Pulling first name from LMS
Hi all - I'm wondering if anyone might be able to put together a step-by-step guide as to how to set up a variable / javascript function for this? (i.e. pulling a user's first name from the LMS).
I've read through this discussion (https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/retrieve-lms-user-name-as-variable) but I'm very green and have had no experience with javascript functions (and only basic variables).
Any help for dummies would be amazing.
Thanks,
Sal

Hi Mathew,
Thanks for your input!!
I'm just curious, is it necessary now to declare lmsAPI?
- LucioCommunity Member
I guess it can't hurt to declare it as "parent" though I haven't been using that line in my cw with SL2, SCORM 1.2. I guess I'll integrate it in my process.
Thank you for the reply Mathew!!

Hi all - further to this, am I able to pull the following from the LMS?
- first initial of first name
- email address
Thanks in advance!

Mathew,
Wouldn't firstName.charAt(0) work better in this case?

I am having some problems with this. If I use the technique to pull usernames etc, it only works if I publish as flash/html5 fallback. If I publish in Storyline 3 as html5 only....it does not work.
Any suggestions?
- LeslieFosterCommunity Member
Thanks for the offer. File contains 3 slides, each trying to extract the username or email. Works fine in flash, but not html5.
I use moodle as an lms.

Hi Matthew,
Probably a dumb question, but I have various screens which need various combos of first/last/email/first initial etc. Can I set the screens up with the necessary references, then add this full code to 1 trigger on each screen (regardless of whether I need to call all references?)
Will this break the page as it might be calling for references that aren't on this screen? Just trying to see if I can stream line..
Thanks for your continued help with this,
Sal
(FYI I'm building an induction module which needs to display usernames, Outlook logins, etc so this is really useful).
