Print Slide Widget

Hi Joe, 

Thanks for reaching out here - and I haven't heard if it works or not, but I know there are a few folks in the forums who utilize their stuff so hopefully they'll be able to pop in here. 

Hi Joe,

I am wondering if you had a chance to figure out if the widget was compatible with SL2? I have contacted the developer of the widget but have not heard from them so far. Would be most grateful for the answer. 

Hi Joe,

I have used it in a Storyline 2 project recently, so unless they have changed it I can confirm it works.

Thanks

Jake

The widget is now available for free from Elearning Brothers:

Thank you, Jake! FYI, I had another feedback from the community and they referred me to the E-learning Brothers that recently made this function available for free. 

Hi Tamara,

It is actually the same widget, elearningenhanced became part of elearning brothers.

So they will both do the same thing.

Thanks

Jake

Thank you so much, Steve! I am checking it now. It is awesome!

Is anyone still using this widget? i just found it at the beginning of this month and added it to 2 courses, but users are having problems printing from Mac OS (with both Chrome & Safari, at least). i'm using SL2 with AO.

i'm assuming it has something to do with the latest version of OS and the javascript code. i'm a novice with javascript though, and i can't seem to figure out if there is a fix. thanks.

Hi Theresa, 

I don't know if other users are still subscribed to this forum discussion, so you may want to message them directly to see if they're able to offer any ideas and solutions here as the Javascript and the printing ability are outside my area of expertise. 

Hi Theresa,

I mailed you back, but as an extra thought, it could be because Chrome is starting to remove flash support. Are users on windows running Chrome having the same problem or is it restricted to Mac? I know Apple products are trying to get rid of flash too.

It could also be that the javascript is specific to windows platforms. If you could test on many combinations of OS and Browser it could help narrow things down.

Chrome is working fine with the widget for us so far. Must be the issue with Macs

Thanks Jake & Tamara for that info. I really appreciate it!

Still testing to try to see where the problem is.

Theresa,

Are you publishing with HTML5 output? This is another area I would look into. We dont include HTML5 but I recall it causing some compatibility issues with our courses. Not sure that it was the widget thought. But something for you to explore. Good luck with your project.

HTML5 output shouldn't affect the widget as long as the flash part is run, but if the course is run as an HTML5 course it won't work because the widget is flash based.
