Creating a Leaderboard / Extracting Variables from a Project

Hi All, I hope someone can offer some advice or point me at a tutorial. I am starting to dabble with Variables in Captivate using advanced actions etc. I am looking to create a piece of learning which tracks choices made in the module and provides the user with a score based on those choices. I have advanced actions updating a variable which I then present to the user at the end and in my practice module this is working.
What I would like to do is encourage some competition by showing a leaderboard of other users scores to drive people on. I thought that if I captured the users name at the beginning of the module and then took that value and their score that would be enough. What I don't know how to do (if its possible) is to either create a leaderboard within the module that would update itself and show to new learners OR can I take the name and value out of the module somehow and present externally in a leaderboard.
Im no programmer so any ideas would need to be fairly simple to execute, I plan to host the module on a Moodle based LMS. If that helps with possible ideas.
Does anyone have any ideas / past experience with something like this? If  I can provide further info to assist then please let me know. I appreciate any help.
James

Jay,
What you would need to do is store data about user scores OUTSIDE your Captivate module.  Captivate 8 has no built in functionality to achieve this without using some kind of database-driven system such as an LMS. 
Other user's scores can be stored in the LMS database (that's after all what LMSs are designed to do) but extracting data about those other users and displaying it inside each and every Captivate module session as a leader board would require custom programming.
You'd need some kind of scripting technology on the LMS side that was able to run queries against the LMS database and pull the data, then more custom scripting to send that data to your end user's Captivate session. It's not going to be a trivial exercise.

  • How can I pass variables from one project to another using Javascript?

    Hi all, I am trying to do this: let learners take one course and finish a quiz. Then based on their quiz scores, they will be sent to other differenct courses.
    However, I wish keep track on their previous quiz scores as well as many other variables.
    I found this nice widge of upload/download variables by CPguru (http://www.cpguru.com/2011/05/18/save-and-load-data-widget-for-adobe-captivate-4-and-adobe -captivate-5/). However, this widget works by storing variables from one project in local computer and then upload it to another project.
    My targeted learners may not always use the same computer though, so using this widget seems not work.
    All these courses resided in a local-made LMS which I don't have access to their code. Therefore, passing variables to PHP html files seems not work.
    Based on my limited programing knowledge, I assume that using Javascript to pass variables may be the only possible way.
    Can someone instruct me how to do this?
    Thank you very much.

    If you create two MIDlet in a midlet suite, it will display as you mentioned means you can't change the display style.

  • Extracting variable from a java code

    i am currently doing a proj that require me to identify and extract all declared variable from a given java file
    is there an api in java that can extract the variabes?
    or is there a algorithm to detect and extract??
    i was tinking of taking all word before the equal sign..but that is not a foolproof soln..
    any suggestion?

    Some sort of regex I guess. I think the general rules would be.
    - exclude lines that are methods signatures or class declarations
    - if the line begins with more than one word (by which I mean there is whitespace) before then the last word before either ; or = is the name of the variable
    - you'll have to do something with commas.
    I think.
    Examples
    Fruit fruit;
    private Fruit fruit;
    protected Fruit[] fruits;
    Fruit fruit = new Fruit();All those match the rules I described. Good luck.

  • Extracting audio from premier project is not automatically opening in audition .How to reset this

    I was  using the feature of extracting audio from a time line in Premier for working on noise reduction and so on .It used to open automatically on choosing
    " EDIT CLIP IN AUDITION"  and on "saving" it was ready in Premier for further action. Now this is not happening. What happened and how do I reset this feature please?

    Not a reply but some more input. The culprit is not Safari but iChat, which I discovered just now, having run the app and quit after the person I was inviting wasn't available. I'm grateful for anyone who shed some light on this for me.

  • How to create a PR for BOM from a Project (WBS, Network or Activity) ?

    Hello All,
    Project Structure:
    Project Defination
                1 level WBS
                           2 level WBS
                                 Network (Supply of Material for Sub station)
                                                Activity (Procurement of materials) Internal

                                                                          Component 1
                                                                          Component 2
                                                                          Component 3..................
    Now i want to directly create a PR for this BOM and its components as well and using this PR i want to create a PO and procure the materials against the project.
    Can any one help me in this regard.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Sudarshan.

    Hello Sukhveer,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I have maintained in Material master MRP views and is also relevant for MRP.
    Also at the time of entering the BOM main materail, i am entering the item categery as L and exploding the BOM by going through the path:
    Go to Activty materail components, select the BOM main materail, now in the menu goto EDIT --> Component ---> Explode BOM.
    The component materails are getting exploded under the BOM main material, but the item categery of the main item is changing from L to T (Text item) and the PR's are created for all the component items individually after i save the project.
    Regards,
    Sudarshan.

  • Extract Variables from Powershell Script

    Hey Guys
    I am building a workflow that sync's active directory to the IAC database and i am looking to make it as efficient as possible by reducing the amount of powershell scripts I use into one and then utilise the powershell variables to get what i need.
    Is it possible to extract the stored variables into a workflow variable as opposed to using the output of the powershell statement?
    Has anyone else built a workflow that sync's users to a DB that runs efficiently possible on the when modified date at the moment mine takes 28 minutes to sync 200 users.
    Matt

    From a design perspective, I would suggest to use the Generic OLEDB database adapter.  There is an OleDB provider for Active Directory called ADsDSOObject. You can find it through a search on the Microsoft site.  It may be installed as a part of standard Windows or .Net.  Not sure. If you could get this registered on the PO server, you would be able to do a select and use the output as a native table instead of Powershell output parsing.
    Powershell tends to be non-performant.  Definitely I would caution against calling PowerShell repeatedly in a loop.

  • Calendar prompt for Date variable from bex

    Hi All,
    I have a Bex query where I have a variable on 0CALDAY
    - Customer exit (i_step = 1 to populate with current date)
    - Single value
    - Mandatory
    I created universe on this query and in webI selection screen i do see the variable prompt.
    I am not able to see the current date populated automatically since exit values are not populated to WebI at runtime.
    My problem is that in WebI selection screen we get list of date values from the info provider instead of Calendar prompt
    where user can enter the values directly.
    I am currently on BO XI 3.1 SP3.
    Is there any specific setting in Universe or bex query which is required to get this Calendar prompt instead of list of values for dates?
    Note: When we were on SP1 the universe created then had same variable from bex and it still shows us Calendar prompt but ever since we upgraded to SP3 for the query splitter functionality we not able to get the calendar prompt for date variable in new universe we create
    Thanks
    Ritesh

    Yep.
    Now tell me how you want to show that Prompt @ WebI report level.
    My problem is that in WebI selection screen we get list of date values from the info provider instead of Calendar prompt
    where user can enter the values directly. Exactly, i didn't get this??
    @Prompt:
    You have flexibility to show options like:
    Mono/Multi: User can select Single value or Multiple.
    BW Variable: Same we have (Single/Multiple)
    Free/Constrained: User can Enter his/her value directly or No change option.
    BW Variable: By defalut you will get this, once you made it to Optional input.
    Persistent/Not_Persistent: Refreshed report has to show last selected value means use Persistent otherwise Not_P.
    By seeing the Prompt syntax , I can say your Variable is after Customer Exit, Correct??
    Workaround for your Problem is:
    <FILTER KEY="ZV_DATE"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Date (Previous Day)','A','Date\LovDate (Previous Day)Base',mono,primary_key)"/></CONDITION></FILTER>
    You have to remove that Date class and objects from prompt syntax. Because of that it showing up LOV's not calendar.
    Like:
    <FILTER KEY="ZV_DATE"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Date (Previous Day)','A',',mono,primary_key)"/></CONDITION></FILTER>
    Why, It should be blank??
    Because Date needs no class\object to show up, by default you will get Calendar on the fly.
    Hope you got my point.
    Thank You!!

  • Can I take a frame from my project and use it as a custom menu background with CS4 and its Encore

    My project is edited in CS4.
    I moved it to Encore CS4.
    I don't want to use any of the supplied menu templates in CS4 Encore.
    I was hoping CS4 would be all I needed to create custom menus using scenes from my project.
    My question is: Can I take a frame from my project and use it as a custom menu background with CS4 and its built in Encore or do I need some other element from the Adobe catalog to make these custom chapter menus and sub-menus?
    Thanks Jim

    OK, I'm back. Here are my steps for creating Custom Menus with PS, En and PrPro:
    In PrPro, move the CTI (Current Time Indicator) to the desired Frame. Check Frames on either side, with the Program Monitor’s Magnification to 100%, or maybe even 200% (you’ll need to scroll, but get a really clear picture). You want the clearest Frame in that area. With AME, in CS4, you’ll want to Export that Frame as .TIFF, or .BMP. I use .TIFF for this.
    Now, for a caveat. When you Import this Exported Frame into Photoshop, be sure to check the specs., especially the PAR. You may have to use Image>PAR to adjust this to match your Project’s specs. Or, all might be perfect - just check this out.
    Now, at this point, I choose the Library Menu, Blank, so that everything is setup. One can create the Menu from scratch, but careful attention needs to be paid to the exact naming conventions. At the very least, unless you’ve done this dozens of times before, use that Blank Menu, or similar as a guide, so you get things done, as they must be done.
    Using that Blank Menu, just drag the Layer from your Exported Frame to your Menu image. It will appear above the black Background.
    Add, or manipulate your Button Layer Sets, as is required, keeping them together. Remember that Button #1 will be the Button Layer Set, that is lower down in the Layers Palette. This can play a roll with Button Routing, back in Encore. Lower Button Layer Sets will have lower Button numbers.
    Now, I always rename my Button Layer Sets, keeping the required characters - just changing the name. I also do all of my Button text in PS, and make sure to turn OFF Sync Button Names.
    When done, Save_As .PSD, and then Import_As_Menu into Encore. Note: if you start with the Blank Menu, you can choose Edit in Photoshop, and then when done in PS, you just need to Save, and it will update in Encore. This is a personal workflow choice. I do the Edit in Photoshop route, but it is not necessary. One just needs to Import the resulting .PSD into Encore with Import_As_Menu, so that Encore does all the things that it needs to and recognizes the .PSD as a Menu.
    When deciding what to base your Menu on, remember that you can "populate" your Menu with Buttons from the Functional Content. I’d suggest studying these Assets, and picking the ones that work best for you. You can still alter/edit those back in PS, so you just need to "get close."
    Pay special attention to the required naming conventions. You cannot deviate from those first characters in the Button Layer Sets. They MUST be followed.
    If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

    You can use any specific Extractors to Create  Data Source in R/3 side.
    Let me explain with Generic Extraction
    Goto SBIW--> you can see all the extractions here
    Generic extractors are of 3 types:
    1. Based on table/view
    2. Based on Info set Query
    3. Based on Function module
    If you would like to create a custom table, then goto SE11>Select Table>Click on Create (Now create you own table here & use this table while creating Transaction data)
    Goto RS02-->Select Transaction data.
    Click on  Create
    Choose an application component to which the data source is to be assigned
    Click on  Generic Delta
    Specify the Delta-Specific and the type for the field.
    Specify a safety interval
    Select Data type>Save> Now Data source was generated successfully
    After generating the data source , you will find Delta Flag checked.
    Please go through the following link for Generic Delta
    [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/84bf4d68-0601-0010-13b5-b062adbb3e33]
    Once you've done with Data Source in R/3 side--> u need to Replicate it to BI
    Goto RSA1>source system>Select the Source system in which u've created Data source>R.C select Data Source Overview>Select the Application Component to which Data source is assigned>R.C Select Replicate dataSorce>here you can see your NEW Data source

  • I have photos that are rotated within a photo stream created from a project even though the photo displays properly within the project. How can I get the photos to have the proper rotation within the photo stream?

    I have a photo stream that was created from a subset of photo from a rather large Aperature project. Some of the photos show up rotated within the photo stream but are not rotated within the project. Why is this happening and how do I fix the rotation within the photo stream? I do have the latest version of Aperature and have all of the necessary updates applied to my devices used to view the photo stream. The photos do show up rotated within the photo stream segment of Aperature, so I am sure it is not an issue with the output device (iPad and Apple TV). I do know that I cannot edit photos within a photo stream, but no amount of editing within the project allows the photos to be properly rotated within the photo stream. All help would be greatly appreciated.

    That will work, but it is the long way 'round.
    As Frank noted, Book Albums are just specialized Albums.  Albums can show any Image in your Library, regardless of where the Album is located on the Library Inspector, and regardless of which Project contains the Image.  You can put your Albums anywhere (in a Folder called "Books" for example).  You can put Images from anywhere in your Library in any Album.
    The easy way 'round:
    - Make a new Book Album
    - Select Images you may want to put in your Book.  Flag them.
    - Select some more.  Flag them.
    - Go to the "Flagged" container (listed near the top of the Library Inspector), select all, and drag-and-drop them to your Book Album.
    - Repeat as needed, or just drag-and-drop directly into the Book Album.
    Note that you can remove any Image from any Album (including Books) by selecting and hitting the "{Delete}" key.  This _does not remove the Image from the Project that contains it, or from the Library.
    Note, too, that once the Images are in your Book Album, you then put them in the Book you are creating for publication.  The Book Album contains the superset of Images with which you populate the Book itself.  The Book Album also holds the Book.
    A good (imho ) introduction to the parts of Aperture can be found in this short guide I wrote.
    The User Manual is helpful.  Here is
    the chapter on making Books. 
    From that chapter, here is
    the section detailing how to create and populate a Book Album.

    Use global variables.
    Compare them with a constant Boolean like F or T.
    The result is true or false and then you can use it in a Cae-Loop.

    Issue: Acrobat 8 Standard crashes when opening PDFs created from Microsoft Project 2007.

    Details: This issue happens with multiple Microsoft Project files (including new files), multiple PDF creators (included Acrobat 8 Standard) and on multiple computers. We also tried opening the PDFs in Adobe Reader 8 instead of Acrobat Standard 8. There is no record in the event log on the computers of the application crashes.

    I may have a resolution now...
