Auto Save dearly missing

Feature requests

H5P is an excellent way to create interactive content. At times it takes me longer to create a content. If I am creating a presentation and I forget to save, i would have created say 20 slides and then I save, by that time Moodle has logged me out because of no page refreshes. I log in again and all my hours of work is gone! Is there something that I am not setting right? Auto save i feel is an essential feature which is a must have.

Supporter votes Members of the Supporter Network can vote for feature requests. When the supporter network has generated sufficient funding for the top voted feature request it will normally be implemented and released. More about the H5P Supporter Network

Hi vishnulearning,

Thank you for the kind words.

For you request, you are right that we should have a feature/setting that will automatically save an H5P content at given intervals. This can save a lot of hours for any user not just in Moodle but for all users of H5P.

Agreed! Is there any way we can add this feature request to the H5P roadmap? If so, I would support it 100%!

Hi ckong11,

We’re now working on something called the H5P supporter program allowing the H5P community to vote for and fund the top voted H5P features. Also there are developers in the community who every now and then works on a feature they find interesting or useful.

The session timeout can be changed for the Moodle site by a site administrator (Site Admininstration > Server > Session Handling, then the Timeout setting). If the options there are not what you want, I believe that the config.php file can be edited by the server administrator to probably whatever length of time you want. Here is a discussion at Moodle.org: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=262569#p1144543

Alternatively, I will sometimes keep a second tab open to my Moodle site and try to remember to refresh it all along. And it might work to just open up a second tab when you are ready to save your work - load your moodle site and see if you are still logged in or not. Logging in on that second tab at that point will - I think - allow you to save the work in the other tab.
