| MaSL filestorageerror.tiff | Subject: File Storage: wrong names appear in 'Home" |  |
| Dear all, My first course, students are handing in their first assignment. If I click on the File Storage icon ATutor takes me to the correct overview and my course files are displayed. In the Home menu ATtutor displays three different files, their links do not work, I do not know how to delete them. Please advise, Martin Things to describe: Operating system ATutor is installed on - Mac Snow Leopard ATutor version - v1.6.4 Patch #s applied -none ATutor theme name - PHP version - MySQL version - Webserver & version - Copies of error messages - Changes to default settings - Web browser being used - ...and anything else relevant - Posted: 2010-03-05 12:02:21 | ||

| I'm unable to reproduce the broken links on the home page. If you can provide more information about the system ATutor is running on, that might provide more clues. When you delete a file from file storage, the corresponding link on the home page gets removed. Or, just remove the home page file list by clicking the X in the top right of the box.

| The link of one of the files is: elo/file_storage/index.php?download=1&files[]=20 But it does not work I will try to be more complete: Operating system ATutor is installed on -Linux ATutor version -1.6.4. Patch #s applied -none ATutor theme name -ATutor (the default) PHP version -5.2.8. MySQL version -5.0.89-community-log Webserver & version -Apache 2.2.11 Copies of error messages - Changes to default settings - Web browser being used - ...and anything else relevant - Posted: 2010-03-05 16:20:46 | ||

| The problem may be the brackets in the file names. Try renaming the files by removing the "[]" characters. Posted: 2010-03-05 16:31:00 | ||

| Thanks for your quick reply Greg! I cannot find these files in my system. I am afraid they resulted in some trial and error work setting up my first course. Martin Posted: 2010-03-05 16:49:10 | ||

| Files are in content/file_storage, but they are renamed as numbers. The original filenames etc, are stored in the "files" table of the database. But you should not be editing these directly unless you know what you're doing. Manage files from within File Storage. Are you having similar problems working with files in the File Manager (i.e. Manage>File Manager)? Perhaps backup your course (i.e. Manage>Backups), then create a new course restoring the backup into it. Posted: 2010-03-05 17:43:51 | ||

| Okay, do not want to go there... Tried the File Manager, that seems to work fine. Tried the Create Course and restored: no files in the File Storage at all. I have now reverted to showing small icons, that will not display the names of these hidden files. I must have done something wrong trying out the software. Better next course. Great tool and support, thanks, Martin Posted: 2010-03-05 18:07:26 | ||
