Retrieve LMS User Name as Variable

You might test your course in ADL Sample Run Time Environment or in SCORM Cloud. If it works there, you have a good argument against your LMS vendor.

I am doing the same thing trying to get the Users ID or Email from the LMS.   I am trying to have a promotion in the course that will give the Users ID or Email over to a website that will randomly select a winner for a prize.  I want to use something more than just the users name because there maybe people with the same name.  I need help getting this info and then giving it to a website to see if they can win.  thanks for any help you can give.

Did some searching and stumbled across this forum.  Just a couple questions about this and hoping someone might have an answer.

1) Has anyone figured out a way to get this working with HTML 5 yet?

2) Has anyone gotten this to work on the Skillport LMS?  

Thank you in advanced to anyone who might have an answer!

I am trying to pull the users "business area" from the LMS so I can bespoke parts of the learning to meet their specific roles/needs, however, I have tried amending the above script but no joy so far.

Any ideas?  The data is stored in the LMS as Division

Has anyone had any success in pulling division/dept from the LMS?  If so, could you possibly share the code?

Thanks

I got some help in the same area, here:

Thanks!

Works great... once I realised it's caps sensitive.

I'm trying to generate a certificate that contains the name of the student. I created a button that opens an html file with the certificate design, and the code I'm using is:

var player=window.opener.GetPlayer();
var learnerName=player.GetVar("newName");

document.write("

Yet, I'm getting undefined as a result. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Israel, and welcome to Heroes! 

Although we don't support the creation of certificates, I wanted to point you to this KB article with a few methods described. Additionally, this thread with an example from Steve Flowers is a popular one, and a great place to discuss customizing the certificate further. 

Hi Ashley, thanks for your answer.

I actually did base my certificate on Steve Flowers' example and following some of the posts on that thread.

However, I'm still getting "undefined". Moreover, using firebug to debug js I found out that lmsAPI.js functions are not working as if the .js file was not being loaded.

I'm not a Javascript expert ( or even a novice) so I'll defer to someone in the community to help you out! You may also want to post in that other thread if you didn't already - Steve Flowers is generally pretty good at getting back to people there.
