cannot upload library

There are two issues here:

1. The user which is running PHP does not have access to the temporary folder of your system. This means that you cannot upload and unpack packages. You must make sure the PHP user has access to the upload_tmp_dir option specified by php.ini, or specify a different directory where the user has write access. Which web hosting service are you using?

2. The last warning is a bug when allow_url_fopen is disabled. You can remove the warning message by applying this fix, ignoring it or enabling the option.
The fix will be part of the next release of the plugin.

thank you for fast response. I’m using host altervista.org. I don’t understand what does it mean user is running PHP. I’m administrator and doing all installation and uploads. How I can get access to upload_tmp_dir option. To say frankly for me not clear what to do. I would appreciate if you can help me. I need this plugin for teaching Math in my school.

I did some googling and it seems like other people are strugeling with altervista.org as well. It looks like they are very restrictive on what they allow and that they even have a separate version of WordPress.

However, what you can try is this:
Open the wp-content/plugins/h5p/public/class-h5p-wordpress.php, go to line 96, it should look like this:
$path = sys_get_temp_dir();
Change it to:
$path = $this->getH5pPath() . '/temp';
Save the file and then try to upload it again.
Let me know how it works.

It might be that you need to change to a host that allows you to customize PHP settings.

I cannot do anything-I got a message after updating the file

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘&’ in /membri/mathtutor/wp-content/plugins/h5p/public/class-h5p-wordpress.php on line 96

the same problem. is there any way to create some h5p files on h5p site and apply shortcodes on mine. or upload manually the library:

Warning: file_get_contents(https://mathtutor.altervista.org/wp-content/plugins/h5p/h5p-php-library/library-support.json) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed!

Libraries

The file you uploaded is not a valid HTML5 Package (We are unable to unzip it)

You can use the embed feature to embed content from another site. If you click the embed button below your content a dialog should appear with the required embed code.
You should be able to insert this into your posts, however, I think you must use the text editing mode, and not the visual one.

The best solution is of course if you get it working on your own WP install. You should have another try with the new version of the plugin, which is just around the corner.

thank you, I have 2 more questions.
Is it possible to create animation in course presentation, is the plugin supports animated gif.
can I add a video with transporant background
is it possible to insert to summary a picture depending on the result grade

Yes, you should be able to use animated and transparent gifs.

I haven’t seen any working transparent videos in HTML5 yet, but I guess it is possible in theory. However, I assume it will require some work and possible not work in all browsers.

Summary image is not possible through the editor, but in theory you can add it through some custom JavaScript and styling.

updated to a new version 1.5.5. Again I got an error

ctTo() [ziparchive.extractto]: Unable to access /membri/mathtutor/wp-content/uploads/h5p/temp/h5p-566adbddb2263/EmbeddedJS-1.0/js in /membri/mathtutor/wp-content/plugins/h5p/h5p-php-library/h5p.classes.php on line 681

Libraries

Missing required library swfobject 1.0

Oh, trick this one! Looks like it’s a slightly different issue now. The plugin is not allowed access to extract the file that has been uploaded.
I’m not very familiar with altervista.org, is there a way you could check if the wp-content/uploads/h5p/temp folder is writable? and if not possible try to give the write permission on all the folders inside wp-content/uploads/h5p ?
You should be able to do it if you’re using FTP. Did you upload the WordPress folder or was it already there?

I gave public write permission to
wp-content/uploads/h5p and /wp-content/plugins/h5p/h5p-php-library recurse to subdirectories, and got the same error.
I very appreciate your help thank you very much. do you have more ideas?

I was trying to add presentation and got messege
Missing title.
A valid content folder is missing
A valid main h5p.json file is missing

I used build-in altervista wordpress. do you think update to 4.4 can help me or I have to contact altervista support?

I was trying to move all libraries manually by extracting them and copy them by ftp to upload/h5p but I don’t were each folder should be located. It’s still not working but solution should be.

I succeed in 4 applications (fill in blank, guess, single choice,hot spot) but the most important for me Course presentation failed.

Ok, so I had a short look at AlterVista. It seems like they have a special build of PHP or that there’s a bug or something, anyway, you should be able to fix the issues you’re having by changing the PHP version. Do the following: Login to the control panel. Go to the Resources tab and find a link labelled Edit PHP Settings, click on it. On this page, you should find a select box where you can choose which PHP version to use. Change it to php5.4 and Save.
Now, go into your WordPress and try to Add new and upload the Course Presentation example content. This should work.

Also, on the Edit PHP Settings page:
Make sure you have the file upload max size set at 20 MB or more.
Further down on the page there’s a section label Server to server connections. Make sure you’ve verified your identity, this makes it a lot easier for you to update the H5P Content Types.
