H5P Guides

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use H5P.org to host my H5P content?

H5P.org is for testing purposes only. You should not use it to host "real" content. Self host or use H5P.com instead.

H5P without a CMS?

You can display H5P content on any website as embeds from H5P.com or a publishing platform with H5P support.

If you would like to create your own plugin for your website, you could try porting the h5p-php-editor library into the language of your choice.

Can I customise H5P?

If you have a little bit of experience with HTML and CSS or the desire to learn how to write code, the answer is 'Yes!'. H5P is open source and everything you install on your site is yours to customise and modify. Take some time to read the documentation on this page. Feel free to ask the developer forum for help. You can find almost all the code related to H5P here.

How can I customise the H5P Editor to match the style of my site?

If you aren't able to customise the code yourself, the answer is probably 'no'. Most of the customisation related to H5P Content Types is visible in the settings in each of their editors. If you can't find what you're looking for there, I recommend reading this page and searching the forums or finding a web developer to do it for you.

With some knowledge of HTML and CSS, you can customise the look of your H5P Editor and H5P content types to the theme and colour scheme of any website. For example, you can change the style of the editor by following this tutorial.

Can I make my content private?

It is not possible to make content private on H5P.org. If you want full control of your content types, have a go at using H5P in one of the supported plugins.

How do I store results and user statistics?

Documentation on storing results can be found here.

How can I add more questions?

You can use Quiz (Question Set), Course Presentation or Column to add more questions. You can also add different content types or activities

Can one add an H5P resource as an element inside of another one?

Hi ImABoltFan,I'm not exactly

Hi ImABoltFan,

I'm not exactly sure if I understood your question entirely but let me try to answer it. There are several conent types that lets you create/organize contents in them a few examples are Question Set, Interactive Video, Column and Course Presentation. Don't hesitate to post here if you have additional questions.

Content within content

Hi BV52,

Thanks for the reply. I was wondering if, for example, I can create perhaps an Interactive Video and add a hotspot resource I also have previously created later combined, as it were.

Hi ImABoltFan,Currently this

Currently this is not possible. I think though that this is a feature that can help a lot in the community. I suggest that you head over to the Feature Request page and post your suggestion there.

Hi SeminarioCli,

Please enable developer debugging. Then try again and post/send us the complete debugging stack, and the response from the request (found in your networks tab, if you're using chrome).

Please post your exact php version and phpinfo() settings, so we can try to reproduce this.

Hello Sir,

I hope this time u understand my issues. When i open my h5p a/c, each time I need to arrange my all e-contents acending/decending to find/search my desired one. Is it possible, when i open my h5p a/c they appear in a order either acending/decending as i set previously.

Best

Arrangement

Hi Varun,

If you are talking about the contents that you created, based from my experience when you close the window and go back to the pag they revert back to the order they where created. The most recently created will be at the top. What you can do is that you can bookmark the order that you want it to be (E.g. acsending by title)

RE: regarding arrangement of e-contents

Varun,

I am also very new to this process so am not the one to be able to help.

What limit is there on the number of videos (and size) that you can have in your h5p.org free account? Thanks so much. I am very impressed with h5p.

Wed, 10/18/2017 - 08:00

Hi jajp1968,There is actual

Hi jajp1968,

There is actual "limit" to the number of videos you can upload as long as one video is not over 16MB (this is also true for any files uploaded in the site).

Wed, 10/18/2017 - 23:49

Thanks

Thank you very much. Just one more question - Is there a time limit for the videos to stay up on h5p.org? Thanks again. Jorge

Thu, 10/19/2017 - 06:48

Hi jajp1968,There is no time

There is no time limit it will stay in the server until you delete it yourself :-)

Hi edefrias,

Yes you can. I just tested this today :-) . Here are the steps on how I was able to use H5Ps in Blogger.

Create the content in H5P.org
When creating a page in Blogger choose HTML.
Click on the embed option of the content and copy the embed code.
Paste the code in Blogger and save.
Here's the sample page that I created.

Hi Andrew,

I am not sure I follow. Can you please post a seprate thread for this so that you can attach a screenshot.

In tests to learn the

In tests to learn the language there is a kind of activity - reading. In the left part of the screen - the text for reading (2-3 pages). The right side is the question. You need a screen object for displaying text with the ability to rewind horizontally and vertically.
Thankful for your attention ...

Wed, 12/13/2017 - 07:41

Hi Andrew,If understood you

If understood you correctly what you need is a container in Course Presentation that will let you scroll to be able to place long texts. If so what you can do is insert a "table" content -> remove the template in the text box -> place your text. I have created a sample here, feel free to download it and use it as template.

How do you view content other H5P users have created? Can you clone and modify things other users have created?

Hi amarie102,

You can simply use the URL of the content or you can search it through Google using the title. If the author of the content has enabled the download button you will be able to download it. Although I suggest that we ask permission from the owner/author prior to doing so.

video offline

Is it possible to download the interactive video I made in order to use it offline?

Mon, 01/29/2018 - 08:08

Hi Gabriela,Yes but only to

Hi Gabriela,

Yes but only to some degree. Video players are not programmed to handle interactive content imbeded in an H5P. Thus if you want to use an interactive video or any content for that matter you have to install one of the 3 supported frameworks (Moodle, Drupal or Wordpress) and install H5P in them. Prior to doing this you also have to install a local server environment (e.g. wamp, mamp).

Hi panospro,

Thank you for the kind words.

I'm afraid this is not possible. Quiz type contents sends the xAPI statements once the quiz is done. You can read more about this here:

Offline usage

Hi,

I have installed H5P moodle plugin in our intranet moodle site, which is on a server completely isolated from internet. Is it possible to develop h5p contents by teachers in this setup and students to access them in intranet? I am frequently getting error which shows connecting to some H5P API failed.

Hi,To be able to use the H5P

Hi,
To be able to use the H5P editor without communicating with the H5P API you need to disable the "Content Type Hub". You can read more about it and how to disable it at: https://h5p.org/hub-docs/getting-started.

Will it be possible to upload more than 16mb?

Fri, 04/13/2018 - 14:06

Hi Patrickdn,I'm afraid you

Hi Patrickdn,

I'm afraid you cannot upload more that 16 MB of any file in H5P.org. Although if you are using one of the 3 supported frameworks you can in theory upload any file size.
