Our Documentation Specialist is trying to add some of our Articulate courses to our company's web help site, which is based 0n MapCap Flare. We've tried publishing to a variety of formats from Articulate Presenter, but she cannot get any of the output to work properly. Do you have any experience with MapCap an/or any tricks you could pass along? Thank you!
Hi Carolyn and Welcome to E-Learning Heroes! You didn't mention any particular error, so it's hard to diagnose what the issue could be. As a starting point, I'm sharing the document for Publishing to Web for Presenter. I also have an information page from MadCap. If this doesn't help you, please give us some further details as to what kind of problem you're actually having and what steps you have taken.
Upload the published content to a web server and obtain the URL for the course
Use iFrames to embed the Rise 360 course in your website. This website will use the URL (web link) to your course
<iframe src="url" title="description"></iframe
If you are unfamiliar with using HTML elements, contact the administrator of your website. They'll know how to embed iFrames in your organization's website.
Hi, I'm just hopping in on this thread to see if there's anyone else with similar goals. I use MadCap Flare for documentation as well, and I'd also love to be able to embed interactions I've created in Articulate. My company uploads the content from Articulate onto Thinkific - we're not really large enough for a true LMS so linking to courses doesn't make as much sense when I really just want to be able to embed a single slide, but I don't have those hosted anywhere else on the web to reference in an iframe.
Hi Angelina - my company sounds like yours - no LMS, but we use Thinkific currently to host our Storyline courses. We are currently evaluating MadCap Flare for our knowledgebase, and it would be super-cool if the Storyline courses could live there, too.
I have created storyline resource and published to web. I take these files and put them in Madcap Flare (Resources folder).
When I build my project, I immediately notice that the build does not bring all the files across into the project output ... this of course does not work for the storyline course.
I recopy all the files back into the output and viola it all works as expected.
What I am trying to research is WHY does the build process exclude a lot of the storyline published files? A mystery waiting to be solved.
Thank you all for "listening". Hope a soution other than my work around appears and is shared around.
The setting needed to be ... Target>Advanced>Content to Include>All Content
This meant I needed to then go through single sourceing as this content is for two intended uses and I have a number of targets and needed it to be excluded from some project builds.

However. I found my answer. Thank y'all.

Hi Colin. Which Scorm type are you exporting your project from Storyline to? How are you tracking the user actions on the course in Madcap? Thanks.
I am just a simple user at this point so I am publishing my storyline to HTML. There is no recording of progress as I am using storyline as a simulation for the clients. It is the simplest way I can get there quickly with my "new" skills and timeframes.
Iterative is my approach - next version is when I get time to do more research.
Sorry I am not able to help. I would have used our LMS and published to SCORM but at this point it is a closed system and I need to get my "simulations" to external users from the organisation. (limited by the tools and my exposure to the tools at hand)

I have a similar question... is it possible to embed a course authored in Articulate Rise within MadCap Flare? thx!
Hi Kristen,
I'm not very familiar with MadCap Flare, but if you just need to embed a Rise 360 course in your website, then here's how I would do this:

Hello Everyone.
I am doing this very thing with these very tools.
I have created storyline resource and published to web. I take these files and put them in Madcap Flare (Resources folder).

Why did Madcap not copy all my Articulate Storyline files to the built project?
The answer was in my build settings for that target. I found this in the madcap forums
Articulate Files in Flare - MadCap Software Forums
The setting needed to be ... Target>Advanced>Content to Include>All Content
This meant I needed to then go through single sourceing as this content is for two intended uses and I have a number of targets and needed it to be excluded from some project builds.
However. I found my answer. Thank y'all.
