Set up H5P for Drupal 7
Download and install Drupal
Skip this step if you already have a running Drupal 7 installation.
- Download Drupal 7 from drupal.org.
- Follow the usual installation instructions
Install the H5P module
1. Find the latest H5P module from the H5P project page on drupal.org.
2. Install the H5P module as you usually install a Drupal module. If you are new to Drupal modules, you can take a look at Drupal's installing modules guide.
3. Navigate to your site's module administration pages (/admin/modules/). Scroll to the section named "Other" and enable the "H5P" and "H5P Editor" modules.
Install content types
Now your module is set up, and you can start creating H5P Content. After you click on "Add new" The H5P Hub will load - offering you a variety of content types to pick from.
Below you can see how to get new content types from the H5P Hub.
Here you can find Tutorials how to create content using different content types.
Roles and permissions
Depending on the framework used, access to H5P features may be controlled by defining the permissions for roles or users.
In Drupal, H5P has the following permissions available. They should be assigned users/roles as shown.
content writer | site editor | site administrator | |
create h5p | Yes | Yes | Yes |
edit own h5p | Yes | Yes | Yes |
delete own h5p | Yes | Yes | Yes |
edit any h5p | No | Yes | Yes |
delete any h5p | No | Yes | Yes |
update h5p libraries | No | Maybe* | Yes |
access all H5P results | No | Yes | Yes |
Access own H5P results | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Access h5p results for own content | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Create restricted H5P content types | Maybe** | Maybe** | Yes |
* The "update h5p libraries" permissions enables the user to upload H5Ps with updated library versions. Whether or not editors should have this access is up to site policy.
Updating old content to new versions can change their appearance and functionality significantly, preserving old content through library upgrades is always one of the main focuses of a library developer. Be aware of possible versioning and content upgrades issues when letting users upload altered H5P libraries.
** The "Create restricted H5P content types" permissions enables the user to create content types that users without this permission aren't allowed to create. Admins can configure what content types are restricted at admin/content/h5p. Who should have this access is up to the site policy.
Enable H5P shortcodes
The H5P module for Drupal includes an input filter allowing authors to insert shortcodes like this:
where 123 is the node id. To use these shortcodes this filter must be enabled:
- Go to admin/config/content/formats
- Click on configure for the textformat you want to enable H5P shortcodes for
- Enable the "H5P Content" filter, and make sure it is last in the list of enabled filters
- Click "Save configuration"
By doing this the H5P shortcodes should be possible to use for all authors who have access to this text format. Do note that the H5P filter disables caching for text formats using it. With page caching or similar turned on this shouldn't be noticeable.
Enable result reports
By enabling Drupal's Views module a view will appear as a tab on each H5P node and on each user profile displaying basic result data.
Compatibility problems with httprl module
Users have reported problems enabling the H5P HUB on sites using the httprl module. More info here.

Quesetionnaire type in Drupal 8
It looks like the Questionnaire type is not available in Drupal 8. Is this correct? Also, the accessibility page says that the Questionnaire type is not accessible. Is this still true?

Hi Yang,
Questionnaire is an LRS dependent content and since Drupal does not have a built in LRS the content is disabled by default. There is a way to enable this by going to Configuration -> H5P -> Enable LRS dependent content types.
