We have some interactive slide where the user clicks on the page the menu check mark gets updated.
But on the slide where there is no activity, after clicking the next button the menu check mark is not updated.

How can we update the menu check marks on each slide where there is no activity (Static/image/text only page)?

Can me and my team talk to you on the phone to discuss a little bit? Please feel free to email me at deepakkumar@maximus.com. We are actually going live next Monday.

We are ready to procure the software but need more solid info, Adobe has been unresponsive.

Thanks,

Deepak

The widget should work just fine with any LMS and any CMS since it uses Shared Objects to save the bookmark. This is not affected by LMS/CMS issues at all.

The widget will set a bookmark for any content created in Captivate 4 and take the user to their last visited page in that module. In order to use it you simple insert the component / widget on the first slide in your Captivate project and set it to display for rest of slide. That is all.

A help document is included in the package when you purchase the widget.

We are using PeopleSoft ELM module and building our contents using Adobe Captivate 4. Everything works fine other than the bookmarking. Is it necessary to purchase the bookmarking widget? And, if it is.. how is it going to be utilized with PeopleSoft?

Can any one help?

Thanks

Very sorry for that. I have been updating some links on the site and apparantly I missed that one.

Here is the correct link where you can buy the component: http://www.captivate4.com/2009/05/04/captivate-bookmark-widget/

I also updated the link in the post now.

Thanks for letting me know!

Best regards,

I would like to purchase your shared object bookmark component, but the “To buy the product click here” link on http://www.captivate4.com/2009/02/25/captivate-shared-object-bookmark/ produces a 404 error.

Kind regards,

Sorry for the late reply, but I have been working on a freelance project for a client.

I don’t know if my component is the only way to achieve it but it is the only one that I am aware off. My component was originally built for Captivate 3 so at that time the TOC wasn’t available.

I know at least one customer who bought this is using it together with the CP4 TOC. However having the Self Paced Learning enabled in the TOC and using this component at the same time will result in problems.

In regards to your last question my guess would be that it would go to whichever bookmark gets read first. Meaning that if the TOC initializes first then that bookmark would be read – if my component initializes first then it would go to that bookmark. I don’t recommend to use these two things together.

I got your email so I sent you a demo version of the bookmark component. That way you can try it out yourself and see if you can use it.

Best regards,
Michael

I’m interested in purchasing this component but I have a couple of questions:

I’m using the default TOC (with a few modifications such as no playback controls) for a project and it comes with a bookmarking feature (the little star) – what I’d like is for users to be able to bookmark when needed and UN-bookmark when needed so they can go to different slides or the start of the course etc. So far nothing seems to be able to do this – except your component that AT LEAST asks the user whether they want to start from the beginning or resume from the bookmarked spot. Is this component the only way to acheive bookmarking and “un bookmarking”?

Also how will adding this component affect the TOC? If a user clicks on the bookmarking feature in the TOC will the project choose that bookmark or the bookmark created by your component when the user closes the window? Sorry for all the questions – I’m basically figuring out Captivate in trial and error mode!

Thanks for your help,

Aarti

I’m happy to hear that the component is working out for you ;o)
