Captivate Widgets

[Guest]

I have been using Captivate for our LMS, and since Flash is becoming obsolete, I have been trying to upload as an HTML5 version. When I do that, the widgets seem to not want to work- they just don't show up at all, and you only see an empty slide.

Is Adobe planning to make the Widgets compatible with HTML5 in the near future at all?

You need to use the Learning Interactions, they are supposed to be compatible with HTML5. You'll find some of the widgets in that list. Have a look at this article;

Tips - Learning Interactions - Captivate blog

If you are talking about external widgets, there are only a few HTML widgets around, almost no developers anymore.

I am using the Learning Interactions- I have used "Accordion", "Tabs", "Process Circle", and "Circle Matrix", none of which will show up after publishing and uploading in our LMS. I tried publishing with both SWF and HTML5, but we had some issues with several users. After discovering that Flash is not well-supported, I decided to try just uploading as an HTML file, but the Learning Interactions (as mentioned above) don't show up.

That is strange, I have been using them for HTML output. Which version are you using, please the full number (Help, About Captivate)?

[Guest]

It is version 9.0.2.437

After publishing, can you upload the folder to a webserver? Only that way every functionality will be available.

We use a hosted service, and don't have direct access to a webserver. So going that route, we will never have full functionality if publishing as HTML?

[Lilybiri]

A webserver like WAMP, MAMP can be installed on your system, I don't have a separate system, server neither.

This is meant to check if you have all functionality as expected. Once uploaded to a LMS or a hosted service it is meant for the users and should be as perfect as possible.

I am also having the same problem, I publish lessons in HTML however when using the learning interactions and previewing the slide in HTML the slide just comes up blank? any ideas why?

Have you applied the suggestions on this thread about viewing the HTML5 content in a web server environment?

[katies12434660]

Yes I have, it is still showing up blank, which is strange because when I was playing with the widgets before and I published it out they were working...

[RodWard]

Is this Captivate 9?  If so, does the web server have JSON files enabled?

Hi Again, seemed to have fixed the issue on the HMTL preview not showing up.

I updated captivate and everything is working now
