Hi there,

Nowadays, there are many wordpress plugin out there to let you do this job.

These are some popular plugin to upload your courses to WordPress site.

1. Grassblade xAPI companion

2. Tin Canny Reporting

3. LearnDash xAPI

Note: Disable xAPI tracking while exporting and uploading the course, because with tracking you need an LRS to make it work.

Hello,

We just created a new Wordpress plugin that enables you to quickly embed Captivate content into Wordpress.  For more information, see the link below:

I had a look, because I want to continue blogging in a WP-site instead of my current Posthaven. I have a lot of embedded CP-published SWF's in my blog.

But I don't see any advantage in buying this plug-in because you are inserting the SWF-output (which I have already in Posthaven) and not the HTML5 output. This means that it will not be possible to watch the output on all devices at all. Or do I miss something?

Lieve (anyone), have you tried html5 content in a iFrame in WordPress? Curious as to what the issues were if you have tried this?

Hi Lilybiri

It looks like the problem is from how i inserted the videos into my captivate project, this is because I have tried ti add the same published project into another site under a different host but the same problem exist. On my computer the published project plays perfect with all the videos . The videos I'm talking about were youtube videos I downloaded to my computer. In inserting the videos I used Shift+Ctrl+F I then browsed to the location of the video on my computer and insert. When the video is inserted under the General in properties it will show Progressive download video. After that I publish my project. Am I doing something wrong?

  1. Publish video from menu File.  http://www.adobe.com/support/captivate/advanced/publish_f4v.html
  2. Use your count in you tube and upload the file .check > http://www.adobe.com/support/captivate/advanced/upload_youtube.html
  3. Copy URL video.

Hi Mavelez,

But if you point to a video, you'll lose all interactivity! Whereas IMO the great power of Captivate is in interactive SWF's. I have a lot of CP-published SWF's on my blog: http://lilybiri.posterous.com but they are all interactive.

Hello and welcome to this forum,

I'm not using WordPress but asked RJ Jacquez to give a tip (by Twitter). And he is using WP, recommends installing this plugin:

SWFObject Plugin

Thank you very much Lilybiri, I have installed SWFObject plugin into my wordpress blog but the problem still exist. The project plays with all the interactivity but all the videos do not play. It shows a blank page. Everything seems fine except the videos. Could it be that I did not embedd the video files properly in captivate?

How did you insert the video: as slide video or as inserted FLV? You have to be sure that the video can be found, they will have to be uploaded as well. Now I understand the answer of Mavelez, if you publish the videos separately and point to them it would be functional as well.
