FIle upload box not showing for assignments

FIle upload box not showing for assignments

Greetings,

  Moodle noobie here.  We are getting reports from our students that they are unable to submit assignments.  When I log in as a student, and click on the assignment and select "add Submission", all I get are the "Save changes" and "Cancel" buttons (see screenshot).  The actual object to drag the files onto or to bring up the file picker doesn't show.

  When I log in as the administrator and go to edit the course, the file upload box shows as expected.

  I've tried changing the YUI settings as mentioned in other (older) posts, and I've tried different browsers.  I've verified that they have the correct permissions to submit assignments.

  We're running Moodle 3.1.13 on IIS and MS SQL.

Any help is appreciated, Thanks!

For security reasons, if you are using the 'login as' feature in Moodle, then you cannot upload assignments on behalf of a student. The only way to submit an assignment is to login with the username + password of the student.

HI Davo,

  I created a separate student account for testing purposes, and logged in as that.

Does anyone have any other ideas?  We still haven't been able to come up with a reason for this issue.

Are you sure your assignment settings are correct? 

submission types settings

File submissions must be checked to have the box show up.
