Prev and Next button appear after revisit the quiz.

Hi Yang,

I'd also agree that you'd want to update to the newest version update 5 as Jacob mentioned there have been a number of fixes which are detailed here in the release notes.

Also, the previous/next buttons will reappear on a quiz review (using the review button from the results slide) as the user would need  a way to continue navigating throughout the course and Storyline may not know that you set up your own custom buttons. If you'd like to have an option to disable the Prev and Next buttons during quiz review so you can use your own custom navigation buttons, please let us know. We value your feedback.

Thanks Jacob and Ashley. I will try to upgrade the software.

In my case, the buttons reappear when I reset the quiz, not review. Would this be part of the design as well?

Thanks for your suggestion and I 'will submit a feature request.

Oops, sorry, I mean "resit the quiz".

Hi Yang,

Are you revisiting the quiz after you've already answered the question? If so, then it sounds like the same behavior as Storyline currently doesn't know that you inserted your own custom buttons but is recognizing that the user needs some way to navigate away from that slide. 

I don't understand the reasoning behind forcing the default navigation buttons to appear because "Storyline may not know that you set up your own custom buttons." Then why does the feature to turn off the default navigation exist? Wouldn't any page potentially be without navigation if that's the reasoning you're using?

Hi Damon! This is directly related to quiz review mode it appears. Are you having difficulty with something that we could assist with?

Welcome to E-Learning Heroes btw :)

Another person on my team (Dane Boyington) has commented elsewhere on issues we have using custom navigation. It's just very frustrating how much relies on automated features that can't be accessed or replicated through custom navigation. To have the default navigation appear when the developer has expressly disabled that feature could compromise an entire course. The default navigation won't have any custom triggers applied to them that the developer may require. In our work, we use an "IsQuestionActive" variable to determine whether the user has interacted with a quiz in a particular way. We disable default navigation to ensure that this variable has integrity. If Storyline's default navigation can appear in certain situations, then the user could bypass the custom navigation we've setup with its attached triggers. This would make our "IsQuestionActive" untrustworthy, and could cause the user to get trapped on a page (which is ironically the situation you claim this behavior seeks to avoid).

Hi Damon! I do not see any recent threads by a user with that name, so I was unable to dig a bit deeper into what may be going on with your team, but if you were to disable the Quiz Review, that would eliminate the issue discussed on this thread. You may also want to take a glance at this tutorial and see if states may better fit your needs.

Hi, 

This issue still persists with update 7. My setup is similar to Damons and Yangs: I want learners to be able to revisit quiz and survey slides without resubmitting them. The default buttons still reappear in html5. Any progress on this?

Thanks, Ayoub

Hi, Ayoub -- Sorry for your troubles! As this thread is older and some may no longer be subscribed, if there were any participants you wanted to reach out to directly, you are welcome to use the 'Contact Me' link on their individual profile pages. 

Otherwise, if you'd like us to take a look at your file, you are free to upload here and we'll be glad to run some testing!

I've been having this issue for some time (SL7 too like yourself)  and decided to take a brute force approach which seems to be working well so far.

Rather than having to modify the generated HTML output each time (yuck! Who wants to do that?) I add code in the Master slide:

In the Master slide, I add a trigger to Execute Javascript and add the following code:

// since the Quiz in review mode shows the default SL Prev/Next buttons (SL2 Update 7) we force them to hide
var currentStyle = document.getElementsByTagName('style')[0].innerHTML;
//only modify the style tag the FIRST time
if(currentStyle.indexOf("controls") === -1){
   document.getElementsByTagName('style')[0].innerHTML = currentStyle + "#controls{ display:none !important;}";
}

All it does is modify the <style> tag in the HTML5 output, and adds styling for the #controls <div> that houses the pesky Storyline default navigation and sets it to hide. I also add a check to only add this style once rather than potentially many times on a new page visit which could lead to trouble.

Hope it helps.

Cheers

Thanks for stopping in to share what's been working for you, Paul! I'm sure it will be helpful for others who come across this post in the future. :)

Dear Paul Douglas, 

Thank you for providing great solution to hide controls in review mode. If possible can you please let us know how show the controls once we exit from review mode.

Look forward for your great solution.

Regards, S

Hi, Sudhakar -- Thanks for reaching out, and in the event that you would not hear back from Paul, I just wanted to note that you are welcome to reach out to him directly by way of the 'Contact Me' link on his profile page. :)

Hi Sudhakar,

I've not been using the built-in navigation buttons at all. They are turned off across the entire course (but annoyingly appear in Review mode anyway - hence my hacky code).

If you're using the built-in navigation for your course, do you even need to hide these buttons in review mode? I thought by default they are still usually needed even in Review mode so the user can navigate forward/backward through the quiz to review each of their answers?

If not, feel free to send me some more details and I'll see if I can assist.

Cheers

Paul,

Can you check out my storyline file and let me know what I'm doing wrong? I have your code set to execute when the timeline starts on the quiz slides, but I'm still getting the prev and next buttons when reviewing those slides. 

Thanks!

Dear Paul,

We are using navigation for entire course except Quiz pool which is having 10 random questions out of 50 with custom submit button. The quiz pool is having question number and it is working properly when we are in review mode. So I decided to add custom next and prev button by using your code. By using your code, question number issue is fixed but bottom navigation button are not appearing after result page. 

Hope this information will help you to understand our concern.

Regards, S

Hi Andrew, 

Sorry for downloading. And the good news is, your file is working like a charm. You just need to open HTML-5 file while testing in offline environment.

Regards, S

Sudhakar,

No problem at all! Thanks for looking. I'm having trouble seeing the change. In Chrome, everything seems to disappear and not function. If I test in IE, I get everything on screen but the prev next buttons still show up. When I test in our LMS SuccessFactors, I still get the prev/next buttons too. I am at work and am wondering if IT has somehow disabled any javascript from executing.

Hey again Sudhukar,

Any chance you could include a cut-down version of your file and I can take a look?

Hi Andrew,

The hack I described above is designed only to affect the HTML5 output (story_html5.html) as that ALWAYS shows the built-in PREV/NEXT buttons when reviewing a quiz.

I see that even in your flash version (story.html) if I answer the "Pick One" question, get to the Results slide and then return to the "Pick One" the default buttons return. I do not have this issue in any of my courses and I think it's because I don't EVER use ANY of the built-in Storyline controls on ANY slide as they seem to cause more issues than be of any help.

In your course you use the seekbar and as mentioned here:

https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/do-not-want-default-navigation-button-when-revisiting

Ashley Terwilliger says:
Correct - the previous and next buttons are included by default in a quiz review.
If you don't want them to appear at all, you'd need to remove the other player elements such as the volume control and seekbar, as those are in the same line as where the previous/next buttons would appear

In your course "Story View" I selected all slides and ensure all Slide Navigation and Player Features were turned off, republished and the flash version seemed fine. I think then if you add my code in the Top Master Slide it will also prevent the HTML5 only bug where those prev/next buttons would still appear anyway.

So unless you can also remove all built-in nav elements on your course then I'm not sure this situation can be avoided?

Let me know how you go!

Thanks Paul for including that workaround here - I have noticed that it's only worked for some users - so it's a bit sporadic, but again as we'd expect since the default behavior is to always have the prev/next buttons appear on a revisit to a quiz slide since the user will need a way to submit them. 

Dear Paul,

Please find the attached storyline project will have quiz pool with 10 question randomization. Question number is not working properly when we are review mode.

Hope this will give an idea what issue we are facing.  

Regards, S

Yeah, I have to keep that seekbar. That's where I'm running into the issue. I'm confused though. If you don't ever use the default player controls, what's the code for? I thought if you don't use the default controls, then the issue won't affect you? 

Or are you saying the issue does still affect the HTML5 version, even if you don't use the default player controls? 

Also, if you look at Sudhukar's comment on my project above, he says that the code is working for him when he reviews my quiz slides. Very odd. Haha. I'm going to submit another feature request. It seems like this has been requested several times already. I don't know why it's so difficult to turn off a default option that nobody wants.
