"could not get data" with ppt created by OpenOffice Impress 3.1

Hi!

Newbie looking for some help here.

Trying to transfer our ppt training materials to our Moodle installation.

It works with Chris's sample zip file but when I tried exporting the sample ppt file to webpage using OO Impress, it does not work.

Is it even possible to import ppt created by OO Impress? It would be a shame if it can't because all our stuff are done with OO.

Thanks in advance for some advice!

Hi,
No OO. Tell all you know to vote for MDL-17413. Maybe we can get at least a way to import either text or images, like we can with a GIFT file, into a series of branch pages for Moodle 2.0.

If you are really brave there is always my nasty hack for importing images MDL-10513 (And I use OO impress to turn PPTs into images). Not recommended on a production server, but if you have a localhost, then you will not have to worry about breaking anything. Build the basic lesson/course on the hacked localhost, back it up and restore it to the production site.

Import_PowerPoint#See_also has more help or sorts. In 2006, I tried a hack for OO (was that OO 1.x?) for Moodle 1.6. But I have not revisited that in OO 3.x or Moodle 1.9.x.

Vote early and vote often tongueout

Sorry, it is a shame. Chris
