print certificate

Hi Francis,

And welcome to the elearning Heroes.

You're not missing anything. It'll always print the player frame as well.

You can take out all objects from it, next previous buttons, menu...

All except the little speaker icon. The latter is a known issue and has lready been reported as abug.

Cheers

hi francis,

may i ask how you managed to get the student name and score on the slide, i am trying to do the same for a course.

thx.

In Storyline I created a variable using the trigger wizard. So on slide one I created a text box asking the user to fill in their name. Then click on the X at the bottom right corner of the triggr pane and this will open the variable pane. Create your variable here which will be a text variable and then give it a descriptive name. Now that you have created the variable it will be available for use in a trigger at any point you decide to call on it.

Later on I created a certificate slide which was just an image I pulled off the web (royalty free) and then on that slide just called the variable %name%

I then created a series of quiz slides in Storyline. There is a results slide which provides information such as the students score and then what was required to pass. Those are variables as well

%Results.ScorePercent%%

(%Results.ScorePoints% points)

I place those variables on that slide and then when Storyline runs yu wil see the name and scores.

When you test this in preview mode, the name will show up but not the score. Both will show up when you publish.

Hope that helps!

I'm amazed that the basic function of having the user print their certificate is not supported natively. 

I have figured out how to call the user's name variable but, for the life of me can't figure out how to (guess at) get the custom variable of user ID that I have them input in the course. Let's say my variable after they input it is called "varCustID". I know the variable works because I have it display on the RESULTS slide. My problem is calling it by the report.html page so, I can customize the page for print. I use JS to print the page. Is there any documentation that actually spells this out?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you guys please tell us the JScript for printing the certificate....

My custom "report.html" page has a script block. In there I call the passed variables from the passed quiz. Here is an example of how that looks:

var vName=player.GetVar("TextEntry4"); //Student Name

The "TextEntry4" corresponds back to the text box in my Storyline project.

add this to your lms.js file at the end.

function FindStudentName() {
       return lmsAPI.GetStudentName()
}

I am using Presenter 09. Created the modified report file to add quiz image for certificate. Published the presentation for CD and/ Web use.  After compleing the course, take the quiz, when click on the Print results, the quiz image shows but the script for line 9 (This award certifies, name, for successfully completing this course, awarded on this date) in the modified report.html file does not show nor print.Only the quiz image for the certificate shows.

What can be done to correct this?

Thanks for asistance.

Hi Barbara - Can you post your modified report file? It's possible something in the html got edited by mistake. Happy to take a look at it for you.

Hi David/Anyone else who can help

I am having the same problem as Barbara - I have published for CD and edited my report.html file (attached) and when I go to view the certificate, only the images are displaying. However when manually uploading to Articulate Online, the certificate appears as it should (custom images AND text), so not sure why it isn't working for the CD published version...

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Hayley
