LMS Output Folder - files
Apr 08, 2014

Good Afternoon,
We recently upgraded to Studio '13. In '09, in the output folder after publishing, you could move all the 'extra' files to a folder to clean it up, so it was clear to the learner to choose 'player.html'. In '13 if you move those files to a folder, the articulate will not play. Is there any way around this? I would be nice for our learners to be able to open the folder, and easily see 'presentation.html' with a handful of folders, instead of a list of files they need to sort through to find their training.
Thank you,
Heidi

The file structure cannot be changed, the files at root level are required for the course to play
If published to Web, would that work to move the files? Our learners are having a tough time finding the appropriate file.
Nope, didn't work. Thank you for your reply, we will have to work through it.
How are you distributing these? On the web/intranet you should be sending a link and these files are not designed to be run locally unless you use the CD publish
You could create a new folder, call it anything you would like and move your published course into the new folder. Copy the presentation.html file and paste it as a shortcut at the root folder (right click - paste shortcut). Rename the shortcut to make it more obvious (start here, click to start, etc.) and have your students use the shortcut to start your course.
A couple of ways to solve this one. First, create a folder full of your published files then...
1) create another index.html file outside of this structure that redirects to the player.html file. Adding this to a script tag should get it: window.location.replace("yourFolder/player.html");
- OR -
2) create a launcher by selecting this in the player options. Move this launcher outside of your folder structure and change the target to open the window.
