Microsoft SCORM Package works with Firefox, but not with Internet Explorer

Thanks for the tipps! With IE7-mode it actually works.

I also had the problem, that the theme didn't work with IE7, so I switched the SCORM-course to open in a new window and changed the head for the popup.

As one little addition I've added the following condition:

<?php if ($modname == 'scorm') {echo("<meta http-equiv='X-UA-Compatible' content='IE=7' />");}?>

Now it should only use the IE7-mode for SCORM-popups. In the first tests it seems to work fine.

 

Thanks again!

Christoph

hello,

i also have this issue

i want to know what's the meaning of string $modname  in your code?

<?php if ($modname == 'scorm') {echo("<meta http-equiv='X-UA-Compatible' content='IE=7' />");}?>

when i add it, i got the error HTTP 500


and when i just add the below code ,my SCORM will work, but my theme Clean couldn't work well

<meta http-equiv='X-UA-Compatible' content='IE=7' />


and i try to change the condition to detect the URL, it means when the URL has keyword "player.php", i set the IE=7 or 8

<?php if ($some URL RULE) {echo("<meta http-equiv='X-UA-Compatible' content='IE=7' />");}?>

right now, i'm working on the 3rd solution

thank you

update my 3rd solution -----but, it will display an HEEP 500 ERRORsad

<?php if ($some URL RULE) {echo("<meta http-equiv='X-UA-Compatible' content='IE=7' />");}?>

Change it to

<?php
    $url = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
    $filename = basename($url,".php");
    if($filename == "player"){
    	echo ("<meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="IE=10">");
	}
?>

I get HTTP 500 ERROR, WHY?


After this, i find another(4st) solution:

it aims to change the SCORM's IE compatiblity:

find two files (index_lms.html and player.html) in the unzipped scorm package, then add the below code into their <HEAD> tag:

<meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="IE=10">


It works well!smile

Hi Moten,
your code above returns an HTTP 500 due to the incorrect use of unescaped double quotes i.e. it will work if you'll write:

echo '<meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content='IE=10">';

Note: you are not required to use parentheses since echo is not actually a function, it is a language construct.

HTH,
Matteo

Hello Matteo,

It works!

Thank you very much.


So, right now, there're two ideas to reslove the issue:

  • Add the below code into the tag <HEAD>, which is in your theme's popup file(maybe not popup.php, in theme Clean, it's at ../theme/clean/layout/general.php)
    <meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content='IE=8">
       If just add this line, the page of display SCORM must be open in a new window to prevent the HTML5 theme from being crashed.
       So, i add some URL rule to control this:
<?php
        $url = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
        $filename = basename($url,".php");
        if($filename == "player"){
            echo ('<meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="IE=8">');
        }
?>
But, maybe this solution has a potential risk: I dont' know whether there is any other module use the same name "player.php"
  • Also add the below code into the tag <HEAD>, which is in your SCORM package HTML file(index_lmss.html and player.html together control my SCORM's IE compatiblity, in some SCORM version, the index.html control it----i'm not sure this )
<meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content='IE=10">


Anyway, i think i have resloved my issue, hopefully it's helpful for others.


thanks,

Hello Moten,

Just want to point out a slight error in your code.  You have unbalanced quotes around IE=8.  

You have:

<meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content='IE=8">

It should be:

<meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="IE=8">
