Retrieve LMS User Name as Variable
I know you can have a user fill in a text box with their name and then later use that variable for personalization. What we would like to do is programmatically retrieve the user name from the LMS....
Hi all,
I am trying to pull information from the LMS and save into Storyline variables. To start off, I'm trying to grab the user's name. I used the Javascript code shown in this thread but it doesn't work for me.
var player = GetPlayer();
var myName = lmsAPI.GetStudentName();
var array = myName.split(',');
var newName = array[1] + ' ' + array[0];
player.SetVar("newName", newName);
Do I have to change something based on the particular LMS I'm using? What could be the problem?
