You can now allow your hp5 interactive content to be used on other Glow Blogs. See the H5P example blog Sharing page for details.

  1. Hello,
    Trying to see where to log issues with HP5 in the glow blogs and I can’t seem to find where to contact. I have just tried to install the Game Map and I am getting the message:

    Validating h5p package failed.
    The system was unable to install the Multiple Choice component from the package, it requires a newer version of the H5P plugin. This site is currently running version 1.26, whereas the required version is 1.27 or higher. You should consider upgrading and then try again.
    Is it possible to get the plugin updated?
    Many thanks

    1. Hi,
      Thanks for the report.
      The Updating of Glow Blogs and the H5P plugin is underway. I’ll send more details via e-mail.
