We are wanting to be able to add a script that will pull the Username entered at the login prompt or either on login submit, the script will verify that user the has completed providing some emergency contact information in one of our other on campus systems at High Point University. If the User has up to date emergency contact information then the script would pass the user on through to authenticate their login credentials. If the data has not met the update parameters then the script will popup a Modal providing them a notice and link to update their information in the appropriate system. Once the information has been updated, then the the user will be allow to login to Blackboard on next login attempt. Is this possible with a custom login page in Blackboard Learn?

No one else has this question

You can create a Module B2 and trigger him if the logged user did not match the criterias you want him to. This b2 will overlay the entire blackboard, so the user wont be able to do nothing on blackboard until they match all the criterias. It's a way to do it.

Hi Mark,

Sure!

Check this post from Andrew Hulme:

Community Transparent Module Overlay This building block can show you a way of doing it. I used a similar approach to our institution need.

Could this method be applied against a single course, or even a collection of "like" courses?

What do you mean about applying to a single course?

You want the system check, after the log-in of the user, if that user is enrolled on a specific course(s) and if he is, apply the overlay? If this is the question the answer is yes, it's possible to make that kind of verification before applying the overlay to the user.

You will need to check the CourseMembership from the user and check if he's enrolled on your desired course, after that just apply or not the overlay depending on the result.

You can apply the same overlay inside a course:

1. User log in on blackboard

2. Access a course

3. Overlay appears if user didn't checked the "I agree" button (one example).

For this case, you need to set your b2 as a course tool, so you can use it inside your courses.

Hope it helps!

Out of curiosity, how would a script on the Learn login page check the administrative system for up-to-date emergency contact information status?

You can certainly implement a process that would initially hide the login form, collect the username and then display the form if the username met some criteria or a link if it does not. But how do you intend to check that status criteria?

A co-worker of OP here, we were wanting to make a web call via JS, and based on the result of the call, alter the options available to the person. Basically if the web call returned true, show the form, otherwise show a link.
