Course in full screen?

I saw a number of times the question was asked whether the course can also provide in full screen mode. That was some years ago. Is it possible in the meantime in Storyline 3?

  • I did reply to Harshad privately about this and sent him a project file to work with.

  • Hi Michael.

    I know this is an old thread but thought maybe someone else might need this as well.

    First of all, thank you for the code. But one point.

    I put the code at the beginning of my timeline to go to full screen right away. But since your function is not inside a $(document).ready of jQuery, the function will be executed before even loading the jQuery library, therefore giving an error of "$ is not defined".

    Besides, as almost all your code is just pure JavaScript, there is no need to use jQuery just to select a dom object.

    So, what I did was to replace "$("#preso").get(0)" with "document.getElementById('preso')" and totally removed loading jQuery:

    if (document.getElementById('jquery') == null) {
    add_script("https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.4/jquery.min.js", "jquery");}

    Now, it works perfectly.

     

  • Michael,

    Are you able to add a custom script to the index_lms.htm launch file to get the same result? Obviously this would need to be added after each publish.

    <script> window.moveTo(0, 0); top.window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth, screen.availHeight); </script>

     

  • If you're using WordPress, you can upload and display the content in fullscreen using elearningfreak.  Here's a quick example of both Rise and Storyline content being launched the browser's full screen mode:

  • Hi Fuji, and thank you for your question! 

    I see that you asked a similar question in this discussion

    Since you are not the course author, I think that discussion would be the best place for your question to be answered, but I look forward to ideas from other community members! 

    elearningfreak dot com shared a way to launch Rise and Storyline content in fullscreen using WordPress. Take a look at their example

    To check the Storyline version for course files you have created, you can open your story.html file with Notepad; you should see the version at the beginning of the text, similar to this: 

    I hope that helps, and please let me know if you need additional assistance!

    @Andrea Koehntop - Thank you for the helpful tip. I just checked Storyline 360, and I didn't know there is a huge difference in the player setting. With Storyline 360, projects can be published without the frame, and proportionally go full screen. I've been using Storyline 3, and tried so hard to work around the setting to remove the frame.
