Is there a way to set the SCORM activity to open in a new browser tab instead of in a pop up window?
We come across issues with users who use pop-up blockers and therefore cannot access the SCORM modules.
Opening in same window is too small, of course.
Any suggestions?
Hi Amir,
What moodle version are you using? - Moodle 2.3 has a change that gets around pop-up blockers as long as the skip content strucutre page isn't set to "yes" - there are a few other improvements that are planned which will hopefully improve things further too. These changes aren't possible in the 1.9.x branch but can possibly be manually backported to earlier 2.x versions if required.
checkout MDL-29975 for the change already in 2.3 and MDL-33755 for one of the planned changes which will hopefully help further.
heh - just realised that I'd recognised your name
both those patches will be in t2-integration in the next few weeks but the part that improves the pop-up generation can't be backported to 1.9 very easily - the problem for 1.9 is that the SCORM API sits on the parent window and needs to trigger the pop-up itself for the api communication to work - we've rewritten the player in 2.x and it now always runs the api in the same window, embedding the scorm package in the page.
hope that helps.
Hi Dan.
In this specific case it's a 2.2 so your info will help.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Amir,
We have now the same problem in 2.6. We would like to run it in the new tab and for the presentation (HTML5 done in the iSpring) to use the whole browser window. Did you have any success with it?
Thank you,
Gennady
