I am using 2.2.4 and am copying some questions in a course that was originally set up in 1.9. I am pointing to some MP3 files that are in the legacy file folder and I notice that I have the option to "Link External," but I don't exactly know what that means. So, to test it, I did one question with the option on and one without. The links look like this:
Using the Link External option:
href="http://ourmoodledomain/file.php/1829/content_files/Audio_tracks/c3-1.mp3"
WITHOUT the Link External option:
href="http://ourmoodledomain/draftfile.php/9192/user/draft/254455272/c3-1.mp3"
I'm not sure which is better one to use. I've seen this "draftfile.php" before, but I cannot find an explanation of what it really means. I have to do this for many questions, so I don't want to find out later I made the wrong choice and have to re-do it all!
Thanks, in advance.
