A search for similar requests https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/projects/cunyac/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&scope=subprojects&issues=1&q=h5p shows a number of results, which I've linked as related tickets. https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/22029 is probably a good place to start, and you can read backward. Short version is no, we don't have H5P support, because of concerns about security and stability.

Sorry to make us go over old ground here, but want to clarify one point

As Colin mentioned in #22029, a person can go to H5P.com and build content there (with paid subscription).

I am clear on the fact that we will not install the H5P plugin and its attendant libraries which would allow a user to build h5p content within the Commons.

But, if a commons user really want to use H5P, they could go build content on H5P.com. Could we then develop a custom iframe embed code to pull the content into the Commons? I think yes? Because the security issues are mitigated because the H5P content would be hosted on the external site not our site? Is this correct?

Thanks!

Yes, an H5P.com iframe would skirt these issues. I don't know off the top of my head how easy it would be to build an iframe handler for h5p.com, but presumably it wouldn't be too hard. I would need examples of a few pieces of public h5p.com so I could test.

  • Target version set to 2.8.0

We have lots of open tickets related to H5P. I would like to find a way to support it, as I am getting tired of saying "no" every six months. The iframe idea is a good one, and I wonder if the team would like to devote some resources toward exploring this for Fall 2026. The first thing would be to confirm that the h5p.com service is a good one - it's free or cheap to use, and it offers some sort of native embedding. We'd then need to discuss whether the barrier for entry there is low enough that we'll have meaningful buy-in on the Commons, enough for us to sink time into building something. If we decide to proceed, I'll need examples of a few pieces of publicly available h5p.com content in order to build an iframe embedder.
