Hi Gabe,

It will be possible to pull out the final quiz score (the percentage) and any other data that is available in the system variables in Captivate.

Take a look here: http://www.cpguru.com/2009/04/28/system-variables-in-captivate-4-%e2%80%93-a-complete-list/. Basically all variables under “quizzing” can be included in the email sent to you.

I recommend that you try out the widget as it is right now and ensure that this will work for you. Once you have verified this then send me an email through my site and we can work out the customizations.

Hi Michael,

That is correct. Using the Captivate email function, the end user is promopted with a security warning.

Until we can purchase a licensed LMS, we would like the results to be sent to us via-email – and wanted to know if the widget would be able to pull the quiz results and allow the end user to send from the widget.

Thanks for your prompt response.

Hi Gabe,
What do you mean with “the text field of the widget”?
Are you looking for a modification so it sends the quiz score in the email as well?

Is it possible for the email widget to pull quiz results and input into the text field of the widget?

What would you recommend?

Thanks,
Gabe

Aah my bad. I actually wrote v_Name and it should of course have been v_email. I will update the post here so there is no confusion. The widget properties does state that you should use the v_email variable, but of course when the post says otherwise then it’s confusing.

In regards to the domainn that is correct. Actually http://www.cpguru.com and cpguru.com are two separate domains so you should always use the correct format. Most hosts have it set up so cpguru.com will automatically open http://www.cpguru.com, but sometimes this is not done automatically.

After some thorough testing with the email widget, I realized that the “v_email” variable worked for me but not “v_Name”. That’s when I was getting the userID as “undefined”. Michael any thoughts about this?
I also found out that if your domain is listed as “domain.com” in your FormMail script, then you probably should not add the www prefix since the widget may not work correctly (even though technically it’s correct). At least it didn’t for me until I got rid of it…

Michael,
The widget works well except that I only receive an “undefined” for the UserID. I’ve made to sure assign v_Name to the TEB. In fact, I used your Cp project file and just changed the widget parameters (location of script and email address). Any ideas what’s causing this?
