How are variables stored in cookies?
May 3, 2011 12:00 AM
Can someone explain to me how the values of variables are stored in cookies? Here's what I would like to do:
We have a number of courses (but for argument's sake, let's say 2) published to html and sitting on a webserver (not in an LMS) to be accessed by learners. Course A & B have the following design: on the last page of each chapter there is an action (on show >> modify variable (Chapter1(or 2 or 3)_complete) >> value = complete); there is a similar action to modify the lesson status (on show >> modify AICC_Lesson_Status >> value = c >> if Chapter1( & 2 & 3, etc)_complete = complete).
What I need to be able to do is create a webpage (a single page course in Lectora) from which the learner could launch the courses and where, upon completing a course, a checkmark would appear before the course hyperlink (i.e., conditional on the Chapter1_complete = c for that course).
Is there a way to use the existing courses and their variables (which are the same from course to course; i.e., they would all have a Chapter1_ complete, Chapter2_complete, etc.) to achieve this? Which also leads me back to my initial question - how are these values stored in cookies when they have the same variable names?
