Hi Cecilia,

Apologies for the misunderstanding,

I attached two videos to two seperate comments (could only upload one
per comment).

Video 1 -  'Using Image Block' is attached to comment #3.
This shows the image block opening the camera straight away rather than asking if the user wants to view file browser

Video 2 - 'textBlock.m2v' is attached to comment #4
This shows the text block, making use of the upload image facility here. This option does allow students to browse their phones but is a different instruction than what they are given at induction.

This is still persistent with Android and iPads, still opening the
camera rather than allowing to upload from the Gallery.

Regards,
Alec

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

Status in Mahara:
  In Progress
Status in Mahara 18.04 series:
  Confirmed
Status in Mahara 18.10 series:
  In Progress

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'
