This is how I entered my quiz question. Note that the colon is a hyperlink to an MP3 file.
The code looks like this:
Write what you hear<a href="https://moodle.mydomain.org/file.php/130/SoundsBk1b/2/d1b-02-02.mp3">:</a>
Seeing the mp3 player like the bottom screenshot suggests that you now have multimedia filters enabled by your site admin -which turn links to mp3 (or wmv or other such) into inline players rather than links whereby students have to download the file and play using their own software on their pc. This is considered preferable to many but if you don't like it you need to ask for multimedia filters to be turned off. Or alternatively you can add the words ?forcedownload=1 to the end of your URL
Actually, Mary, this was a change to how the Media filter works in 1.9.x recently, and it annoys a lot of people. I hope it gets sorted out soon.
Okay thanks Tim. But am I to understand that there is no way to way to get rid of this automatic insertion for now? Can you point me to a thread where this is being discussed further so I can monitor what's happening with this?
How will this work in Moodle 2?
I just tried it in Moodle 2.0 and it seems to work the way it's "suppossed to" work--meaning without the added "MP3 text"
Is there any way to revert to the old system (i.e. with links) without having to downgrade Moodle? (running 1.9.12+ now)
For those still struggling with this issue, I posted a solution awhile ago on the same topic. Please refer to this forum.
