Content creation

Hi,

I've just installed the H5P plugin on my Moodle site. I can go into a course, add an activity and select H5P as the activity type. When select the option in the Moodle activity to 'create' the editor option is empty.

I've downloaded H5P content types from this page:

https://h5p.org/update-all-content-types

and have tried to install them in Moodle under (Site administration->plugins->activity modules->H5P->H5P libraries

I'm not sure if that is the right spot or there is a problem with my Moodle. When browsing and adding the official-h5p-release-20161020.h5p file and selecting to upload I get a long column of these displaying (but in red):

[[]]
[[]]

Any thoughts to what might be happening.

Have you been able to resolve the problem ?

Make sure that Moodle has write permissions to your moodle data folder, then try again. You should also make sure that your server has a sufficient limit on how big file sizes you can upload. Can you also check your browser console (open with ctrl + alt + j in chrome) and your server log to get some additional information about what is actually failing ?

Thanks for this info, it sounds like this could be the area that is causing my issue. I have the file upload set at 100MB so no problem there but will need some IT systems help within my business to check the write access. I have the same issue when trying to upload content that i have created in an external moodle site I use outside of work (Moodlecloud). In that hosted version of moodle It works perfectly. I'll let you know how i go.
