We want to create a post in moodle that will have a link, and this link will open up a articulate module (player.html). I tried to create a folder using FTP but somehow the module won't play. Any help would be much appreciated.
Try taking a look at this post here. Its important to create a scorm activity or scorm format course first to get the zip output working and then you can hyperlink to the course.
If you do not need to track scores then you can post a link to the story.html file or use an iframe to embed it in a page. Downside is you won't have any reporting or score tracking.
That's exactly what I'm trying to do. How would you do that. I'm uploading the files to FTP but since it inside moodle directory, it won't play. Any thoughts?
You may need to create a repository in the moodledata folder through FTP so that it is accessible. If it is in your moodle folder then it may not be accessible. Once you have a repository in the moodledata folder to upload it to then you will be able to create a hyperlink from anywhere in Moodle. The link above for creating a repository should explain it in more detail for you. Hope this helps.
Thanks Joe! I tried to create a folder in the repository but didn't seem to work for me. I might be doing it wrong. I'll try to see if I can upload the web version of articulate into box.com and have the player.html file open it in Moodle through file picker (if it's possible).
You also need to enable it in Moodle for it to work after creating the repository file. You can enable your new repository in Settings > Site administration > Plugins > Repositories > Manage repositories.
Did you ever get this working inside Moodle? I'm in the same boat now as I'm creating review pages where I'm linking to several things including the untracked Storyline videos. When not using SCROM but just a repository it won't play. You can't set "main file as" like you can within an individual activity so I'm guessing it's not seeing the proper folder structure.

Thanks Louise for the help! I was hoping there would be another way. I'll check out the link.

Sorry my error - I just presumed you'd want to track the scores as that's the only reason I use Moodle - Ooops!
