Trouble with action conditional tab!
July 12, 2011 12:00 AM
Dear all,
I am experiencing difficulty with using a condition in an action property.
I have two AU’s in my lesson (the lesson and the test) but the lesson portion needs to have a value of 7 subtracted from the total number of lesson pages (to compensate for invisible non-lesson pages).
The problem is that I do not want this value (7) subtracted in the test AU because it gives an incorrect total page count.
The action properties are as follows:
On: Show
Action: Modify Variable
Target: NewTotalInTitle
Value: 7
Modification Type: Subtract from Variable
*Condition tab *
Checked – Perform action ONLY if the following is TRUE:
Variable: AUTitleName
Relationship: Contains
Value: Course:
*Else tab *
Checked – If the conditions are not met, perfor the following action:
Action: Modify Variable
Target: NewTotalInTitle
Value: 0
Modification Type: Subtract from Variable
Adding the conditional tab makes the action fail. I have also tried an “Equal To” relationship, different variations of the “Value”.
In debug mode, I have confirmed that the “Value” for “CurrentTitleName” is valid… actually it is, “Course: CSE301TTEN” but using “Contains” should make “Course:” valid, correct? Anyhow, I have also tried the full AUTitleName with no success. I also tried a relationship of “Does Not Contain” and a value of "Test" but that too failed to work. In all cases, I am careful to maintain correct spelling and capitalization.
It appears as though the conditional tab is being ignored.
Anyone?
