Export Question Slides XML to Moodle

I have several quizzes built in captivate 3 that i want to
export the questions as xml and then import them to moodle using
xml. I know i can run a scorm package on moodle with my quiz, but
i'm trying to actually use my questions as part of a moodle quiz so
i need to be able to import them as XML. when i just export my
captivate quiz as XML and then try the import Moodle XML function i
get errors. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dave

Thanks so much for your help so far, Paul
Everything works great, except when trying to use the Export button from Reader. (It works as expected in Pro)
The file has been reader extended, so save works, but our developers need the ability to click that Export button from Reader and get an XML file. Any ideas if this is possible or how the code can be tweaked so it will work for Reader?
Thanks!

Question Slide Templates and importing

I have a template with question slides and I've
saved it as a cp file. I then attempted to import slides and
objects from another project. It appears to be importing, and then
the only slides I have are the originals. None of the new slides
appear. ???

Hi there mfubib
Creating a template is simple. You may create one from
scratch or you may choose to take any existing project and save it
as a template.
To create one from scratch, click File > Record/Create
> New Project... > Other. You then set the size and whatnot
and eventually end up in the editing environment. You then add the
elements that you wish to have in your template. Once your template
looks like you want, you follow what is outlined in the next
section.
To save any existing project as a template, click File >
Save As... and when the Save As dialog appears, click the drop-down
menu at the bottom and choose "Adobe Captivate Templates (*.cptl).
I'm not sure what you mean with "Additional flexibility with
question slide template with Captivate 3". There is no "template"
per se. What we see with Captivate 3 and question slides is that we
may now copy, paste, import and export Question slides. We may also
randomize them by creating question pools and drawing random
questions based on the pool. We may also shuffle answers as well as
customize the buttons used. But that's about it as far as I can
recall. Perhaps if you are able to articulate more about what it is
you are wanting to do, we might better answer the question.
Cheers... Rick

Question Slide won't export to Flash CS4 (Captivate 4)

I'm using Captivate 4 and Flash CS4 in Windows. I have built a short and simple 5-question quiz in Captivate, and I need to export it to Flash CS4.
I have tried both opening the .cp file onto a new Flash stage, and exporting to Flash from inside Captivate. Sometimes, Flash crashes. Mostly, I get this error:
The following elements in your project have not been converted. They are not supported by this importer.
Question Slide
Since I'm basically using Captivate 4 as a quiz generator for this project, this is definitely a showstopper. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
There is no suport for quzzing for "Export to Flash" feature in Captivate 4.
You can either publish the quiz as a SWF and add it into flash or use learning interactions which you get as templates in flash for ELearning Suite.

Ways to share photos
Using iPhoto on your device, you can share your photos in many ways:
Send photos to other devices
Beam photos, albums, events, journals, and slideshows (send wirelessly) from your device to another iOS device with iPhoto installed. Beaming shares photos in full resolution.
If you have a device that supports AirDrop, you can send photos wirelessly to other iOS devices that use AirDrop. You can use AirDrop to share photos, albums, events, journals, and slideshows. AirDrop shares photos in full resolution.
If you have an iCloud account and you’ve set up My Photo Stream, photos you save to the Camera Roll are sent to all of your devices.
Use photos in other apps on your device
Send your photos to other apps installed on your device, including iMovie and other iPhoto-supported apps.
Use your photos in any app by saving them to the Camera Roll.
Send photos to your computer
Import photos directly into iPhoto or Aperture on your computer.
Save photos to your computer using iTunes.
Share photos on the web
Post photos to your Twitter, Flickr, or Facebook accounts directly from iPhoto. You can add comments when you post photos using iPhoto.
Create a web journal with your photos and publish your journal as a webpage using your iCloud account.
Create a slideshow with your photos and publish your sllideshow as a webpage using your iCloud account.
Email, display, and print photos
Send an email with your photos.
Share photos using the Messages app on your device.
Present your photos as a slideshow with music and transition effects.

Question Slides OK in Captivate - Not so good in LMS

Hi,
I've just put together a Captivate course. Everything works
quite well in project preview mode, but when I export to Southrock
LMS - doom.
When the quiz is running it does either of two things. It
randomly freezes and marks the user as not competent, or kicks the
user all together. There are only seven question slides and I have
optimised these so they are smaller. Sometimes I can get right
through the course with a result, other times only the second or
third question.
Please help - my boss is on my back!!!

Just guessing, but assuming you're using SCORM, the Southrock
LMS could be one of those products that has trouble with the
frequency at which Captivate-generated SCORM files submit
information.
You might want to read through the following thread and see
if anything sounds similar to the problems you're having:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=67&catid=469&threadid =1294299
If memory serves, the fix included at the end of the thread
has helped fix problems with other LMS products besides
Moodle.

Use XML.sendAndLoad.
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00002879.html
You will need a server script to receive the XML structure
and it depends on
the server scripting language how you obtain that data. Then
you can either
populate a database or write to a static file or even email
the XML data
received from Flash.
For a basic example, I have two links I use for students in
my Flash
courses:

Bug in adding Question slides?

Firstly, thank to those who replied to my previous rant... restarting solved that problem.
Current rant: I think there's a bug in the Adding Question slides... but maybe it's me.
Here's the scenario:
I have a Master slide that says "MCQ, T/F, FIB, Sequence" so I think it's the master for the T/F slide.
When I go to Question Slide…, and add 1 T/F slide, it produces a new slide with the correct look from the Master slide.
BUT if I to to Question Slide… and add 2 or more T/F slides, the slides it produces look pretty much like the Master slide (and it says the name of the master slide in the Properties panel), but it's got things wrong with it... the Question X of Y is in the wrong place (the opposite corner, actually), and the "Correct/Incorrect/You must answer" boxes are one below the other... totally different than what's on the Master slide.
I also have issues with the GIFT import... Tryiing to import 10 T/F questions, I swear that the file is UTF-8 perfect, but it's telling me it's the wrong syntax. Why is this so hard?
Thank you for the assistance.
Ben

Thanks for the good suggestion Tony. Luckily I only do a limited number of these and they involve maybe five graphics at a time. I reckon the time it would take to import, apply the motion then export from Motion into FCP would be uneconomic.
I have done more tests and it definately only happens in DV timelines when copying scale motion keyframes from one image to another.
One solution is to manually copy the keyframes which is admittedly a little tedious. The other is to lower the motion filtering to fast which, as far as I can tell doesn't affect the quality to a noticeable extent.
I would say it's a bug unless anyone else can tell me where I'm going wrong?

Maxl to export/import partition xml

I have searched thru the tech ref at all the Maxl commands and I'm not seeing what I'm looking for.
Is there a way to automate thru maxl (or esscmd) the exporting and importing of the xml file for partitions?
TIA,
Robert

Is that the only option?
I've already seen the result of
display partition appname.dbname advanced
and it doesn't seem very friendly as an input file. Looks like much parsing and chopping would need to be done in order to get what I need as input to
create or replace partition command.
So the answer to my question about maxl for exporting/importing the xml version of partition is "no"?

Export Recordest to XML help, please

I'm trying to display my database info using Spry in CS4. In
CS3 there was a utility called "Export Recordest to XML" that was
part of the toolkit, but was also available as a registration
incentive. Is this functionality now built into CS4?
I guess what I' m really looking for is a tutorial on how to
bring data in directly from the database to the webpage. I've seen
the video of how to do it from a static HTML page, but that doesn't
help here.
I've also seen this page (
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/utils/query2xml.html)
but it doesn't offer any practical info for how to actually
implement this into a dreamweaver/spry page.
What is frustrating (aside from my own lack of knowledge) is
that one of the original raison d'être for Dreamweaver and its
ancestors, was the creation of dynamic sites from databases by
people who were somewhat programming challenged.
Maybe it is all there and I'm just missing it, but I would
truly appreciate any help.

Once you have your page that creates the xml, just use that
link in spry
as your datasource. Ignore the fact that it doesn't end in
xml, that
doesn't matter, as the output content type is xml, so it will
be treated
like xml.

Formatting answers all at once on a question slide

I'm brand new to Captivate 4, but I have found no way to format all of the answers on a question slide at the same time, either as I'm creating the answers or after I've created them. I have to change each one individually, which is mind-numbingly tedious and laborius. Is there a quick, simple way to format them all at once?

Hi there
What exactly are you wanting to format? Font and color? Placement? All?
I ask because if all you want is an easy way to format the text characteristics, try clicking File > Export > Project Captions and Closed Captions. This will give you a Word document where you may change said characteristics. Then you save and import back into the project to influence changes.
If it's placement, you need to submit a Wish Form to ask for it to be added at some future point.
Cheers... Rick

Multiple fill blank objects on one question slide?

Hellou CP users, is it possible to put multiple fill blank objects on one question slide? And if, how can I manage them for quiz reporting and correct results?
Yarik

I think indeed that you want a score for each fill-in-the-blank object, and that is not possible with the default FIB question slides. Only MCQ has partial scoring.
With TEB's and advanced actions that is possible. Also with the TextArea widget, as I explained in this blog post:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/widgets-and-custom-questions-part-2
http://blog.lilybiri.com/extended-textarea-widget-more-functionality
TEB's have the advantage that as interactive objects, you can attach a score to them which is not the case for the TextArea widgets. But I would recommend getting Jim Leichliter's enhanced version of the TEB's as well, so that you can control what is shown in the TEB if you want to create a question with multiple attempts. I have described a use case recently in these forums but cannot remember exactly which thread. Jim's widget is free:
http://captivatedev.com/2012/09/16/adobe-captivate-6-x-free-widget-text-entry-box-with-var iables/

Is there ANY way to have a static widget over the top of a question slide?

I have a popup reference widget that I made and put it in a master slide and set it to ply on top, BUT if I add it to a question slide, the text from the question shows over it.
Any way to have a widget always be on the absolute top?
Click on the MSDS tab at bottom reveals popup, but the question text appears over the widget even though it is in a master slide set to shop on top.
Ideas?

Once your widget is on the slide, it has complete control over the display tree. So what you can do is to move up the parent hierarchy until you find the slide (parent.parent.parent) and then re-parent yourselft or you popup window on top of the hierarchy by just calling addChild(). That works well for the static widgets. You just need to deal with the position being different on the slide so you'll have to juggle with localToGlobal() and globalToLocal().

Can Retake Quiz button take me to 3rd question slide of the project?

Hi,
I am happy to join this forum. I hope anyone of you answer my question.
I am using captivate 4. I am not storing score onto any LMS.
I am developing an e-learning course of 30 slides. First 20 slides are content slides. I have 2 question slides as 14th and 15th slides. I don't want these 2 questions be part of my main Quiz which starts from 21st onwards which has 10 question slides. The quiz result page has "Retake Quiz Button" which is taking to the 14th slide which I dont want. Actually Retake Quiz button should take me to 21st slide only.(..and all the question slides in my course showing "Question x of 12". But I want this to show "Question x of 10" only). Because I have used 2 question slides (14th and 15th) to check the user for better understanding.
Can anyone help me out.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Manoharan.A

Welcome to the forum,
Each Captivate file, if you enable scoring will report a total score, in your case the score of the 'pre' questions and of the 'real' questions. Same with the progress (which you can disable).
Since your pretest only has 2 slides, to achieve your goal without having to create multiple files (pretest or final test separated from the main course), I would propose not to use the default Question slides for the pre-test, but to create them using standard objects, variables and advanced actions. This is perfectly possible for the most Question types, so which type did you use for the pre-test: true/false, multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank...? Instead of reporting the score the usual way (they get stored in the system variable cpQuizInfoPointsScored), I would store the results of the pre-test in a variable.
Both your issues will be solved: when retaking the Quiz, since only regular Question slides are considered as a Quiz, you will be taken to the first Question slide and the progress will be as you want it to be.
If you want to go this way, and need more help, please post your questions. I did publish some articles on use of variables and advanced actions but examples were made with CP5 (principles are the same). Captiv8r (moderator of this forum) has a gooberguide about Advanced actions (for CP4) that could be of great help:

How can I get a clearer Movie for my web page when trying to export a slide show in iPhoto.

In iPhoto I am exporting a slide show in the display (size) 1280x800, the original images in the slide show are 600 dpi @ 11" x 8.96". I am using iPhoto 11 Version 9.4.2 on my MacBook Pro OSX version 10.8.2. I am using a wipe transition with a total slide show length of about 17 minutes long with about 96 images. The Display.m4v is 543.8 MB. The slide show is crystal clear when played before downloading to a movie, but once it is in a movie format it is no longer clear. What else can I tell you?

600 dpi @ 11" x 8.96"
600 x 11 = 66,000 pixels and you're reducing them to 1280...
What happens if you export without the wipe?

How can I export a slide from Keynote to iMovie HD?

I've tried to export a slide with animation into iMovie HD. The settings I'm using are 320x200, frame rate: 30 fps, Progressive, 16x9, Data Rate: Automatic. When I export and import into iMovie Hd the resolution is blurry and grainy.
I initially tried to build a title sequence in Keynote. The title sequense transitioned into a quicktime movie clip, transitioned into a title sequence. The audio portion worked to time but the video output was increased by :30 seconds and was out of sequence. I played with the settings and deleted the preference plist for iWork, but the timing never worked in Keynote.
The timing works in iMovie Hd, but I the titles are grainey and poor resolution.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Jeff

The source is DV 16:9. I've adjusted the resolution to 360:202 and compressed with Sorenson to a QT 512 streaming clip. The resolution is very good and I don't have any issues with the video. I've imported the video clip into Keynote and assembled the title sequence. It looks good with no blurring or choppiness. The problem comes when I export. The timing goes off and the length of the entire video clip is increased. I've also had problems with Keynote when exporting. It seems to be inconsistent and will drop the last title, even though the preview worked fine. I've worked around the problem by importing the title slides with out the transitions and then going into Final Cut. I'd like to keep the title transitions that I had in Keynote . Any thoughts? Thanks, Jeff
