Moodle in English -> Lesson -> Where do images go? -> Re: Where do images go?

Hi,

So far, so good!

The lesson mod won't be the tool you use to create the media directory.

I would do that with an FTP client before I created the lesson. Then I would upload my images to that directory. When creating the lesson, I could then get the images from that location - for example, .

If you want to use Moodle to actually create the directory for you, though, you can do that if you are the Moodle admin. On the front page, go to Site files and use it to make your media folder. That works very well.

Regards,
Art

Moodle in English -> Lesson -> Where do images go? -> Re: Where do images go?

Hi, again,

No problem at all!

Course number one is the front page of your site. That's why the first course you create is course number two.

The moodledata directory is usually found one directory above your public directories. My screen capture was made of the view from my FTP client.

As far as I know, you cannot tell the lesson module where to put your images. What you can do, however, is upload the images in advance to whatever folder you desire and then call the images from there. So, you could, for example, create a "media " directory somewhere and put all your images there in advance and tell the lesson mod to get them from there. (That is what I do with big multimedia files so that they do not become part of the backup files for a course.)

Maybe that helps a little?
