Attachment Block - Now Available!

Hi there Donna,

Thanks for reaching out here and for also opening a case. I see my colleague Vevette found the problem was due to the .etz file extension, and she logged this issue to our Quality Assurance team for review.

Until we have a fix, you'll want to first zip the file before attaching it to the Rise course. 

Thanks again for letting us know what's going on, and I'm sorry if it's slowing you down!

Hi Alex,

What are you using as a content repository? Is it drive that could be shared with users given certain permissions?

If so, you could use an Embed/URL block to either link to or embed the repository right within a Rise blocks lesson. That way, any files you change or update in the repository will be automatically accessible in the Rise course. 

Is there a possibility to include small Javascript scenarios (simple games for example)?

Thanks, David for sharing here! I see a few folks have mentioned it, so we'll continue to keep an eye on this feature idea. 

Hi all, 

Is this also possible in SL3? I know that I can upload documents in the resources tab from the player. But I am using an 'empty' player and have a resources layer in the module itself where I want learners to click on the PDF icon for instant download (not hyperlink). Any ideas? 

thanks in advance!

This is an awesome addition and we are enjoying being able to incorporate it into our courses. What we are wondering isif there is a way to make the attachment (into a homework assignment) something we grade / track without taxing the client by requiring them to use Articulate Storyline (storyline blocks) or an outside uploading and tracking portal (Litmos / Canvas / Blackboard)? This would put the icing on this cake :D Thanks for all you do.

Hi, this feature is very helpful, however it doesn't appear to support Numbers files ('.numbers' extensions).  When I try uploading them they show up as code in the attachment field.  I can do the zip upload, but the goal was to allow users to open the file on their phone.  Any recommendations on how to add those?

Hey, is there a way to make the attachment mandatory within a block?  Right now, limiting the continue button will allow the learner to bypass the attachment as long as they scroll through the block.  I don't want to make a separate block for it because I don't want it to show up in the menu.  Any suggestions?  

I've already put in a feature request but thought I'd query the community.

Works fine for me in SCORM Cloud, however once the course is loaded in our LMS, we are unable to download the attachment. It's a 122kb word document. I get an error message that says:

File not found

An error occurred during a connection to your server

Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.
Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi there, I would also like to be notified when more file types are allowed. The company I work for has their own file type that needs to be attached to our courses :D
