Hiding the front page menu in Rise

Hi here are the steps that i took to turn off the navigation on the first page but keep it in the side Menu.

Please note that at the point of writing this, this works with Rise, but this could become obsolete in future updates from the articulate team.

So to begin with you will be adding this functionality once you have exported your Rise course and have downloaded to your computer, this will either be as a scorm package or as a standalone package to play on your computer locally.

Once you have the downloaded package you need to unzip the file and locate the following path within, dependant on what package you have downloaded,

scorm package path = (name of your file)/scormcontent/lib,

Local package = (name of your file)/lib,

Download the file that I have attached and place in this location.

Next, you need to modify the index.html file it can be found in either of these locations

Scorm package path = /(name of your file)/scormcontent

Local package = /(name of your file)

Once you have found it open the file using a text editing piece of software such as notepad or text wrangler or Dreamweaver if you have it.

Inside the code for the html, you need to paste the following

<!--custom css-->
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="lib/custom.css">

Paste it just after </script> around line 18 and click save

If you are running this file locally and not as a scorm package that's all the steps you can now open index.html and should see the changes.

If you are modifying a scorm package jump back to the previous directory

Scorm package path = /(name of your file)

And in a text editor open imsmanifest.xml

Look for the section that says <!-- RUNTIME COMMON STUFF -->

And add the following after the last entry <file href="scormcontent/lib/custom.css"/> and click save.

Now select all items in this directory and zip them back up and move to a new location. and test on your LMS

And that's it I will stress that if you alter the CSS too much you can break the functionality with Rise in my testing this has not done so with this custom script probably because all we are doing is implementing the same function as what turning the menu of in Rise does
