how to publish a storyline 2 module in sharepoint

Hi there Evie! I think you'll find this forum thread about publishing to Sharepoint to be helpful. Be sure to pop back in and let us know if it worked for you!

Hi Evie,

It really is a simple process to publish your project to sharepoint. 

1. Publish your project for the web.
2. Copy your files to the folder in sharepoint where you want the project to reside.
3. Right-click on the story.html file, and select copy URL. Paste the URL that you just copied into another document. This is the URL that you can publish to access the course.

Hi Dave,

Many thanks for your reply. 

Step 2. Do you mean that I have to copy the entire storyline output folder to the folder in sharepoint? Or the zipfile? 

Hi Evie,

Sharepoint doesn't know how access zip files, so you will need to copy the entire contents of the output folder. 

Hi, but how can you upload all the folder to sharepoint? In the output folder, there are many sub folders, and some sub folder has more than 70 files. You can't drag the whole foler to drop in sharepoint destination, sharepoint always asks to upload ONE file. so how to upload the whole output folder? please.

Hi Nech,

I'm not incredibly familar with Sharepoint, and I'm not sure if Dave is subscribed here any longer, but in this other discussion he invited people to contact him directly. 

Hi Nech,

If you have permissions, you can open the share point folder in an explorer window. Then you can copy the entire project folder at once. Your SharePoint administrator should be able to help you set that up.

Hi there. I'm also trying to publish via SharePoint and have copied the output folder but when you access the url for the story.html file IE asks if I want to save it rather than opening it. Any ideas (using the story.swf suggested in other thread is not an option)

From what I've seen, that means you are linking directly to the file instead of the url. Be sure your url starts with http.

Hi there. Does anyone know if there is a fix for the issue with Storyline 2 and Sharepoint for the external_files folder problem?  Sharepoint still renames the "external_files" folder to "external_files_" which creates the problem for pdf files in the Resources link. The pdf files are displaying as "not found" after it has been published and uploaded to Sharepoint. 

Hi Vivan! I don't have specific experience using Sharepoint, but hopefully other Sharepoint users in the community can chime in and assist!

I think that is only an issue when you use SharePoint's file upload. You should be able to copy your files directly to SharePoint through explorer. This way, SharePoint shouldn't rename the folder. Of course, the all depends on how your IT department setup the rules for SharePoint.

Hi All, when I copy the files to my SharePoint site I am getting an error stating my file names are too long.

Hi Kennie, 

We always recommend keeping file names and paths well below the character count mentioned here, especially because additional information is added during publishing to the folder name. 

I'd check into that, and then see if Sharepoint support has any other ideas for things to modify! 

This was helpful. 

For those trying to do this in SharePoint I opened the Library ribbon and then chose Open with Explorer. Then I copied all the explorer files from my storyline output folder and pasted in the SharePoint explorer folder. 

Thanks so much for sharing Julie :) I know the SharePoint use is a common question.
