Disabling submit button?

Hey Jason!

Go to slide properties....U can access it by clicking the gear icon appearing at the right corner against the layer label...."Check the box "Hide objects on base layer."

Best of luck!

Thanks Hassan, I've tried that. Both Prevent the user from clicking on the base layer and Pause timeline of base layer are ticked. I also added Hide objects on base layer with no luck. The Submit button is actually part of the Player which the layers sit in. It's greyed out on the main Correct and Incorrect layers but not for the two custom ones.

Thanks!

Hi Jason

Not sure on the logic you need? can you attach a sample?

Also you can remove the player submit button (via the gear icon) and create you own to gain more options

Hi Jason,

I'm also not following your set up - as you mentioned covering up the buttons on your layer, but if you're using the "submit" button on the player there wouldn't be a way to cover it up. If you're able to share that .story file or even the one slide with these layers that'll help us get a sense of what you've set up. 

Jason,

You can change the state of the submit button once the user clicks submit. You can either change it to disable or hidden. This is how the button works on the preloaded correct and incorrect layers. The submit button is disabled after the user clicks.

Hi All,

This doesn't appear to have been answered. I understand the original question because I have the same issue. I want to disable the submit button when a layer is shown. Is there a way to do that?  (I am using the layer to display hints and definitions to help the learner and I don't want them to be able to submit the interaction when the layer is displayed.)

Hi Kristin - have you changed the settings for the layer so that they can't click on other layers?

Yes. Trigger state change of submit button to either hidden (will
disappear) or disable (will be visible, but not functional) when same
trigger that launches the layer. Then you'll need to set it back to normal
with a trigger on the layer or a variable. Let me know if you have any
other questions.

Yes, but that doesn't affect the buttons in the player. I found a response where people have copied the default feedback screens and just deleted the default message and placed their own materials on that slide. That works. That slide has the buttons automatically disabled.

Actually, I just duplicated an automatic feedback slide and replaced the default message with my own material. Thanks for your suggestion.

Thanks for popping back in with an update, Kristin. I'm glad you were able to find a solution.
