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, Vince -
You can try a couple of things to troubleshoot the issue.
1)
alert(lmsAPI.GetStudentName());
If your student name returns in the alert, the method is working and there's another problem. If it doesn't, try this:
2)
var lmsAPI = parent;
alert(lmsAPI.GetStudentName());
It could be that your LMSAPI is nested in a parent. This jacks up the reference. If #2 returns your student name, let us know and we'll recommend a change to the original script.
