Setting an expiry date for published content
Hi there.
As the title says, I was wondering if there was any way to set an expiry date for published content, which would basically stop users from being able to view the content after a specifi...
I would also love to see expiration dates built into the software, as we sell our courses to people for use on their own LMSs. While it would be lovely to have everyone manage the expiration on their own LMS, it does not make practical business sense.
I was able to get Owen's code to work with a small tweak. I kept getting an infinite loop error and slides were taking forever to load with the code written as it is above. I added stop() at the very end of the javascript and it works perfectly now. The only other change I made was to add a 1 second delay for when the jump to the "expired" slide trigger happens, because I couldn't get the trigger priority to work for some reason. I didn't spend much time exploring that issue, as we actually preferred the look of it. It made the expiration effect a little more pronounced.
Thanks for the help!
Glad you found it useful. 😎
Hi Owen - do you know you would hard code the variables as you mentioned above?
Which variable do you wish to hard code? If it is the creation date, simply store a date value in a Storyline variable.
If you have a file you can share, I can help you troubleshoot it.Owen Holt, would you be willing to help with some custom Java script for a Storyline course? In addition to creating an expiration date, we need to be able to set a cap on the number of users. If you're willing to assist, please contact me at peter@gilbertcreative.com. We're happy to compensate you for your time.
On another note, it's incredible that Articulate hasn't fulfilled this request after NINE YEARS!
