To print a slide of the published output of storyline

If you do both steps it works for google, firefox and explorer.

Many thanks for sharing that information, Leonora! Hopefully that will come in handy for others who come across this discussion seeking assistance. 

You are welcome.  I know how much others have helped me!

Thank you, everyone, for your suggestions.

Hi Lenora

I am stuck and am just getting the blank screen print that others got when creating a print screen button - where do you get the elements to do this method? - "... insert the printSlide.swf included in the package."

Hi Lizzie,

Did you confirm that you're testing the published output by uploading to your final intended environment such as your web server or LMS? You'll want to confirm you're testing it in the intended environment as testing it locally could cause elements to not work as expected.

Here is the website:

brilliant thanks! - i couldn't find that on their website earlier

The E-learning brothers method worked for me except all the transparency on my png images are now white??

Hi Steven,

This forum discussion is a bit older so I may suggest connecting with individuals directly using the "contact me" button on their profile to see if they had specifics of how to accomplish it with the E-Learning Brothers templates and methods. 

Hi, Jeff,

Did you buy the widget? Did it work? What is it? Thanks.

Hi Sue,

Just in case Jeff is no longer subscribed here, you can also message him directly using the "contact me" button on his profile. Hope you're able to track down the printing widget you need!

I'm not sure if something updated but in past I had trouble with the JS print command too,

While doing some more troubleshooting, I noticed

1. that when I tried to load the file to the Articulate Tempshare http://tempshare.articulate.com/  the print button worked 3-26-2017 in Google Chrome (see attachment.) and Internet Edge . It did not work in Firefox.
2. In Moodle lms, uploaded as zip file , then unzipped it, and chose  .html5 as main file it worked in Chrome , IE 11, and  Internet Edge. But when I selected ,swf or .html it didn't print in Chrome.
3. In Canvas lms , I uploaded zip file and chose .launcher but Chrome did not work and Internet Edge did work when I clicked File> Print. 

This was in Storyline 2.

Does anyone know if this still works in Storyline 360. I have done the Javascript trigger on an icon and a button, but nothing seems to happen. I have tried exporting to Web (HTML5) and CD, as well as Articulate 360, but it doesn't do anything at all. I am also having a similar issue with a Javascript trigger to send an email, nothing happens. Any ideas what might be blocking the Javascript triggers?

Hi there Katie!

Javascript isn't something our team supports, but we do have quite a few Java-savvy folks in this community who can help. If you share a sample of your file here, hopefully they can take a peek at your set-up and make recommendations!

Hello everybody, 

I'm currently working on a project where I want my learners to print what they just wrote. I use the js code : window print(); 

Results are very different : 

• When I open from my computer (locally) the file index_lms_html5.html - I can print my file
• When I open from my LMS moodle (server) the module :
  • on chrome I have a blank page
  • and on IE, I got pieces of the slide. 

Is there anybody found out how to print from their LMS platform? 

Thank  you for your time and your answers

Have a nice day!

Hi , I want to print part of slide? What should i do?

Hi Saied,

What element on the slide are you looking to print?

Any more information you can share will help the community offer additional insight, as printing just a slide or items on the slide isn't something built into Storyline. 

this code works well for me the only problem is it doesn't support transparency of .png files. 

if (document.location.href.indexOf('html5') < 0) {
GetPlayer().printSlide()
} else {
if(!window.hasPrintStyle){
window.hasPrintStyle = true;
var css = '@media print {body * {visibility: hidden;}#slidecontainer, #slidecontainer * {visibility: visible;}#slidecontainer {position: absolute;left: 0;top: 0; }#slideframe {overflow: visible;}}',
head = document.head || document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0],
style = document.createElement('style');
style.type = 'text/css';
if (style.styleSheet){
style.styleSheet.cssText = css;
} else {
style.appendChild(document.createTextNode(css));
}
head.appendChild(style);
}
var whereNow = $("#slidecontainer").offset();
$("#slidecontainer").offset({top:0,left:0});
window.open( window.print());
$("#slidecontainer").offset(whereNow);
}

Needs to be attached to a trigger button obviously.

Thanks Steven, incredibly helpful! 

Hi, I know there hasn't been an updated on this thread for a while... howeverI am trying to print the results slide or print a certificate however none of the options mentioned above are working for me. Is there any suggestions on a different javascript that might work? I am using Google Chrome, so preferably something that works for Chrome.
