Tracking page by page views

Scott,I have another solution for you that is simple (at least I think so) first you will need to have a unique variable for each section/chapter that you are tracking. Next you will need to have 3 different states/graphics/buttons for each section/chapter on your course menu (not attempted, attempted, and completed).On each page within a chapter (example use variable: chpt_1) you will add an action, the action properties will be as follows Action Name: chpt_1 = 1 (I do this so I can keep track of what it is, the “= 1” changes when it is place it on consecutive pages – so on page 2 it would be chpt_1 = 2) On:Show Action: Modifiy Variable Target: chpt_1 (this you also need to set to retain variable value between sessions - that way when ever the learner leaves and then comes back to the course he/she will know if he/she has completed or started a chapter.) Value: 1 Modification Type: Add to Variable Condition: Variable: chpt_1 Relationship: Less Than Value:1 (this value changes as the page number changes, so on page 2 the value is 2) – this keeps the value the same as the page no matter how many times the learner visits the page.Continue placing this on each page within the chapter/section (for this example there will be 5)Now move to your Menu page on your menu page you will need 3 action scripts for each chapter. Start by making your 3 states/graphics/buttons (not attempted, attempted, and completed), initially invisible (uncheck the visible state). The first action script will be to show not attempted Action: chpt_1 <1 = not attempted (again this is to let me know what this action is doing- you can change it to what ever you want) On: Show Action: Show Target: chpt1_na (this is the name of my graphic/button) Condition: Variable: chpt_1 Relationship: Less Than Value: 0The second action script will be to show attempted Action: chpt_1 <1 >5= attempted (again this is to let me know what this action is doing- you can change it to what ever you want) On: Show Action: Show Target: chpt1_a (this is the name of my graphic/button) Condition: Variable: chpt_1 Relationship: Grater Than Value: 0 Variable: chpt_1 Relationship: Less Than Value: 5 (the number of pages within the chapter/section) – be sure to check All of the Following.The third action script will be to show completed Action: chpt_1 <1 = completed (again this is to let me know what this action is doing- you can change it to what ever you want) On: Show Action: Show Target: chpt1_c (this is the name of my graphic/button) Condition: Variable: chpt_1 Relationship: Less Than Value: 4 (this is one less than the total number of pages within the chapter/section)That is it I hope it works for you
