Importing and exporting

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

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.

Hi cyberrspiritt,Please make

Hi cyberrspiritt,

Please make sure that both Moodle and Wordpress are using the newest version of H5P. If this is the case I suggest that you repost your question in the forums. THe forums provides you the option to upload H5P files and there is a highr chance for your question to be answered compared to having them in the documentation pages.

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.

Sharing the course presentation

Hi, I have created a course presentation here in H5P.org and would like to share it with my colleagues via email. Is it possible to provide them with a link? If so, how?

Tue, 04/28/2020 - 19:34

Hi Samarjit,You can provide

Hi Samarjit,

You can provide the URL of the content. Although please note that the test drive feature on H5P.org is intended for users who are trying out H5P for the first time. We are experimenting with limiting the number of content types available to make the test drive experience less overwhelming for new users. To access all H5P content types and use H5P for real see the getting started page.

where can I find a site supporting H5P???

When I download a video, I can't open the file. What programme I have to download to see the video?

Fri, 10/09/2020 - 20:48

Hi,The H5P content when

Hi,

The H5P content when downloaded is not just a video anymore it consists of multiple files that only the H5P plugin can open. If you want to open the file you need to upload it in a platform with the H5P plugin.

exporting H5P files as html or similar

Hi, just to check I understand correctly: if I create quizzes / presentations etc. with H5P, they can only be viewed on a website / platform that supports H5P (either h5p.com, or my own website if I add the H5p plugin). That means that the files I create cannot be uploaded and sold via something like Digistore24, right? Is there no way to achieve that? Thanks!

Hi Simson,In a nutshell yes.

Hi Simson,

In a nutshell yes. They cannot use the file, the contents when created are not readily readable by the browser. You can suggest Lumi it was created by someone from the community and works well with H5P contents (I've tested it personally). However it has not been tested by the H5P core team so use it at your own descretion.

I created a drag-and-drop question. Now I wnat to reuse this content in an interactive video. However, I cannot figure out how I can reuse the drag-and-drop in the interacvtive video. Is it possible or should I build the question from scratch in the interactive video?

Kind regards,

Hi Arman,Copy/Pasting Drag

Hi Arman,

Copy/Pasting Drag/Drop into Interactive Video should work. This documentation should help.

Uploading .h5p file in moodle failed

I have h5p content at h5p.org which I downloaded to upload in my moodle page but failed with error code:

On the graphical display it does not provide what the error was. I figured out the error message with the debug at the network section.

{
  "error":"Error reading from database",
  "errorcode":"dmlreadexception",
  "stacktrace":null,
  "debuginfo":null,
  "reproductionlink":null
}

I am able to upload and use other files I created at h5p.org at this same moodle site. Again, I am able to re-upload this file at h5p.org. Does anyone have idea how to solve this.

No reuse button in wordpress H5P section

Hi all - I'm trying to migrate some course content from wordpress hosting to h5p.com hosting. I'm struggling as there is no reuse button within the wordpress H5P editing sections and cannot copy from wordpress editor to h5p.com editor. I can clearly see the button when creating/editing on h5p.com. There is quite a bit of content done so trying to avoid having to recreate it all. Any help is appreciated

Mon, 01/31/2022 - 17:54

Hi origamiarmy,If you edit

Hi origamiarmy,

If you edit the content there should be an option "Allow users to download content" which is usually on the right side. If this is not available go to Setting -> H5P and check the options below:

Toolbar Below Content is checked
Allow download is not set to never.

Office document

Hi, I am new to h5p.

I wanted to know if office documents can be exported from h5p so that translators who hasn't installed h5p can localise master English training content to other languages. Could anyone help me out? I hope to export Word or Powerpoint format files. Thanks!

Wed, 03/09/2022 - 17:44

Hi Shiori,I'm afraid you

Hi Shiori,

I'm afraid you cannot export H5P as a different file from .h5p.

Downloads not permitted on branching scenarios?

Hi, I have created a number of quizzes on a trial account, and have been able to download the multiple choice sets but when I click 'Reuse' on the branching scenario set no download option is given. I really need to be able to download this one since it took hours and hours to make. Can anyone help?

Tue, 07/19/2022 - 18:45

Hi amramzy,Whe you say "trial

Hi amramzy,

Whe you say "trial account" I assume you are talking about H5P.com. If this is correct you just need to edit your content and under "Display Options" place a check on "Allow users to download the content".

Tip: When posting I suggest that you post it in the forums. Not only does the forum have more traffic it also provide more flexibility i.e. having the ability to attach files.
