1: Public Folder access

When opening sequences from within the authoring interface, there are the following folders: My Workspace; User Folder (private); My Groups and the Public folder.

The Public Folder is meant to be a shared folder for authors system wide I think. However, I have authors who cannot see some shared template sequences within the folder.Are there any settings, or permissions that need to be assigned to authors in order for them to see items in the public folder?

Thanks
Glen

Very interesting. We have LAMS integrated with Moodle and we have the same problem.
I have made members of my team administrators in LAMS (using their moodle_ logins) and they have access to a file structure that I set up. However, users who are not admins in LAMS cannot.
Any ideas?
Many thanks

Hi Charlie,

Your moodle_ users should be able to see the Public folder if they go to Author and then do the usual File -> Open/Save.

However, when you are creating lessons from Moodle, the Public folder is not shown.

Is this the issue you are having?

Thanks,

Ernie

Hi Glen,

I think I've seen this before as the guys from Singapore Polytechnic have reported this (see LDEV-2573).

Are the sequences that people aren't seeing within sub-folders in the Public Folder?

Thanks,

Ernie

Hi again,
Mine are the same, if I save in the root folder, anyone can see the sequence.
Many thanks

Kia ora,
Moving sequences to "root" worked for me too.
Nga mihi Ernie

Thanks Robin, Charlie,

Moving it to the Public Root folder is the temporary solution. We'll fix this in LAMS 2.3.5. You can follow up the LDEV-2573 task for when this is fixed.

Cheers,

Ernie
