Page not unlocking

Hello fellow Adapters

Maybe someone has had a similar issue as me. I’m experiencing, what seems like an error, on the system that unlocks pages.

The scenario is that I have two sub-menus each with a couple of pages. Both sub-menus have lock types of “custom”, and I’ve set the last page (Page A2) of the first sub-menu (Sub-menu A) to unlock the first page (Page B1) of the second submenu (Sub-menu B). We have done this many times before, so I know it has been working.

Sub-menu A

                Page A1

                Page A2   <- should unlock B1 when complete

Sub-menu B

                Page B1

                Page B2

The error is that when the user completes A2, B1 does not unlock. It is still: _isLocked = true. Only when the user exits the page and navigates back to the main menu does B1 unlock.

This is a problem, as I have a button on A2 that should navigate to B1, but it can’t as long as the page is locked.

I hope this makes sense and that someone can help. I’ve spent a long time trying to find out why this isn’t working.

We are using:
Adapt authoring tool v0.8.0
Adapt framework 2.4.0.

Thanks

Regards
Henrik

PS: Fun fact. If the user resizes the window, instead of going back to the main menu, B1 also unlocks…

It sounds a little bit like this issue.

But I think the bigger issue you will have is this:

We are using:
Adapt authoring tool v0.8.0
Adapt framework 2.4.0

We haven't done anything with Adapt FW 2.x for nearly a year now and I don't think there's much appetite from anyone to do anything further to it, as that would put us in the position of supporting four versions of the Adapt FW!

Alright. Thanks Matt.

I guess it could be the same issue and yes we are using an old version of Adapt (maybe too old), but we are relying on som plugins that only works in this version.

But maybe the time has come for a leap of faith and to update!

Going to v3 or v4 of the FW should be fairly low-risk. I'd aim for v4 if you can.
