Hide Course Menu on first page?
Is it possible to hide the course menu (under Details) on the first "page" of a course? Our learners are getting confused on how to navigate.
thank you.
Good news, everyone! We've just released a new feature that allows you to turn off the cover page when you publish for LMS to improve compatibility, streamline training, and get learners into content faster. Give it a try, and let us know if you have any questions about it!
Note: You can't hide the cover page for training created from Next Big Idea Club content templates.
I found a work around to hide the TOC from the start screen by digging into the JS and CSS files created by the Rise export.
When exporting a course for SCORM 1.2 you will get a zip file to import into the LMS. Open this file within the zip:
scormcontent\lib\main.bundle.css
At the very bottom, add this line:
.overview-list { display: none; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 1; }
Zip it back up and install on the LMS.
Good day. This worked, however do you know if it is possible to adjust the code further to remove the whole page altogether, just going right to the first page of the course? Thanks!
Hey Jeff, to bypass the bootup page and go directly to any page in your course, do the following:
- Unzip your extracted files into a new folder
- Open scormcontent/index.html in a browser
- The end of the url will probably look like index.html#/
- Click on "Start Course" (or any of the lessons)
- Notice that the url has changed and has more stuff after index.html#/
- Copy that text (i.e., index.html#/lessons/ABC123)
- Open scormcontent/index.html in Notepad or some other text editor
- At the very bottom (before </body>), add this code and replace my example with your stuff.
<script>
function skip_first_page() {
window.location.href = "#/lessons/ABC123";
}
setTimeout("skip_first_page()", 100);
</script>Thanks a lot for all of the details Jay, I will give it a try. Thanks.
Hey Jay, any code that can remove certain lessons from the TOC? I wanted to remove the Quiz block lessons from the TOC so that learners don't jump to any quiz directly.
Worked like a dream, thank you for sharing this javascript ;)
