File support?

[mattporritt]

Hi Ulm Team,
Has there been any thought for being able to add file support to this plugin? So uploaded static pages could have files?

One way I though of doing was, having an upload area for "static assets", so things like images, pdf docs, etc. That would then would be handled by Moodles file API. These files would then be referenced by relative path and file name in the upload html file.

For example if I had an image tag, like: When the page is rendered this would be replaced (maybe by a filter) to https://mysitet/pluginfile.php/123/local_staticpage/content/background.jpg

Sorry if this has been asked before.

Cheers,
Matt P

Hi @mattporritt,

this is not in the scope of this plugin, atm - see: https://github.com/moodleuulm/moodle-local_staticpage#adding-images-to-static-pages

Cheers

Hi @mattporritt ,

thanks for asking for this feature.

While @christianwolters is right pointing to the plugin's README file, I think your proposed implementation could be valueable to some admins.

If you want to come up with a pull request for such a static assets area including a proper explanation how to use it in the README file (to avoid too much support questions being asked), that would be great.

Cheers,
Alex
