Free, self hosted integration If you want to use a free, self hosted version of H5P, you need to have Drupal, Wordpress or Moodle. These again require PHP. H5P will also be ported to other languages in the near future. (There is no PHP or SQL code in the H5P content types.) Make sure you have configured PHP before installing H5P. To make your site supports H5P, you need to install a plugin.

H5P Plugin for Moodle

When you download the plugin it does not contain any content types itself. Therefore, after installing the H5P plugin on these platforms, you have to install the content types you need.

Below are the instructions how to install new content types through the H5P Hub:

Hi sankalp,

The easiest way is to use a PHP hook, to add your own CSS-file to the content type. Please visit the Visual Changes page for more details.

HI sankalp,

Where did you read that? If you are hosting your contents in WP using the plugin there are no limitations on how long you can use it.

I'm having a lot of difficulty working out how to download the content types so they are available in my moodle cloud site. What am I missing?

Hi E-motion project,If you

Hi E-motion project,

If you are seeing 'use' this means that the libraries of that particular content is already in your system. If you downloaded for example Course Presenation it automatically downloads the libraries for the contents that you can create in it e.g. Multiple Choice, Single Choice, True or False to name a few. Once you have done this you don't need to separately download the stand alone versions.

How should I fix this?

Thanks

Hi ericaand, Would mind

Hi ericaand,

Would mind reposting this in the forums since the forum has more traffic and you'll have a quicker working solution. Also please include additional details such as:

Version of Worpress
Error message/s in the browser console.

I would also suggest that you attach the screenshot because for some reason some images are not showing if you use <img>

Hi BV,

so,

the version of Wordpress is 5.6.2
the message i see is "No content types are available. Your site is having difficulties connecting to H5P.org and listing the available content types."

May I ask you why I cannot download the examples template, too? I mean, I wanted to upload the template manually, but I didn't 'cause I cannot find the "tiny download botton" at the bottom on the left. On GitHub I downloaded the .zip but there's not the .h5p format.

I'm very interested on your Branching Scenario.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Cheryl,

I don't have any experience using Adobe Experience Manager, however if it allows you to insert iFrames you should be able to use the embed feature of H5P. You can read more about embedding in this page.

Hello,I came across this

Hello,

I came across this plugin from Moodle Directory and I would like to install it in our LMS and explore more about this. However, when I tried installing it, I received a series of errors that I not really sure how to fix.
Plugin information: https://moodle.org/plugins/mod_hvp

I following the instructions as mentioned in the link below.

Hi abhiram_h5p,

I suggest that you reporst your question in the forums. It would also help if you can provide more information saying "I received a series of errors", it's like going to a mechanic and telling them that your car is broken without even telling them what the model of the car is. Include information such as Moodle version, error message/s that you received, screenshots would also help.

Hello,I tried adding a forum

I tried adding a forum but it's not letting me login and post one. Let me explain my problem to you.

I am using Moodle 3.8.3, I installed H5P plugin but I am unable to access the content types in there.

When I installed the plugin, it gave me following warning messages.

Site could not be registered with the hub. Please contact your site administrator.
SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
The H5P Hub has been disabled until this problem can be resolved. You may still upload libraries through the "H5P Libraries" page.

Please suggest. Thank you

Integration with itslearning LMS

If i am correct I've seen that there are free plugins to the integration in moodle or in canvas,...

I am currently using the itslearning LMS and some colleagues across Europe and me would be happier to get H5p within our LMS interface.

Do you think it would be posible to get such plug-in ?

Merci beaucoup,

Marc from Paris, France

Link from YouTube Clip

The link of YouTube Clip (for example: https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxvKMFJ8BLTUiMVh0g2xchsOvPArfPcYoQ) has different structure from normal YouTube link (for example: https://youtu.be/tOx4J-wSTco) and does not function in Interactvive Video. Is there possibility to include YouTube Clips to Interactive Video features? Thank you.
