SetStatus not working for SCORM 1.2 completion - Storyline 360 HTML5 Output

Hi Samantha,

Thanks so much for sharing your solution!

I tried it out, and it wasn't working for me initially in Storyline 360. However, it got me to dig a little deeper and it seems to be working well using the lmsAPI methods instead of the Storyline player.

Here's the version that worked for me with an optional line for tracking score:

//Get LMS API
function findLMSAPI(win) {
if (win.hasOwnProperty("GetStudentID")) return win;
else if (win.parent == win) return null;
else return findLMSAPI(win.parent);
}

var lmsAPI = findLMSAPI(this);

//Set Completed status
lmsAPI.SetReachedEnd();
//Set Passed status
lmsAPI.SetPassed();
//Set percentile score based on score variable between 0 - 100
lmsAPI.SetScore(score, 100, 0); 

Credit for grabbing the right window with the lmsAPI goes to Adam Trosper's posts on this thread.

So far this seems to be working for me in Storyline 360 in both Flash and HTML5 outputs.

Thanks,
Matt

Leslie,

Thank you very much for your quick reply.  Please give me an update when it's available.

This is also an issue for us as, like everyone else, we are migrating our courses to HTML5.  We are using SL3 not 360.  Again, the issue is not with the java script per se, but with the javascript under HTML5.  To test this, you need to generate the module in HTML mode only, no flash fall back, and then test it in a browser with flash disabled.  

I've attached a test module  that uses various attempts at setting the module to complete : 

• lmsAPI.SCORM_SetCompleted();
• SetStatus("completed");
• lmsAPI.SCORM_SetPassed();
• lmsAPI.SetReachedEnd();

And I have also used both methods for connecting the LMS : 

• var lmsAPI = parent 
• var lmsApi=[object Window]

None of these options work under HTML5.

Articulate, this is a real issue as almost all of our modules use this way of determining completion since counting slides is too simplistic, and not all modules have quizzes.  

This has been talked about in the forum for several years now.  It's pretty inexcusable that there is not a solution.  

Hi Matt,

Thanks for reaching out here!  It's been logged as a possible software bug. 

From here, I’ll meet with my team to take a closer look so we can determine next steps.

I’ll let you know as soon as we have an update on this issue. Thanks so much again for letting us know about this, and I’m sorry if it’s slowing you down.

Hi Ashley,

It took me a while to find this post, I was trying to figure out why SetStatus was not working for me.  

Is there an update on this issue?  

Thanks

Hello Gilbert and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)

Sorry to hear that you ran into this issue as well, but glad you found this thread.

I do not have an update to share at this time, but it certainly is on our internal radar as Ashley shared above.

This thread is flagged for update as well.

Hi Ashley and Leslie,

Has any progress been made on this? I emailed back and forth with one of your engineers in April and have not heard anything since.

This was a very useful feature in the older versions of Storyline, and it's quite a pain to work around this for every one of our Storyline 360 courses.

Please fix ASAP.

Hi Matt - Thanks for popping in to follow up. I see you reached out in your case as well.

As Miker mentioned, this is on our radar and I know it has been the discussion internally as well. That being said, I have nothing to share at this time, but hopefully soon.

Hello Matt,

See if this works for you. I tested this in the Scorm Cloud. I tried both Html5 only output and Flash only output.

Hello,

Has there been an update on this? I tried what Russell posted above (as well as the SetStatus("completed") which I've always used in the past) and it didn't mark as complete on Articulate Online. 

Thanks!
