Javascript not working anymore

Jan 29, 2020

Hello everyone,

I need some help from members who are more into Javascript than I am :)

 

Some time ago, I needed to hide the "Reset slide" / "Restart" button next to the the seekbar on the Modern player, and I found a thread with this explanation on how to do that:

---------------------------------------------------

Using JavaScript, run the following code on your master slides when timeline starts:

$('button.btn-reset').hide();

If you have a slide where you want to show it again use the following:
$('button.btn-reset').show();

----------------------------------------------------

Since that time, I've used those codes in several projects, and they've always worked perfectly.

Now they don't work anymore. When using the exact same codes on a new project, the button is not hidden.

I did a few check, one of the most interesting ones is the following:  All previous Storyline projects that I have already either exported or published in Review 360 are still working fine, BUT if I try to re-export/re-publish them again now (after the most recent Articulate updates) this JS code doesn't work anymore.

 

I've already tried to update the Articulate software again, save the project as a new one, and and to import it as a new project. None of these solutions worked.

 

On Review, I used the Inspect Page function to look for errors, and I could only find this:

actionator::exeJavaScript - $ is not defined

I have no idea if it's linked to the problem or not :)

 

Anyone encountering the same problem?

Could it be related to the new update?

Did they change name to this button, so JS doesn't address it anymore?

 

Thanks in advance,

Valentina

@to anyone looking for answers, I found this other thread:

https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/javascript-problem-due-to-the-update

 

As Phil Mayor Says:

The player changed in the latest update I have found a lot of code no longer works jQuery or not.

 

The staff won't support / or help us here, as stated by Katie (Gokhshteyn) Riggio in the same post.

 

I'll keep this post updated myself if I or anyone else find a solution.

 

For the moment, as Antonin Etienne suggested, downgrade to version 3.35.21017.0 of SL360. 

To do that, open the Articulate App, click the small arrow next to Storyline, then "Install other Version".
