Adobe Captivate

[maybritm]

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.

Hello,

the client says, that there are some things in the course which do not work when the course is saved as html. What can be done then to make it still available on the WordPress site?

With the cptx file I can do nothing. Is it possible to save it under another format so I can watch it but without having Adobe Captivate?

Best Regards

Sorry to be so blunt, but that means probably user bugs in the cptx file. How can you fix those?

Maybe he wants only SWF output (and course will be unaccessible when the Flash player disappears totally)? You cannot do anything with the cptx-file if it is not published and you don't have Captivate. Only published output can be integrated in a web page. I did it on my blog, but only for normal projects (not responsive). Here is an example where I embedded both a SWF output and the HTML5 output of the same file created with Captivate:
