Retrieve LMS User Name as Variable

Hello! I'm having some trouble getting a Student ID to display. I set an alert to get the Student ID and it pops up with the info displayed perfectly, but I can't seem to transfer that StudentID variable into my Storyline project. Here is my code:

var player = GetPlayer ();

var learnerID = lmsAPI.GetStudentID();

player.SetVar("learnerID", learnerID);

It might help to note that we use Cornerstone for our LMS. Any ideas?

Hi Matt! 

Hopefully someone will chime in to assist you here or you are welcome to reach out to users directly via the 'Contact Me' option on their user profile if needed.

I did want to pop in and let you know that we have a pretty extensive thread with our Cornerstone LMS users that I thought you might want to know about for sure :)

Thanks, Leslie! Didn't know about the Cornerstone user thread.

Try adding this before you call lmsAPI.GetStudentID():

lmsAPI=parent; 

I must have had a typo in my code in the trigger I set up. I just recreated the trigger with the same code as above and was successful.

Thanks for the reply, Steve! I had tried adding that line earlier, thinking that was the problem, but had no luck. I must have just messed up the code somehow because it's working now.

I'm now trying to use the same script as my earlier post to grab the course ID (replacing StudentID with CourseID and learner with course in script), but can't seem to get it to return. I've tried to set up an alert like this:

alert(lmsAPI.GetCourseID());

But no pop-up message appears. I tried to add the var lmsAPI = parent line, but no luck. I double checked the variable name in the AICCFunctions.js file and there is a variable titled AICC_CourseID. Any idea why this isn't coming back for me, yet I get the StudentID with no problem?

Hello!,

It works in SCORM 1.2 but if I want to know the User's ID. How can I get it? 

Hi Eduardo, 

You'll need to click on the user's name to visit their profile. Then you'll see a "contact me" button to reach out to them specifically. 

Thank you Ashley!
