Example files: Generating a certificate from Storyline

Way late to the party...but how do I set the font size for inputing the learner name into the certificate. I've got my own certificate generated, but I can't figure out how to control the font size.

I used a style guide in the html. Something like this....
< style type="text/css"> 

h2 { font-family:"Segoe Script"; font-size:20px; color:#333333}

Then you can use h2 as an html tag before the learner name. Like this:

< h2>'+LearnerName+'</h2>

Thanks to everyone in this thread for the collaboration. I was able to implement this method and it works wonderfully - in Firefox and Chrome. But in IE, the "Print Certificate" button I added to my results slide is unresponsive. Nothing happens when it's clicked. In Chrome and FF, clicking it launches a new broswer window with the certificate.

Since the training is playing in Moodle as a flash module, there's no browser error to help me troubleshoot the problem. Has anyone else had problems with this method working in IE? Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

Hi,

I followed the steps in the post, but when the certificate is supposed to pull up, I get an error. My module eventually is zipped and uploaded into an LMS where it is hosted. Will the steps in the post still work for that? Also, is the "published output directory" different from the output folder that is created when I publish my articulate module? 

Thank you,

Tria

Hi Tria,

The zipped module uploaded to your LMS shouldn't be the cause of any problems. That's how I have mine working as well (using Moodle) and it works just fine. 

Not sure how others have done this, but I simply uploaded the 2 files (the .html and the certificate image) into a folder inside the same host where my Moodle installation lives. For example, my files live at http://www.mydomainname.com/certificate/certificate.html and http://www.mydomainname.com/certificate/certificate.jpg. /certificate is my "published output directory". 

So here's how my javascript reads:

var newWin=window.open("http://www.mydomainname.com/certificate/certificate.html", "http://www.mydomainname.com/certificate/certificate.jpg","status=0,scrollbars=0,width=950,height=605");

Hope this helps!

I have any required images or other inputs hosted on a SharePoint. The course itself is zipped and hosted in our LMS (Saba). The codes use a full path for the images and other inputs and this works just fine. 

Hello,

I need to be able to do this on CD. How can I set it up since everything seems to be for the LMS.

Thank you,

Melissa

I haven't tested it, but I would assume relative links should work just as well. 

They don't. When you publish to CD using Steve's it does not pull any of the information into it. I have attached my file.

I'm no expert on javascript, but you might need to investigate if there is a way to first, identify the users CD drive letter and then second, use this information to construct a hard link to the file on the disc.

Another potential use of javascript would be to assume the drive will be one of several drives (i.e. D:, E:, F:, G and then check each for your file path, ignoring any that are not a match or that return a null result. Once you have a match, you have the path to use to the graphics for your certificate.

Steve is great at javascript challenges like this; you might consider sending him a direct message.
