I'm using the cpQuizInfoStudentName and have tried it using a text box entry in the course before the quiz to have the variable populate and I've tried getting it to retrieve from the account used to log in from the LMS - in both cases the last letter of the name gets cut off - any ideas?

There is an InsertVariable dialog box that includes a "Maximum length" field with a default of 50 (characters). You may try increasing that to say, 100 - more if needed.

Hope this helps!

Ok I think I found where I can insert the Maximum length of the variable but its giving me the same issue - but I've noticed something different.  If I enter my name without a space at the end then the last character is removed.  If I type my name and add a space at the end then my full name shows up on the certificate of completion.

For the Course Name the system variable cpInfoProjectName is used. You can enter it in the dialog box Project Info which you can open from the File menu.

For the user name normally the variable cpQuizInfoStudentName is used. If the LMS allows it, this will be retrieved from the account used to log in. If not, you can use a text entry box in the course to have that variable populated.

    After much flailing about, found that User Name uses the User Variable cpQuizInfoStudentName and the Course Name uses the User Variable cpQuizInfoCourseName. This variable must be entered on the Certificate of Completion as $$cpQuizInforCourseName$$.

    Now have found that these Learning Interaction widgets will not display in SWF format from either a network or local drive?!
