Published web object or hyperlink not working on Intranet

May 09, 2014

 Trying to utilize a hyperlink or web object (example below) in a module and receive the message below when accessing the module after being published to our Intranet.   The web object works fine when I access the module locally from our servers.  Any ideas or suggestons would be greatly appreciated.    Thanks.

Hi Tony,

Please make sure you're accessing the project from the URL and not opening the html file from the intranet folder/file path. Your web browser will still see this as being viewed locally and restrictions may conflict with the playback of the project.

Thanks!


Can you explain this statement a little better? If I have a user download my training and have them double-click the launcher.html or presentation.html file, I am having the same issue, but only on Windows browsers. On my Mac, web objects play fine. What is the difference between double-clicking an html file and going to a URL for the file (and what would that URL look like for a local file anyway?).

Hi Steven,

Christine has changed positions here at Articulate, so may not be in the forums as often.

I believe she was referring to opening the presentation.html file from within the published output folder on your local drive instead of placing all the published files within a web server and pointing to the URL, something like http://articulatetest.com/MyCoursepresentation.html

Here is a bit more information about viewing web objects, and how they may not display when testing locally.
