might try publishing for a CD and then launching the EXE player file. That's desined to run locally so it overcomes most of the normal obstacles.

Hi and thanks for your reply! I'm just trying to figure out how to get the variables that I'm using in the "report.html" to work without being online. I tried to publish for CD but no dice. When I put my content online it works like a charm, but my customer needs a version that runs offline and as it is now the users completing the test offline can´t get their certificate. So I was thinking I needed a way to fetch the variables that QuizMaker sends to the report page somehow... But how can that be done, any ideas?

Hmm, so what are the variables?


I can just see them in the report.html page. It´s the variables that holds the user name, test name and the results.

For example: g_oQuizResults.oOptions.strName is the user name variable that the report page needs to write the users name onto the certification. But when offline I can´t see the text in the report page because the pages can´t communicate it seems. Or is there something else I´missing?

Without an LMS or server database, the variables are only available when the code runs during the session. Not sure if that's what you mean by "offline" use. So the print results is really only available when it opens. Once it's closed it needs to be generated again.

Here's a good blog from Word of Mouth that has a certificate idea you could connect to a database: http://www.articulate.com/blog/web-object-php-to-generate-a-custom-certificate-of-completion/
