Everything we know about Cornerstone on Demand and Storyline!
I thought I would start a thread about Cornerstone on Demand so there's a central place for people to read and add to. There seems to be a dearth of information about how CSOD and Storyline interac...
Hi Will, I share your pain. This is a common issue I've come across and it's not a Storyline issue - plenty about it online if you Google it.
Any material we've created, whether it be a SCORM file, PDF or otherwise behaves in exactly this way since an update to Google Chrome which makes all links open up in the existing window in a new tab, thus appearing over the course so our employees think they have lost the original course window.
Is there a magic fix that can be put in place in Google Chrome that solves this for multiple software? I couldn't find an answer, but it would be nice to at least solve it for Storyline files. (Our old Storyline 1 files work fine and are not overridden by Google Chrome)
Also it's worth noting if users opt for Internet Explorer instead they all work as intended.
If someone has cracked this I'd love to know too!
One rabbit hole I went down was to turn all of the links in a module into clickable Web Objects that open the link in a pop-up window (use Custom or Full Screen window size). I replaced the image of the web object with a screenshot of the hyperlink. When the user clicks the web object image, it opens the linked page a pop-up window.
This works great in Chrome (as long as pop-ups are ENABLED), but in Internet Explorer 11, the pop-up window HAS NO SCROLLBARS, even if the content doesn't fit vertically. At least that is a fix if you are linking to a page with very short content (or maybe directly to a PDF that will size appropriately). We were toying with the idea of linking to an HTML page with an iframe containing the real page we want to see if that would show scroll bars in IE.
