@Heidi,

The existing bookmark widget is not compatible with Captivate 5 since the Widget API has been changed quite a lot.

I am in the process of re-developing the widget so it will work with Captivate 5 as well so keep an eye on this blog. Hopefully it should be ready in a couple of days or so.

I purchased the bookmark widget a while back, before I had Captivate installed. Now, I have installed Captivate 5 and I am unable to locate the Bookmark widget. Can some help walk me through re-installing it?

Hi Matt,

Q1: No it doesn’t. That is not possible. See the explanation under “Requirements / Specifications” in the post above.

Q2:You as a user can check manually if a bookmark has been created by going to the Shared Objects location on your machine, but there is no way to display an icon on a Table of Content page automatically. This would require custom Flash components in order to check for a bookmark and display an icon.

Hope this answers your questions – if not just shoot again ;o)

Hi Michael,

Q1: Does the bookmark not store user answers for quizzes? When I return to my captivate swf, the answers I already filled in say “You did not answer this question completely” when I review the test.

Q2: Is there a way to tell if a bookmark has been created? I have links to my captivate swfs on a “table of contents” page and would like to display an icon beside each link if there is a bookmark.

Thanks,
-Matt

Hi Vince,

As long as you are delivering the courses through your own website then the regular single user license is just fine. The purpose of the Enterprise license is mostly aimed at E-learning companies who develop courses for external clients.

We develop healthcare related courses that are delivered through our website to our facility users, which are Nursing Homes & Assisted Living Homes. Noone actually buys the product outright but pays a fee to take the online class. Which version would we need to purchase? Thanks.

Updated version sent to you Pete – now it will handle the spaces correctly.

@ Pete,

That’s an error. Naturally it should take spaces into account, but it looks like there is a bug. I will fix it now and send you an updated version by email.

Michael, it looks like the bookmark with user defined input will not accept any spaces! If one enters spaces, the entry won’t be recognized upon returning to the session. That explains why I couldn’t use the pre-filled entry as a login.
