I'm unable to create a link in a wiki to a document. I am unable to insert an image in a wiki page.
First let me start of by saying that I did search for answers to this issue but could find only information on how to link to a document or add in image to a Moodle course but not to a wiki page. If there is information related to this and I missed, my apologies for the duplication.
I am creating pages in a Moodle wiki in HTML mode.
I am able to upload documents and images using the file tab. However, when I go to use those files in the wiki page itself, I get errors or I get nothing.
Here are the steps I am following:
- I create a link to a new non existant page.
- I click on the red link to initiate creation of the page.
- I enter some text and then need to create a link to a Word document stored in files.
- I click on the link tool in the tool bar. I receive a dialog box for enter the URL or a button for browse the repositories.
- I click on browse repositories
- I receive a File picker dialog asking with a choose file button.
- On the right I click on the embedded file link. (This is the only link that shows me the files I've uploaded using the File upload function.)
- I choose a file from the list.
- I get a dialog with Select this file or Cancel as options.
- I click on Select this file.
- The dialog box closes and I'm back in the editor for my page.
- Nothing is there. Just the text I entered earlier. No link. Nothing.
The process for embedding a picture is identical to this.
- I enter some text and then need to embed an image stored in files.
- I click on the picture tool in the tool bar. I receive a dialog box for enter the URL or a button for browse the repositories.
- I click on browse repositories
- I receive a File picker dialog asking with a choose file button.
- On the right I click on the embedded file link. (This is the only link that shows me the files I've uploaded using the File upload function.)
- I choose a file from the list.
- I get a dialog with a thumbnail of the image, a URL, a Browse repositories button, a describe this image field, a Save image button, etc.
- I click on Description not necessary.
- I click on save this image.
- The dialog box closes and I'm back in the editor for my page.
- Nothing is there. Just the text I entered earlier. No link. Nothing.
Can someone help me with this? I have been unable to find answers that apply to the wiki.
Thank you for your help. I'm in the process of creating a lesson for which this is essential and I've burned up 2 days of time working on this to no avail. I will be eternally grateful to anyone who can help.
