How do I use the LMSGetValue javascript method?

[DouglasWOpicka]

I am trying to call the javascript LMSGetValue method when the first slide of my course loads.

However, the following line is not working:

studentName = LMSGetValue("cmi.core.student_name");

I have consulted tech support from the LMS, and they said it appears as if captivate doesn't define the LMSGetValue method in the js file included in the course.

Do I need to do something to include the scormdriver.js file in the course when it is published?

Any help would be much appreciated.

What version of CP are you using?

CP7 and 8 bothe have cpQuizInfoStudentName that gets populated in an LMS.

You could also use:

SCORM_CallLMSGetValue(strElement)

I am using cp 8 to create a responsive project.

In your example above, would the strElement be cmi.core.student_name or are you referring to a cp variable?

[TLCMediaDesign · Accepted solution]

SCORM_CallLMSGetValue("cmi.core.student_name");

You can also call this function once you get the name if it's not in the correct sequence:

ReverseNameSequence(strName)

TLCMediaDesign, thank you.

The following command worked properly:

SCORM_CallLMSGetValue("cmi.core.student_name");

I appreciate your help.
