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 again,
Matthew Bibby gave me the answer. It works perfectly in Talensoft LMS.
Be aware that I only needed the firstname.
Here is his code to close my question.
function findLMSAPI(win) {
if (win.hasOwnProperty("GetStudentID")) return win;
else if (win.parent == win) return null;
else return findLMSAPI(win.parent);
}
var lmsAPI = findLMSAPI(this);
var name = lmsAPI.SCORM2004_GetStudentName();
var nameArray = name.split(',');
var firstName = nameArray[1];
// var lastName = nameArray[0];
// var fullName = firstName + ' ' + lastName;
var player = GetPlayer();
player.SetVar("Name",firstName);
