How to generate current date and time?

Hi Palani,

This screenr should point you in the right direction  https://player.vimeo.com/video/145576537 there is also this page:http://www.articulate.com/support/kb_article.php?product=st1&id=llwes8cn32vg  which has the Storyline best practices and examples. 

Hope this helps.

Hi Palani! Looks like Harri is taking care of you here Just let us know if you need anything further.

Hi,

Thanks for sending me the link to the video. I tried out the steps as given, but still the date does not get displayed. Am not able to identify if am missing something. Attached below is a screenshot showing a blank screen.

I have attached the working file for your reference. Is it possible for someone to work on this and get back to me. Also please mark the errors that I have made as this will be helpful.

Will appreciate help from anyone.

Because you check it locally from disk, try embed this course to LMS or other server and then check, I'm sure it will work

Hi Palani,

I can  see the Javascript working if I publish and then launch in IE9. What browser are you using? Could it be something to do with your security settings?

Also, 

I've uploaded your course to http://tempshare.articulate.com/  (mimics the LMS) and found that the javascript does work in google chrome and IE9 

This is your link to the course if you want to check it out.

Hi Palani

In the image it looks like you're using Google Chrome - we find during training that some javascript works and some doesn't if you are using Chrome. It's worth trying it in other browsers (IE seems to perform best for this), also make sure you are testing in your final destination - i.e. LMS - to make sure.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your guidance for this.

However, I need to get this to work in Google Chrome. Are there any settings that need to be activated to get this to run on Google Chrome.

I have another query. Please guide me on how I can send a feedback via email

How to feedback via a email?

I want to know how a user can type in text (for example feedback) in a text box, and then click a button to send a mail back to me. The mail should contain the feedback that the user has entered.

Attached is a screenshot of my requirement.

Hi Palani,

I found that if I uploaded your file to tempshare I could view it in chrome without any issue. Therefore I assume that uploading to an LMS will resolve this issue with functionality.

If, however, you are only going to use a web version for whatever reason I would probably reconsider using Javascript as, if the learner used a browser other than IE they would miss out on the functionality. 

Palani, it looks like Harri is helping you out here but if you need anything else please let us know! 

Hello,

All ze best for 2014...

I have exactly same problem than Palani concerning showing current date.

I can't see anything while publishing, and using Internet Explorer...

I already have a look to the tutorial video, but even being very careful, I can't find reason...

Any additional idea?

Hi Olivier,

Are you testing this course using the published version in the intended environment? Testing it locally could cause you to encounter security restrictions from the computer, web browser, Flash Player, and network that'll cause various features of your content to fail. 

Should you be able to copy/paste the text variable among multiple slides? I was able to create the variable, but when I copy it to another slide, it doesn't work.

Hi, Anna.

Thank you for reaching out!

I'm not sure if you're asking a generic question on copying variables or specifically asking about the Javascript example in the video posted. 

When you create the variable, you can insert a textbox with a reference to the variable (it will look like %variablename%). If you copy and paste that textbox to other slides, does it work?

I am not familiar with Javascript, so hopefully others from the community will chime in, but executing it on the first slide should still apply to other slides that reference that variable.

Let me know if this works!
