SCORM Wrapper

Janet - I am experiencing the same problem.  Success Factors said to add code to the imsmanifest file to hide the controls but i have no idea where to add it.

SF Learning launches SCORM 2004 4th edition content inside an LMS-provided navigation wrapper. If your content is coded to set the required navigations requests and the LMS-provided navigation buttons are not needed, they can be hidden by adding the prescribed tags below in the imsmanifest file.

<adlnav:presentation>
<adlnav:navigationInterface>
<adlnav:hideLMSUI>previous</adlnav:hideLMSUI>
<adlnav:hideLMSUI>continue</adlnav:hideLMSUI>
<adlnav:hideLMSUI>exitAll</adlnav:hideLMSUI>
<adlnav:hideLMSUI>suspendAll</adlnav:hideLMSUI>

Hoping someone has additional info or provide suggestions on adding this to the manifest file.

</adlnav:navigationInterface>
<adlnav:presentation>

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?

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.

Our IT team identified this issue: the SCORM package we exported from Rise no longer included the xmlns definition for adlnav. Therefore, the fix to both delete the terrible navigation button wrappers and make sure you don't get a content upload error that prevents you from uploading to SAP is this:

1. Export SCORM 2004 v. 4 file
2. unzip
3. open imsmanifest.xml file
4. edit as follows (using wordpad, not MS Word):
   1. 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>

5. Check if the identifier xmlns:adlnav=”http://www.adlnet.org/xsd/adlnav_v1p3 is present. If not, add this exactly (include quotation marks at end) in the xmlns definitions:
   xmlns:adlnav="http://www.adlnet.org/xsd/adlnav_v1p3"
   notably, we add this just after the line that starts with xmlns:imiss=...
6. Save and rezip the file
7. Upload to SAP

*side note: this doesn't seem to be a change in the SAP software, but in what Articulate includes in the exported content package. Our IT department told us to follow up with Articulate to find out why this had changed.

I followed your instructions, but the file still failed in SAP LMS. 

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"
xmlns:xs = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns = "http://www.adlnet.org/xsd/adlnav_v1p3"
elementFormDefault = "qualified"
version = "1.0">

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 :-)

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. 

1. 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"

2. 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>
