    There are two PoodLL Anywheres. One for TinyMCE and one for Atto. Possibly you are using Atto but did not install PoodLL Anywhere for Atto? See here: https://moodle.org/plugins/view/atto_poodll

    Hi Justin! Great plugin, thank you for sharing it! My comment is again about uploading files to comment forms, where plugin normally hides itself. Do you know if there is a possibility to make some hacks on Moodle to get your plugin work in such forms? I think for many teacher it is vitally important to have it there, as they want to make a quick voice answers/comments to their students.

    The option to do this is on the way. The issue is where the Moodle text area does not have an associated file area to store uploads. When PoodLL records and stores files successfully in the "cloud" (probably Amazon S3) then a Moodle file area will not be necessary to store recordings.

    Hi
    I am running this plugin on Moodle 3.3. It works well except for the sound recording where the controls at the bottom don't show. The record etc buttons show and work but not the insert and the other buttons at the bottom. We are using tinymce. Any suggestions?
    thanks

    Hi Kathy, I have heard this before so it sounds like a problem that I will have to look into. But i have not yet seen it.
    If switching to Atto is not an option, you might have to wait till I can get into it. I can not promise that will be this week.

    Thanks Justin, I will wait. Teaching new users an new editor is too much to contemplate!
    Fantastic plugin - thanks.
    cheers

    Hi Justin,

    I'm having a problem similar to Kathy that is preventing people from being able to inset their recorded audio when using TinyMCE - the insert button is either non-existent or unclickable. It works fine when we use Atto, but we'd definitely prefer TinyMCE. I'll stay tuned.
    Thanks,
    Craig

    Hi Justin,
    The plugin looks great so far.
    When watching your video on the plugin I couldn't help but notice the Whiteboard (The main reason for me trying this) is different.
    Which default whiteboard were you using for that, I would like the line tool which was available in your video.
    I am guessing it is most likely the 'Literally Canvas(js)' however when I try to use that it does not appear, nothing appears. I am running Moodle 2.7 so it should work?

    Hi Justin,
    We're also seeing the same problem Craig and Kathy reported with audio recordings on the TinyMCE, on Moodle 3.04. The insert and other bottom buttons appear for a flash at the top of the recording window for a half-second, then disappear. We've been using these plugins for a couple of years and If I backup/restore a course from an older version of Moodle with a recording from TinyMCE, for example in a label, it's there and plays with no problem. Just can't create any new ones. I hope that helps.

    Will this plugin work in Moodle 3.1? I have tried installing everything and followed the recommended configuration, but the icons for recording does not seem to appear. I installed both in Tiny MCE and Atto text editors.

    It works in 3.1 on Atto and TinyMCE (but there are phantom issues with disappearing "insert" buttons on TinyMCE).
    Where are you trying to record, and did you look at the settings for the TinyMCE and Atto toolbars. You need to add PoodLL to those for the editor to know where to display the icons.

    Justin, can you clarify what information is communicated from Poodle to another server? And is this communication encrypted?

    Jim, this document might help. https://docs.google.com/document/d/19aWMZzxZgR1ZY4OYOuPRQ07KoaZnvS2WB4nD3yMNT3Y/edit?usp=sharing. Note also that in Poodll3 it is possible to configure AWS regions so that your Moodle data never leaves Europe (for example)
