Moodle download link for file

One teacher might for instance wish to share a single research document in pdf format; another might have a folder of sample past examination papers for students to download. Most types of files can be uploaded and accessed through Moodle but the student needs to have the correct software to be able to open them.

If you upload a single zipped file, Moodle will automatically unzip it for your students to see it in Moodle. If you upload a number of files as a single zipped file, either as File , nor inside a Folder , Moodle will force the download.

To back up student submissions, see Back Up a Moodle Course. In the menu bar at the top of your course page, select the Course Management button gear icon , the Course Management panel will open.

Hello, If I insert a link using square brackets, then it creates a link to new Wiki page; it is similar to using CamelCase for creating a link to new page. But that is not my requirement. I want to insert a link within Wiki page to download a file, which has been already uploaded to the web site.

Hi Santosh, Sorry I was a little rusty on how I did it. The Documentation link second from the top on the left-hand side uses parameters to add the language specified in the user's profile to the link. Try changing your language before clicking on the link and see where you end up.

Bear in mind that if no MoodleDocs exists for a language, you will be redirected to the English documentation. In general this feature provides a powerful way to connect Moodle to external web resources that are logically divided up by Geographic Region, Course or User details etc. For example you may already have all your past course papers available ordered by course code. This allows a standard course template to be created that points to different places when the course code is changed.

The encrypted code can be used to authenticate a Moodle user on an external system, thought it is NOT the user's password. This value can be passed with user details such as the username to the remote application which just needs to verify that the encrypted code is correct for the current user's IP address.
