Must answer question to exit
June 11, 2008 12:00 AM
Is it possible to circumvent the "Ensure that student answers all questions on the test" function for a specific button?I have a course that is published to HTML and I want to make sure that each question is answered. However, if I decide to exit during a test section. I get a Message box "You must answer all of the questions to continue."I had this issue before, but it was on an executable version of a course. I would just choose a random answer and then click exit... no big deal. However, for this online course things get considerably more complicated. Let me try to explain.These online courses are being used by different preset companies and are being charged per view. To avoid users from typing the wrong company name or choosing the wrong company name from a drop down, each company is given an access code. This access code identifies the company to the course as well as allows them access to the course. At the end of the course, the company name as well as the score and user information are sent to a database.To avoid users from browsing the course and extracting information, each page checks for a proper access code. If the access code does not exist, or is in correct, the user is redirected back to the "Enter your Access Code" screen.Also, to avoid accidental exits, the exit button reveals a hidden "Are you sure.." layer containing two buttons. Exit and continue. Exit resets all variables and redirects the user to a web address. Continue just hides the "Are you sure.." layer.Soooooooo, when I am in a test and select exit without first chosing an answer, the exit button resets my access code and tries to redirect me. But Lectora wont let me because I havent answered the question. So now I have no access code. I answer the question and click next, then the next page automatically tries to redirect me before I have a chance to answer a question... This goes on until I am out of the test section. My immediate fix would be to have the exit button reset the specific user variables and not the access code, or have all the variables reset at the first screen and not by the exit button.. This would allow the user to eventually chose a random answer then exit the course. However, I was wondering if someone knew how to make a specific button exempt from this "must answer question" requirement. If not, any other suggestions would be much appreciated.I hope that made sense... for those of you who got lost. All I need to know is, Can I make an exit button that can bypass the "must answer question" requirement?Edited By: OQSG on 2008-6-11 11:54:19
