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....
Does anyone have more sugesstions to try? The fact that it is returning a blank( ie. " , ") it seems the code is working fine, but it is not grabbing the name properly from the LMS. Is it possible that the LMSAPI is nested in more than 1 parent? I initially felt good about this code:
var lmsAPI = parent;
alert(lmsAPI.GetStudentName());
But when that didn't work, I thought maybe the idea of nested parents could be taken further. Stop me if I don't know what I'm talking about here, just trying to get this to work somehow.
