Captivate 4 not Zipping Published content if SCORM options turned on!

I am having a HUGH issue... Captivate 4 is not Zipping published files if the SCORM options are turned on... I've been using captivate for years, it's not rookie mistake.
When you enable the scorm options and publish it doesn't zip the published content. If you disable SCORM it zips them just fine.
PLEAS HELP SOMEONE!!!! Adobe support is not help at all... one actually told me to return the product.

If that's the only issue, why not just zip the resulting content yourself? Both Mac and Windows offer built-in methods for creating .zip files...
IS that the only issue?
Does your lesson have scored interactions?
You've setup the preferences/tracking correctly?
.zip is checked in the publish options? And it just doesn't .zip?

Published content as SCORM 1.3 (2004) - view Table of Contents?

I've published some UPK content (A module containing 13 topics) created in 3.6.1 as SCORM 1.3 (2004).
I have zipped up the content in the Publishing Content > LMS folder so that the imsmanifest file is in the root of the .zip. I have uploaded this file into an LMS (Activate LMS) but when I then launch the content from the LMS I do not see the TOC page and can only complete the first topic in the module. When I complete this Topic I can't then exit it (apart from closing the entire window) and this then doesn't update the module as being started.
The URL that the LMS is loading points only to the topic that does load.
Why is this and how can I configure the content so that the LMS points to the TOC page and not just a single topic.
Thanks,
Greg

The best way to import from my experience into an LMS is to import at 1.2. do not use the zip file. unzip the file to your LMS server, then import the .xml 1.2 manifest file.
if you are using 11.0. select show navigation buttons. This shows the entire structure of my file.

Captivate 5.5 published files are not visible in Fire Fox or open in new window.

When I publish and post Captivate 5.5, the HTML or the swf files do not display in Fire Fox (latest version) without forcing the file to open in a new window (if it displays at all). If it does work, the Flash security blocks the swf on an ugly view until the user clicks.
I thought it was because I have to assign a direct URL to each component, but all of the other Captivate sites I have reviewed have the same issue when viewing in Fire Fox.
IE will display after the active x is authorized (I can live with that).
You Tube and other Flash display properly in Fire Fox, just not Captivate products.
I have disabled off all plugins, modified the protected settings, and everything I could find listed in the Fire Fox help. I have installed a previous version of Flash and Shockwave Player. Short of reinstalling windows, it is not working and that will not help because the published content is not visible on any other machine in the office or at home.
The files are in a Portal, so I cannot share them unless you are in the DoD and have an AKO or DKO account.
However, here is another example of the Captivate not working.
https://clc.dau.mil/games (this displays on some computers, but not all)
http://www.hartisd.net/pages/uploaded_files/Assignment_Search.mht (After allowing the mht, this displays in IE)
I am not sure if it has something to do with the other 2 published xml files that are not directly referenced in the html, but I just need either the swf or html to display in the iframe without forcing another window to display and without a lot of dependecy issues with other add-ons in Fire Fox.
- Thanks!

Any of the DAU games, if they display. It is a government site, so they have the standard gov garbage (stuff not working like certificates), but nothing is harmful nor can they do anything to track other than the current session.
It is kind of weird how the content is displayed... It is not an intranet, it goes to a limited access portal. When I store content, it uses an absolute path instead of relative path. Very aggrevating when using many of the tools for non-programmers (like me), and probably more aggrevating for programmers.
Whether I point directly to the .swf or to the generated HTML, the content displays in IE, but not in FF.
It may be a combination of FF and Captivate. FF seems rather flaky in dealing with swf files. There is the consideration for add-ons, but I tried on a newly imaged computer and it still was not working. Even after going through all of the FF steps to get it to work.
Basically we had to create a new HTML file to display the content because the Captivate published files don't work. However, the new HTML does not reference the XML files.
When I publish, I get 5 different files, .swf, .htm, .js, and 2 .xml. When I dig through the code (once again, not a programmer, soo I may be missing something), even round tripping to Flash, I do not see how the .xml files are referenced at all.
These may be different topics, not sure, it came up because I am trying to get a simple solution from the product that can be easily transferred to our production servers and available for Solders to access.
- Thanks

Adobe Captivate not publishing results

Hi,
We appear to be having a problem with Captivate where it's not publishing results to a network drive.
We have applied the fix as details below:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.htm l
3rd tab along, click 'Always Allow'
Add
T:\
\\my-network-path\tdrive\
I have tried this however its not publishing results.
Does anyone have any ideas on why this would not be working?
Thanks

The Flash Global Security settings govern whether or not content on a LAN or remote drive will play properly for the user that adds this location to their trusted settings. However, it doesn't necessarily give you PERMISSION TO UPLOAD published content to that location.
If you're having difficulty getting Captivate content published TO the location (as opposed to playing it from there) then you need to investigate whether or not you have write permissions for that folder. This is network administration thing, not usually connected to Flash security. It could also be that there is some restriction built into your IT network that will only allow certain filetypes to be uploaded.
Bottom line is that you may need to check with your IT dudes.

I am confused. You said till you Erases all contents and setting yu could not turn it and iTunes did not see it. How could you Erase all Contents and Setting if you could not turn it on?

Slides in a Captivate 7 Table of Contents is not Navigable

This project is navigable from the table of contents until the final two slides. You cannot click on the last two slides (Slides 45 and 46) to view while in the course.
- I have hidden the Quiz Review Slide (Slide 47) because we do not want the results displayed. This does not seem to be the issue. When I unhide the slide, I am still unable to click our last two slides "Practice Session" and "Exposure Control Plan."
- I have selected and unselected "Self-Paced Learning" in the TOC Settings
- I have deleted the content slides and created new slides
Please advise on the next step and thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hi all
One thing that will prevent the TOC from behaving properly is if you have question slides sprinkled through the project here and there. If you configured the Quiz settings so that every slide MUST be answered, you won't be able to navigate beyond the first unanswered question. Sometimes this makes you think the TOC is broken, when in fact, it's simply respecting the setting and not allowing the user to navigate beyond the unanswered question.

I'm using Captivate 8 and publishing courses to our LMS, Cornerstone OnDemand. As an end user, I can complete a course using IE, but cannot complete the same course when using Chrome. Is there a setting that I am missing for other browsers?

guess what it says java file. So yes i'm sure. Sarcasm. Not the best way to encourage a total stranger to help you. Then there's
Sorry if i wasn't more clear but was that response needed?No it wasn't needed, but I'm not the one asking for help so I have the luxury of not worrying too much about it. It's extremely frustrating trying to drag relevant information out of someone, and makes one less inclined to bother.
Anyways, there's still nothing in this thread that actually explicitly says "there is a file called VolcanoApp.java in the directory where I'm running javac from" and I really can't be bothered banging my head against the wall any longer. You've made a silly mistake, or a false assumption. We all do it from time to time. My advice is, take a break, go for a walk and re-visit this in a while. You'll probably spot the mistake right away.

Problem in zip generation when exporting Publisher content

Hi all
On AIX when exporting, the publisher content size of the generated zip located in ptcs/6.4/settings/migration/ is changing between exports.
For example, the first time export generates a 1234 bits file and the second (same content is exported) generates a 1238 bits file.
does anybody know why?

Why does my content not get published on my website?

I published a website with Webmatrix to Azure using the "Download publish profile". Everything went well and I didn't encounter any errors. When I went to the azure URL that I created or click on that link, the URL displays the following message:
This web site has been successfully created
There's nothing here yet, but Windows Azure makes it simple to publish content with GIT, TFS, FTP or your favorite development tool such as Visual Studio or Webmatrix
When I click on the Azure Dashboard I notice that under "usage overview" it states under the "File system storage" that I'm using 18.09 MB of the 1024MB limit. This to me is an indication that the files/content were successfully transferred from Webmatrix
to Azure, but it did not get published to the URL.
When I click on the little "?" on Azure, it mentions something about uploading the content with "web deploy", yet there is no icon anywhere on Azure that I can find to upload anything.
Is there anything that I must do to get my content to show up at the URL or did something went wrong when I downloaded or installed Azure? Thanks
PS: I'm just using the 90 day trail period and have Vista

Hi Thanks for the reply
When I go to the link that you supplied, I get the exact same message: Website has been created but there is nothing here. I have now uploaded 10 sites from Webmatrix to Azure. All 10 websites uploaded fine and I received a message that it was
successfully published. In Azure the status of all the websites are "running", but if you click on the URL, it shows the message above.
Also, when I click on the FTP Hostname link for any particular site, it takes me to a login screen. After logging in I get an Alert "530 user cannot log in"
Also, is there a way to access the Wordpress root files such as wp-content from anywhere? Thanks

Publishing to Skillport - SCORM/Reporting settings?

I'm currently publishing eLearning courses to Skillport using Adobe Presenter 7. These courses are simply slides with narration and a few embedded CP demos and no quizzing (I'm basing course completion on the end user viewing 100% of the slides). I am publishing to SCORM 1.2 RTE with the following Reporting options selected:
SCORM 1.2
Report Slide Views Only - 100%
Report Status as defined by report data
Report Score to LMS as Score
Only Report the score
These seem to be the only settings that track anything so far. The problem is, as soon as I launch a course, it is marked as 100% complete. Ideally I'd like to be able to track if the user only views 1/2 of the course (it should show 50%) or 80% etc. Does anyone have experience publishing courses to Skillport or know of any settings I can try? I've tried multiple combinations and can't seem to get anything to work (except the settings above which marks completion at 100% right away). Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance.

Simul8,
I'm not familiar w/ Skillport...but I do have experience w/ Docent, Blackboard, and GeoLearning LMS's.
I've also seen this kind of question come up a lot in the last several months, so if you don't mind, I'm going to steal one of my responses from a different post and copy it here...and who knows, perhaps something useful will come of it.
That said, even though you don't have any questions in your presentation, I'd strongly recommend adding a Quiz element anyway. The reason is that specific pieces of information can be communicated to an LMS that may not be available unless a Quiz is used. And remember: a Quiz is nothing more than a "container" or a "shell" that a presentation uses when you have question slides in your content.
While we're at it, here's something you can check: if your presentation is quiz-free, then most likely you won't see the "scorm_support" folder in the root of your published project. That will all change once you add a Quiz to your deck.
So let's try this: Get back into your deck and go into the Quiz Manager. Add a Quiz, and for now, set the Pass/Fail to 0. Leave everything else alone and click the Reporting tab and use the following settings:
Enable reporting and select "SCORM".
Immediately after that, click the Manifest button to toggle for SCORM 1.2.
You already have "slide views only" set, so that's okay.
Report Pass/Fail: "defined by report data"
At this point, Report Score / Reporting Level shouldn't matter because of the former selections/settings, so you can leave those alone.
Again, all we did is add a Quiz to the deck—there are no question slides to worry about! Having done all this, save and publish your deck and then test it on Skillport. If you determine that Skillport is throwing some wierd data (for example you might see: cmi.suspend_data = "not attempted" or cmi.total_time = "P"), then you may need to do some additional homework. If that's the case, what you'll need to do is manually update a variable in the scorm_support.js file (it can be found in the scorm_support folder in your published content's folder).
Look for the following line:
var g_nAPI = 0; // type of API to start searching for; allowable values: 0 - SCORM 2004; 1 - SCORM 1.2 (or 1.1)
Even though your content may have been published for SCORM 1.2, the variable g_nAPI is probably set for SCORM 2004. To overcome that problem, change that value to 1 to get the LMS communicating properly between Presenter and Skillport. I've run into a similar problem when launching Presenter content on a Blackboard system. Not fun. And I don't know why this happens, especially when you toggle for SCORM 1.2....but it does and it's frustrating.
Anyway, sorry for the long rant...and again, although I'm not specfically familiar w/ Skillport, I think the above will help.

My HTML5 project does not work in moodle with scorm enabled

Hi,
Wondering if anyone can help me with this, I have published my Captivate 6 project in HTML5 with SCORM 1.2 enabled but when I upload it to moodle and try to play the project on an ipad I just get a black screen. When I try to play the project through my browser on my pc it works fine, I have also created previous projects which have HTML5 but no SCORM and they work fine on the ipad. I have also checked that I have the neccessary browser settings on the ipad and it is all up to date. I know that adobe says that the projects should work with HTML5 and SCORM so can anybody help me with what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks,
Liz

Hi xswqazi09 and RodWard,
Thank you for your reply.
@Rodward: By showing the above mentioned setting I wanted to test that if these settings works on xswqazi09's end or not. However we can customize settings in captivate based upon our requirement.
@xswqazi09: At my end i din't customize any settings inside scorm just published the output through captivate with the settings (in captivate) as shown above and then uploaded the content to see the result on i-pad deivice.
Thanks

Button hyperlinks work in project preview but not in published .swf

Captivate 6, button hyperlinks work in project preview but not in published .swf, the cursor changes the “the hand” but the hyperlink does not redirect.
Any ideas?
Like I said my buttons work great in preview mode after publishing, one click and the PDF opens in a new browser window. Open the project through the published .swf files and the links will not work.
Using Captivate 6 on WIndows 7

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Once your project published, add the .swf file in Flash Global Setting :
1) Right Click on the content (Published .swf file) and click on Global Settings
2) Go to Advanced Tab and Click on Trusted Location Settings (Scrool down to see this button)
3) Click on "Add" button and then "Add file", browse for the Captivate 6 published file and click on OK
4) Launch the .htm file again (Location where Captivate publish your project)
Hope this helps !!
Thanks,

Captivate crashes on publishing HTML5 output with a widget that uses "requires" tag in oam.xml

Has anyone else run into this problem?
I have an HTML5 widget that depends on certain (small) image files.
When I try to wrap those image files in the oam.xml file via the <requires> tag, the widget places on the Captivate stage just fine, but Captivate crashes on publish.
Remove the <requires> elements (but leave the empty tag) and it publishes just fine, but the images don't make it into the published folder.

Approval Workflow does not update the Content Approval status if started automatically

Hi,
I’m using a simple Approval Workflow associated with
Content Approval on site pages. It works fine when I set it to be started manually (by using
Allow this workflow to be manually started by an authenticated user with Edit Item permissions
option) and on the completion of the workflow the
Content Approval status is updated accordingly. But when I set it to be started automatically (by using
Start this workflow when a new item is created
/ Start this workflow when an item is changed
options), it does not updates the Content Approval status. Note that I’ve set the
Update the approval status after the workflow is completed (use this workflow to control content approval)
option to true.
Regards

Hello,
It is recommended to select "Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item" when you want to use the workflow to manage content approval for
a library.
According to the Notes for “Enable Content Approval” option in
this reference:
If you are using this Approval workflow to manage content approval (moderation) for a library, and you selected the Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version
of an item check box on the Add a Workflow page..
If you did not select the Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item check box on the Add a Workflow page because you do not want this workflow to
be the default content approval workflow for a library, you can select the Update the approval status (use this workflow to control content approval) check box to make this workflow a secondary content approval workflow that specific users can
start manually.
That means having an approval workflow start automatically when a document is changed or created is not a good practice when you want to use the workflow to manage
content approval for a library. You should either select "Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item" or give users the option to start the workflow manually at the time they want to submit for an approval.
Thanks & Regards.
