Retrieve name variable from Cornerstone and display it in a Storyline course

This is a correct code:

var player = GetPlayer();
var lmsAPI = parent;

var myName = lmsAPI.SCORM_GetStudentName();
var array = myName.split(',');
var newName = array[1] + ' ' + array[0];
player.SetVar("newName", newName);

Thanks Kamil but it still isn't retrieving the information.

Hi, Nick -- You may already be aware of this, but I just wanted to chime in and mention that although we don't provide support for JavaScript coding, it may be helpful to take a look at this document on JavaScript Best Practices. Hopefully, some of our JS experts in the community can share their suggestions! 

Nick, please check if something is getting from your LMS using function alert:

var player = GetPlayer();
var lmsAPI = parent;
var myName = lmsAPI.SCORM_GetStudentName();
alert("my name "+myName);

Now you're able to see if LMS let you get something. And please check your course using other LMS f.e. cloud.scorm. 

Kamil, thanks for that.  The alert is showing the name.  I'll have another go at getting the data to pass into a Storyline variable.  

(P.S. part of the issue is that Cornerstone takes AGES to update the publication...hence the slow reply!)

Hi, Nick -- thanks for the update, and for keeping us posted! :)

Hi Nick. 

I know this is old but did you get it to work with Cornerstone?

Hey Steve,

This is a bit dated and hopefully Nick is still subscribed. You are certainly welcome to reach out to the user directly via the 'Contact Me' option on the user profile if you do not hear back soon.

Do you have a way of pulling the Course Title from the LMS to display on screen?
