Example files: Generating a certificate from Storyline
Hi,
Asan addition to Steve's solution I have found another one based on the screenerJustin Wilcox recorded for Quizmaker (all credits to Justin). The principle isthe same. I have tested it and it works like a charm in storyline.
Nowthe "report.html" file was modified by somebody else but if you knowhow to write/amend .html files than you can do it yourself. You need to set up instoryline to "Print Results" at the end from the Results screen, thanit will generate a "report.html" file that you can modify.
Pleasefind the steps below on how to do this:
1. Enable Manualupload from Storyline Options. (select “Enable publishing for manual upload toArticulate Online”)
2. Enable manualupload from Articulate Online/Settings/Other Settings/Enable manual uploading(follow this link: http://receptionacademy.articulate-online.com/Settings/?Cust=53896)
3. Download 7zipFile Manager (http://www.7-zip.org/) andinstall to your PC
4. DownloadNotepad++ (http://notepad-plus-plus.org/)and install to your PC
5. After the firstfour steps:
6. Add to resultpage a button with the trigger set “Print results” and style it to your liking
7. Publish thecourse to Articulate Online but with the following changes:
a. Change URL to
b. Specify preferredfolder to publish
c. Publish
d. This willcreate a folder called “ output” including “.sl1”file
8. Right click onthe published file (“.sl1” file) and extract it with 7zip File Manager. Thiswill create a folder called “” including other folders (like story_contentfolder) and other .html files
9. Go to publishedfolder and find story_content/report.html file.
10. Modify thisfile to your preference using Notepad++ (or Any other program, I am sure thereare many more) Please keep in mind that we couldn’t figure out how to changethe course name on the certificate automatically, so you will have to do thismanually every time you post.
a. To change thecourse name in the “report.html” file find this line:
varstrTitle = g_listQuizzes[g_oPrintOptions.strMainQuizId].strQuizName;
b. And change itto this:
varstrTitle = "Course Name";
c. If anybodyknows how this can be solved I would be happy to know
11. Oncereport.html file is modified highlight every file and folder in the folder, right click on it and in 7zip compress it to .zipfile
12. Once compressedchange the file extension from .zip to .sl1 and
13. Ta-Daaaaa youhave your file to manually upload to Articulate Online from ArticulateOnline/Content/Manual upload with your very own certificate.
Hope this is helpful andclear. (This is the first time I am doing this.)
