Moodle 1.7 Importppt in New Lesson

Moodle 1.7 Importppt in New Lesson

I have successfully installed Moodle 1.7 and I really like it.

But in the earlier version of Moodle 1.6.2+ when I created a new lesson and wanted to import a power point presentation that option was available.

I do not see this available in the new version unless it is some where else .

If anyone else has tried this in the new 1.7 could you advise where this is.

The importppt.php is still in the same directory tree structure under moodle/mod/lesson/

Thanks

Hi David,

The Import PowerPoint function is still there in Moodel 1.7. However, the behavior seems to have changed. When you create a new lesson, after you have filled in the Lesson settings, you are taken to the Lesson contents edit screen and ... immediately asked to create your first question. Just click the Cancel button at the bottom of the screen and you are back to the Edit Lesson screen where you can see the Import PowerPoint link (attached screen shot).

PS.- Mark, could you please restore "normal" behavior for newly created Lesson? Behavior described using latest 1.7 version updated today, Sep. 27th.

Hello,

Yup, this is a bug.  It's in the tracker as MDL-6730 and I'm planning to fix it in 1.7.  Thanks for the posts.

Cheers,
Mark
