Getting student name from the LMS and using it in Articulate

In the LMS we are about to use, we can get the student name since the SCORM runtime variable for it is "cmi.core.student_name".  However, how do I get it as a variable in Articulate at run time?

Any chance I can call on anyone to help me identify how I get similar functionality in Litmos LMS publishing as SCORM 1.2 - beyond the learner name, I'd like to collect another profile attribute as well... I'm using:


var player = GetPlayer();

function findLMSAPI(win) {

if (win.hasOwnProperty("GetStudentID")) return win;

else if (win.parent == win) return null;

else return findLMSAPI(win.parent);

}

var lmsAPI = findLMSAPI(this);

var myName = lmsAPI.GetStudentName();

var array = myName.split(',');

var LMSName = array[1] + ' ' + array[0];

player.SetVar("name", LMSName);

 

This successfully writes the learner's first and last name to the eLearning displayed from Litmos.

What I'd like to get now is a custom field from the learner's profile in Litmos. According to our admin, this particular field is called "CustomField2".
