Hi Mike,

I apologize for not seeing this message when I was scanning this thread earlier, but I did want to pass this along.  One tool that I find to be invaluable is the ADL Test Suite.  You can use the ADL Test Suite to perform a local SCO test.  The Test Suite will mimic a SCORM compliant LMS and you can modify settings such as the user-name, etc prior to launching the SCO.  Just make sure you point to the index_lms file before launching the test.

It's usually the first tool I reach for when I need to test or verify SCORM functionality/interactions regardless of the development tool that was used to create the courses.

Hello,

Forgive me if I am repeating a problem, but could someone check my javascripts below? This is on a slide trigger in Storyline Articulate to execute when the timeline starts.

var currentTime = new Date();
var month = currentTime.getMonth() + 1;
var day = currentTime.getDate();
var year = currentTime.getFullYear();
var dateString=day + "/" + month + "/" + year;
var player = GetPlayer();
player.SetVar("SystemDate",dateString);

I have a print button on my certificate with this trigger-execute javascript when user clicks button

"window.print()"

within the certificate I have name variable which works

%FirstName% %LastName%

and date variable which works

%SystemDate%

The certificate looks fine, the autofills work - it will just NOT PRINT from my print button in the LMS or elsewhere. 

Is there a quick fix I am missing???

Have solved the print problem,  was an error with notation.

Hi Felicity! Glad to hear that you figured it out, thanks for updating us!

Did you find a way of doing this Steve?

Hi Steve,

I would also appreciate your input here. Printing a webpage is just not good enough.

Many thanks,

Fred

I also would like some help with getting the certificate to work in LMS without server option. Any help appreciated.

I gave a couple of frameworks as well as a PDF native method a spin. One of them didn't work consistently between browsers despite the documentation indicating support. The other worked but I didn't have time to dig into it. I don't recommend the JavaScript frameworks due to the complexity. The PDF method is great but there's a drawback that requires user intervention to turn off the built-in Chrome PDF viewer if it's installed and the user is opening the presentation in Chrome.

The one that didn't work in the latest version on their demo site.

The one that worked.

Both of these would require some javascript-fu to make the printable certificate.And I suspect there will be situations where it might not work since browsers all play by their own rules.

The other thing I was looking at was populating a pre-built PDF with fields / variables or fed via a querystring. This works well when it works and lets you be as decorative as you want to be with the certificate.

This works great. Except you need to disable the PDF viewer in Chrome to make it work in chrome://plugins/

Of all of these, I think the simplest and best option is the last option: Using a PDF with dynamic fields updated via querystring.
