[Bug 1794724] Re: Can't upload images previously taken on Mobile device

 

Hi Alec,

Thanks for reporting this. Unfortunately I wasn't able to replicate the issue. I tried with Android 7 - Chrome 69 and Firefox 60 but I still can choose to upload a picture on an image block either by taking a picture with the camera or choosing from the phone's gallery.
The steps I used for testing:

Log in on demo.mahara.org website
Edit a page
Add an image block
On the configuration of the block:
 Expand "Image" section
 Click on "Browse" to choose an image file
 Then I see options to upload an image from the camera or from documents, this last one lets me choose an image from my phone's gallery.

To make sure what the issue is, could you upload a screen cast of the
steps you follow along with the operating system version and browser
you're using?

Title:
  Can't upload images previously taken on Mobile device

Status in Mahara:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi All,

  After upgrading from 15.04 to 18.04 a fair amount of previous students
  have complained that they can no longer upload images when using
  Mahara from their mobile device. (Web, not app).

  Typically when uploading an image using image block, students would be
  prompted to choose if they wanted to capture an image or upload from
  their Gallery. This option seems to have disappeared and now opens
  camera without any prompt.

  I've managed to circumvent it slightly by instructing students to
  insert a Text block and from there insert an image from the Word
  Processing bar as a temporary measure.

  I tested on demo.mahara and this is persistent here also.

  # To replicate: (tested on iOS and Android)
  - Log into mahara on Smart phone
  - Open a page and click edit
  - Insert an image block
  - Select 'Choose image'
