Tempshare

Dear Ashley,
Results are the same for 1) IE, 2) Firefox, 3) Safari, in addition to
Chrome, used yesterday: Always stops at "Publishing 99%."
I am using Windows 8.
I have installed the update 5 yesterday (after the report of this issue
yesterday).
Rgds,
Vincent Lau

Hi Vincent,

Thanks for the additional information. I haven't run into any issues uploading to tempshare recently, but haven't tried a file of that size either. I'm curious if you could share your example here and we're happy to give it at try.

Also, did you look at trying any of the other options mentioned? Since Tempshare is just designed as a temporary testing platform, you may want to look more closely at how it'll upload to your final destination. 

Vincent, could you share your resolution to the issue?  I am encountering the same issue with Tempshare.  It continuously stops at 99%

Hi Amy,

What browser are you using to upload the output to Tempshare? How large is the published output folder? I haven't been having any difficulty running it in Chrome recentlly (version 44 of Chrome) but I'm happy to test your file if you're able to share the .story file here. 

Chrome is what i've been trying it in.  I was searching within the community to see if that could be the issue when i found this thread

Thanks Amy - your file got stuck for me too. Curious if you could share the .story file as well so that I could test publishing it myself to see if there is anything happening on your publish end. 

Hi Amy,
The situation you described was exactly what I was crying out for help some
months ago.
Tempshare did not work here, then I thought it was something to do with the
Great Firewall here in Shanghai. Then when I was in Singapore later on, the
problem still persisted using the same laptop.
I use Storyline 2.0 Windows 8.1, and did the tests on IE, Chrome, Firefox
and Safari.
Since you asked, I tried that again now. Result is the same.
I truly give up.

Regards,
Vincent Lau

It sounds as though it is an unresolved issue with
tempshare.articulate.com

I've decided to go the "old school" route and share the link from my
public dropbox folder.

Thanks for responding Vincent!

Hi Amy and Vincent, 

I haven't run into any recent issues with Tempshare - but that particular file caused issues for me. It's not an officially supported product, just a site one of our engineers made during a hackathon - that folks have been able to use for testing purposes only. 

Yes, I read that about it. Perhaps it is the file size or something we
have set in the story file that is making it behave that way. Thanks!

I believe the file size limit in 300 mb for published output - so I wouldn't think it was that alone. It may just be that specific file? If we continue to see reports of it, we'll take a look into the site and see if it's something we should remove or an easy enough fix to allow folks to keep testing there. 

Hi Everyone,

Was this ever resolved? I'm having the same problem with my project. It's only 32 mb, so the file size is unlikely to be the problem. 

I'm now trying to figure out an alternative for testing the LMS version of my project.

Not really, no.

Hi, Cherie -- Sorry to hear you are running into an issue as well, and you are welcome to share your file if you would like us to test it on our end for you.

In the meantime, as you mentioned a need to test the LMS version of your project, have you considered using the SCORM Cloud (as it is the industry standard for LMS testing)? You should be able to use the limited trial version at no cost to you. Hope that helps!

We recently had issues with the Tempshare site as well. We received direction to remove the html 5 option when we are publishing. Since we have started doing that, we have not had any trouble uploading the to Tempshare site. Hope this helps.

Excellent tip, Angela, and hopefully that info will help others who come across this discussion seeking assistance. :)

Thanks for popping in to share Angela :) Of course we only recommend that to users having the issue. Most of the time it works just fine - but we did have some users having issues for a bit.

This has happened to me with my last two larger projects- they get stuck at 99%, even though they are less than 200mb, and the limit is 300. Articulate Support never resolved my issue, only gave me a temporary fix by uploading it to his web server. I can't use something like Dropbox (company policy- security measures). I've been having trouble with file corruption, even though I strictly follow the guidelines to avoid corruption. I thought maybe that was the issue for the 99%. Is that possible? Seeing as this seems to happen to a number of people, is it being looked into??

We recently had the same issue when we were trying to upload the modules for our company and found the resolution was to publish them without using the HTML 5 option.

Hey Vanessa - Looks like Angela has chimed in with the information that I would have provided to you. You are welcome to try that. 

Angela - Please note that replying to the forums via e-mail attaches your signature. You are welcome to pop in and edit if needed.

Thanks for letting me know Leslie!

If I uncheck the HTML box, it only publishes in Flash, right? What if I need HTML5?

No problem Angela - it's no worries on our part, but good to be sure the users are aware.

Hey Vanessa - that is correct. If you wish to share the .story file, I could try to upload for you. Tempshare is simply a way to test content and is not a hosting solution, so you could certainly upload to the intended environment to fully test. 

My course is hanging at 99% as well I assume because of its size of 160 MB.  Can anyone assist with that?
