AfterPublish all is fine, After ZIP presentation fails

Apr 07, 2015

Using Studio 13 we publish a course and it works fine on the local machine but after ZIP it fails both on local and after FTP's  Any ideas??? 

Additionally, opening the ZIP file in explorer give a fail but extracting the ZIP provided success.  Could the LMS unzip program be failing>  We just upgraded to Moodle 2.8.  Anyone else having this issue? 

 Using PPT 2007, Windows 7 and IE 10

Hi Jay,

I see that you're also working with Victor in your support case who shared that he was able to upload your published content to SCORM Cloud an industry standard for testing SCORM output. Also I see he sent along the following steps:

Please note that when you zip the published content, you need to zip it from the "root directory". You may want to use the built in feature in Articulate Presenter in order to do so. Please refer to these instructions: 

1. Publish your Presentation to LMS. 
2. On the Published Successfull window, click on Zip and navigate to the directory where you want to keep the zipped file. Here's a screenshot.
If you wish to view the zip version of the published output you would need to completely unzip the contents of the zip file to your local drive and then launch via the appropriate HTML file "presentation.html". If the issue occur only when you "re-zip" the file, you may not be zipping it from the root directory just as Articulate Presenter does. 

In addition, If you view published Articulate Presenter content on your local hard drive or send it to someone else to view on their local hard drive, you'll encounter security restrictions from the computer, web browser, Flash Player, and network that'll cause various features to fail. To test your content and share it with others, you'll need to upload it to the environment for which it was published. Here's how.

Please feel free to continue working with Victor or let us know here if you're still having difficulty.
