We're running Moodle 1.9 and have just noticed that the "Submit" button seems to be missing on Assignments. Because uploaded files are available to the instructor when s/he views submissions I assume the missing Submit button is purposeful, but just in case I thought I would post it here (I tested both single file upload and advanced uploading).
Here's a screenshot:
Note that in this shot I was able to upload a file just fine, but no where can I "Submit".
Looking at the HTML for this page I see no INPUT element for a "Submit" button like I would expect:
<div style="text-align: center;"><form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="http://open.uvu.edu/mod/assignment/upload.php"><fieldset class="invisiblefieldset"><p>Upload a file (Max size: 2MB)</p> <input name="id" value="1520" type="hidden"><input name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="2097152" type="hidden"> <input size="50" name="newfile" alt="newfile" type="file"><br> <input name="save" value="Upload this file" type="submit"></fieldset></form></div> </div> <!-- end div containerContent -->
Is this not a bug, but in fact a "feature" as suggested by http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-14882?
If so, I suggest that at least with "Advanced Uploading of Files" this is a usability issue, for students may be expected to upload multiple files, but may want to wait to "Submit" those at a later date.
