Captivate 4 publishing for LMS

Hello,
First, sorry for my bad english : I'm french.
Please someone can help me : I do not can launch my captivate project on my LMS : the message written is : The archive is not standard to SCORM 2004 (3rd or 4th ed)
I've already check the folder that content several files but I don't no exactly what kind of files are needed.
I work with captivate 4 and my LMS are MOS and syfadis.
Of course I followed the user guide and I put a cross in "Zip files" and "export html"
I dont no why but I can't attached the pictures with all the files in the zip folder. If necessary, I'll try later.
I think my folder is exported as a courses and not as a resouces. Can I change that with a parameter?
Thanks in advance

Nico,
I'm not familiar with your particular LMS but some of these systems that I've worked with allow you to add individual lesson SCORMs as resources similar to adding a PPT deck or a PDF document reference.
For example in another LMS called Moodle, you can create a course in the LMS and then add resources by selecting the resource type from a drop-down. If you choose SCORM as the resource type, it will ask you to upload the SCORM file. This will be just a single Captivate lesson packaged as a SCORM. The LMS will create a link on the course main page that allows the participant to launch the SCORM content and play it in a browser.
You can also create a SCORM course in Moodle. But this only allows you to upload a Multi-SCO SCORM, in which case all the resource files (e.g. Docs, PDFs, PPTs) must be packaged inside the SCORM zip file.
Check to see if your LMS works in a similar way. See if under the Resources that you are allowed to add it offers the option to add a SCORM object. If it does. Just add individual Captivate SCORMs.
Just thought I'd mention this in case it was useful and allowed you to structure the course in your particular LMS more the way you wanted.

CP8 - How to embed a pdf into a captivate slide (for LMS publication)?

Hi,
How to embed a pdf into a captivate slide (for LMS publication)?
WebObject doesn't work...
Thanks

I accomplished this by publishing my PDF to a directory I called "PDFWebObjectEmbedFiles" on my webserver outside of where my published project lives.
For example...the PDF to embed lived at:
http://mydomain.com/PDFWebObjectEmbedFiles/file_name_of_PDF_to_embed.pdf
Then I went inside of Captivate and inserted the Web Object widget. I put the URL to my PDF inside the widget. Then it loads perfectly with no problem.
Hope this helps.

InDesign files to Captivate 8 for LMS????

Our training manuals are currently published in InDesign. We are implementing an LMS and using Captivate as the authoring tool. What is the best way to get these files into Captivate? Should I copy/paste into PPT and then convert to InDesign????? Anyone have any ideas?

Sounds like a re-think might be needed. If you are working with InDesign files they are probably mostly oriented around TEXT. You could take the ideas incorporated in the text and design and develop interactive learning courses in Captivate. But there isn't really any benefit in just taking the InDesign files and then dropping them into Captivate, because that doesn't really make them any better, so save yourself the trouble of trying to figure out how to do that.
To create something interactive, you could stay in InDesign and add interactivity there--but it won't necessarily allow you to accumulate user's scores and such. There is a good program in this on Lynda.com.
Or, you could, as I said, start from the content in the InDesign documents and create a scorable course in Captivate.
Either way, the solution won't be instant, and there will be a learning curve involved. Best not to rush when you also have to learn. Clarify your long term goals for the project, see if there's an ugly short term solution (i.e., just putting up pdfs of the InDesign files on the LMS), and then get to work on the "beautiful" solution in the time you've bought.

How to Prepare Captivate Content for LMS-recommendation

RodWard
This was a fantastic tutorial! Helped me tremendously. Thank you.
If you are having issues getting your Captivate stuff up on your LMS (if it accepts Captivate), this tutorial sets it out the steps you need to take VERY clearly and completely, which someone like me (non-techie) really needs. I highly recommend it!
Now that we're in 8, responsive, I wonder about one step--and that is selecting Flash as my output mode. I imagine (?) there are now other choices (html 5?) there to choose from. Prior to this tutorial, I've never gotten that far, so I'll see it soon, I hope!

Selecting Flash (swf) is not an option for a responsive project.
And yes, Rod's guidlines are very good.

Need interactive Captivate files published for use on computers and tablets, including iPad

I need to publish interactive Captivate files for e-learning to work on tablets, including ipad. LMS supports a variety of formats, but I have yet to find the "magic settings" to run on iPad. Has anyone had success in doing this?

Do you know what the .htaccess code was for? I am uploading to an LMS, and get no error message on tablets, no message at all. Just blank. Does this .htaccess code apply to LMS, do you know?

Captivate 7 App Publisher for Mac

Hi,
I'm experiencing some issues with trying to use the App Publisher for Captivate 7 on a Mac. Things do not show up like demonstrated in this video from adobe (Package the HTML5 content for devices using Adobe Captivate 7 App Packager). Here's a quick screencast on what I'm running into.
Also, here are the details on how the project was published prior to importing into the App Publisher.
Any ideas or solutions?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Anjaneai,
Thanks for the ideas. The dark gray border at the top and bottom are ok, the problem is the light gray border I get. I tried the Skin Editor, but it only removed the top and bottom dark gray borders, not the gray.
I can't use the Flash on the slide because I need them to be HTML 5 compliant.
Here's a link to my blastoff animation files that were exported from Flash using the Toolkit for CreateJS.

Still struggling with Captivate 6, Oracle LMS and SCORM 2004

Still can't get this course tracking with scores. Herewith the screen shot. Does anyone know if the settings I have chosen for the quiz are correct. When I load the published course into the lms and test it, it shows "not attempted" prior to opening it and it gives the final score on the last quiz slide. There is a slide after the last quiz slide. It still seems not to transfer the scores to the lms. I recently found out that we have Scorm 2004 version 4, so I changed the configuration setting as it was defaulted to version 3, but that still hasn't helped with the scores. Under the start and end settings, I have chosen close project for the end. I have been through a week of torture with this course! Please can anyone assist as I'm not sure what to do anymore!

Oh no. Now I'm panicking! I will try it. Thanks

This sounds like you have some major issue in this course project file.
Breaking it up into smaller files might not fix your issue.
I suggest you create a new blank CPTX project file, add one true/false quiz question, set it to report to LMS with the settings you have above, publish as a single SCO package zip file, and upload to both your LMS and SCORM cloud.
If this file doesn't even work, your installation of Captivate would have to be suspect and nothing you do in course module is going to fix that until you work out what the problem is. If this very simple single-SCO lesson plays OK and reports successfully to the LMS, then we need to figure out what is lacking in your current file.
It could be that your current file has somehow become corrupted. See the suggestions here for how to debug general corruption issues:

Cp 8.0.1,What difference between "Publish for Devices" and "Publish for Devices (App) ?

i think "Publish for Devices" and "Publish for Devices (App). it same.
"Publish for Devices (App)" for easy connect phonegap.
"Publish for Devices" for advance user.
not sure you understand but i only share.

Publish for Devices (App) is to publish your captivate project as a native application using PhoneGap API.
Publish for Devices is the normal html publish but for Responsive project. It will publish your project as html content and later you can upload it on some LMS or WebServer to view the content on devices using Browser. It has not nothing to do about advance users.
In both the cases the content will change according to the size of the viewing device.

How to publish for both swf and html5

I have a course that I need to publish for swf and html5, and have the system automatically detect which browser the user has. Can someone help me figure out how to do this? I am not a very technical user. I am using Captivate 6. Thanks
Danielle

You just have to check both SWF and HTML when publishing. Load up everything to a server. Have a look at this video, some more in the same channel:

Captivate and Canvas LMS by Instructure

Hi
Does anyone know if there is any info or procedures for connecting Captivate to Canvas LMS by Instructure?
Can it be done using LTI?
Any info whatsoever would be helpful.
Thank you!
Matt

Thanks Tom. Have you any experience building a middleware app that would allow Captivate to talk to Canvas? Or have you heard of anyone doing this?
I received this response from Canvas:
"You will most likely have to build your own app (middleware) that can bridge the communication gap between Adobe Captivate and LTI. What is your programming language of preference? We do a lot of ruby at Instructure, so we have a lot of example ruby apps on github, if you wanted to use one of them as a place to start."

Captivate 5 for Mac - keyboard commands not working

I just fired up Captivate 5 for Mac for the first time and am trying to create a recording, but the command+enter key does not stop the recording and instead captures a screenshot. In fact, every command combination I try does that and the only way to stop the recording is to click on the icon in the status bar at the top. What am I doing wrong? I have searched through the forum and help and don't see anyone else having this problem.

If you're talking about keystroke shortcuts in published browser output, the issue is not Adobe's fault but the fact that browsers get first pick of the keystrokes and assign them to their own browser functions.
There is no way to control what the browser will or will not let through from within the Captivate content. Each end user's browser can have different settings.
My advice is to stop stressing about using keystrokes. There are some things that you can achieve when building an application that cannot be replicated exactly when building a browser-based simulation of that same application.

Captivate 6 for Mac too buggy for use (screen corruption, mouse/audio instability)

Corrupt Screens. The main problem is corrupt screens (visually jumbled, with elements of previous screens). The corrupt screens appear in both Preview in a Web Browser and in a published project. I've observed the problem when I capture website interactions (using either Safari or Firefox). It might be isolated to web browsers and not other applications, but I'm not sure. The project slides themselves look fine. The problem occurs during the transition to an HTML/SWF-based preview or published file.
Unfortunately the problem appears to be intermittent and unpredictable: one Preview (in Web Browser) might show one corrupt screen; a subsequent Preview (in Web Browser) might show four corrupt screens (after making no changes to the Captivate file). It appears to be related to various timeline factors (mouse position, mouse duration). I was able to temporarily eliminate the problem in one project file by making sure all mouse elements had a 2/10th second gap before the end of the slide and were no longer than 2 seconds long. But in a later test, controlling for these variables did not work.
There are two other related bugs that occur in Preview or publish:
Mouse. If I move the mouse object from its original position on the timeline, say, from the end of the slide to a position just before, and then move it back to the end of the slide, the result is faulty mouse behavior. It moves very slowly over the first part of its arc, then either skips suddenly to the destination or doesn't complete the arc at all when the slide advances to the next slide.
Audio. Sometimes the audio for a single slide will not play. This is intermittent and unpredictable, like the screen corruption bug. The problem sometimes goes away after moving the mouse on the timeline slightly, but this isn't reliable.
In any case, moving the mouse away from the end of the slide is not a desirable workaround, even when it does work. The delay between the "click" and the slide transition looks sloppy, and is contrary to the expected mouse behavior (to quickly trigger a slide transition).
I have been working with two people at Adobe tech support, but we have not found a solution or isolated the problem. I've also documented several keystroke bugs on this forum. So, after nearly 3 weeks of aggravation, I have concluded that Captivate 6 for Mac has serious bugs and is not reliable. I am forced to go back to Captivate 5.5.

I have experienced the exact same issues. I've republished files over and over again with unpredictable results. Missing audio, ghost backgrounds, visual artifacts. That doesn't even begin to address the other major annoyances like the stage jumping around when you do things like adjust element properties, audio editor opening up half off the screen so that it has to be manually dragged back EACH TIME.
I'm totally frustrated and disgusted with the quality of this product. I don't care one bit about all the new features it has, I just want the featues that are there to work right and work reliably. Today alone, I lost over 4 hours of productivity to resolving buggy software issues... I'm not exaggerating, 4 HOURS !. This is absolutely unacceptable. The software does NOT work well at all. Adobe should be horrified with how bad this software performs. I can't say enough negative things about this without using expletives that are well deserved.
After purchssing adobe software for 25 years, I am running out of patience. They are too big and too focused on new features instead of just making the ones they have work well. I used to love Adobe more than any other software company. That is definitely no longer the case. I have no intention of up doing any more upgrades after this. If these APPALLING blatant issues are not resolved before they release version 7, I will not upgrade and may well consider enlisting others in a class action suit. Fire all the developers who have a hand in this. Fire all the managers who signed off on it's readiness. Go back to the drawing board and make this right.
I fully intend on posting this in every forum I can find. This software has cost me too much time and money.

Publish for review not working

I am trying to use the publish for review feature in Captivate cs 4. When I select this option the program takes some time and then displays this screen:
But as you can see never displays the view output option- nor does it ever open my mail client as the help file says it should. I don't have a progress bar or any other action- it just seems to stop here.
eventually it does put a .crev file in the same directory of the project ( If I leave this dialog box open forever). But when I try to open this file I get this error:
Help Please. I am new and so I'm hoping this is something simple I am not doing right.

Hi again
Sorry my suggestion failed to directly address the issue. But I'm pleased you were able to resolve it!
Ever so nice of you to post the workaroud too. That way others may benefit.
Sending good Karma thoughts your way!

Optimizing captivate file for different screen resolution

Hi,
I've a problem in optmizing the captivate file for different screens like laptop,netbook and pc. In PC's and laptops, this is not a major issue as the size of the screen is large. But when we play the captivate generated swf file in a netbook, the whole website gets resized to fit in to the resolution of the screen except the captivate file.Captivate file gets truncated in such a way that, the user can read only half of the slide.
Thanks in advance
Parvathy

One thing you can try is adjusting the swf dimensions manually. I haven't found a way to do it in Cp. We had a similar problem with some eLearning we built that all our testers used just fine. But once someone undocked their laptop and was off their desktop monitor, had the same problem you describe, where the bottom of the movie was cut off.
Once you publish the files, open the .htm file with notepad or your text/html editor of choice.
Look for a line that looks something like this:
var so = new SWFObject(strURLFile + strURLParams, "Captivate", "1100", "798", "10", "#CCCCCC");
or
var so = new SWFObject("filename.swf", "Captivate", "1600", "1200", "10", "#CCCCCC");
Change those numbers in quotes to 100%, like this:
var so = new SWFObject("filename.swf", "Captivate", "100%", "100%", "10", "#CCCCCC");
save the .htm
My experience has been it will adjust the swf so it fits either the height or width of the display, whichever is shorter. That is, it will either fill the top to bottom OR side to side, but keep the swf in proportion.
hope that helps.

Flash version detection with Captivate published files?

Doe sanyone know if the Captivate publishes their HTML file
that includes a flash detector of the user's system when they first
attempt to activate a piece of Cpativate content.?
I have a customer who wants to know how (most automatic )
method to have their Captivate contnet viewers systmes checked for
the approriate Flash player and feedback message to alert them tof
the need and how to download.

Hi jonturkle
I'm going to crawl way out here on this shaky little limb and
say that this is factored into the mix. I say that because I
recently saw a post where someone needed to output Captivate in
Flash 6 format. Captivate 3 outputs in Flash 7 format as a minimum.
They were saying that when they attempted to run the Captivate
files, the users were being prompted to install a newer version of
the Flash player.
Cheers... Rick
