Hi Gary,

Once you've published your course for web, you can follow the steps here to embed it on your website. 

Hi Ashley,

thanks for getting back.  Seems a little trickier than it should be but I`ll give it a go.

Hi Gary,

I guess it depends on your web server. You could also look at hosting it somewhere such as the options mentioned here and then using that link on your site. 

Hi Ashley,

Thanks for your reply. I do have a Dropbox account so I will try that.
Will I have to publish to web and upload all the associated files or just
the Story.HTML?

Thanks again,

Gary

Upload the entire published folder and point to the story.html file.  If you are publishing to HTML 5, then point to the story_html5.html file.

Correct, you'll need to include all the files included in the published output folder. If you publish for HTML5, you only need to point to the story_html5.html file if you want to force them to access the HTML5 specific output, otherwise the published output will determine what version to show as detailed here. 

Hi again Ashley,

Sorry I`m being a little dumb on this one!  I have uploaded the entire published folder to Dropbox.  I have then attempted to share a link from the story.html5 file - I assume this is what you mean when you say "point to the story_html file?".  When the link is opened it appears to navigate back to my Dropbox desktop (rather than playing). Clearly there is an action I am missing.  Any suggestions?

Hi Gary,

Can you share what the link looks like here when you've grab it from your Dropbox folder? Was it a link to the public folder? 

Hi Ashley,

I think my main issue is that I currently only have a free DB account. I
think you need to subscribe to a paid version to create a Public Folder.

Thanks

Gary

Ah yes Gary - that could definitely be it. The public folder used to be a part of it no matter what - but I believe that changed about a year or so ago.
