![]() Helen and other more technical MediaWiki aware people will also chime in here. In any case, the upload user would need no permissions except to upload files to one isolated directory no copy/rename/move/delete/anything else, so it should not constitute a big security risk, especially if the uploads had a file size limit. Of course, if Moodle 2.0 File API already allows uploading files in batch via AJAX magic or Java (I do not know), this would solve the problem (provided that those images could then be accessed publicly). So, a place to upload files in batch would be useful. Or alternatively, it could just be allowed that wiki pages can contain images from (certain?) external URLs - but then, the problem persists, since it would not be smart to put the images on anybody's personal server. I understand mediawiki has this functionality of including files uploaded this way on wiki pages, though I am not sure how exactly it works. Just brainstorming here, but is there any chance of getting a ssh/ ftp-able directory on the docs server to upload screenshots to mediawiki with minimum hassle possible? Or the flickr extension could be installed, but then the images would be on a server uncontrollable by moodle, too. Maybe I'll try this tip, but it is still lots of work. Trying to streamline the process: taking a screenshot, cropping it, uploading to mediawiki in several steps, perhaps making a correction and uploading again, and adding the image to the final mediawiki page seems stupid if the process is repeated dozens of times. As a part of the Moodle UI Consistency Guidelines project, I am thinking that each guideline (in Moodle Docs) will need at least one or two screenshots to demonstrate each interaction style/element presented. ![]()
