User notes that they can print and email

Would it be possible to share a link to it with us?

Hi Stephanie and others. I love this design!

I would like to provide users a workaround in case their browser's security settings prevent the Javascript from executing. I hoped to compile all the notes in a scrolling panel so that users could copy and paste, but now I realize that player text is not select-able.

Is there a way to enable copy and paste for on-screen content?

Hi Matthew - thanks for replying on a two-year-old thread!

My concern about browser security settings is entirely pre-emptive. I haven't finished building the functionality in my project yet, actually. I am trying to be robust in design, but I guess there's the Knuth quote - "premature optimization is the root of all evil."

Awesome post Stephanie... Cheers!

Hi all,

This method for capturing notes during a course and emailing them, has really helped me in a few of my recent modules, thank you Stephanie!

I do have a question:

Instead of typing the target email address in a text field, and then executing the JavaScript, is there a way to use the email trigger in a button for instance, where you can add the email address upfront? In the course I am working on now, I have been asked if there is a way to do this, where the learner doesn't have to type an email address in a text box. If I can pre-populate that address, that would be great.

Thanks in advance

Regards

David

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for the information. The solution in your tutorial looks really good. In my module, I currently have three text box variables, each one asking a question for specific feedback from the course. Can I combine these so that they feature in one email, or do I have to create three separate emails?

Regards

Hi Matthew,

That is great. I adjusted the script as below and all works as hoped.

var player = GetPlayer();
var email = 'my.email@address.com'
var fbk = player.GetVar('Feedback');
var fbk2 = player.GetVar('Feedback2');
var fbk3 = player.GetVar('Feedback3');
var subject = 'Course Feedback';
var emailBody = 'Here is some feedback:' + '\n' + fbk + '\n' + fbk2 + '\n' + fbk3;
var mailto_link = 'mailto:' + email + '?subject=' + subject + '&body=' + encodeURIComponent(emailBody);
win = window.open(mailto_link, 'emailWin');

Two quick questions if I may:

1. Will this work in a LMS?
2. Is there a way of stopping a blank tab opening at the same time as the email?

Thanks again Matthew!

Regards

David

Hi Matthew,

That's great. I really appreciate the help you have given me.

Many thanks

Dave

Hey, this is amazing, but I am having trouble making it work. I am not sure exactly what needs to change in the java script. I am trying to make the email function work. This is what I put in (maybe i changed things i shouldn't have?). Any help would be great:

var player = GetPlayer();

var useremail=player.GetVar("email");

var subject="Trois type de reportage journalistic";

var quoi1=player.GetVar("TextEntry283");
var qui1=player.GetVar("TextEntry268");
var quand1=player.GetVar("Textentry270");

var mailto_link='mailto:'+useremail+'?subject='+subject+'&body=
'+"Notes Description de faits - Quoi:%0d%0A“
+quoi1+"%0d%0A%0d%0A
Notes Description de faits - Qui:%0d%0A“
+qui1+"%0d%0A%0d%0A
Notes Description de faits - Quand:%0d%0A“
+quand1+"%0d%0A%0d%0A

win=window.open(mailto_link,'emailWin');

It looks like some of your quotes are not closed. And there is a mix of different quote types: ',",and “

I am not sure if it is the formating of the post... but typicly you shouldn't break strings into multiple lines. If you do you will need to add a slash (\) at the end of each line.

This might work (untested but formatted better). Note that I just made the mail_to_link all one line and replaced the various quotes. 

var player = GetPlayer();

var useremail=player.GetVar("email");

var subject="Trois type de reportage journalistic";

var quoi1=player.GetVar("TextEntry283");
var qui1=player.GetVar("TextEntry268");
var quand1=player.GetVar("Textentry270");

var mailto_link="mailto:"+useremail+"?subject="+subject+"&body=Notes Description de faits - Quoi:%0d%0A"+quoi1+"%0d%0A%0d%0A Notes Description de faits - Qui:%0d%0A"+qui1+"%0d%0A%0d%0A Notes Description de faits - Quand:%0d%0A"+quand1+"%0d%0A%0d%0A"

win=window.open(mailto_link,"emailWin");
