Customizing default Resume Course screen

Hello Patrick,

You cannot change the style or shape of the box, as it is built into the player, but you can change the colors, and also the text  of the prompt under the Player tab under Text Labels, Resume Player and Resume Player Text.

Thanks for the reply Emily!

We might have to settle for the changing of the colors if I can't figure something else out. It seems strange that with all of the options available for removing and customizing the design of the standard player that this isn't possible at this time. Hopefully in a future release we'll have access to this the same way we have access to the Feedback Master Slides.

I'm currently trying to take the concepts in this link (http://www.articulate.com/blog/save-states-slide-upon-resume-storyline/) a step or two further to see if I can get a custom resume screen to work the way I'm envisioning. 

Thanks again!

There's a tricky way to do it with a completely custom overlay and a bit of JavaScript. Will work up an example if you're OK living with some JavaScript in a trigger:)

Hey Steve,

Thanks for the response. I'm open to any suggestions, even if it involves some JavaScript. Interested to see your example when you have some time.

Thanks!

Give this a shot. Story file attached.

Meant to mention - it doesn't actually clear out variables, or prior states, etc.. it merely directs the user to one specific screen or right back to the last place they were. If you want to specifically clear out variables, you'd need to do those manually. You could do that via JS. Resetting states would require setting up your slides and layers to reset to initial state.

Hey Steve,

Thanks for the sample file! I'll definitely be taking a look this morning. I'm using the Restart course trigger to reset variables. It seems as though this was recently updated for SL2. The rest of the slides are set up to return to initial state since I'm using a custom replay button on each slide. I'll let you know how this works out once I've gone through it.

Thanks again!

Thanks for sharing Steve,

Hopefully you can get this to work for you Patrick! You can always send in a feature request if you would like to see an option for changing the resume box in a future release.

Hi, everyone...

I dig this threat after a year hoping some help. First of all thank you very much for this contribution Steve.

I can't understand from where you pull: window.temp="loaded";

It's working fine on flash but not on html5.

Any clue on this?

Regards.
