Variable communication between Captivate HTML and Connect LMS (or lack of)

Report · Dec 13, 2018

I use Captivate 2019 to author and a Connect server owned by my company as the LMS. All output is now HTML5 for security reasons with flash.

I'd like to capture something as seemingly simple as the user's ID from the LMS but it's not happening.

Connectusers.com seems to be a pretty dead forum now but there was a person who had the same problem I do: Adobe Connect User Community

In that thread was a pointer to how to create a flash certificate that gets auto-populated with name, course, certificate number...all from Connect variables and listed those variables. I created a flash certificate based on that some years ago, it works great....but its flash.

Using those same Connect variables in Captivate, I get no response at all in an HTML5 project. In fact, for the Captivate variables for Student ID or Name, no response. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, the server needs something done to it, or....?

Would greatly appreciate some help with this.

I created a simple project to display a ton of variables:

Published it to my server, assigned it as curriculum, and here's the output:

I know absolutely nothing about Connect or how their variable hook in with Captivate, but the first thing I do when problems occur is open the Console panel in the browser to look for errors on the page. Have you tried that?
