Category: Release Notes

Last location loader enhancement

We have now implemented an update for downloaded courses to suppress the last location update notification if it is not required.

Progress indicators in footer bar navigation in multilingual course

We have updated the progress indicator to address an issue where by the progress indicator was not visible on first visit to a topic when the course is accessed in an alternate language.

Subscreen close action update

In relation to the subscreen close action (released in version 3.5.13) we have addressed an issue where by learners were unable to relaunch a subscreen if it was closed using the new action.

Smartphone deep linking support for continuous scroll topics

Further to the addition of deep linking to specific screens in a continuous scrolling topic in version 3.5.10, we have now extended this support for smartphone devices to ensure that the topic does not default to the first screen when sub-screens are used.

SVG IE8 fallback update

We have addressed an issue with SVG support to ensure that the fallback methods are called correctly when content is launched in Internet Explore 8.

Question bank question completion

We have updated the question bank completion logic to address an issue whereby the correctness state of a question was set incorrectly if the question screen included supplementary screen interactions prior to the question (e.g. a button linking to a sub-screen).

Addition of support for custom extras

In conjunction with work being undertaken for a client, we have made a number of enhancements to the extras functionality in gomo (e.g. Help, glossary, search) to allow custom extras to be developed and deployed for specific customers.

NetDimension PENS integration

The gomo team are pleased to announce that we have now added PENS integration with the NetDimensions Talent Suite product. If you use the NetDimensions Talent Suite LMS (NTS), you can publish directly from gomo authoring to NTS. Further information is available on our blog.

Sub-screen positioning enhancements

To improve the control and positioning of sub-screens when used in a continuous scroll topic, we have made a number of enhancements to the sub-screen logic to allow greater positioning control within a custom theme.

Carousel enhancement for continuous scrolling topics

We have updated an issue whereby a carousel would display incorrectly in some scenarios if used in a continuous scroll topic.

Continuous scroll asset loading enhancements

Continuous scroll topics show content as a single sequence of scrollable pages. To improve the the way in which content is shown for each screen in the topic we have updated the way in which the content is pre-loaded and then shown when the screen you scroll to becomes active.

New Action – Close subscreen

Whilst subscreens can be closed using the default close button for the subscreen, we have now added in a ‘close subscreen’ action. This will allow you to trigger the closure of a subscreen with a button or text link. This is useful when you are building content whereby a ‘Continue’ button or similar is useful within the screen / topic design.

Search extra now supports projects with content banks

We have now updated the search extra so it is compatible with projects that use questions banks. It is worth noting that the search extra wont return results from a content bank as the content is randomly loaded.

New caching method to improve update delivery

When releasing new functionality for the gomo editor some customers have experienced issues where by their web browser was aggressively caching older versions of core files which then caused problems with the new functionality. To address this we have updated our versioning system to overcome these caching issues.

Audio files in a films strip on smartphones

We have addressed an issue where by audio assets added to a filmstrip would fail to play on smartphone if the audio was not on the first filmstrip item.
