Pulling first name from LMS
Hi all - I'm wondering if anyone might be able to put together a step-by-step guide as to how to set up a variable / javascript function for this? (i.e. pulling a user's first name from the LMS).
...
This should provide the requested results:
var lmsAPI = parent;
var name = lmsAPI.GetStudentName();
var id = lmsAPI.GetStudentID();
var nameArray = str.split(" ");
var firstName = nameArray[1];
var firstInitial = firstName.charAt(0);
var lastName = nameArray[0];
var cleanLastName = lastName.replace(/[^a-zA-Z]/g, "");
var userName = firstInitial + cleanLastName;
var userName = userName.toLowerCase();
var player = GetPlayer();
player.SetVar('first_name', firstName);
player.SetVar('last_name', lastName);
player.SetVar('first_initial', firstInitial);
player.SetVar('email', id);
player.SetVar('username', userName);
Thanks Lucio - you're a star :)
Just confirming, I will need the following text variables in Storyline for this to work:
first_name
last_name
first_initial
username
?
Thanks,
Sal
