Need Help with Menu item
December 3, 2014 12:00 AM
I need a workaround so that users can access menu items if a section (within a chapter) is complete. I have tried individual invisible buttons over specific menu items, but the menu seems always to go on top - no matter where I place the invisible buttons in the title explorer and despite having checked always on top. A condition within menu items would allow me to prevent access, but that does not exist in the menu function so I need a workaround. Any help is appreciated.

a) build your own menu with buttons and conditional actions instead of the automated one.
b) add "permission check" on the chapter pages, so that if the user shouldn't be in this chapter yet, he's auto-directed back.
You can also create actions which return the user to the last page if they attempt to go somewhere they are not yet allowed. For example, add a couple actions to your "blocked" pages:
* On Show, Display Message, "You have not completed the prerequisites...blah blah blah" (Whatever message you want)
CONDITION: Chapter 1 Is In Progress or Is Not Started
* On Show, Go To Last Visited Page
CONDITION: Chapter 1 Is In Progress or Is Not Started
(Update this for your specific conditions)
So what will happen, when a student makes a selection for that page, if the conditions are not met (i.e., the requirements are not completed) your message will appear, and then the student will be returned to the last page they were on.
