Hints and Tips
Here are some hints and tips that you may find useful. More of these will be coming soon!
You can access the Intervention Manager in Preview mode by typing the following in your web browser: http://localhost:38180/home The username and password are both admin. This function is useful when testing in preview mode as it allows you to check the pages you have viewed and what information is being saved.
If you are working with the LifeGuide authoring tool for many hours, you may find it slows down after awhile, particularly with large interventions. To speed things up, close and open the authoring tool. You can restart your computer to achieve faster results.
If you want to jump to a page when testing your intervention, you can include the following to the URL:
?thiz=X1jumpto=X2
where X1 is the name of any page and X2 is the page you want to jump to.
E.g. http://localhost:38180/player/debug/MyIntervention?thiz=page5&jumpto=page5
In the above example, the intervention is called MyIntervention and you will be directed to page5.
When using this function, the intervention may not work correctly if you skip vital pages in the logic, e.g. if you skip the page where you create an account and/or save important information that is needed later in the intervention.
