Grid Format - Change image problem

Grid Format - Change image problem

Hi


As detailed in a former post, the grid format is behaving strangely.

My site is installed in a sub directory www.mysite.com/moodle

Every time, since the last upgrade, that I try to change the image on the grids course the link send me to www.mysite.com and a 404 error.

I am using the latest Moodle :

Moodle 2.9.2 (Build: 20150914)

and

Grid format version : 20150622 release : 2.9.1.505

Everything worked great until the last update of Grid format, which is a shame as I really like the look of the format and don't want to abandon it.

I won't put a screenshot as the problem is clearly defined.

Thank you for any pointers.


All the best


Chris

Hi Gareth,


Thank you for your message.

Today I deleted Grid format from my system and the file by Ftp, then uploaded the new version - it seemed to work.

That is, it let me pick an image, instead of forking to my other site, but then I have the following warning :

Grid Format Image Exception:...

Can not create file "52/course/section/96/goi__Lesson_Plan Title.png"
  • line 1356 of /course/format/grid/lib.php: call to debugging()
  • line 110 of /course/format/grid/editimage.php: call to format_grid->create_section_image()

I thought at first it might be a Safari bug, but it does the same in Firefox

I hope this can shed more light on this problem.


Kind regards


Chris

Hi Chris,

I think this is a file permissions issue.  Please read the details about that in the installation instructions of the readme file.

Cheers,

Hi Gareth, Chris,

I think this is the same problem I have with a couple of my sites regarding permissions getting changed during an update (which you highlighted in Point 6 here.)  Deleting and reinstalling worked for me the first time, but that's a bit of a pain!

I think it must be an issue with the hosting (or server settings external to Moodle) because the update always works on some sites, but always triggers the error with two hosts.

I haven't delved too deeply into this, because I just go into the file manager and change the permissions which only takes a minute.  There may well be a more permanent solution, but I don't know what it is.

Hope this helps,


Andy
