H5P Guides

Importing and exporting

Here you'll learn how to import, export and copy/paste H5P content.

Download H5P file (Export)
Upload H5P file (Import)
Reuse existing H5P questions (Copy/Paste)
Tips

Download H5P file

Demo of H5P download feature

You can save your .h5p file to your local machine with two simple steps:

Click “Reuse” button
Click “Download”

The file is now saved on your local machine.

Notes:

You can’t open H5P file on your machine, it has to be uploaded to a site supporting H5P
When creating content, under "Display options", the "Download" button needs to be enabled.

Upload H5P file

Demo of H5P upload feature

H5P file can be uploaded to any site supporting H5P. To upload .h5p file from your local machine follow the steps:

Open the Hub
Click “Upload” tab
Find the file and upload it
Click “Save”

Reuse existing H5P questions

Demo of copy/paste H5P feature

H5P allows you to copy parts of its content and reuse it in new content. For example, you could reuse just some questions from one course in another course by copy/pasting just them. Below are the steps how to do so:

Click “Reuse” button
Click “Copy” button
Open the content type where you want to paste a question
Click "Paste" button

Note: Copy/paste feature works only within an H5P site, not between different H5P sites. To reuse content between sites, use download/upload option.

Tips:

You can copy/paste content within the same file (for example from one slide to another)
In WYSIWYG editors ( Like Course presentation and Interactive video ) you can copy/paste using keys CTRL+C/CTRL+V
In generic editors, copy/paste buttons are located next to a content type selector:

The content type "receiving H5P" has to support H5P content type you copied. If not, there will be a message saying "unsupported content type" when you try to paste it.
The "H5P clipboard" is not the ordinary clipboard on your machine. It lies within the web browser, and can only be used in the H5P context.

Importing json description of content

Hi, is it possible to import content in json format? We would like to migrate from some proprietary cms to H5P, but we would like to import our own content. We could export it in some json format, but where can I import to moodle into H5P activity??

Thu, 05/18/2017 - 10:37

Importing from proprietary system

Hi SubjectX,

What you describe has been done by compainies using H5P in the past.

What you want to do, is to create a set of .h5p files that can be imported into Moodle, using the edit form.

An .h5p file is just a zip file containing some json configuration files, as well as the JavaScript, css needed to display the content.

Lets say you have some old content that you want to display in Multiple Chocie.

Download an existing Multiple Choice .h5p file. Look at the /content/content.json file inside the .h5p file, and use that json format to structure your old content as. You can also look at the semantics.json file for a content type, to understand the format of content.json.

Now, write a script that copies the .h5p file, and replaces the existing content.json file, with a new one that you created from your old content. (This replacing would probably include some packing and unpacking of the .h5p file, using a zip-library for your scripting language).

You can now open the h5p-editor in Moodle (or WordPress or Drupal) to import your created .h5p files.

Good luck!

Error when uploading .h5p into moodle

Hi all,

I'm getting this error when uploading a .h5p file into Moodle (3.0):

"Missing required library H5P.MultiChoice 1.9

Missing required library H5P.Summary 1.7
Missing required library H5P.InteractiveVideo 1.16
Missing required library H5P.Video 1.3
Missing required library H5P.DragNBar 1.4
Note that the libraries may exist in the file you uploaded, but you're not allowed to upload new libraries. Contact the site administrator about this."

Has anyone experienced similar errors?

Many thanks,

Demian

The .h5p you are uploading

The .h5p you are uploading requires you to install new content type but you do not have the correct permission. I believe you need the 'mod/hvp:updatelibraries' permission.

Tue, 06/20/2017 - 04:43

Thank you!

I will investigate with the IT department to check on this. Many thanks icc.

Hi Bodhisatwa Bhattacharyya

Hi Bodhisatwa Bhattacharyya,

When you download the content into your computer it is saved as a .H5P file. The only way to use it is if you have one of the the supported plugins (Moodle, Wordpress or Drupal) and H5P installed in it.

See which questions are answered correctly

Hi I would like to do this;
- See which answers are answered false and which correct per student, or the average of all students.

- Also, is it possible to have the same video for each class, but see the results of each class apart from the other?

- Also, is it possible to let others create with the H5P app, or is this purely something the admin can do with the plugin? On the site it's possible ofcourse, but I would like to use it within the school website.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Daniel,To answer your 1st

Hi Daniel,

To answer your 1st and second question. this is definitely possible. In fact, many universities and schools are already collecting results from their students' interaction with H5P.

H5P emits data in the form of xAPI statements and you will need a plugin or custom code to listen to these statements and a data store such as a learning record store to save them in.

I highly recommend looking through this documentation first:

https://h5p.org/documentation/x-api

https://h5p.org/documentation/for-authors/analyzing-results-and-answers

For the 3rd question yes this is possible as well you just need to make some changes on the access of the users in without giving them administrator rights.

I hope these helps if you have further questions feel free to post in the forums.

Same shortcodes

Hi

When I make an h5p file and export, it gives me a name like interactive-1.h5p or sss-3.h5p for example and it gives the shortcode like [h5p id="1"] or [h5p id="3"] (I did not use the last interactive with shortcode of [h5p id="2"] and removed it) to insert it in my post but imagine for any reason I have lost my database and just have my posts and the exported files like interactive-1.h5p or sss-3.h5p that their shortcodes in my posts are [h5p id="1"] and [h5p id="3"] from the past when I want to upload the files again at the fresh instalation of the h5p plugin it gives me shordtcodes like [h5p id="1"] and [h5p id="2"] that are different from my old shortcodes and if I have hundred of h5p files I have to go to
hundred of the posts and change the old shortcodes to the new ones.

What is the soloution? When you have hundred of quizez it would be a nightmare.
If the shortcode be like the name of the file maybe it would be better. If the name of the file is interactive-5000.h5p the shortcode becomes [h5p id="5000"] too.

Thanks

Hi,I tried this just now and

Hi,

I tried this just now and I was able to embed the sample from H5P.org. It also initially gave me an error message and all I did was remove the script tags.

Instead of <iframe src="https://h5p.org/h5p/embed/110460" width="1090" height="830" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><script src="https://h5p.org/sites/all/modules/h5p/library/js/h5p-resizer.js" charset="UTF-8"></script>

I used <iframe src="https://h5p.org/h5p/embed/110460" width="1090" height="830" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>

Also please note that there seems to be some issues with embedding to their site since I had to reinsert the embed code 3 times before It showed the correct size of the frame. The first 2 tries, the frame had a height of about 100 px which cuts off the activity. So retrying might do the trick if you are still encountering the issue even after re-embedding check your browser console (ctrl+shift+J for Chrome) for any errors.

Hi Nancy,

You can try adding &t=.mp4 at the end of the URL. You can also try viewing the page source of your video and looking for a URL that ends with MP4 or webm. Please note that this doesn't work everytime and depends on how the website handles the videos uploaded in it.

SCORM in H5P

Is it possible to get just completion of a SCORM object in H5P without an LRS? I have Drupal, H5P, and the SCORM xAPI installed but I get only user and start time not end time in results.

Hi Lauren!I am not familiar

Hi Lauren!

I am not familiar with the SCORM/xAPI plugin, unfortunately. Since the xAPI "result" statements of H5P contain the time taken by the user, it should at least be possible in theory to compute the end time. Have you already tried to contact the author?

Best,

embedding with fixed size

I try to embed presentation with a fixed size. If I take the code like this (<iframe src="https://h5p.org/h5p/embed/204726" width="600" height="300" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><script src="https://h5p.org/sites/all/modules/h5p/library/js/h5p-resizer.js" charset="UTF-8"></script>) embedded on my joomla-blog the presentation is dynamic as big as the template allows. :-( I know from vimeo and youtube video that you can fix the size. In my editor I SEE the small H5p presentation preview-area but on my real blog it shows the bigger one dynamic view.

thanks Thomas

Where are you creating your contents (Wordpress, Drupal, Moodle or H5P.org)?

Please make sure that the download/embed option is enabled. Also if you are looking at a content that someone else created you can contact them to enable it.

Hi Sabrina,

I don't think this is possible, edpuzzle from what I have gathered also let's you create interactions similar to Interactive Video. It is not possible to bring over these interactions and use them in H5Ps.

Exports

Hi.
I run a wordpress site with some 72 H5P Course Presentations.
I have disabled the "Download button" in the settings for all the H5P-content.
H5P still generates a .h5p-file for each Course Presentation when it is used.
These .h5p files are then stored in the folder /wp-content/uploads/h5p/exports
I use the plugin "Duplicator" to make backups of the site, but these backup-files (zip-files) are now very big – approx 1 Gb and the exports-folder is responsible for half of this (approx. 515 Mb).

Why are these files created? (when the download-option is disabled)
Do I need them? (when I dont want the user to be able to download the courses)
Is there a way to tell H5P not to make these .h5p-files?

Regards,
Kasper

Issue with Importing Content from Moodle to Wordpress

Hello, I'm trying to import a content from Moodle to Wordpress, It gives me the following error

Validating h5p package failed.

Invalid semantics.json file has been included in the library H5P.Blanks-1.11

Although the file has never been tampered. Why would this be an issue? I can send you the H5P file too if you would want to take a look. I'm using Wordpress 5.3 with HP5 at 1.15.0 version.

You are here
