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?

Why not just post it here? Why make us jump through hoops to get a solution?
One of the reasons I would like this feature is that we sometimes enter courses different ways, so always having to see the top banner and start button can mess up the flow. This is also the case when wanting to build branching scenarios when wanting to link to a separate Rise. It would work beautifully if you could skip the start button, but as it is, it doesn't work so well for this.
Me too. Thanks
Here's my hack for a "web" export.
- open your exported site and click on the "Start Course" button and in the address bar, copy everything after index.htm and save it for later
- rename the exported index.html file to index_target.html
- create a new index.html file with only the bare necessities:
<!doctype html><html><head><meta charset="utf-8"><title>Untitled Document</title><script>location='index_target.html#/lessons/z2g1--QmkDuYmxI-yuMEc4BMbBwbJle6';</script></head><body></body></html> - edit the javascript you just created to use the url string you copied earlier (keep the hashtag after ".html")
- Now open the index.htm file like you did before and the start screen is bypassed.
Does anyone know if this feature "skip intro page" is still in the list for the future request list? Any information would be helpful.
Hi Becky,
Thanks for checking in. We don't have any updates to share yet but once we do, we will update this thread.
I also need this feature. There are already enough extra clicks and poor UX when embedding SCORM content in an LMS; it would be nice to at least be able to eliminate this completely unnecessary intro page. It certainly wouldn't be difficult to implement as an export option.
This feature is still not here? Surely there is a simple way to implement a "set starting page" option. I can think of a few non linear or single page projects that would be great in Rise if I could get this to work without having to adjust a post published file.
+1 please
