Terms & Conditions Slide - Player Help

Jul 10, 2017

Hey everyone I am having a hard time with this. All eCourses at my company start with the Terms & Conditions slide (see inserted image below). For this particular course, I've updated the player so there is a Menu & Exit tab at the top right of the player. I really like having these at the top and it works well with the course. Everything is fine - except I can't have the Menu tab appear on my Terms & Conditions slide. The Terms & Conditions is set up so if you click Yes, you are allowed to continue into the course. If you click No, the course closes. With the Menu tab at the top, the learner can bypass the Yes/No interaction and go straight to the Menu & entire course. Arggh. Any ideas for how to get this off my first slide????

I recently watched a video on here about hacking the player with javascript. I would expect you could use javascript to disable the buttons for just this slide.

This is Storyline yes? You can deselect menu in the slide properties - unless I misunderstand what you mean

No... that menu is deselected. This a custom that I've added.

This seems like a really obvious thing. I'm surprised it's not an easy fix.

Oh by the way- my custom menu at the top goes to a slide with a tabs menu- not the thing with menu on the side of the player.

Ah sorry Kristen.

Try contacting Owen Holt - he's super good with javascript and making tweaks to the default player he may be able to help you with your custom menu.

All the best.

Maybe if you share a couple of slides of the .story file so folks can take a look at how it's set up they may be able to offer a solution.

Which version of SL are you using?
I assume you created the custom menu tab in the player properties window, is that correct?

If so, and if you are using SL3 or SL360:

Create an action on slide 1 to execute JavaScript when timeline starts and add the following line of JavaScript
$("#tab-customlink").hide();
On the first slide where you want the menu to appear, add an action to execute JavaScript when timeline starts but use this code instead
$("#tab-customlink").show();

Let me know if that works for you.
