Hello All,

I have an assignment activity where participants are asked to upload their assignment in doc, docx or rtf file format. However, half of them were successful while others have a document that was uploaded without an extension on it. They were using a Windows OS so it's not a Mac issue where the file extension wasn't added.

Any clues what might be going on? It's not a bug as many, including myself, could upload a docx, a doc and an rtf.

Is this an April fool's joke? 

Thank you in advance for any help you might provide,

Kristina

Hi Mary,

Close, but not quite. I haven't gotten around to reporting the error yet. We essentially put the participants email addresses in their profile text as a work around for now. But I'll get to posting it, thanks.

Glenys,

Firstly, thank you for your reply. It is much appreciated after a few days of asking for help.

I did many searches before posting here: I've been working with Moodle for about 8 years now and I usually find the answers I need in the forums. Not only did I do a google search but also searched the Moodle forums. There doesn't seem to be anyone else experiencing this, other than someone back in 2005 an his post went unanswered.

And as for groups, I took off the groups because I thought that might be the problem (even if I had visible groups), but that wasn't the case.

Thank you for the information about the Tracker. I will go report the situation there now.

Again, thanks for your time,
Kristina

Can some tell me how I can get a hold of the head programmers to report a bug please?

Thanks

Kristina

Jeremy,

Firstly, thank you very much for replying. I'm currently running Moodle 2.0.1 (Build: 20101225) so I'll have to wait for your newer version to test it out. Whether it will work for what I am looking for specifically now, I'm not sure, but we are looking at integrating face-to-face events as well too very soon, so either way, I'm sure this will be useful!

Thank you so much for contributing this.
