In Presenter I publish the articulate presentation to the web. In an html file I have an image that is linked to thie PowerPoint presentation. After I upload the html file to the website via WinFTP, the PowerPoint presentation plays with Articulate showing the edit in Quizmaker or Engage linked instead of the finished version only displaying the Submit button.
Hi Marianne, you have not uploaded the published files, just the pptx file, you need to upload the whole published folder and then link to the player.html file
when you choose publsih on the articulate ribbon you need to zip the whole folder that is produced and then upload and then link to the player.html file that is produced after you publish
Thank you that helps me in the right directions. I have a zipped folder now, but there is no player.html file inside. What is the player html code, so I can create it myself??
Hi Marianne, your player.html file is created automatically when you publish, can I confirm you are publishing using the publish button on the articulate ribbon? The dialogue that appears after publish has an option open folder it is the files in this folder that need uploading and one of those will be the player.html file
Thank you for your patience. I am a beginner at this. I are publishing using the publish button on the articulate ribbon. I republished and did indeed find the player.html file the second time around. I link to it in dreamweaver, upload both my webpage and the articulate folder. But now get a black screen when I click on the link:
The player.html needs to be uploaded in the same folder as all the other files and maintain the articulate directory structure, looks like you have taken the file outside of the folder, so it cannot find the rest of the files
Quick last question, last week I downloaded the free trial so I can play around in Articulate before I decide if I'd like to purchase it.
But each time when I open PowerPoint I get the message:
PowerPoint experienced a serious problem with the "articulate presenter ribbon" add-in. If you have seen this message multiple times you should disable this add-in and check to see if an update is available.
PowerPoint keep shutting down on me as well. If I disable the add-in, will I be able to download the trial again for the remaining 3 weeks I have left?
Because ppt kept shutting down with Articulate, I had no choice to disable it, since I need to finish some projects in ppt. I am using ppt 2007. I have tried to enable Articulate following the steps provided on Articulate.com., but as you mentioned, I have not be able to enable it.
My plan it to upgrade to ppt 2010, but I do want to enable Articulate for the remainder of my trial time since I've barely have had any time to evaluate it.
Any advice on how to enable it at this point? Mariannne
Hi Marianne, sorry spent the day yesterday sanding and decorating, did not pick up my emails.
Here is how to reenable articulate tab http://www.articulate.com/support/presenter09/kb/?p=1060 the key step I missed was to remove the disabled items step 4 before reenabling the add ins step 7 if this does not work you may need to contact customer support but this normally works

sounds like you are saving as html in powerpoint and not publsihing in Studio do you have a link to the hosted course you can share?
the link is: http://mgoossens.myweb.usf.edu/showcase.html Clicking the image for Interactive PowerPoint opens the presentation.
Hi Marianne, you have not uploaded the published files, just the pptx file, you need to upload the whole published folder and then link to the player.html file
Hope this helps

Thanks Phil, Where can I find the html code for the player?

This shouldn't be this complicated, right?
The player.html needs to be uploaded in the same folder as all the other files and maintain the articulate directory structure, looks like you have taken the file outside of the folder, so it cannot find the rest of the files
Got it! Didn't realize there were more folders to upload. Once I uploaded everything it worked fine. Appreciate the help.
Thanks,
Marianne
glad you got it working

It happens sometimes, dont disable it, just keep on using it. Studio does mae ppt a bit more unstable at times but normally behaves very well.
You may want to check your ppt is up to the latest version, dont disable the plugin though as it can be a pain to reenable
