Captivate 5.5 SCORM settings
by Chris Myatt - Wednesday, 21 March 2012, 5:52 PM
 

I am having some issues with my Captivate 5.5 modules. They load fine in Totara if I do not have enable reporting active but if I turn on reporting (SCORM 1.2) the module does not load in Totara (ie sits on the loading screen and does not start module). I have done google searches on the topic but nothing stood out. Are there any special settings I need to apply in Captivate to make them run in Totara? I have tried almost every combination of settings.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Chris

There was some discussion on this on https://totara.community/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=16820#p2058 as below hopefully this helps.

Captivate 5 has a number of bugs that have caused problems. Including SCO activities getting stuck on the gray loading page. 

This is a problem in how Captivate communicates with Totara.

It is fixablable:

  1. Publish the Captivate file as SCORM.
  2. Open the HTML wrapper file with the same name as your course.
  3. Find the following line of code:
    1. strURLParams += (strURLParams==""?"?":"&") + "SCORM_API=" + g_zAPIVersion + "&SCORM_TYPE=" + g_intAPIType;
  4. Change the line of code to:
    1. strURLParams = "?SCORM_API=" + g_zAPIVersion + "&SCORM_TYPE=" + g_intAPIType;
  5. Save the HTML file and zip up all the files.
  6. Upload zip to LMS.
