Description
-
When you have a # or ' in the file name of an image and embed that image into a new quiz it will display as broken after a few seconds.
Expected Behavior
-
Images which successfully upload should display to users
Workaround
-
For teachers who are running into this issue, they can re-name the files on their computer to remove the # or ' then re-upload and re-embed the files and they should display successfully (re-uploading with the # still in the name will allow the file to display for a few seconds / until they refresh the page)
Steps to Reproduce
Prerequisites: A course
-
Upload an image to the course files from your computer with a # in the file name.
-
Create a new quiz.
-
Add a question to the quiz with the image embedded in the question text (Insert > Image > Course Images > select image).
-
Refresh the page and notice the image is showing as broken.
-
Note: you may need to wait a little bit before refreshing as you have to wait for the link in the be updated to the new inst-fs style of links which occurs in a background job.
