Publish Rise 360 Course, Wordpress Website, Zip file only
Is there an updated explanation for how to get a Rise 360 course to publish/be available on a WordPress site? Can this be done without a bunch of other steps, downloads, etc.
Are there any free do...
Katrina, I have a wordpress site and use the ftp provided by my hosting service (godaddy) and create a new folder where I want the course to do, upload the zip and then there's an option to extract the zip and the course is ready. An example of a course uploaded this way: https://theme-360.com/rise/photographing-sasquatch
Hey PhilFoss I think I have the same set up as you, so I was wondering WHERE you create the New Folder (I am guessing UNDER rise) and then HOW does WP know where/how to unzip it? . I thought you created a new Page or Post through the interface? I'm not terribly scared about FTPing around folders, but again, don't you need to create the __________ (file? folder? place to put story.html?) I prefer to do it manually as well because (1) elearningfreak.com is $100 (1a) isn't found within wordpress.org/plug-ins as a "blessed" plug-in.
AND... aside... how do you get the animation to work at the top? Specifically the title ("Photographing Sasquatch") animation in and out? Is that I Rise thing? I'm more of a Storyline person (and thinking if you can .zip Rise, you can .zip Storylines).
Hi Alison-L when I uploaded that course, it has nothing to do with Wordpress. First you export your course from Rise. Then I went into my hosting Cpanel > Ftp access, thats where I set up new folders, then uploaded the zip there. Here's a look at the web-based ftp I see when I'm logged into the Cpanel- I made all these folders and they have a Rise course inside. My top level folder is a wordpress site theme-360.com but these folders I manually created don't interact with WP at all. And you can see it has options to compress or extract files in the toolbar at top. You can however create a custom WP page template that loads one of these courses in an iframe fullscreen to control user access and manage as WP pages, I have a feeling thats what the plugin you mention helps you do.
And I'm working on my first instructional course that shows that CSS "reveal" animation- and a whole bunch of other theme design techniques using CSS theme components.
Thanks! I'll have to try the FTPing via CPanel as well! If you don't mind, what is the name of the FOLDER you have all your folders (above) in? (Because WP needs to be able to reference them right?). To be clear, you create the folder gf..highhjs...learn and then you can upload and extract the zip in there? and if one was to go into say the "timeline folder" , you 'd see the file structure ala:
Yes?
PS. Congrats on getting into CSS animations I like Mr. Kirupa. He wrote a nice book for O'Reilly on "web animations" as well as has https://www.kirupa.com/html5/learn_animation.htm (thumbs up emoji)
Alison, I love Kirupa! I started using his lessons and source files for Adobe Flash way back in the day. And you're correct, here's a look at my root of my wordpress site, you'll see all the regular WP files and folders, the folder called /rise is the folder I created for all my rise courses, then inside that are sub folders for each course that contain the scorm/html files like in your screenshot, though mine are just the Rise exported files.
