How to access xAPI/Tin Can LMS variables in JavaScript

Here is Retrieve the username From storyline code.

function getParameterByName(name, url) {

if (!url) url = window.location.href;

name = name.replace(/[\[\]]/g, "\\$&");

var regex = new RegExp("[?&]" + name + "(=([^&#]*)|&|#|$)"),

results = regex.exec(url);

if (!results) return null;

if (!results[2]) return '';

return decodeURIComponent(results[2].replace(/\+/g, " "));

}

var a =[];var a1 = [];

var foo = getParameterByName('actor');

a = foo.split(",");

var x=a[0];

a1 = x.split(":");

var str = a1[1];

var UName = str.replace(/[^a-zA-Z ]/g, "");

var player = GetPlayer();

player.SetVar("UserName",UName);

Thanks for the info! I actually figured out that I could get the actor info from the querystring and parsed it all together, however, I'd still like to be able to interact with the LMS variables not available in the querystring, such as the completion status and score. Is there no way to do this in Storyline 360 if you're using Tin Can?

 yeah, I know the Tincan xAPI.

You can see my example tincan xAPI tracking the eLearning course link: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/tincan-xapi-in-the-elearning-project

This ended up working for me (this is the "passed" version... I also have a failed version):

var player = GetPlayer();
var iascore = { raw: player.GetVar("FinalPercent"),min:0,max:100 };
var iatc = new TinCan({url: window.location.href});
var stmt = { verb: "passed", inProgress: false, result: { } };
stmt.result.success = true;
stmt.result.score = iascore;
iatc.sendStatement(stmt);

I used a custom variable in Storyline called "FinalPercent" to obtain the Results.ScorePercent and report it back to the LMS.

You can use this code for failed version.

var player = GetPlayer();
var iascore = { raw: player.GetVar("FinalPercent"),min:0,max:100 };
var iatc = new TinCan({url: window.location.href});
var stmt = { verb: "failed", inProgress: false, result: { } };
stmt.result.success = false;
stmt.result.score = iascore;
iatc.sendStatement(stmt);

WOW!  Thanks so much for the code on how to retrieve the username - worked a treat for me! 

Thanks for sharing!

Can you guys please tell me where you're entering your code?  What file(s)?  I followed the instructions from this example which required updating the Story_html5.html file with the insertion of some test js files that were also provided in the instructions, but would like to know how to execute without the override.  I'm also looking for guidance on the Javascript statement in Storyline to include multiple variables/statements as the above example only included one Verb.  I'm new to xAPI as well as JavaScript, so any assistance is greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance!!

Hi, can anyone help me? Nandhakumar S code doesn't work quite right.

The Tin Can code works on Scorm Cloud but not on our custom system. We get mailto

Is there any workaround?

This might be occuring because of mbox.

function getParameterByName(name, url)
{
if (!url) url = window.location.href;
name = name.replace(/[\[\]]/g, "\\$&");
var regex = new RegExp("[?&]" + name + "(=([^&#]*)|&|#|$)"),
results = regex.exec(url);
if (!results) return null;
if (!results[2]) return '';
return decodeURIComponent(results[2].replace(/\+/g, " "));
}
var a =[];var a1 = [];
var foo = getParameterByName('actor');
a = foo.split(",");
var x=a[0];
a1 = x.split(":");
var str = a1[1];

var UName = str.replace(/[^a-zA-Z ]/g, "");

var player = GetPlayer();
player.SetVar("Username",UName);

Appreciated!

How can this be so hard? 

I have been trying to extract the user's name from the LMS (Docebo). But when it's published to xAPI I can't get it to work.

I tried the code in this thread, and other code, and I always get the console message: "actionator::exeJavaScript - this.execUserJs is not a function"

Scott and Nandhakumar, are you able to retrieve the name when published to xAPI?
