Hi Jullian

There isn't any rlm file or models folder in my files. Am I doing anything
wrong? How can I test your attached file?

I noticed also that if I export the lesson in scorm 2004 format I don't get
the error but the grades remain 0.

I've asked for lots of things - don't always get them! ;-) But that's great
going to test shortly!

Yes, the quiz one does. I thought you'd asked for that??

Hi Julian

Does that mean the quiz page template does actually send scores? I was under
the impression there wasn't any score tracking built in to that template.

Cheers

Ron

Can you swap your quiz.rlm for thoe one attached and see if it sorts the
problem out? It goes in the models folder alongside your rlt. I was sending
a number from Xerte. I'm pretty sure all the SCORM functions need strings.?

Are you using the templates in Xerte?

Ok,

That depens on the package. In our case, we call de scorm functions
(setValue, getValue) from our custom interface, an swf. If is the same with
your package, you'll need the .fla file with the code, not enough with the
compiled .swf file.

But it's possible de scorm functions are called from your .rlo file instead,
so install Xerte and edit your .rlo file, and look for the two functions I
mentioned before on the script pages.

Sorry I cannot explain better, I use custom autolearned English J.

To be honest I didn't create the packages. I don't know many things about
the creation of scorm packages and xerte. Can you please tell me how can I
check what value is passing in setValue function?

Are you sure you are passing the correct value to the setValue function? It
expects a number I guess and maybe he gets a null or a string, whatever,
check your code J

Hello

I use moodle 1.9.4 and xerte 2.0 to produce scorm packages  and I'm having a
little problem with the quizzes. I want to keep the score but when I'm
answering the questions and hit the submit button I get the error "Incorrect
data type" and the score remains 0.  Can anyone help me?

Thanks,

Leo
