lmsAPI Functionality in HTML5 Output

Hi guys... I am trying to create a certificate on a slide, following the assessment that will pull variables from SCORM (student name / today's date) and then allow me to print.

I've seen people mention to Print that you would need a flash object.  Our organization no longer supports Flash at all.

Any help?

Try this:

---------------------------

if (document.location.href.indexOf('html5') < 0) {
GetPlayer().printSlide()
} else {
if(!window.hasPrintStyle){
window.hasPrintStyle = true;
var css = "@media print {div.controls.grid-row.inflexible,div.area-secondary.cs-left.inflexible,header.header-primary.centered-title.extended-height,div.presentation-wrapper:after {display:none !important; visibility:hidden !important;}}";
head = document.head || document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
style = document.createElement('style');
style.type = 'text/css';
if (style.styleSheet){
style.styleSheet.cssText = css;
} else {
style.appendChild(document.createTextNode(css));
}
head.appendChild(style);
}
window.print();
}

If that doesn't work, the way that I've printed in the past was to use Execute Javascript to essentially create a new window with the certificate I wanted to print created on it using HTML.  The one piece of advice I have about printing is that different browsers handle printing just a little differently, and you will have to account for that.  Also, I always include a "print" button on the page that will disappear when clicked, in case they want to print a second copy, the cancel the print job, etc.

Matthew...THANK YOU

Hi, please could you let me know if the bug relating to  passing completion status to the LMS with HTML5 output,  has been fixed now. Thanks.

Hi Stephanie,

The issue with Javascript code no longer sending completion status to LMS in Storyline 360 and using HTML5 output, is still an open issue based on the changes made to the publishing engine in Storyline. Our team is looking at ways that we could incorporate these features for you and others to use in the future, but in the meantime you'd want to use the built in completion elements from the results slide or publishing properties. 

Sounds great Stephanie. Thanks for the update.

It looks like your email signature came through when you replied via email. You can remove that if needed by clicking ‘Edit’ beneath your response. Here’s a quick Peek video if you need help.

Hi Matthew and Stephanie,

Just a quick clarification here - the issue fixed was Javascript triggers that would set Storyline variables based on using the LMS API. So that would be pulling data from the LMS such as the users' name, etc. This does not change the behavior for setting the completion using Javascript in Storyline 3/360. That is something our team is still looking at based on the changes made to our publishing engine, and ways it could be added as a new feature for Storyline.

Hi Matthew, 

It should work as long as it's using the lmsAPI piece. Let me know if you run into any trouble testing it and I can get it connected with our team. 

I know its been a while Adam since you responded to this post - but thank you (and Chris) for working through a solution - It has saved me needing to review and update weeks worth of projects. 

Thanks!!!
