Custom Quiz with Master Widget not reporting in LMS (Captivate 5.5)

Hello,
I have written a custom quiz with partial scoring and, in order to report answers, I am using the Master Widget. (Huge thanks to Lilybiri and Infosemantics for all of the guidance I have found in blogs and e-learning classes!)
In summary, the quiz is composed of 2 questions with 4 possible answers each. Each of the 4 answers have a different score attached to it (i.e. answer a = 4 points; answer b = 3 points; answer c = 2 points; answer d = 1 point). On each question slide I have added a Master Widget (using the variable representing the points the student received as a slave object). I want the quiz to report the score for each question. After the student has answered both question slides, they continue to a "Results" slide. Here they view the total of their scores and get feedback on if their total is to high, too low, or in-line. On the results page I have used the Master Widget to report the total score to the quiz.
I have uploaded this quiz as a SCORM package to both Moodle 2.3 and Blackboard 9 (we are trialing different LMS systems). The quiz runs great in each LMS but when I try to access a report, I don't get any results: no report of the points received for each quiz item and no score total. In fact, in Blackboard I get a blank page:
In Moodle, I get:
Here is what my quiz preferences look like:
I am really stuck. I realize there are a lot of components to this process and I really need some help to find out where the problem lies.
Thank you for your time and help!!!

Bray,
Yes the figures shown on the Quiz Results slide are important because they indicate some of your widgets or other interactive objects are not being reported to the 'official' quiz score.
You need to go back and check the objects that you want to be included in the score. The 67% score reported by the quiz on the quiz results slide probably means that Captivate thinks you only have three objects reporting to the quiz and only two of those (two thirds or 67% in round figures) were successful.
You mentioned before that you have three Master widgets in this project. How many of them are set to report to the quiz? To test whether they're all reporting success, turn on Success and Failure captions for these widgets and then run through your interaction.
When using Slave Variables with the Master widgets for partial scoring, don't forget that although the Master widgets might count these variables as being interactive objects, Captivate does not.
Although the Master widget is VERY powerful, it also tends to mess with people's minds because there are just SO many ways you can configure it. If using partial scoring, check whether or not you have the option set to over-ride the widgets own assigned score with the total points score from the slave objects. If you use this option, you need to make sure that at no time can the over-ridden score fall outside the 0-100% range that SCORM-compliant LMSs will accept.

Custom Quiz: How to update and report user-defined variable?

Hello,
I am a novice Captivate 5.5 user. Thanks to Lilibiri's blog and articles, I have managed to built a custom quiz (all with user-defined variables and advanced actions).
The quiz is composed of 2 questions with 4 possible answers each. Each of the 4 answers have a different score attached to it (i.e. answer a = 4 points; answer b = 3 points; answer c = 2 points; answer d = 1 point). I have inlcuded a "Feedback Slide" that may appear after each question. For example, if a person chooses score d, they will get sent to a Feedback slide that basically says they are wrong. There is a "back" button on the "Feedback" slide that can take them back to the the prior question sllide and they can change and re-submit their answer. After they have answered both question slides, they continue to a "Results" slide. Upon entry to the "Results" slide, using "advanced actions" my user-defined variable adds up all of the scores to get a total. Based on this total, one of three possible text captions boxes appear, depending on their total. And....here are my questions (I have checked and re-checked the Forum and blogs for answers - and I am so sorry if I missed them!!)
1) I have defined a variable that totals the points that the person received on the quiz. I would like this variable displayed on the Results slide. It can get it to appear in a Text Caption Box. BUT if a person changes a score and re-submits the score before entering the "Results" slide, the total score reflects EVERY score that the person has chosen (the scores that they originally chose and then changed are still included in the total).
2) I want the total score a person gets on the quiz reported to the instructor. I don't know if a user-defined variable can be reported and how to go about doing this. We will be running our quizzes on an LMS (though we haven't chosen one yet). I tried using a system variable (cpQuizInfoPointsscored), but I believe (after reading discussions on Forum), it will not work in my quiz if my scores are adjusted/changed.
3) another question - would you like me to put this in a separate discussion? I certainly can!! There is a "Back" button on the "Results" page. I have tried using "advanced actions" and "on success: move to last slide visited" but neither option will allow the user to move to the last slide visited. Ideally, I would liek a person to be able to go back through the quiz, look at their answers and adjust them.
Thanks in advance for your help! I have learned SO much in the last few weeks from all of you!

Hello and welcome to the forum,
That is a lot of questions, thanks for reading my blog. The most difficult part is indeed the reporting in case, you did see perhaps that I have not yet published the blog post about reporting questions with partial scores, third part of my reporting sequence. Have two possibilities that I'm exploring: either with Javascript, or with the brandnew Master Widget that Rod is pointing to. Watch out for the blog post(s), but need some more time. So no real answer to your second question for the moment, because you cannot control the quizzing system variables with advanced actions.
About your first question: you will have to so sort of 'reset' when re-entering the question slide, so that the total score stored in the user variable is decremented with the score attributed to the user in his previous answer. This means that you have to store this previous score in another user variable. Hope this make sense?
I do not get the last question totally. Are you using the default Score slide? You have to allow Backwards movement in the Quiz Preferences, but for default Question slides this will not allow the user to change his answer. I thought you were using custom question slides? Do not use the default score slide in that case, but create your own score slide, so that you can add buttons and actions to your wish. Perhaps I misunderstand your question, and it would be better to explain more, eventually in another thread if it is about the default score slide, question slides.

Branched scenario with passing score required will not report in LMS (Connect)

I have a couple scenario modules as a part of a large curriculum assembled in Connect. The problem is that some of the Captivate files won't report correctly in Connect. I've tried multiple things to troubleshoot. All projects upload to the server successfully. The only thing that the projects that won't report correctly have in common is that they all use the advanced answer option and were developed in 5.5 and were moved to 6.0 when the changover happened. Other files in the curriculum that were developed in 5.5 have had no issue with the upgrade. I assume the problem is a new setting that 6.0 now has that wasn't available in 5.5 but can't figure out what it is.
Some modules use advanced answers with the action of "continue" and "show feedback message" checked.
Some modules use advanced answers to branch by using "jump to slide" where they see a whole feedback slide (no feedback message selected). Then, the feedback slide has a button on it that will report the score desired for that answer (the best way I could figure out how to make it do what I wanted it to do in 5.5).
...Either way when the module uses advanced answers the project will not report correctly.
I have a passing score required on these modules. When going through the project, the whole thing works great. The quiz review slide at the end will tell you that you got 13/13 or whatever the final score is. The projects are set to close upon clicking the continue button on the last slide. Upon close, you're brought back to Connect and the curriculum page will say that you had 1/Unlimited attempts and score is N/A.
Why won't the score report? I'm very confused by this. Any help/suggestions are appreciated! Thanks!

Additional information;
The Micro-cell never is handed a DHCP IP address by the RV320, so it seems the Micro-cell cannot continue with its boot-up - only gets to power light and intermittent blinking internet / network light. Conversely, when Micro-cell is connected to one of other routers listed in this post it receives a DHCP lease within a minute and continues to successfully boot-up and connect to AT&T service, therefore all its status lights go solid green.

IWeb with flash widget not posting correctly on Firefox on PC

I created pages on iWeb, with flash widget. It looks great on Safari and Firefox on the mac, terrible on firefox PC. Basically on Firefox PC, the iWeb created site that should be in front of the flash file, gets behind it when the page loads, so the page only shows the flash file.
Can anyone help? I have tried to figure out the HTML and CSS, without success.
Here's a link to a page that's fine on the Mac side, bad on the PC:
www.franckgoldberg.com/Design/AR_Media.html

Why would it work on the mac, and not on the PC?
The kind folks at Firefox and Flock should know that.
How did you succeed on your second example

Display issues with languages other than English (also related: slide results not reporting to LMS)

Running: Captivate 6
I'm having two
issues that I thought was only tied to Cyrillic characters, but appears to be with multiple languages (confirmed with Brazillian Portugese, Latin American Spanish, Swedish and Russian).
1. Quiz Pass/Fail result message appearing truncated (top and bottom of message is cut off, or message appears wrapped and overlaps)
I've attempted converting the text to a UTF-8 format and tried that as well, but had no success.
2. We have a 108 slide test created in Captivate v6; the English version pushes all 108 slide results to our LMS without issue. When we created the version in Russian, one slide refused to push slide results.
Steps to confirm/resolve:
I've confirmed the settings are identical on the project and on the slide between both the EN and RU versions
I've pasted the russian text into the working EN project and published/tested and that particular slide does not push results to the LMS (the only thing changed was the text on the existing slide)
I've tried duplicating working slides and replacing text; it fails to report
I've tried converting the text to a UTF-8 format and replacing the text; again it fails to push slide results to our LMS
I've tried about every option I can to get the RU version fo the test working (pushing results for all 108 slides); Out of desperation I've created a work around which is putting the question and answer options in as images (not text) and then the test pushes all 108 slide results. This leads me to believe that the issue is regarding how the font is viewed/read by Captivate 6 and ultimately reported to our LMS (SABA).
I've reached out to our localization company (SDL) and their only suggestion was the UTF-8 formatting (which failed).
Please help! Thanks!!

Hi,
If your homepage framework is working for German language then check if your setting are properly maintain for Area Group Key SAPDEFAULTESS_ERP2005 in French Turkish Portugese..
Solution:Login to system in each language i.e FR, TR, PT
navigate to SPRO>FA>TM>ESS>Homepage FR> select Header & Area Group Pages>
Select Define Area Group Pages > Add Entries> Select the SAPDEFAULTESS_ERP2005 Key check weather the Area Group
Role Text is maintain for FR TR PT if not maintain the translation your problem will be resolved.

How can I use my custom thumbnails with lightbox widget?

I have been trying to find the answer to this for a couple of days. I did see one thread about this, but it didn't really answer the question. I don't want my thumbnail images to be miniature versions of my hero image. I have created custom thumbnails to use instead. Is there a way to do this?

I cannot begin to express my level of frustration. I have been trying to use the composition widget light box display for some time now. I drag the widget to my document. The default widget has three small trigger boxes and a large area made up of a forward and backward button, a background, a text box and a frame for your image.
My steps have been …
I click on the little trigger box.
I click on the frame that holds the main image.
I go to the fill menu and browse my computer for my image and then click OK.
IT shows up on my screen. Yay
I attempt to continue using the next two trigger boxes provided in the widget.
After that, I add more by clicking on the little plus sign.
This is where all heck breaks loose.
Every single time I attempt to add thumbnails, something messes up. When I go to preview, either not all of my main images show up, or it starts with the wrong one, or some are missing. I have looked and looked for help on this and the only thing I can find is how easy it is to create a great portfolio lightbox display. But as we know, that only works when your thumbnails are the same image as the images in your lightbox. If you want something different, you have to use the composition wizard. I am finding it extremely difficult and confusing to customize.
Is there an exact sequence you need to use to add images to the slideshow? I am my wits end.

Custom taglib with nested tag not working

Hi everybody,
I have a question concerning a custom taglib. I want to create a tag with nested child tags. The parent tag is some kind of iterator, the child elements shall do something with each iterated object. The parent tag extends BodyTagSupport, i have overriden the methods doInitBody and doAfterBody. doInitBody initializes the iterator and puts the first object in the pageContext to be used by the child tag. doAfterBody gets the next iterator object and puts that in the pageContext, if possible. It returns with BodyTag.EVAL_BODY_AGAIN when another object is available, otherwise BodyTag.SKIP_BODY.
The child tag extends SimpleTagSupport and does something with the given object, if it's there.
In the tld-file I have configured both tags with name, class and body-content (tagdependent for the parent, empty for the child).
The parent tag is being executed as I expected. But unfortunately the nested child tag does not get executed. If I define that one outside of its parent, it works fine (without object, of course).
Can somebody tell me what I might have missed? Do I have to do something special with a nested tag inside a custom tag?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks a lot in advance!
Greetings,
Peter

Hi again,
unfortunately this didn't work.
I prepared a simple example to show what isn't working. Perhaps it's easier then to show what my problem is:
I have the following two tag classes:
public class TestIterator extends BodyTagSupport {
    private Iterator testIteratorChild;
    @Override
    public void doInitBody() throws JspException {
        super.doInitBody();
        System.out.println("TestIterator: doInitBody");
        List list = Arrays.asList(new String[] { "one", "two", "three" });
        testIteratorChild = list.iterator();
    @Override
    public int doAfterBody() throws JspException {
        int result = BodyTag.SKIP_BODY;
        System.out.println("TestIterator: doAfterBody");
        if (testIteratorChild.hasNext()) {
            pageContext.setAttribute("child", testIteratorChild.next());
            result = BodyTag.EVAL_BODY_AGAIN;
        return result;
public class TestIteratorChild extends SimpleTagSupport {
    @Override
    public void doTag() throws JspException, IOException {
        super.doTag();
        System.out.println(getJspContext().getAttribute("child"));
        System.out.println("TestIteratorChild: doTag");
}The Iterator is the parent tag, the Child shall be shown in each iteration. My taglib.tld looks like the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<taglib
     xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee web-jsptaglibrary_2_1.xsd"
     xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="2.1">
     <tlib-version>1.0</tlib-version>
     <short-name>cms-taglib</short-name>
     <uri>http://www.pgoetz.de/taglibs/cms</uri>
     <tag>
          <name>test-iterator</name>
          <tag-class>de.pgoetz.cms.taglib.TestIterator</tag-class>
          <body-content>tagdependent</body-content>
     </tag>
     <tag>
          <name>test-iterator-child</name>
          <tag-class>de.pgoetz.cms.taglib.TestIteratorChild</tag-class>
          <body-content>empty</body-content>
     </tag>
</taglib>And the snippet of my jsp is as follows:
     
     <cms:test-iterator>
          <cms:test-iterator-child />
     </cms:test-iterator>The result is that on my console I get the following output:
09:28:01,656 INFO [STDOUT] TestIterator: doInitBody
09:28:01,656 INFO [STDOUT] TestIterator: doAfterBody
09:28:01,656 INFO [STDOUT] TestIterator: doAfterBody
09:28:01,656 INFO [STDOUT] TestIterator: doAfterBody
09:28:01,656 INFO [STDOUT] TestIterator: doAfterBody
So the child is never executed.
It would be a great help if anybody could tell me what's going wrong here.
Thanks and greetings from germany!

Swf file with external video not playing properly in Captivate 5

So I'm trying to create a captivate project using swf file that has code that loads external flv inside of it.
It all works great when I test it in flash but once I export it and insert it in Captivate the screens don't synchronize.
The content of the video starts playing as soon as the project starts even though it's not on that video slide and when
I try to scroll through the project the audio of that video screen doesn't stop.
Anyone has an idea why this is happening, could it be my code in flash that's affecting it?

Unfortunately, no. I gave up on the idea of inserting question slides in the middle of videos. That means I no longer have videos distributed across multiple slides, which I assume was causing the problem. Now, I only insert quiz slides AFTER the video slide. Not preferred but that's what I ended up with.
I have recently upgraded to 7. I haven't had a chance to see if the issue is fixed in 7. To be honest I am having many issues getting my courses to play properly on the iPad. I am using all the default functions and quiz slides, but I continue to run into problems.

Native VLAN discrepancy is not reported in LMS 4.0

Hi all,
I have the following problem in LMS 4.0. I see a lot of CDP syslog messages about Native Vlan Mismatch, but the LMS doesn't report it in the disrepancy report. Why?? The similar problem is with TRUNK VLAN Mismatch.
The customer doesn't use VTP in his network. All switches are in the VTP transparent mode.
See the attachment.
Tank you very much

Raising Customer Messages with SAP OSS on BCS issues

Hi guys,
I'd be keen to know everyone's opinion on raising customer messages with SAP OSS, in particular on BCS.
Often I find that my colleagues are hesitant to raise a note with SAP because they think it either takes too long or they don't get a satisfactory answer.
Whereas as soon as I see something fishy, that I cannot explain I will check my logic once more, check on SDN, check existing OSS notes, then raise a Customer Message immediately (while I continue to investigate/test).
This is partly due to my experience that half the time I feel like a guinea pig in BCS, perhaps because BCS is not as widespread as other modules and i may be the first to try something so may be first to experience the problem.
The first line response (often from Shanghai) usually tries to send the message straight back but I find with a little persistence, clear (and irrefutable) documentation , you soon get through to the experts in Germany (or is it Czech Rep?) who actually understand the issue.
The client has paid a lot of money for the service through their SAP licensing and maintenance fees, so I have no qualms about 'reporting a product error' when I see one.
Also, I find a lot of BCS documentation is out of date, not updated as new releases/EHPs come out, eg I recently relied on the contents of OSS note 936590, which was wrong for BCS 604. So I raised a customer message and requested that they update it, which has now been done - this is too late for me but might help someone else.
Raising a Customer Message with OSS is not an excuse to avoid doing your job, but where there is a genuine error in BCS, I encourage others to raise OSS notes and persis with them until a satisfatcory response is received.

Concur with TheScotsman.
The situation is almost the same: the 1st line support (India) very often beat back the costomer message without going deep into the problem. However, if we persist and provide additional details (or when the message was made very professionally and bypassed the 1st line) the message was rerouted to consultants from Czeck Rep.). In this case the progress was significant. Since the client do not provide access to the system, in a couple of times we made a remote session: the support guy gave directions what to do in the system and where to look for some details. The problems were solved in a half an hour.

These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.

Integrating CP5 Quiz questions with My Own and Reporting ONE SCORE

Science teacher trying to convince my department to move toward paperless testing.
Out of the Box, I find
I've learnt how to use variables and Advanced Actions to create several true/false questions on a single slide and report their scores.
Is it possible to have MYscore variables change the PROJECT score variable?
eg EXPRESSION: "PROJECTSCORE" = v_MyQuestionScores + "PROJECTSCORES"
Am I allowed to mess with the project variables?
Regards
Greg

Normally you cannot change the score via any other method than using a quiz slide or an interactive object.
But now you can use the Interactive Master widget from Infosemantics to take data from user variables and use these as slave objects to override the score assigned to the Master widget, which then gets reported to the quiz.
If you want to try this out, download a free trial widget from here and give it a go.

FD33 - Receivable Field in Customer master is not getting updated

FD33 - Receivable Field in Customer master is not getting updated for the FI documents posted in the customer account. I need to know is there any setting either in FI or in SD, which control whether the FI document is relevant to credit check?
In SD, we are having the item category but i am not getting how to control for FI documents? How can i make them credit relevant item. Also for special item, we are controlling the same through Transaction code : OBXY - by special GL indicators but what about the normal/general item?
How can I control the general FI documents having various FI documents type as relevant to credit check?

Apart from the above,please also check the below:
FD33 - Receivable Field in Customer master is not getting updated for the FI documents posted in the customer account. I need to know is there any setting either in FI or in SD, which control whether the FI document is relevant to credit check?
As per me there is no specific control to active the credit active field in FI values unlike for updating the sales values in FD32 we activate credit active for the item cat(VOV7) which will ensure the sales values to update (open order, open delivery and open invoices) in to credit management.
For FI values to update i think this is inbuilt in the program only.( example update group 000012,15,18 etc).
Any way coming into query not updating the receivables, please check the below points once again.
1. Check the whether invoice has accounting document generated or not, make sure that it is generated then only system update the receivables.
2. Even if the above all points are checked including above all posts,then also still the same issue repeating then try to run the program RVKRED77, before this first run RVKRED88 and compare this values with FD32.
thanks,
Srinu.
