We have a client who doesn't have an LMS and wants to host their course in Sharepoint 365. When we try to host/launch the published Storyline (published for web), we just get a blank screen. I'm seeing other posts from people having similar issues. Has anyone had any luck getting this to work?
I've seen several posts about this same issue and a lot of people have gotten it to work by changing all of the html extensions to .aspx. I've included one post below as well as some detailed instructions I found while looking into this issue. Hope this helps!
Publish your course for the web, making sure to include HTML5 if it is needed.
There is no need to Zip your course once the publish is complete.
Check that your course will open in your default web browser and runs as expected.
Step 2: Create your course folder on SharePoint
Create a folder on SharePoint to contain your published Storyline course.
For Storyline courses to run correctly, you need to be sure that your directory is not nested too far down within subdirectories. A Storyline course is made up of numerous small files, some of which have long filenames.
The use of several subdirectories (…/directory/directory/directory/directory/directory/etc.), coupled with a long Storyline created filename can cause problems when uploading files due to the filename character limits.
Go to your document storage area on SharePoint. Your course content must get loaded into a document library.
Create a folder for your course (preferably with the same course title)
Step 3: Upload your course files
We now need to recreate the folder hierarchy from our Storyline course publish folder, and then upload all files into this structure, making sure not to miss any files.
Open the course folder you created in SharePoint.
Upload the files from the course publish folder.
Click on upload.
Select files
User the Browse window to select all files listed in this folder.
Alternatively, you may be able to drag and drop the files from your windows explorer view into your SharePoint page. This is dependent on your SharePoint version.
Create a new folder entitled story_content.
Open the story_content
Upload the files from your web publish folder. You can only upload 100 files at a time, so will need to load files in batches, keeping track of what has been done, and what is still left to do.
Still within the story_content folder, create a slides folder
Upload all files into the slides folder, completing in batches if needed.
Create any other folders shown in your web publish folder, such as notes, and upload the files into them.
Step 4: Rename your story.html file
Open the story.html file in a simple content editor, such as Notepad or Adobe Dreamweaver.
Save the files as aspx.
Upload story.aspx to your SharePoint course folder.
