Hi team, we are using version 1.63 (upgrading to 1.7 imminently) of Mahara in a school setting. We have children upload their work samples to their portfolios fine. BUt is there a way to VIEW these documents within Mahara rather than download them everytime? As a teacher I would love to go through and just LOOK at their work not necessarily download it. And if I was being really indulgent, I would love to comment on it at this stage too. But, I would be happy with just the view option. THANKSSSSSSS

Hello Alicia,

Currently, you can only view images and videos straight in a page, but no other files. We are currently looking into adding support for embedding PDFs so they can be displayed directly in a page.

What file types were you thinking about?

Cheers

Kristina
