Skip the Into Page > Immediately Start Course
We are working with a large corporation that hosts the rise modules on their internal LMS system.
Here is an example of one of the assets we created.
With some hacks we have been able to add "share this" functionality to the site. We want our users to share what they have learned with the outside world. Part of this would be creating "Teasers" of the rise modules that would sit on the open web, for anybody to view. These teasers would then direct them to the portal where they can signup and pay for the course etc.
Here is an example of our "teaser"

I want to use the mapping tool option as an item someone could share. HOWEVER. I don't think in this use case we need to have them "Continue" or "Start Course" - I really just want them to come directly to the first lesson.
So that it's the first thing they view. Is something like that possible, has anybody come across a hack that would accomplish this?

Hi Paul,
I went ahead and submitted your idea as a feature request. And since you're now subscribed to this conversation, you’ll automatically be notified as we share updates.
In the meantime, if there's anything else I can do to help, please let me know!
This was just what I needed for a course! It's a one page introduction that leads into other modules, so no need for a lessons page since there's only one "lesson".
To edit the TinCan publish you'll want to:
- First you'll need the URL of the page you'd like to start on. Unzip the exported course and open "index.html" in your browser.
- Navigate to the page you want and copy the URL after "index.html#". Should look something like: file:///C:/Users/User/Documents/TrainingPackage/scormcontent/index.html#/lessons/-abcdefghijklmnops?_k=xyzmp30
- Go back to the unzipped course files and open "tincan.xml" with Notepad++
Search for "index.html" and find the line: <launch lang="en-US">index.html</launch>
In the tincan.xml file, add "#/lessons/-abcdefghijklmnops?_k=xyzmp30/" with the URL of the page you'd like to start on:
<launch lang="en-US">index.html#/lessons/-abcdefghijklmnops?_k=xyzmp30/</launch>
Note: be sure to include the # at the beginning and / at the end. My first attempt did not include those symbols and it failed when testing on SCORM Cloud.
Has anyone figured out how to manually edit the launch page with an xAPI (Tin Can) export?
Hello! I'm adding my name to the list of people who would love to have a simple solution to skip the intro page. I have to hand off the Rise courses to someone else to upload to our website, and I don't want him to have to go through all the extra steps listed above (he's busy enough as it is). i'd love to have the "skip intro page" option in the settings of the course. Thank you for your consideration.
Thanks for the feedback, Jennifer!
I'm adding myself to this list as well. I would like to see it as a feature rather than a work-around.
Thanks for chiming in Tim!
Please also add me to this feature request list. We would "skip the intro page" more times than not with our use of Rise in our LMS. Thanks!
Will do!
Please add me to the list as well, thank you.
+1 for me to the list as well please.
Thanks for your feedback, Cass and Dorrien, I'll add you both to the feature request.
We utilize Rise for many things. One, in particular, is reading images of documents and that's it. An option to skip the intro page will be welcomed.

Thanks for that feedback Pauly! I'll add your voice to the feature request.
Me too! I would love this feature!
