Hi,
I am using Pipeworks SCORM 1.2 wrapper and we have Cornerstone LMS. I published a course and it has some issue.
As soon as user finish visiting all the pages it is marking as complete, the problem here is as soon as user goto the last page the course window is automatically closing.
I wanted to to force user to close the window instead of automatically closing.
is there any code needs to be changed in the javascript file?

Some LMSs will automatically close the course window when it receives a call to LMSTerminate. The Pathlore platform I work with most often has this behavior. From what you have described it appears LMSTerminate is being called without user action on the last page, probably in an onload event. You need to find where LMSTerminate is being called and delay it until the user takes some action on that last page. I tie my LMSTerminate call to the unload/beforeunload event and have an exit button that calls window.close. Coding this way will also ensure LMSTerminate is called if the user closes the browser with any alternative method (Alt+F4 or browser close button (red X)).

Hi Ajay
That behavior is handled by the LMS and is not controlled by SCORM or the pipwerks wrapper. The only way to avoid it is to not set the course to complete until the window is closed by the user, which is a dangerous approach. Try contacting your LMS vendor to see if there is an option in the LMS settings.

I think the issue is not the setting of the completed status in the cmi object. It's probably the firing of the LMSFinish/Terminate method. Many LMS's will close down the window when those are called.

Thanks everyone for your quick replay.
What would be the best approach? I have already informed my LMS vendor and waiting for response.
this is the function i can see in the index.html page.
window.onunload = function (){
if(scorm.connection.isActive){
scorm.quit();
}
}
Thanks,
Ajay

See if scorm.quit is called anywhere else on the final page before the unload/beforeunload events are fired.
