Storyline 360 to SharePoint
I recently made the switch to Storyline 360. I previously had Storyline 2 and was able to publish for the web, create the .aspx file, and upload to SharePoint through Explorer.
In Storyline 360 I ...
Hi Lisa - I have experienced that issue and you are right in thinking it is a security setting on SharePoint. The IT department has the ability to turn on the ability for SharePoint to allow HTML files to be displayed in a browser or not.
I haven't seen this happen with ASPX files, since ASPX is the native server-side page extension in SharePoint.
What I think is happening is you've copied story.html and renamed it to launch.aspx. However, inside story.html (launch.aspx) is code that detects your browser type and determines whether to open story_flash.html or story_html5.html. So, SharePoint when you open launch.aspx it is forcing a save of one of those HTML files.
I am leaning toward using HTML5 format for just about everything now, so instead of copying story.html and renaming it launch.aspx, I copy story_html5.html and rename it to launch.aspx. This way the browser 'sniffer' code never runs and it just launches the course.
Can you try this and let us know?
Here are the steps I followed - let me know if I am doing something wrong. I'm still getting the "save file" prompt.
From SL360, I published to Web, HTML5/Flash Fallback
In Storyline Output files, I made a copy of story_html5.html and renamed it to launch.aspx (I renamed the copy - and did not delete the original)
Copied all files to SharePoint using Explorer view
Used the Copy Link option to copy link from launch.aspx file
Pasted link in Word doc and launched it
SharePoint prompted to save the file.
I also created a hero part with a link to the launch.aspx file, but received the same prompt to save the file.
Thanks for any additional help!
Lisa
