Hello,

I have a client for whom I shall bring a Captivate e-learning course on his WordPress site but he just sent me a 90mb large .cptx file. What do i need to do now? Is it even possible to bring the course with this file on the site?

Best Regards

    Hi maybritim,

    Yes and no.

    No - Sounds like your client sent you that Captivate source files, and you can do nothing with those, unless you have Captivate and can use the file to publish for a website.

    Yes- If your client sends you the proper files you can add them to the wordpress site, in a separate folder,  and link the html.index page on any page in the site itself using an I-Frame. It will load and play fine.

    Cheers,
    Steve

    i extracted the .cptx file and there is no index or html files in it. I know how to make an I-Frame. I am a developer. Its easy for me.

    So he would need to send me the proper files then right? Because I do not have Captivate and there are no html files after I extracted the file (I renamed it to zip and then extracted it normally).

    The cptx file is the 'raw' file. It has to be published to the output file, probably a HTML5 folder. You need the application Captivate to do so. Or you have to ask the client to do the publishing.
