Example files: Generating a certificate from Storyline
This example demonstrates how you can take user input and generate a certificate for printing. Any Storyline variable or score can be used to generate the output. The file and file add-ins are both simple and straight forward. This will only work in the Flash based output. This will not work in the iOS output or HTML5.
To replicate this on your end:
1) Modify the story file to your liking.
2) Extract the add-in zip file above (certificate.html and certificateBG.gif)
3) Copy these two files into your published output directory. You'll need to do this each time you publish.
This is a really basic example. You really can do quite a bit with this including adding a print button, extra fields, collecting values from the LMS like the user's first and last name.
** I noticed a bug when playing with this file setup. I initially thought I would be able to include the certificate files as resources to avoid copy / paste surgery after publish. Unfortunately, Storyline mangled the HTML file on publish. Will be submitting this as a bug.
Please walk me through step by step to attach a certificate of completion (producing storyline in HTML output)
Thanks
If I can have some sort of protocol and know exactly of what to do I would be greatful!
Thanks for getting back to me.
Hi, Marie -
I'm about out of time tonight but should be able to put something together tomorrow.

If you could give me exact details of how to publish a certificat of completion:
1. Using articulate stuido 09 - output flash
2. Using story line - HTML
Thanks so much!
I think the steps for doing this in storyline are already documented in this post.
Everyone should review this thread.
This all looks waaaayy too complicated for me!! Is there not a way to include an informal certificate of completion where the user can input their name at the beginning of the course, then this would be picked up by the certificate as well as the test score, date and name of the course??? Is there a simple way to do this?? And could this be added to Storyline as a standard feature?!
- Will you be using this with a LMS?

Hi Gerry
No - we want to have 'informal' learning on our L&D portal that allows users to test themselves (and capture that via a printable certificate) but without them having to log into the LMS (which they can't do if they are accessing from home). We are trying to encourage participation and the LMS is a big headache so attempting to put as much as we can on the web.
Thanks
Cheryl
Sorry - ignore my post, I missed a page of the thread that covered this! Will have another go.
