We need to pass the LMS Student ID into a Captivate lesson and the use that ID in an url to access another website. I created a user variable "StudentID", and tried the following methods to get the LMS Student ID:

window.cpAPIInterface.setVariableValue("StudentID", cpQuizInfoStudentID);

window.cpAPIInterface.setVariableValue("StudentID", SCORM2004_GetStudentID());

window.cpAPIInterface.setVariableValue("StudentID", objLMS.GetStudentID());

window.cpAPIInterface.setVariableValue("StudentID", SCORM_GetStudentID());

But none of them works. It returns nothing without any error message. 

Anyone can help?

    Correct answer Lilybiri

    Are you sure that the LMS is populating cpQuizInfoStudentID and cpQuizInfoStudentName?

    Check it out by inserting those variables in a text container, using the X button in the Character part of its Properties panel. Not all LMSs connect that way.

    Hi Lilybiri,

    Thanks for your response. 

    I created the StudentID and StudentName user variables and displayed the variables on the slide along with the following script on entering the slide:

    window.cpAPIInterface.setVariableValue("StudentID", cpQuizInfoStudentID);
    window.cpAPIInterface.setVariableValue("StudentName", cpQuizInfoStudentName);

    After uploading the lesson to our LMS, it returns nothing, no error message. 

    Feels like the Captivate lesson is not communicate with the LMS interface. 

    Thanks.

    Why did you not try the original user variables. I have no idea why you transfer their value to a custom variable to do this test.
