using images as answers in 1.8

Hi - we successfully uploaded and used images as answers in 1.7 in a choice activity. We did this by pasting the following text/code into the answer boxes:

<img title="title" height="x" alt="screenreader tag" hspace="0" src="full url" width="y" border="0" />

in version 1.8 it doesnt seem to work and we get an error messeage :

 “you need to provide at least 2 possible answers”

Has anyone else manage to use image as anwers in Moodle 1.8 and if so  - how?

Hi Alison,

I completely missed this post sorry! - Dan has prepared a patch, and we will fix it in the latest version of 1.8 stable and higher.

Thanks to Dan for getting onto it!

Hi Andy,

you can do this as mentioned in the post above. - there was a bug briefly in 1.8 which prevented this, but it should work in the latest version of 1.8

the image must exist somewhere on the web (in your site or elsewhere)

here is an example:
<img title="title" alt="screenreader tag" src=""  border="0" />

good luck!
