SCORM Wrapper
I'm not sure if this is an Articulate issue, or something from Plateau/Success Factors, but here goes.
I'm publishing my Articulate 2013 course in SCORM 2004 v2 for deployment on our Plateau LMS. When the course is launched, it comes up in a "wrapper" with a set of control buttons (Suspend, Continue, Exit). Is this something from Articulate, and if so, how can I manage it? At the very least, I need to edit those buttons because the naming is not at all intuitive.
I don't see any place within the Articulate tool to control this, although I am seeing some possible connection in the manifest file.
Help?
Hi Raymond and Jakob,
I haven't seen any other updates here, and as Steve initially mentioned it's a part of the wrapper within the LMS. To confirm this (in the event that maybe you're seeing something a little different) you could upload a copy of your published output to SCORM Cloud which is an industry standard for testing SCORM content. You could also reach out to others in this thread directly using the "contact me" option on their profile pages.

Looks like this thread has kind of dwindled away, but the problem still exists. I am publishing a SL2 course, SCORM 2004 4th ed, to SuccessFactors LMS. The three wrapper buttons appear and I've tried everything I can think of to get rid of them. I've attached the imsmanifest for the course, and the KnowledgeBase article from SuccessFactors. Nothing is working. Still looks like this:
Has anyone had success in getting rid of these buttons? Been banging my head on the wall for several weeks now and need some help. Thanks!

Hi A B,
Thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately, my SCORM file does not work after I put that codes. Perhaps I pasted it at different line. Would you mind to share where exactly I should place it?
Secondly, I don't know why my SCORM unable to resume. Even though I have set prompt to resume at player setting. Do you know why?
FYI, I have tested all version; 1.2, 2004 (2nd to 4th edition) but the problem persist. Resume popup does not appear in my LMS (SAP successfactor)
Thanks for your help. I attached my original manifest file for your review.
Thanks a lot!

Hello. I have the same problem. I'm inserting the code correctly (in my opinion) but it doesn't work. The buttons are still present.
Has anyone found a solution? - MarcusGriesb553Community Member
I believe SAP broke it when they are working on the New Course Home page. I submitted a ticket with SAP, said it wasn't their problem.
The Launch button was creating an error, so I had to change the Launch URL string in the content object from launcher.html to index_lms.html and it worked ok. Not what the imsmanifest.xml file stated in the href.

I followed your instructions, but the file still failed in SAP LMS.
Hi Carla,
Sorry to hear that you ran into this snag.
I recommend testing how your course behaves in SCORM Cloud to verify if the published package is fully functional. If your course works in SCORM Cloud, please reach out to the support team of SAP LMS to let them know that your course is not working properly when uploaded to their environment.

Hello All,
Would the provided steps also work for a Presenter file? I added the new code to the manifest file, but the LMS (SuccessFactors) rejected the file. I see that the adlnav file DOES exist at the top, so I am unsure why it didn't work. Presenter uses Articulate to publish the file, so it makes sense that the steps would be the same. But the manifest file looks a bit different, so perhaps it's not that simple. I would appreciate any help I can get. I've been successful to remove the wrapper buttons for both SL and RISE, so now I am trying to figure out this 3rd option for Presenter. Thank you!

We are having the same issue with SuccessFactors. I even loaded the imsmanifest.xml file directly into the iContent server, but it didn't update the adlnav buttons.
I noticed there was a new adlnav_v1p3.xsd file within the SCORM root, which has the hidenav code, but I don't know how to get the imsmanifest.xml file to read the file or to execute the hide code.
here is the code found in the adlnav_v1p3.xsd file:
<?xml version = "1.0"?>
<xs:schema targetNamespace = "http://www.adlnet.org/xsd/adlnav_v1p3"

Thanks to all for contribution to this thread! We are still having issue with SF navigation bar too. Strangely enough, Storyline contents have the buttons hidden without any intervention into xml files. Blank navigation bar is still displayed though.
With Rise contents, no matter what we adjust in imsmanifest.xml, the buttons are still present. We applied all the suggestions from this thread with no success in SuccessFactors :-)- CarlaRavazzzanoCommunity Member

I can't see the previous threads, but we have the same setup (Rise, SF), and this is the code we input into the manifest file. It works consistently for us to totally remove the buttons and ensure there is not an upload error.
- Check if the identifier “xmlns:adlnav= "http://www.adlnet.org/xsd/adlnav_v1p3" is part of the manifest. If not, add it.
If missing, add this:
xmlns:adlnav="http://www.adlnet.org/xsd/adlnav_v1p3"
- Next, add the following text just below the SECOND <title> XXXXX </title>:
<adlnav:presentation>
<adlnav:navigationInterface>
<adlnav:hideLMSUI>continue</adlnav:hideLMSUI>
<adlnav:hideLMSUI>previous</adlnav:hideLMSUI>
<adlnav:hideLMSUI>exit</adlnav:hideLMSUI>
<adlnav:hideLMSUI>abandon</adlnav:hideLMSUI>
<adlnav:hideLMSUI>exitAll</adlnav:hideLMSUI>
<adlnav:hideLMSUI>suspendAll</adlnav:hideLMSUI>
<adlnav:hideLMSUI>abandonAll</adlnav:hideLMSUI>
</adlnav:navigationInterface>
</adlnav:presentation>
