Hi

Is it possible to run H5P in offline mode? such as

- publish to CD

- convert to EXE file  etc.

Hi Narit,

This is not possible as you described above. But there is a way to run the contents on computers that are not connected to the internet. Below are the steps:

  1. Install WAMP/MAMP (depends on the OS)
  2. Install one of the 3 supported frameworks.
  3. Install H5P.
  4. Once everything has been installed you can now use these system offline by uploading an H5P that has been downloaded from H5P.org for example.

Note: You need to download/upload the content type to the computer before you can create contents of the same type.

Back in the time, I did a home-made WAMP setup, then placed it on CDs with a hacky script that would copy it to C:\MyServer (if it wasn't already there), modified config/registry values, and then ran Apache and did "start http://localhost".

Nowadays it should be easier to do something like that with a Portable WAMP.  You'd probably just need to set it up once, then copy and run it anywhere else.

Hi there.

If I setup h5p to my pc so I could have offline operation could I made new h5p file? (I think yes).
If "yes" is the answer could this new file created offline be functional online when uploaded to a server?

Thanks for your quick answer
