Calling all moodle users - can you answer a question

Hi there, What version of moodle are you running? I'm asking you because I think you should create an activity in moodle and copy your file into the activity no. Folder, if you're running moodle 1.9.x

HI

I am using Moodle 2.2, and it seems impossible to do that - i cant even work out where files are kept., thanks for the input anyway.

Yes, Moodle 2 encrypts content.... I'll ask my moodle experts how to have a web page with all its tree of subpages and objects correctly placed and displayed in moodle.

If you can package it as a zipped folder then follow these instructions and it should work. Either from Moodle documentation here http://docs.moodle.org/23/en/File_module_settings section 3 or from this blog post http://ourlearning.co.uk/2010/12/displaying-websites-index-html-files-in-moodle-2-0/

Thanks i will try this out and let you know how it works out.

disapointingly i have discovered in a manual i purchased that its not possible to have files shared among courses- it makes a fresh copy so if you have a file/resourse shared amongst many courses you have to make any changeds to each one. so i may be back to using external links for common resources.

Oh yes you can share files between courses !! The manual is out of date - you can have one original and have it updated througout now. See the latest documentation http://docs.moodle.org/23/en/Working_with_files section 4

Mary;

I think that is a new development in Moodle 2.3.  Kim is working with 2.2.  I am still on 1.97 but wouldnt move to 2.2 for this reason.  Just transferring over to 2.3 this month because they have updated things like this.
