Wondering if anyone has added authentication to their projects and if so, how. Would like for the user to answer a few questions at the beginning of the course and then throughout the course the questions will reappear and their answers will need to match the ones given at the beginning of the course to make sure that it is the same user. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!
Hi, Joann -- Thanks for your question! Do you happen to have a project started that you can share (so we can get a better idea of what you have in mind in relation to your current setup)?
Hi Christie, I have attached a the beginning of the project. On the first slide I created variables for the user to enter. I want to be able to put check points throughout the module that the user has to complete before it will allow them to complete the course. For instance on slide 1.5, I'd like a question to be something like "what is your father's middle name" and their answer would need to match what they entered on slide one. I hope I'm explaining it correctly.
When they answer the first question it will be stored in a variable, I would rename it to something that makes sense like Answer1. Then when you check their answer it will get added to another variable... I would name that CheckAnswer1. Then on that page you could program triggers around that (if Answer1 is equal to ignore case CheckAnser1) for example. Then set up an additional trigger if they are not equal. the zip you attached was not a .story file so its hard to be specific.
Hi Eric, Thank you for your response. Attached is the .story file. I'm a little unclear on how to create the second variable to check their answer but I will play around with it.
I'll take a look, in the top right corner of the triggers box is a little window looking box that will let you manage all of your project variables, this is where you can choose to edit and rename variables. Basically every time you create a text entry box it will auto create a variable to store the text... using these variables is as simple as giving them a name you can remember so you can reference them later.

I forgot to mention, that there is a condition on the first slide that the user has to answer all questions before progressing to the next slide.

Ok I made a couple of tweaks and added 1 question so you can see how it works.
Eric you are a life saver!!! Thank you very much!!!
