Uploading pictures with no access to the server

Uploading pictures with no access to the server

Dear all,

My name is Antonio and I am totally new to Moodle and development in general. I have a Moodle 3.9 instance running on AWS. I have a Moodle account (Administrator) but no access at all to the AWS file system.

I am using Boost theme and I am trying to customise the login page via SCSS. I found the right script and it works if I use the same image I have for the site background. My problem is that I want to use a different picture for the login page. How do I upload the picture I want to use?

I apologise in advance for the silly question but I am losing my mind on it... Thanks for your help.

Antonio

You probably need a custom theme but it sounds like you are saying you can't install new plugins?

Thanks Howard,

no I cannot install any new theme but I can upload pictures using the file picker (scripts or even images when possibles). I wonder if there is any plugin that allows the file management with no access to the server. It looks like those customising the Moodle site have always access to the server, if that's the case I'll ask the necessary permissions to my IT dept.

Thanks again,

Antonio

How are you going to install a plugin if you don't have access to the server?

Thanks Howard,

Well, the idea was to ask the IT dept. but I realize more and more that the access to the server is essential.

Thanks again
