## Description

Attach a Storyline or SCORM 1.2 package to a LearnDash Topic, and learners launch
it from the topic page in a player that runs inside your site. Results come back
from the package and are stored against the learner’s attempt.

What the plugin does:

 * Upload, replace and manage a package from the LearnDash Topic editor
 * Validate and extract the ZIP, and harden the extracted files against direct execution
 * Launch the package in a tokenised player, checked against LearnDash access rules
   on every launch
 * Record what the package reports: score, completion status and pass or fail, exactly
   as sent
 * Save suspend data so a learner can resume an interrupted attempt where they left
   off
 * Show learners their attempt status, attempt count and activity on the topic page
 * Give administrators a report grouped by learner and topic, with the best score
   for each
 * Let learners complete a topic with the standard LearnDash “Mark complete” button

Completion stays in the learner’s hands: this plugin records results and leaves 
the LearnDash button in place. Automatic topic completion, completion rules, attempt
limits and detailed reporting are in a separate Pro add-on distributed from our 
own site.

#### Pro add-on

Lessonbay SCORM Player Pro is a separate, paid add-on. It is not needed to use this
plugin, and nothing here is locked without it. It adds:

 * Automatic LearnDash topic completion from the package result
 * Completion rules per topic, including a passing-score threshold
 * A limit on attempts per learner
 * Detailed reports with every attempt, CSV export and attempt deletion

LearnDash must be active. Topic mapping and access checks depend on it.

#### Trademarks

LearnDash is a trademark of Liquid Web, LLC. Articulate, Storyline and Rise are 
trademarks of Articulate Global, LLC. This plugin is an independent project and 
is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by either company. Their names
are used only to describe the software this plugin works with.

### External services

This plugin does not connect to any external service. Packages are stored and served
from your own site, and no data leaves your installation.

### Usage

 1. Open a LearnDash Topic in the WordPress admin.
 2. In the `SCORM package` box, tick `Enable SCORM/Storyline module on this topic`.
 3. Upload a package ZIP, or pick one already uploaded to this topic.
 4. Choose whether learners may resume an open attempt, and set the launch button label.
 5. Save the Topic.
 6. Learners with access to the topic see the launch box on the front end.
 7. Attempts appear under `Tools -> SCORM report`.

### Privacy

Lessonbay SCORM Player stores learner attempt records in custom database tables 
inside your WordPress site.

Stored data can include:

 * WordPress user ID
 * Topic/course/lesson IDs linked to attempts
 * Attempt status and timestamps
 * Runtime values needed for resume/tracking

None of it is sent anywhere. The plugin makes no outbound requests.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate the plugin from the WordPress Plugins screen.
 3. Confirm LearnDash LMS is installed and active.
 4. Configure plugin defaults under `Settings -> Lessonbay SCORM`.
 5. Edit a LearnDash Topic and use the `SCORM package` metabox to attach a package.

## FAQ

### Does the plugin support LearnDash access rules?

Yes. Launch access is checked against LearnDash before a runtime session is created.

### Can learners resume an attempt?

Yes. Suspend data sent by the package is stored, so a learner returning to the topic
can carry on where they stopped. Resume can be turned off per topic.

### Does the plugin mark the LearnDash topic complete?

No. It records what the package reports and leaves the standard LearnDash “Mark 
complete” button for the learner to use. Marking the topic complete automatically
from the package result is part of the separate Pro add-on.

### Is a score shown to learners?

The topic page shows the attempt status, how many attempts have been taken and when.
Scores are shown to administrators on the reports screen. Without a passing threshold,
which belongs to the completion rules in the Pro add-on, a score on its own does
not tell a learner whether they succeeded.

### What does the package have to send?

Standard SCORM 1.2 calls are understood. Web exports without a manifest can report
status through the plugin’s bridge messages instead.

### Where are packages stored?

Extracted packages are stored in the WordPress uploads area managed by the plugin,
with hardening files written to help prevent PHP execution.
