SL1: How to apply changes to triggers when you close a lightbox
Oct 07, 2014
What I try to accomplish is the following: I create a learning path with tasks (questions, exercises, movies). Each task is displayed in a pop-up (lightbox) and after performing that tasks, I want to display it's completed on the learning path slide underneath.
I created a "Mark as Complete" button on each final lightbox slide for that task. This will change the value of a variable for that tasks, for example "CompleteTopic02 = True" and close the lightbox. That works like a charm.
On the page that opens the lightbox a learning path has been displayed and upon the start of the timeline, the State of the Topic 2 icon is changed to display a checkmark.
The problem however is that when the lightbox closes, this does not trigger to restart the timeline. Therefore the states of all my icons only change when moving back and forth (prev.back button) or by using the Replay button.
Are there other options to trigger the display of the correct state after the lightbox closes?

Add a jumptotrigger after the close lightbox which will restart the slide
Hi Phil,
Thanks for your response. I add a jump to trigger after the close, but this does not help.
However, when I change the order it seems to work:
How does this work?
Odd I wonder if before it is refreshing the slide and that is then updated, not sure really
Hi Sjoerd
have you tried changing the order of the triggers? I'd try move "Jump to...." down.
The last option displays the learning path in the lightbox without closing correctly. The first option closes the lightbox, but then the path is not refreshed.
So it seems the trigger does not work in this case. I uploaded a test file. Hope you or others have a workaround.
