Quiz progress not displaying as desired

Hi Guys,
I've posted around this issue previously - noting that all questions in a project are considered part of the quiz. Here is the issue - I have a project with several topics in a single captivate file. Each topic contains a few 'practice' questions. The problem occurs when I get to the final assessment - captivate considers previous practice questions as part of the quiz - so any score applied to these questions are counted as part of the final assessment score. I fixed this issue by setting the score to zero for each of these practice questions.
My bigger issue now is the client wants to show progress through the quiz - i.e Show Something like 'Question 1 of 10' throughout the quiz. When I set show quiz progress captivate then cleaverly counts each of the questions (inc the p;ractice questions which are not scored) in the project and then on the first Assessment slide shows progress as 'Question 12 of 22'. (12 including the first 11 practice questions and the first assessment question.)
How do I reset this counter so I can show progress in my assessment starting from Question 1 and not 12??? Any ideas/suggestions would be much appreciated.

Hello,
That is OK, and would have been my workaround too (using a dedicated master slide with Text Caption). To initialize the variables would be better(?) by using an advanced action when the Question slides start (on entering the first Question slide), at least if you want to have the correct progress indicator on retaking the Quiz. Perhaps it is my misunderstanding, but from your explanation I conclude that you initialized the user variable when creating it? One of my recommendations when playing with advanced actions + user variables is to be careful about initializing, taking into account all possible situations. Sorry if this really superfluous to you. But you also mentioned that this was the first time you were using advanced actions and variables in Captivate.
Personally I have been writing articles and blogging about advanced actions in Captivate 5 since several months. Here is the link to one of the blog posts that could perhaps give you some inspiration:

Random Quiz Slides not displaying in published files when on server

version 4.0
Output - swf\htm
Hello
Have been working on some elearning now locally for a while which combines straight slides then ends with random quiz slides.
Have published locally to c:\ drive and tested the swf\htm files and they play and display fine . However have now published the files to our organisations elearning server so everyone can access and played them back. All works fine till you get to the first random question slide - its just a green blank screen ! The green is the same as the skin I have on the project as a whole.
So basically the problem must be on the server. I have no idea what to try !!
thanks in advance
ps - just adding this bit, I meant to put it in quizzing forum but didn't . Can't see how to move it now
Also just tried adding a normal quiz slide and that displays fine - its when I am using the random quiz slides from a pool. Thanks

thanks for this - feel a bit thick now !
I had no idea they created separate files. That serves me right for not working in separate folders when I am testing and working in the root of the directory (with about 50 other cp files in it !)as I missed it.
Mystery solved - thanks again !

Progression not yielding the desired result

Now if I want to search for a string - acrylic crochet
My progressive clause is as follows:

<SEQ>(acrylic crochet) within F3</SEQ>
<SEQ>($acrylic $crochet) within F3</SEQ>
<SEQ>(NEAR((acrylic,crochet))) within F2</SEQ>
</PROGRESSION>
</TEXTQUERY>
</QUERY>
The data set has a record where F2 Contains following text:
Manufacturers and exporters of yarns like acrylic yarn, viscose yarns, acrylic blended yarn, acrylic knitting yarn, spun yarn, blended yarns, braided thread, chenille yarn, cotton yarn, crochet yarn, dupion silk yarns etc
My problem is that - This record is not coming in the search result.
The record starts appearing if I use only NEAR Clause. as shown below:
<QUERY>
<TEXTQUERY>
<PROGRESSION>
<SEQ>(NEAR((acrylic,crochet))) within F2</SEQ>
</PROGRESSION>
</TEXTQUERY>
</QUERY>
Please advise what could be wrong - is my Index proper, or my progressive clause has some problem or there is something else which I have totally missed.

Quiz results not displaying in swf file

I am creating an interactive cd which basically runs a blank
projector which then loads in various swf files from fscommand
folder as and when required.
Part of the CD is a quiz - created using one of the standard
flash templates. When this is loaded into the main projector as a
swf file it runs perfectly until it gets to the "results page" - at
this point it returns the blank templates e.g Answered = 0.
If you export the quiz as a projector file it runs fine and
gives the results as expected too.
Is there a way to make it run properly as a swf?

Hey Arunbe,
To be honest I'm pretty new to the Action Script side of
things - I'm not actually very sure where and how I check that the
variables are declared properly?!
I would really appreciate any pointers you could give me in
this area!!
I have attached some code from the quiz - it might not be the
right thing though!
Thanks for any help you can offer!!!

Song progress not displayed

The song progress display on my new 30GB iPod is blank all of a sudden. All menus look fine, but when I start playing a song, the screen goes blank. All I see is the title bar with the play icon, time and battery icon. The iPod software is up-to-date. I can't find any settings for this option. What's wrong?

Try reseting your iPod. To reset hold the menu + the center button untill the Apple logo comes up

Cp5.5 - quiz progress won't display

Hello there.
I have a project that was originally cp4, upconverted to cp5.5 Originally it had 48 questions in its quiz and I added two question slides. The original 48 all had the progress indicator. When the new two were added, the progress indicator caption would not show up on those two slides.
I went to quiz > quiz preferences > settings and it was indeed turned on. It was not a custom caption with variables.
In my attempt to force it, I turned off show progress, clicked OK, which removed it from all slides. I then turned progress back on, clicked OK, and nothing happened. It did not add the progress indicator to the existing slides and won't add it when I add a new question slide.
If I turn it off again, it behaves like it's removing it, even though there is nothing to remove, but when I preview or publish the progress indicator caption does not display. When I turn it back on, and click OK, captivate pauses for a moment like it's working, but doesn't add anything to the slides.
Any other suggestions on how to get the quiz progress indicator caption to reappear?

Actually my colleague figured it out and I feel kind of stupid now.
When i readded the quiz progress it kept the original style which was white text, but it moved the location of the text onto a white background. Because it wasn't in the timeline it didn't dawn on me how to select it. Control A to select all showed a mystery object on the white background which revealed itself once we moved it onto a dark background.
sorry for the trouble.

Table entries not getting displayed in desired format

Hi All,
In my adobe layout I created a table . I used data format Align Right and align middle for the table entries. In the Output some entries of the table are not displaying in align right and align middle.
Output:In the below output the first row data is not in desired format .
Thanks in Advance,
Suneel.Uggina.

That is pretty to much information to help you.
You need to share your technical setting. How did you create the table? Subforms, Table-assistent... what are the values in? Format, what happens when you also pass more than 1 digit to the numbers in the first row, does it show up correct?
So please share more details and explain exact what you have tried to fix the issue. The community is able to help you, but not meant to suggest enaything you could have done.

Null values not displaying in the LOV on the parameter form.

My report works perfect while in Oracle Reports 10g, however when I move it to our menu (Oracle Forms 10g) it does not display the null in the LOV on the parameter form.
This report allows the the user to select by inspector or district or everyone for certain dates.
Ex: I have 4 parameter fields. The user must enter the start & end dates and either the Inspector or the district or leave the inspector or district null to run for everyone.
The district LOV is :
select dnr_section_code, description from dnr_section_code where dnr_section_code in ('29', '38','52')
UNION
select null, 'All' from dual
order by 2 asc ;
The inspector LOV is:
select null , 'All' from dual
UNION
select person_seq, first_name||' '||last_name inspector from vw_eng_inspectors
order by 2 asc
In my Data Model query I use the :
My select
from tables
where clause
+
----by inspector
and (prod_fac_inspections.person_seq_inspector =
nvl(:inspector,prod_fac_inspections.person_seq_inspector))
---by district
and
(d.dnr_section_code = nvl(:district,d.dnr_section_code)
and d.person_seq = prod_fac_inspections.person_seq_inspector)
Again, it works perfect in Reports! It eliminates having 3 reports on the menu. This one report gives the user the option of selecting dynamic parameters.
Also, I got so frustrated, that I went a different route of using a default where.
I am stuck with the error of ORA:00933 SQL command not ended properly
1=1
I set the initial value to 1=1 and it does not like it.
I am stuck!

Hi Krishna,
I'm not sure I understand the probelm.
A progress bar control only displays numeric values. When do you mean by "unassigned values"? What would you expect to be presented?

Pages will not display

Hello Apple Community,
I have an interesting question regarding Apple Pages.
Last week (11/24/14) I did the upgrades for iWorks and got the new Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. No problems with Numbers or Keynote, however, Pages has ceased to function. Pages will open, show that a document is opened, register that the document has been opened (when I look at the "get info" part of the file). However, nothing displays. Everything seems as if it is invisible...there is nothing on the display. I'm not sure how else to describe it, but Pages is invisible. Under the tabs at the top of the screen, Pages is displayed, along with File, Edit, etc...but many, many of the options are blacked out, as if I can't select them. I can select "open recent" and those files will all open, so to speak, but once again, they are all invisible and not being displayed.
So what have I tried already?
First, I uninstalled everything and reinstalled Pages from the old '09 CD (with the 9.3 update) that I got back in 2010. Same problem. And THAT has me concerned. I've basically redone everything to what was the factory settings, but still nothing has solved the problem.
I've also shut down my iCloud account to see if that was creating any compatibility issues. I'm thinking this is a software issue over a hardware issue.
I'm not sure if this was caused by upgrading to OS X 10.10.1? I skipped Maverick and upgraded straight from Snow Leopard...I know, crazy huh? So maybe that has something to do with it? I'm considering looking for some pre-Maverick operating systems to revert to, maybe Lion or Mountain Lion? Storage space shouldn't be creating an issue, as I have over 80 gigs still available, nor should memory be an issue, as I'm running with 8 gigs of RAM.
So...do you have any suggestions or have you ever heard of this issue before? Numbers and Keynote work just fine, and Pages WILL open, just not display.
As always, thank you for your help and please let me know if there is any more information you need to help me get to the root of this.

Greetings friends,
I have some updates for you all with how this issues is progressing.
I followed a good number of troubleshooting techniques found on the Apple site and they mostly cleared things up. I tried starting up in safe mode and sure enough everything worked well. However, the computer was sure running quick for safe mode, no white flashes on the screen, no indication that it was in fact IN safe mode in the first place. So when I checked under the System Report in "About this Mac" sure enough, I had done a normal boot. (Peculiar)
And...Pages was working! So I opened Keynote and Numbers only to find that the problem had migrated there! Sure enough, it migrated!! So here I am, testing and retesting to see just what is triggering the effect. As things stand now, on the initial boot, Keynote won't display. To get Keynote to display, I have to log out and log back in again. On this (and subsequent log in/outs) Keynote will display but then Numbers won't. If I want Numbers to display again, I have to re-initiate the entire sequence. In other words, physically restart the computer. This then puts me at having Pages display, and toggling back and forth between Numbers and Keynote.
As an aside, I should mention that being logged out from inactivity or the screen saver, etc hasn't had any effect on the programs, only the Shift+Command+Q logout seems to affect which program will display and which program will not.
So are we talking virus here? I want to think not. And really, no files have been lost as far as I can tell; it's just become quite inconvenient to have to log out and in to load either of the two programs. I'm confident that there is something corrupted in the startup files. All three programs are functional, and I can access the files once it will display.
Thankfully, there is a MacStore that just opened on December 6th here in Toledo, OH. I'll probably head out there this coming week or weekend to avoid the huge rush they'll have at the opening.
As always, if you have any suggestions, please let me know. Thank you for all that you do,

PO Version not displayed in PO List Displays (ME2L, ME2K, etc)

I have configured PO Version Management. My PO's are working as desired with proper output.
However, the PO Version Number is not displayed in my PO List Display tcodes (ME2L, ME2K, etc) nor is it available to add to the layout. I have configured the Scope of List for "BEST" (PO's) to include change documents. However, there is nothing when I go to ME2L for a PO that has 15 versions. I have verified that EKKO does contain the latest version number for this PO.
Have I missed a config step??

Umlauts not displayed correctly

Hi,
We have developed a screen in 12.1 and the umlauts (German & Spanish) are not display correctly. Is there a language pack / custom actions we need deploy for this to work properly?
Regards,
Chanti.

Its those special characters with a pair of dots on their head, like ä etc. These are not being displayed properly in the Web UI screens after upgrading to 12.1.
These special characters are coded in the alert/warning/error messages in a .js file. Two things here -
i) When we did the migration from 11.5 to 12.1, those got transformed to a [] (read squarebox) sorts. Are these something that the migration tool can't handle as desired?
ii) We fixed these characters manually in the code in 12.1. But when we run the script they are still not displayed correctly in the Web UI, for instance ä is being displayed as A~, something like that. Wondering if we need to deploy some custom actions or add a line at the top of .js or .html code?
Regards,
Chanti.

JPG images not displayed correctly in Bridge and Photoshop (Mac OS)

(Note: I have copied the content of this query from the Creative Suites forum where I originally opened it.)
I am using CS4 under OSX 10.4.11 on a PowerMac G5 Quad with 23" Apple cinema display. Images which have been captured as JPG are displayed fine by Preview, but when opened in Bridge, Camera Raw or Photoshop. the colours are all "washed out". The attached screen capture should give an idea of the difference, with the upper being Camera Raw (image settings) and the lower being Preview. My monitor has been calibrated and I'm using sRGB IEC61966-2.1 colour space in Camera Raw and Photoshop. The colours displayed by Preview are pretty close to "real life". I find it virtually impossible to adjust the colours in Photoshop to get back to anything similar.
After opening the image in Photoshop without adjustment, and Save As JPEG with embedded color profile, Preview displays the new image the same as Photoshop. Save As JPEG without embedded color profile, and Preview displays this copy just like the original. It seems that Photoshop is making different (incorrect) assumptions about what color space to use when there is no embedded color profile. Shouldn't it assume sRGB like virtually everything else (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRGB)? Or is its interpretation of sRGB incorrect? How can I fix this?

…If there is someone out there who has experience of obtaining decent colour management in CS4 on a Power PC, I would really like to know how you achieved it.
That would be yours truly, and I hasten to reply because I may have some insights that can help you too.
Just get it it out of the way, here's my setup:
Photoshop 11.0.2 ("CS4"); VersionCue disabled and uninstalled.—2.5 GHz Power Mac (PPC) G5-Quad; 16GB RAM; mutant, flashed 550MHz nVidia GeForce 7800GTX 1,700MHz 512MB VRAM; ATTO ExpressPCI UL5D LP SCSI card; Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11 and Leopard 10.5.8 boot drives; Spotblight, Dashboard and Time Machine permanently disabled; dual 22" CRT monitors; USB wireless 'n' available but connected to the Internet via wired Ethernet; 1 FW flatbed scanner; 2 SCSI scanners (one tabloid-size transparency scanner and a film scanner); various internal & external HDs; FW Epson 2200 and Ethernet Samsung ML-2850ND printers; 2 X Back-UPS RS 1500 XS units.
I can unambiguously and in good faith represent to you that my color management, from capture to print, is as spot-on as anyone with any kind of setup can hope to achieve. Unequivocally and without qualifications.
Now, first things first: Forget about trying to synchronize color management across the point applications lumped together only by Adobe marketing fiat into a variety of meaningless "creative suites". Concentrate on Photoshop. Do not try to use Bridge to synchronize anything.
The "suites" are a totally artificial construct created by Adobe bean counters and marketing types. The point applications (i.e. the individual programs clumsily bundled together, e.g. Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, etc.) are developed independently by separate engineering teams that are not only not in the same building, but in different cities, different states of the American Union, and even in different countries. They have very little communication among them, if any, as evidenced by repeated posts in these forums by Photoshop engineering staff urging us, the end users, to let the other teams know in their own forums that a given problem exists and is actually affecting our work.
Enough said about the cause of the problem. The end result is that Color Management is at very, very different levels of progress and sophistication in each individual point application, with only Photoshop fully entitled to be considered state of the art.
Secondly, a disclaimer: I have been hanging on to my CRT monitors and take care of them as Jascha Heifetz used to take care of his Stradivarius. I don't know what I will do if I manage to outlive the usefulness and accuracy of my CRTs (unlikely at this point). I have despaired in futile efforts to bring the luminosity of any LCD monitor down to where I would feel comfortable calibrating and profiling it. I believe my monitors are the foundation of my color management efforts.
Especially if you have one of the extreme wide-gamut LCD or LED monitors, you'll face an uphill battle.
Be careful to avoid any version 4 icc profiles, whether canned or generated by your calibration software. Stick to version2 icc profiles. Ask the manufacturer of your calibration software/hardware if in doubt.
Here are some not-too-recent, but thoroughly representative screen shots of the calibration results I obtain with my monitors, which I calibrate and profile often and regularly (I validate the calibration at least several times per month).
In a nutshell, my color management practices and settings mirror those described by Bruce Fraser, Jeff Schewe, Andrew Rodney and Gary Ballard's site. I have learned from all of them.
My working color space is ProPhoto RGB. I choose to work with PSD and PSB files. As a long-time, rabid JPEG hater, I only rarely deal with JPEGs, using them sporadically to illustrate a point in this forum or elsewhere in the web. My main output consists of prints.
I only deal with tagged image files (files with an embedded color profile) and often recommend beating up with a baseball bat any moron that hands you an untagged file—figuratively of course, but I find the expression gets my point across unambiguously.
Following is a screen shot of some of my pertinent settings:
Note that I have never bought into the "suite" concept myself. I do have and routinely use Adobe Illustrator 10.x, InDesign 2.x and Acrobat Professional 8.x, but they are all older, independent versions of each point application, licensed at different times.
Be further advised, that the answer to many problems offered by Adobe engineers often is not to install VersionCue, or uninstall it, or at least disable it.
Also, as outlined at the beginning of this post, concentrate on Photoshop, not on synchronizing applications that can't really communicate with each other, despite the claims of Adobe marketing hacks to the contrary.
One big caveat, do not fall into this trap:

You either want to learn, or you don't. You either want to solve your problems, or you don't.
When you start arguing instead of studying, questioning advice instead of following it and detecting where you went wrong, you're on the right track to nowhere. That attitude will get you there fast. Remember you are the one with the problem, and only you can acquire the discipline to learn how to solve it.
Go ahead and ask me anything that is not clear, just don't argue with me please, and don't tell me why you think Fraser, Rodney, Ballard and I are wrong. You see, I am not experiencing any problem that needs fixing. I have an interest in helping you, but not in hearing about your speculations, theories or conclusions.
Good luck.

The Forms are not displaying correctly

the Forms are not displaying correctly. Editing mode and printing mode are missing contents of notes/text field (Additional Notes, Background or Need, Project Summary). Second issue is when viewing/printing a Project Profile - Short Form, the text fields
are shrink, they are not displayed full high to show all the text. It was working with IE9, IE10, but now IE10 and IE11 dont work.

tested with Google Chrome and that seems to work the best in terms of viewing and printing the forms.
Then you could try spoofing Google Chrome using a User-Agent string override and Document mode Edge. Or open IECompatData.xml to see if you should have Compatibility View enabling Microsoft's list. Or report your problem symptom and
desired override here:

Permissions are not displaying correctly on Yosemite server

My file and folder permissions are not displaying correctly on my Yosemite server when viewed from a Yosemite client.
I have set these permissions from the server app on the server and have added local network groups for the appropriate folders on the share. When checked from the server's finder, everything looks correct. The server is setup for both AFP and SMB on file sharing. I have also tried setting permissions from the server's finder and seemed to make no difference.
When logged into from local or VPN Yosemite clients using AFP, the permissions do not show anything but postgres user and everyone group. Even though they should have network groups such as skoogfinancial, skoogmarketing, etc.
The server does seem to enforce the permissions correctly though a user cannot get into folders he does not have permissions for.
Therefore, it seems the server is enforcing correctly, but a user may not understand what is going on as the permissions list doesn't list anything meaningful.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
