Help needed with Rise code block and images
Hi Community! I'm loving the code block in Rise, but so far, I have only been successful with inserting the code directly into Rise and thus have to use web-stored images.
I've tried multiple times to use the same code, but with images in a zip file and either it just spins and spins and never loads, or I get an error that I need an index.html file at the root level, which I have.
An example is attached. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

I don't think I'm quite understanding. Have you seen that images can be imported into the code block? I'm not following why placing the images in a zip would make them easier to use in a code block either.
There are two ways to implement a code block...add code or upload a project. I've been successful adding the code directly (and using web-hosted images), but I would like to use images that are not publicly hosted for some projects, so would need to use the upload functionality. I just can't get it to work.
Neat, I hadn't explored that feature. In looking at your zip, I think the hang-up may have been introduced when creating the zip file. Your zip's root contains a folder that contains the index file and the image folder, so your index is not in the root of the zip, it's one level down.
I suspect this may have happened when the zip was created, probably by right-clicking a folder containing the index and creating the zip from the context menu. The zip will need to be created by lassoing the index and image folder directly, and then creating a zip from their context menu.
Though nothing displays for me when I upload that new zip to a new Rise course, it does upload without error or issue. Hopefully that will get you closer?
Thanks Andrew. I found the same. I'll work with it some more, but I was definitely not including the index.html at the root level. You've gotten me one step closer!
Were you able find a solution Lori?
I'm facing the exact same issue :( Anyone?
If you haven't seen it yet; this course is really useful Rise Code Blocks
Make sure when you create your zip file that you are selecting your index.html file and any images, audio, video you want to bundle (that is correctly referenced in the code); then compress them together as a zip file for upload as a project code block.
Hi DShaw , Thanks a million for that. I did just as you described but still not working.
Thanks, I try another computer then. Thanks a million for testing.
DShaw I tried incognito mode and worked. Thanks a million. `
Glad you got it working. I’ll delete your content from my test now.
FernandoMatos-7 Glad you got it to work!
