Getting student name from the LMS and using it in Articulate

Hey Matthew,

You are my HERO! I can't thank you enough. 

Would you know why the print function is not working? When I try to print the certificate I receive the error message "There was an internal error, and IE is unable to print this document"

Hi Matthew,

Can you let me know how to add the trigger to have the certificate run when time timeline starts.  I would like the certificate to add the first and last

Thanks for sharing with everyone Aaron.

Welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)

Thanks for sharing this, it was really helpful thread!

I got an issue when applying this on IE11, it seems to be only working if the publishing was flash with HTML, yet it's not working in the HTML5 format?

Hi Azza, 

Are you having an issue with the code that Aaron shared? 

It looks like he used it with HTML5, but perhaps it's the difference in browser or LMS. You could also look at testing it in SCORM Cloud to further narrow down where the issue could be. 

Lastly, when you're launching it in IE - do you see an error message or a different behavior than expected? If you can share a bit more detail that may be just the hint the community needs to help with this custom code. 

Thanks, Claudius for letting us know that this same code works in your LMS. I'm certain that tidbit will be welcomed by other SABA users. 

I tried this in CSOD with Storyline 360 but it didn't work. Do you have a working sample that I could use to troubleshoot the functionality?

Thanks!!!

Hey Thomas,

Hopefully, the users you are reaching out to for examples are still subscribed here. If you do not hear back soon, you can reach out to Matthew and Aaron directly.

I've been trying to use this code on SCORM Cloud but it isn't working for me:

var player = GetPlayer();

function findLMSAPI(win) { 
// look in this window 
if (win.hasOwnProperty("GetStudentID")) return win;

// all done if no parent 
else if (win.parent == win) return null;

// climb up to parent window & look there 
else return findLMSAPI(win.parent); 
} 
var lmsAPI = findLMSAPI(this); 
var myName = lmsAPI.GetStudentName(); 
var array = myName.split(','); 
var newName = array[1] + ' ' + array[0]; 
player.SetVar("newName", newName);

Is it because SCORM cloud stores the name under a variable name other than StudentID? 

Has anyone managed to get this to retrieve the learner ID from SCORM cloud?
