Completion of module

Hi Amy,

Welcome to the Heroes page...

sending an email requires some java-code

I've attached an example of sending an email from within your project

On your last slide, you just foresee a button, like in the example (email)...
you'll need to publish your project to see the result as Java can not be run from the preview mode

Hope it helps

Cheers

Geert

Hi Amy! Looks like Geert is assisting you here, but I just wanted to pop in and welcome you to E-Learning Heroes

Thanks Geert for the information!  If I wanted to have the email sent to a specific email address with a subject description, where would I add that to the java script?

var player = GetPlayer();
var email=player.GetVar("email");
var subject="your subject";
var body_start=player.GetVar("notes");
var mailto_link='mailto:'+email+'?subject='+subject+'&body='+escape(body_start);
win=window.open(mailto_link,'emailWin');

I am not very savy with writing script so I greatly appreciate your feedback!

Thanks much!

Amy  

Also, the slide that you sent me works when I publish the project.  But when I copied and pasted the slide into my project and then published it, the email button does not work...  Any ideas on why this is happening?

Thanks much!

Amy

Hi All - this topic is perfect timing for me! To add to Amy's question on inserting  a specific email address and subject line (which I am also keen to know if there's a way!) is there any way to insert the java script / email button on the results slide, or have the user attach the results slide to the email they're sending in?

Hi Amy,

These 2 lines need to be modified

var email=player.GetVar("email");
var subject="your subject";

into

var email="The email address you want"; e.g. var email="my_email@my_office.com"
var subject="The subject description"; e.g. var email="End of the training course"

Regarding your second question, it could be that the macromedia security settings are acting against you.

You'll need to add the drive (or path)where you're running the story.html file from

Cheers

Thanks Geert!  That worked perfectly!

Enjoy your day,

Amy
