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....
Hello, I know this thread is old (5 years ago) but I'm hoping that someone can help me. I'm trying to print the name of users on a certificate of completion. The names should be their registered names for the course. I tried the codes but it's not working for me. Please help anyone..Thanks
Hello Kayode!
There is a more recent thread here about this, that starts with code that works with current Articulate 3 in HTML5 and Flash output.
Hello for your prompt response. I have read the thread. Where should I copy the JavaScript? I mean on which slide? Thanks Kayode
The JavaScript trigger has to be executed before you use the name, that you stored in a variable. Since variables in Articulate hold there value for the whole project, you can put the JavaScript trigger on the first slide.
Hello, I'm not sure if I asked my question rightly. This is the scenario: Imagine a student logs in to his/her LMS and is going through this training course after which he/she will print out a certificate of completion that will include his/her registered name in d LMS. The module is created in Storyline 3. I have already created a certificate. How do I retrieve the name from the LMS to print on the certificate. Thanks for your help!
