.ASPX Files Now Download Instead of Launching from SharePoint
Hello all,
My organization has recently discovered an issue with .aspx files hosted on SharePoint. We've been using them to launch Storyline and Rise files so they act like web pages (like this). ...
One solution that works for us is to use a web server to store the published files. No need to rename .html to .aspx.
Because we've used SharePoint for so many years to provide access to our courses, we still use SharePoint, and just updated all of the links from the old SharePoint location to the new web server URL.
This is seamless to the end user, and it's actually a very quick process to move files and update the links.
This works for us with for all of our eLearning content, regardless of the vendor (Articulate, Adobe, iSpring, etc.).
So if you're still struggling with your content on SharePoint, see if your organization can provide you space on a web server for your content. It's easy, and there's no shenanigans.
I'll just toss this out there, too. SharePoint and Captivate have not been friends for a long time, and Adobe doesn't try to fix SharePoint issues, and I wouldn't expect Articulate to fix SharePoint issues, either. The truth is, the content we publish, whether it's from Storyline or Captivate, is meant to run on a web server, and SharePoint is no longer a web server.
