Hello. I am having an issue with imported SCORM objects. I have changed/modified the values for the stage width/height, but it doesn't seen to make a difference. It looks like no matter what I do, when I try to view the scorm package in the same window, it will not resize the stage (see attachment.)
I have tried a few solutions for simialr problems, but I've had no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Ron,
Thanks so much for the response. When I open it in a new window, everything seems to be fine. Do you think that this is an issue with the SCORM module that I've imported? I've tried a few and I get the same results with all of them. They were all created with Outstart's Evolution LCMS.
If it is an issue with the imported module, is this a setting I could change in the SCORM zip before I import it? Is so, where would I modify this setting in the SCORM package?
Thanks again!
Andrew
Thanks Dan and David,
I just installed a fresh copy of 1.9.3 late last week, and I'm still not having any luck. For me, it is not responding to height or width settings.

We are having the same problem since updating from v1.9 to v1.9.4
Previously, the content displayed properly but now the stage height seems reduced as some content is not appearing at the bottom of the stage (see fig attached).
The full content is shown if I set the package to open in a new window but the associated navigation and exit screen tends to confuse the students.
I’ve changed the stage settings on the update page and tried different themes to no avail.
It would be nice to have it working OK with the ‘same window’ option.
Moodle v1.9.4
MySQL v5.0.37
PHP v5.2.1
Windows 2003 Server
IIS v6
Many thanks

Hi everybody:
I have the same problem with SCORM. I'm not sure if it's because of the version of Internet Explorer, but before I installed the new version 8, I had moodle 1.9.3 and 1.9.4 with Internet Explorer 7 and everything worked perfectly with SCORM.
I've tried to solve the problem since then, however the only way I'm able to work with my packages is to open them in a new window.
Today I found SCORM is not the only mod with trouble. I'm using page format in my course and all the windows open in a size of 50 x 50 no more.
Maybe someone can help!!!!
Thank you very much.
PD. By the moment I'll try the solution by Joe Wieloch to see if that solves the problem with SCORM
Hi
This problem can be related to your theme configuration. In some themes the stylesheets that form your page can be turned off!
Open the folder of your selected theme! Edit config.php with notepad or similar. Be sure that the parameters;
$THEME->modsheets = true;
and
$THEME->blocksheets = true;
or both set to true.
Save and clean your temporary internetfiles in the browser.
I Hope that solves it!

Hi Sid
Be sure to have a copy of the files config.php and styles.php in the theme you are using. Compare them with the ones in "standard theme"
The style for the TOC box is in root\mod\scorm\styles.php and the class is #mod-scorm-player #tocbox.
Use a DOM inspector (like DebugBar) to verify this!

I too was having trouble with the resizing of SCORM modules and after reading this post i have managed to come up with a solution which works for me.
The file i had to edit was root\mod\scorm\styles.php as mentioned in the previous post.
However i edited:
.mod-scorm .scoframe {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
mess around with the height attribute and u'll find that the SCORM stage increase / decreases. I settled for a size of 127%, anything bigger than this i found that moodle added a scroll bar to the SCORM which i did not want
Hope this helps anyone else with this problem
I had the same problem and finally found a good fix. I believe the issue is actually a bug in the two files
This issues still exists in moodle 1.9.10
Here is the fix. Right around line 80 in rd.js replace everything from the opening if (toctree != null) { to the closing bracket } with the following.
if (toctree != null){
var toctreeHeight = toctree.offsetHeight;
//document.getElementById('toctree').style.height = finalheighttoc + 'px';
var scoframe2 = document.getElementById('scoframe1');
scoframe2.style.height=cheight + 'px';
scoframe2.style.width=cwidth + 'px';
document.getElementById('scormobject').style.height = finalheight + 'px';
}else{
var scoframe2 = document.getElementById('scoframe1');
scoframe2.style.height=cheight + 'px';
scoframe2.style.width=cwidth + 'px';
document.getElementById('scormobject').style.height = finalheight + 'px';
}
On mod/scorm/player.php on line 285 move the iframe tag below the script tag. It should look like this.
echo "<iframe id=\"scoframe1\" class=\"scoframe\" name=\"scoframe1\" src=\"{$fullurl}\"></iframe>\n";
echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\">scorm_resize(".$scorm->width.", ".$scorm->height.");</script>\n";
In short the specified height was getting applied to the toctree div instead of the iframe and with the call to resize the iframe before it was printed you'd get a null value. This is why the iframe must come before the script tag.
Hope this helps.
Hi Dave, thanks for sharing this! - the player in Moodle 2.0 has been completely rewritten and should display a lot better than it has in the past - I'd be happy to add this above fix to 1.9.10 but it would need to be tested in all browsers with both standard and custom themes before we could include it - can you please give more information on what you've tested this with?
Thanks Dan!,
I've tested it in IE8, Chrome and Firefox 3.6.12 browsers. I've also tested with the darkb, standard and funky_black themes. In all cases the iframe adjusts to the height and width specified, even on the smaller width of the funky_black theme the scorm module displayed the size specified.
Getting this in 1.9.10+ would be great! Not to mention it would be one less thing for me to re-factor with when I do updates.
While the new scorm player for Moodle 2 looks great I can't upgrade to moodle 2 for awhile. The biggest hold up for me is that the makers of face-to-face have not publish their upgraded module yet. I'm also not happy Moodle 2 requires PHP 5.2 but those are the breaks.
Thanks Dave! - can you please create a new bug in the tracker with your code?
I've created a bug here with some additional information and attached the code.

Let me know if I can be of any additional assistance.
