We have a course that requires learners to score 100% on a quiz at the end to earn completion credit. Learners who fail the quiz on the first try are allowed to retry the quiz once; if they fail again, they must retake the course. Since Reset All Variables actually resets only user-created variables, the […]

When I created a multiple choice question using Lectora Inspire with 4 possible answers.  When I click on the Question feedback option only 2 of the 4 question responses show up so I’m unable to add feedback to all 4 questions.  I’m not sure why I only see 2 of the 4 responses under feedback?  […]

Can someone confirm the file url for AICC publishing. We have used SCORM 1.2, but with many issues. We would like to see if AICC will resolve some of them but I cannot find the URL that works.

I have a drag-and-drop interaction that is custom coded. The learner can drag an item, then click the Submit button to evaluate the answer and displays a message in the pop-up box. However, if the learner drag an item, then clicks the Next button, it evaluates the answer, displays a message in the pop-upbox, advances to […]

Seamless play seems to break everything that I’ve programmed in non-seamless courses and it’s getting frustrating.  Anyway, I’d been using if(document.getElementById(“mep_0_captions_none”).checked){ document.getElementById(“mep_0_captions_en”).click(); } else { document.getElementById(“mep_0_captions_none”).click(); }; Of course with seamless play enabled this breaks.  So I changed the code up to if(getDisplayDocument().getElementById(“mep_0_captions_none”).checked){ getDisplayDocument().getElementById(“mep_0_captions_en”).click(); } else { getDisplayDocument().getElementById(“mep_0_captions_none”).click(); };   This works on the first […]

Service Pack 17.1.5 for Lectora Inspire and Lectora Publisher is now available. This update includes bug fixes: https://www.trivantis.com/service-pack-downloads/ In Lectora you can go to File > Lectora Preferences > Auto Update and click the “Check for Updates Now” button. Supported Browsers: Published content is cross-platform compatible with Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0 and higher, or any recent […]

Besides the Help button, is there any training materials for CourseMill?  For the End User and/or the Administrators?

I hope I’m missing something simple here, but the longer I work at it the fainter my hope gets. My ultimate goal is to print a portrait-oriented page from a button on a landscape-oriented page and then take the learner to a third (landscape) page. The portrait page has page dimensions set differently from the […]

Lectora Online 4.2.1 was released on 6/29/2018! This release includes lots of great bug fixes. For the complete list please visit: https://www.trivantis.com/release-notes/lectora-online-4-2-1

Is anyone else having major issues when using events timed to audio tracks? If I adjust the timing of an audio event in the events list, it bumps it to the top of the list, regardless of the timecode of the event and no longer plays whatever action is assigned to the event. When creating […]

In Lectora Online, jQuery is included in the built-in scripts from Trivantis. Running a selector however gives me this error in Firefox. [JS: showDebugMsg( message )] TypeError: $ is not a function This is the selector at hand: var debugWindow = $(“.debugTf”, getDisplayDocument());// using JQuery as selector and adding the scope My textfield has offocurse […]

In a co-workers files i notice the use of webfonts setup in a extra file. That file is a Html Extension which type is set to MetaTags. Checking the Lectora Online help file on this i did notice that indeed there it is described to use like that too. ‘In the Properties tab for the […]

In the attached sample, there are two actions at the top of the title that we will want to assign at the AU level in lots of titles. The actions conditionally show or hide two objects. The actions work as expected in the sample. However, when I save the actions as library objects and then […]

So we have a scaling issue ( well thats we thought we had ) with Lectora on iPhone X. Specifically Lectora Online. Today i discovered it is not a scaling issue, but a aspect ratio issue. When changing the wndPage/pageDiv scaling to 0.9 well the pages nicely fit on iPhone. So i just now stumbled […]

A nice to have, both for Online as for Inspire would be an option where a developer can set ( like the publish strings ) fixed css class names for elements. I am thinking about the checkboxes and radioboxes to start with, but i can imagine it would be usefull for all elements. Big plus […]

Just curious if anyone has encountered this issue before. When I have a test with ‘Grade the test.’ checked my test pages do not render with Preview in Browser nor do they publish and work.   The pages do all work in Preview in Lectora and Debug modes. Looking at the IE debugger, it says Unable to […]

In Lectora Online 4.2 quite a few changes on the texteditor when editing textfields. One major annoying one for me is the size, position and visibility of the editorelements that appear on top of your textfield. For me they obscure/block my sight of the page below. So some customizability of this window would be great. […]

What would be great was an additional role , or the option to define what a specific role is allowed to edit. Some sort of editor-role that can only edit specified texts and import/replace images…. very limited role. Best would be give the admin who defines that role, quite specific options to define that role.

Happy #nationalselfieday !

Well… something fishy in the texteditor in Online 4.2 Im not happy with these kind of bugs in the editor. Slows down production drastically. Please do fix this. Submitting it as a bug too.. Text remaining in some formatting…only retyping/repasting gets rid of the bold type. See the video… PS. Clicking Submit a support ticket […]

Another thing im running into. Would love to use anchors. But as its implemented now, they go automatically to ‘Always on top’. And i cannot disable it !!! That doesnot work for me. First of all because i want to use that as little as possible. I prefer arranging my Title Explorer myself to ensure […]

Stumbling on this atm. For optimal quality when viewing a title fullscreen, its best to import assets in a twice as high resolution as normally needed in Lectora. So when you publish the title, it has double the image information to show onscreen when the title is viewed fullscreen. That works well with all imported […]

I have a curriculum that is set up with one course and several weekly Sessions. We run New Hire ILT courses every MTW. I did not like the way this was set up long ago but did not want to mess with records. Is there a way to redesign the way this works? Can this […]

Allright, getting some real weird behaviour in LO 4.2 when formatting text. Plain old text typed into it, formatted in Open Sans Bold 24 pt… and then suddenly a second part of the text in the box wont change… have to unselect/reselect the textbox to get it to format properly. Thats no good.

Lectora Online 4.2 was released on 6/15/2018! For this release, we improved text and powerpoint import functionality.  You’ll also see a new feature in regards to Responsive Course Design (RCD). For a look at some of the new features please check out this article: https://community.trivantis.com/knowledge-base/new-changes-lectora-online-4-2/ Release notes can be found here: http://trivantis.com/lectora-online-releases

This weekend LO 4.2 got released and im at loss how to get my Javascripts working in 4.2 So i got a title published, without seamless it finds my JS fine and works as desired.. when using Seamless Play…the JS cannot access the page anymore ? Is this a bug or am i missing anything? […]

When you copy and paste unformatted text into a textbox in Lectora Online, you get a formatting box on top of that textfield so you can quickly change the format for that text. However when you use that, the textformatting is different then when you use the formatting options in the tab-text on top. The […]

Has anybody downloaded the Shamrock email interaction from eLearning Bros?  My next and back arrows within my title seem to disable when I click on the answer to the first email (or the 2nd, 3rd or 4th).  They work fine as long as I don’t start the interaction.  I’m sure it’s related to the variables […]

Lately working more and more in Lectora Online. Figured out quite a few changes in how LO uses Javascript. One thing i would love to figure out is how to detect the html-name of an actiongroup on runtime. I dont want it hardcoded in my code… i want to use something like  %HTMLNAME%  to detect […]

When a user clicks the “Submit” button without selecting an answer choice, the “Incorrect” pop-up appears. Is there a way to have the Publish String message “You must answer all of the questions to continue.” to pop-up at that time instead (only if a selection was not made)?

We need to track completions of a third-party survey from within our LMS. (Don’t ask.) I’ve built a simple title with an HTML extension that displays the survey inside our e-learning skin. The survey is designed to go to a URL on our domain after it’s submitted, specifically because this causes the iframe’s onload event […]

i found just now. In the actions dropdown menu there is no item for play when you have a group selected. Play a video or animation. However somehow i do have play-actions in my title, when i copy/paste them.. i can use them. Not creating new ones from scratch though.

When my course is tested in SCORM Cloud one tester experienced the error below when the course is opened, but then they click Ok, it goes away and course seems to function fine from there. This site says… LMSInitialize Error: General exception  

When you got a lot of pagelements, when assigning a target to any action, you have to scroll down the looooooooooong targetlist to get to your target. Although you can add _ infront of a name to push that element up the list, i do think some better customizability on this list would benefit speed […]

Not sure whether this qualifies as something for the wishlist or as a bug. When you select a group of items in LO you cannot use keys (Arrow down or Arrow up) to move that group. Instead LO selects a next item. In Lectora 17 however, thanks to the fact you have a SelectItem icon […]

I have a Lectora title that includes a video.  In Run or Preview mode, full screen view works great, but once the title is published (SCORM), the full screen view cuts off a good part of the video frame.  It looks zoomed in, so you can only see part of the screen.  It’s totally unusable […]

In Lectora Inspire/Publisher you have the option to zoom in your edit view. So you can finetune things. In Lectora Online that functionality is gone. Can we get that in LO too ?

I created a responsive title that works okay on my iPhone 8, but not on the iPhone X.  The Apple site says that Safari will display my page “beautifully,” but that hasn’t been the case.  Instead, everything on the right-hand side of the screen (in landscape mode) is cut off.  Does anyone have any idea […]

Do smart quotes (curly double and single quotes), special characters such as bullet points, etc sign, and en dash, em dash cause problem with your LMS? problem such as frozen screen when starting a course, saving user data to LMS when question and choice text has these characters? Thanks,

Hello Can anyone recommend an LMS which is attractive (with flexible appearance), SCORM compatible and with a payment gateway that will accept Lectora SCORM output – and that is based on open source or available at very low cost. I know that the Learndash (WordPress-based) plugin gives *most* of these things but is not Lectora […]

Hi, When I include a print page action, my Exit button no longer works with action “Exit/Close”. If I remove that one action, even several pages before the actual Exit screen, everything works. Thoughts or ideas? Thanks, Mark

When requesting assistance it would be of great help to the forum members if you include a sample of the lesson giving you an issue. If you cannot redact sensitive information from the sample please create a separate one. Most of us are quite busy and a lot of the time we need a sample […]

I’m trying something new and could use some ideas. The script I’m developing e-learning from gives some lines to the learner as he or she interacts with characters on the screen. In some cases, these are presented as options for the question, “What would you say?”, and those are easy to develop and seem clear when […]

Hi, When outside an LMS and submitting to a Google Drive Doc, the prompt “Prompt for Student Name”  captures the students name to a variable (debugging says variable name is TrivantisUserName). Does anyone know a way to retrieve this value to use elsewhere, say on a certificate page, as it doesn’t seem to be an accessible […]

Hi all I’m using Lectora Inspire 17.1.3. My courses track progress for each page and chapter, and show a green tick as each page and chapter is completed, using the standard Lectora Table of Contents and menu elements. I also have assessment questions that show a completed tick when the test is successfully passed. I […]

I’ve complained on this forum before that Lectora does not scale text in text boxes in responsive titles, and I still think it should. But I discovered by chance today that it does scale text added to shapes. For most purposes, I plan to begin using shapes for text instead of text boxes so that the text […]

Hey all, I’ve been updating older modules using Lectora 17 (these were developed say 2013/14). A number of the assessments have randomised tests that only require a certain number to be asked e.g. 20 question pool, only required to answer 15 and randomized. The action seems to no longer work? I tested for a standard […]

Hi, I am new to developing randomized test in Lectora 17.  I created a simple test and published it as an offline package. When I played the lesson, it plays as expected as the questions were randomized. However, when I published it to HTML and plays the lesson it only loads with the text “Loading […]

Imagine a course with a boatload of user-defined variables. We need users to be able to exit the course in progress and pick up where they left off later, so “retain value between sessions” is checked on all the variables. Now suppose a user wants to start over as if taking the course for the […]

Hello   My client is super picky… They are requesting a LMS Commit upon EVERY page load. So they need a constant “dirty data” check. We changed the environment from 10 second check to 5 min check… but that will only work if every page load commits. Ideas?  

Hello Thanks in advance for the solution to this one. I have attached a few PDF’s but they’re not being delivered when the course is launched. How do I “include in package” of the course?  I know I can host myself and simply link, but that is less desirable. Thanks!   Bryan

We’re having ongoing issues trying to reach someone about our Lectora subscriptions so this is our last resort… 1. We’ve sent a request to renew a license but no one has sent a license key through. No response to multiple emails. 2. We’re trying to reinstall the software, we need to call for an access […]

How are people using the Personal, Curriculum, and Course Info areas of the Organization. We currently have an HRIS system so we are keeping personal information out of CM. I am thinking that it would be a good place to be able to put previous training but I am not sure how this works and […]

Hi all, We have a client who would like to have standalone copies of content for reviewing while on the go (without internet) – the problem is they use a Mac often. The standard publish to standalone works well on Windows but being an EXE can’t run on anything else. We’re a bit stuck here and seem […]

I have a drag-and-drop question. I also have a JavaScript that needs to know whether that question was answered correctly. The question variable is a comma-delimited list showing ItemName-DropZoneName. It’s very cumbersome to write that value into an if statement. It would be easy to typo it, and especially easy to forget to update the […]
