I just learnt that you can link to a specific page in a Presenter course by using ?page=4 to go directly to page 4. That does not seem to work for a Storyline course. Does anyone know if it is possible to jump directly ta a page in Storylne?
Sorry. I was unclear. I mean jump to a specific page from outside the course. Let us say I want the learner to go page 3 directly by clicking an an external url, can that be done?
There is no built in function to do this. I think you could probably pass a variable from the url using javascript and then set up your course to jump to a slide based on this variable.
You would then need to set up your file with triggers on timeline start to jump to a specific slide based on this value. it would be easier to do this on slide 1 and ensure that the course is not set to resume.
It is possible, this is one of those things I plan to play with shen I get some free time

Hi Gustaf you have to use the trigger Jump to slide (The specific slide) you want to link with.
If you are looking for something else please do let me know
Hi Rehan.

Thanx Phil.
Sounds complicated. I am not too familiar with JavaScripts. How can I embed that in the url itself? Or where should the script be executed?
Well in the course I guess I could just jump to a certain page if I had a given variable value from the link itself.
And this does not need to be dynamic in any way. I could hard code it if possible.
Any more clues Phil how to proceed?
Hi Gustaf
I don't have an example for this, or I would have posted it. I am more in the realms of possibility. This may help you http://community.articulate.com/forums/t/33663.aspx

Hi Phil, any chance you've tried or seen this work with Storyline yet?
