Captivate 4 - Clicking back button on question slide takes me to next slide not previous slide.

I have my quiz preferences set to "user can skip quiz". When I click the back button I'm taken to the slides AFTER the quiz question, not the slide before. Help.

Please, which version do you use? If it is 6, exact version number.

Adobe Captivate 5 - Quiz stopping after leaving question slide to go backwards

I'm trying to force Captivate to do something I think it wasn't designed to do - Force the user to get 100% on a quiz. I've set the attempts to 'infinite' and customized the retry messages with little bits of information for the user. Currently, they can try the question as many times as they want until they get it correct but they cannot leave the slide even though there is a 'back' button available! I need them to be able to leave the question slide after attempting to answer the question, sort back through the information slides to learn the information, and return to the question slide to answer it correctly. The quiz stops entirely if you go backwards, then attempt to get back to the question slides.
Forcing them to retake the entire quiz is not an option as this will likely frustrate the user, especially as one of our presentations includes 100 questions. Even setting the failure levels to 3 is not good because eventually, someone will miss the question entirely and have to retake the quiz.
Any suggestions? Can this be done?
I have a short demo with all my settings if anyone wants to see it.

Hello,
Yep, you are bumping onto the limitations of the current default Quizzes. If you allow multiple attempts on Question level, the user will not be able to leave the slide without exhausting those attemps or having a correct answer. If you allow multiple attempts on Quiz level, the Retake button will delete all answers and the user has to redo the whole quiz.
The only way I found was by creating my own question slides. I even succeeded in making Quiz Retake function only for incorrect answers. This is however a lot of work and when I read the amount of questions you are providing...

Old topic: Refresh when user click back button

Yes yes, i know, this is old topic, which already discussed thoroughly in the forum,
But, pls read my question....
i try this:
res.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
res.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");
res.setDateHeader("max-age",0);
res.setDateHeader("Expires",0);
res.addHeader("Cache-Control", "no-store");
However, when i forward to a page, then click back button to the previous page, which have the code above, however, the page is still the old one, the page was not reloaded from server
Any suggestion? 1:57 am, my local time.......

I just use:
response.setHeader("Pragma","no-cache");
response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-store");
response.setDateHeader("Expires",0);I have tried this, still the same...what can i do? Any more workable solution?

Captivate 8 - click through buttons/smartshapes is incorrect

I have smart shapes that act as buttons on my slide, as well as an image button that is positioned in front (on top in the stacking order) of the smart shape (so it overlaps).
When I test and click the image button, it does not activate the image button action, but activates the smart shape action. As long as the smart shape is behind the image button, any click on the image button is being interpreted as a click on the smart shape instead. The screen design for the project that I am working on means I have no choice but to have elements like this overlap from time to time.
I have been getting this behavior consistently in Captivate for a while. Is this an active issue that the Captivate dev team is already looking into? Am I doing something wrong?

Having two interactive objects in the same location at the same time is a
bad idea. Do you really need that?

How do I get middle-click back button to open in a background tab?

When I middle-click on the back button a new tab loads with the contents of the previous page. How can I get this tab to load in the background?

Thanks, but I know about those, and none of them actually effect behaviour of tabs with the back button.

Cannot click back button on Internet Explorer,

Dear Sir,
In content Management of EP6 SP14, KM content we cannot click "back button" in IE menu. if we click back , it will show the error.
How to solve this problem.
Thank you and best regards,
Vimol

Hi Vimol,
you can not solve this problem. The browser functions 'back', 'forward' and 'refresh' do not work properly on SAP EP 6. That's why you find the navigation links and the portal history in the portal header.
There is a feature called 'External facing portal' or 'EFP' that solves your issue by rendering one HTML file for every portal page. But you'll have some restrictions concerning business packages, KM and collaboration when using EFP.
There are a lot of threads in SDN about EFP, but here is an entry point:
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/43/13fd52a5732ba9e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm">Implementing an external facing portal</a>
Please be aware that EFP comes with NW2004s SPS6

}The problem with even attempting to do this is that with today's browser capabilities, users can optionally choose to jump to a particular page in the browser history and this may not necessarily be the most recent page. In this case, you would also want to invalidate the user's session after already having been there (whatever page that may be). Then you have situations when the user may wish to jump back in history to external pages they were visiting before they reached your own site's pages. Then what happens when they start clicking forward, forward, etc... from there? This is why I prefer writing Swing Clients as alternatives to browser applications. There are soo many possible ways break web applications made for standard web browsers both maliciously and simply by accident or irregular user patterns. Regardless, this servlet would work based on the assumption that all the user(s) would "ever" do aside from moving logically forward is clicking on the browser's "back" button.

Clicking Back button twice in IE7 to get previos page in our WL portal.

Hello,
we are developing weblogic portal application.
And have noticed that on the all our pages(we have JPF and JSR portlets) we have to click Back button twice in Internet Explorer 7 to get previous page.
We haven't got such issue when we use FireFox, Opera or Chrome, please advice, what we can do to fix this issue.
Thank you very much!

Thank you, deepshet
Now I have discovered that weblogic generates url with fragment identifier at the second step.
When I call page for example News_page from previous page Main_page, I use the following link
http://localhost:7001/MyPortal/appmanager/TestPortal/TestDesktop?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=News_page
after loading (about 1-2 seconds) to url addeds fragment identifier *#wlp_news_page*, so the resulting page will be
http://localhost:7001/MyPortal/appmanager/TestPortal/TestDesktop?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=News_page*#wlp_news_page*
At this moment when I click back button in IE I will get
http://localhost:7001/MyPortal/appmanager/TestPortal/TestDesktop?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=News_page
for the first time.
And after my second click I will be returned to Main_page.
Please advice how can I avoid such behaviour?Is it possible to turn off fragment identifiers on portal?
Thanks

Unlike IE When back button is pressed it takes too long. pleas do something for that. thnx.

Unlike IE When back button is pressed it takes too long. pleas do something for that. I like firefox and i get to use the back button more often.
thnx

In order to be able to find the correct solution to your problem, we require some more non-personal information from you. Please do the following:
*Click the Firefox button at the top left, then click the ''Help'' menu and select ''Troubleshooting Information'' from the submenu. If you don't have a Firefox button, click the Help menu at the top and select ''Troubleshooting Information'' from the menu.
Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
*At the top of the page, you should see a button that says "Copy text to clipboard". Click it.
*Now, go back to your forum post and click inside the reply box. Press Ctrl+V to paste all the information you copied into the forum post.
If you need further information about the Troubleshooting information page, please read the article [[Use the Troubleshooting Information page to help fix Firefox issues]].
Thanks in advance for your help!

Captiave 2 - Adding Buttons to Question Slides

I need to use the Captivate Question Slide "maker" to create
interactive questions with navigation back to the "Jeopardy-esque"
main page. When doing so, the question slide maker prevents adding
buttons/navigation, etc.
Any work arounds, hints, suggestions?
Thanks...

Hi Beta Bob and welcome to our community
As you have seen, you cannot insert interactive objects
(Buttons, Click Boxes or Text Entry Boxes) on Question slides.
The only workaround I can think of is to sort of simulate the
question slide using these objects on a standard slide.

Inserting Buttons on Question Slides

Hi all,
I am on CP5 Mac. In my module, I immediately thrust the learner into a scenario. If they can do it, fine; if not, I want help to be available. My plan was to have image buttons on the slide where they could see a worked example or look at a job aid. I just tried inserting a button on the question slide so I could navigate to another screen to provide the help and now I'm seeing that CP5 won't allow me to add a button (or other standard objects) to a question slide. I've also tried copying and pasting a button from another slide and that doesn't work either.
How can I insert these additional navigation buttons on a question slide? I have made the quiz optional in Preferences.
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
If you can spare the time please submit this as a feature request. We really need to get this kind of quizzing functionality add to the next version of Adobe Captivate using the link I have included below.
Adobe Feature Request/Bug Report Form.
Whilst I am sure that Lilybiri solution using Advanced Actions is probably the best way forward since you need to report to an LMS. I thought I would point out that if you are comfortable working in Adobe Flash Professional & ActionScript along with Adobe Captivate variables, and you don't need to report the button interaction to an LMS, then you could create this button in Flash and insert this as an animation (Insert > Animation). Just bear in mind that with Adobe Captivate 5 you would need to using AS3 since Adobe Captivate 5 does not support AS2. Before Widgets were part of the Adobe Captivate feature set, this was one of the ways we used to add extra functionality to Captivate projects.
The use case is not that complicated, so let me write it out.
There is a quiz with, let's say, three questions. As user enters the module, they are allowed to see a worked example or jump into the quiz immediately to see if they already know enough to pass it. Most won't be able to pass the quiz right away though; that's why a training was created. To provide just-in-time support, there is an additional button on the each quiz question screen labeled "See a Worked Example." This idea of using worked examples as part of our training is strongly supported as a teaching tool by Clark and Mayer in e-Learning and the Science of Instruction (great book BTW). Anyway, this additional button appears on each of the quiz question screens. When clicked, the user jumps out of the quiz into the worked example. After they see the example, ideally, there is a button in the worked example labeled "Return to Quiz." This button jumps back to the quiz, preferably where they left off. Ideally, if the user chose to see the worked example before trying the quiz, the "Return to Quiz" button wouldn't display (i.e., it has to know that it's being accessed as a result of a jump from the quiz before it displays).
This approach allows the user to jump in and out of quizzes and would work well in a scenario-based training, which is what I am building.
Best regards,
Mark

How to add click box/button to QUIZ slides??

We have a basic quiz for our online course. At the top of the
quiz we have a navigation bar with next, back, main menu, help, etc
which we use a click box to make link.
However, when we're on a quiz slide the click box and button
option are grayed out. You can't access them at all. How can we fix
this?? We HAVE to have the top navigation be functional as it is
for the rest of the slides. Help!

I'm having the same general problem you are.
I got this response a few days ago:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=464&threadid=1374767
Its a little different question but I think the answer can be
applied to both: Its not in the program to allow users to fully
customize question slides. Unfortunate, but a reality I guess.

Suppressing Back Button on First Slide

I have a created a custom Playback Control with just the play
(=forward) and back buttons. My reviewers liked the results, but
criticised that the back button shouldn't appear on the first
slide. Is there any way to get around this? I am using Captivate
1.01.1418 and do not have any flash editing tools or
experience.

Hi HansHatton
Or...
You can visit fellow Adobe Community Expert Paul Dewhurst's
site and download his neat little widgets for hiding the playback
control and showing a hidden playback control.
You can visit Paul's site by clicking
this
ultra cool and super handy link.
If you think the widgets are cool and would like to see even
