HTML5 landing page- modify or remove? (urgent)

Hi Dave, 

The page cannot be removed, as you saw in the previous thread indicated that HTML5 needs a "click" to play, as there is no auto play. If you're using the Articulate Mobile player, you may want to submit a Feature request to have the button removed or accessible in Portrait mode. 

Hi, Ashley. Dave's question does not pertain to the Mobile Player. And although HTML5 requires a click to start, rather than clicking on the Articulate launch page, we need to the option to make that initial click on our own page. A click is a click.

Steve has shown how to do this by tweaking one of the .js files, but a "Show Launch Page" button during the publish phase would be a heck of a lot cleaner way to handle this.

Hi Russ, 

As I suggested to Dave, what you're suggesting sounds like a good feature request.  For the mobile player, or html5. 

Ashley, I just submitted a feature request. I understand the need for a 'start' page, but it would be ideal if that start page were customizable at the very least. I'd love to be able to ONLY show the title of the lesson with a 'click to start' button... that would prevent confusion, especially for lessons or quizzes optimized for phones or other (non-tablet) mobile devices.

This is a feature that's been requested quite a few times already. Dave, check out this thread. Steve shows how to do it. It works really well but if you have very many modules is a nuisance to do:

Thanks Dave for submitting the feature request and the more requests we receive, the more our development team knows about what our users need. 

Thanks Russ for sharing the link to the workout from Steve.

Ashley, my pleasure. Thanks for your quick responses. I love that you guys have the 'feature request' set up for users. Also love the transparency and community support. Keep up the great work!!

(And Russ- that worked! Awesome find. A huge thanks to both you and Steve.)

Hiding this launch screen on the iOS requires some code changes on javascript file. I have explained this on my post: http://www.electronmedia.in/wp/hide-articulate-storyline-html5-launch-page-iosipad/

The same solution suggested in some other posts on this forum as well.

You will have to be aware of 2 things:

1) You are modifying the output code to facilitate this. This means you will have to make this change (or) replace the modified storyline_compiled.js everytime you publish the content

2) If your content has any audio/video which auto plays on the very first slide then this is best to be avoided

Thanks Dave for the feedback.

Hi, Electron Media... can you resubmit the link a "page not fonud" is reported. Thanks

Hi Juanjo,

You may also want to PM Electron Media, as I'm not sure if he's subscribed to the thread

Thanks for sharing that Juanjo, as it may help someone else out in the community in the future

Sorry, the link has been fixed!

Thanks Electron!

By passing this page seems to the popular choice for some developers. Now what about if your does have audio that you want to automatically play? Its back to the edit option !

Hi Trav, 

There is some discussion here on how to remove the launch page, although the issue is that within HTML5 the audio (or video) needs a click event to trigger it. 

Many thanks

This talk about skipping the page with pasting in "player.revealPostInterstitial();"

But is it possible to edit the page ?

Hi Trav,

I haven't seen a method to edit it, only remove it. 

Seems like there might be a way I have started a new tread on editing it !

Nice Trav, and thanks for sharing the link here. I'll be curious to follow along and hear what other edits users have come up with.
