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....
What LMS is this running in? Does anything alert adding this line to the top?
lmsAPI=parent;
var myName = lmsAPI.GetStudentName();
alert(myName);
Another potential cause is a script erroring out and preventing the call from executing. In Chrome (or another modern browser), try opening the browser console. Hamburger menu > More Tools > Developer Tools. Click the console tab then drop down the menu at the top labeled <top frame>, selecting the storyline window and look for errors to appear in the console.
