Using imsmanifest xml to hide navigation buttons

Jul 25, 2022

How can we update the imsmanifest xml file to hide the adlnav buttons for a RISE SCORM 2004 4th ed course? We used the following in the imsmanifest xml file for a course published from StoryLine and it worked just fine. However, this same code does not appear to function as expected when inserting it into the manifest file from a RISE course. Any ideas? Does anyone have a copy of a manifest file from RISE with the buttons hidden?

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

I would love to hear if you ever found a solution to this.  We are having the same issue. We have been able to apply this fix to SCORM 2004v4 Storyline files, but in the RISE file, there is already a line and any time I try to move, remove, or replace it - the package isn't registered as valid by our LMS:

<organizations default="Blah">
<organization identifier="Blah" adlseq:objectivesGlobalToSystem="false">
<title>TITLE</title>
<item identifier="i1" identifierref="r1" isvisible="true">
<title>TITLE</title>
<adlcp:dataFromLMS>eyJjcHYiOiJHUHB6WUJBWCIsInJsZCI6ZmFsc2V9</adlcp:dataFromLMS>
<imsss:sequencing>
<imsss:deliveryControls tracked="true" completionSetByContent="true" objectiveSetByContent="true"/>
</imsss:sequencing>
</item>

It's times like this I wish I actually understood the code I occasionally have to look at.

Hi All, look into the latest post on this thread;
https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-presenter/scorm-wrapper
It appears that Articulate no longer includes the nav definitions in the manifest file for Rise.

With that missing, the additional code that we add after the </Title> and before the </Item> area to hide the nav buttons gives an error by the LMS trying to create the package from the manifest file.  I have not yet tested with an export from SL or Studio/Presenter as of yet.

Missing xmlns definition:
xmlns:adlnav="http://www.adlnet.org/xsd/adlnav_v1p3"

Missing schema location:
http://www.adlnet.org/xsd/adlnav_v1p3 adlnav_v1p3.xsd


This is a full example of the xmlns header that I had on a prior file and found a copy/paste worked well for me from it to my new manifest file.

xmlns="http://www.imsglobal.org/xsd/imscp_v1p1"  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:adlcp="http://www.adlnet.org/xsd/adlcp_v1p3"
xmlns:adlseq="http://www.adlnet.org/xsd/adlseq_v1p3"
xmlns:adlnav="http://www.adlnet.org/xsd/adlnav_v1p3"
xmlns:imsss="http://www.imsglobal.org/xsd/imsss"
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.imsglobal.org/xsd/imscp_v1p1 imscp_v1p1.xsd

This is what the coding should look like. Here is the coding in text that needs to be added: 

xmlns:adlnav="http://www.adlnet.org/xsd/adlnav_v1p3"

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

 

This is applicable for Rise only, SCORM 2004 4th edition

I got it to work by editing the iManifest file and inserting the following code.

So around line 5 insert...
xmlns:adlcp="http://www.adlnet.org/xsd/adlcp_v1p3"

Around line 24 insert...
<adlnav:presentation>
<adlnav:navigationInterface>
<adlnav:hideLMSUI>continue</adlnav:hideLMSUI>
<adlnav:hideLMSUI>previous</adlnav:hideLMSUI>
<adlnav:hideLMSUI>abandon</adlnav:hideLMSUI>
<adlnav:hideLMSUI>exit</adlnav:hideLMSUI>
<adlnav:hideLMSUI>abandonAll</adlnav:hideLMSUI>
<adlnav:hideLMSUI>exitAll</adlnav:hideLMSUI>
<adlnav:hideLMSUI>suspendAll</adlnav:hideLMSUI>
</adlnav:navigationInterface>
</adlnav:presentation>
