Greetings from Germany
Sometimes Group Admins wants to use a picture on the group startpage.
(A picture is worth a thousand words)
The solution we found to make the the picture visible for non-members is, to put the picture in the site-files.
But we don't want to give users the possibilty to upload files in site-files.
I there another possibilty?
Maybe a feature regquest?

Regards

Hello Jochen,

I can upload a picture to a group homepage and a non-group member can see that picture. Can you please give it a go on the demo site at https://demo.mahara.org and go through the same steps as on your site?

What are the permissions on the file that is not displayed? Did you upload it to the group space or to you personal space?

Cheers

It's me again.

I think i have found the problem.

The picture will not shown on group settings page in group-description field.

If i use a text-block and insert a picture from group-files a non-member of this group can see the picture.

Very strange.

Regards

Hello Jochen,

Thank you for the updates. I filed a bug for the images in the group description. Please have a look and let us know your opinion. I can see two possibilities going forward.

Ok Kristina, i have to look for another job.

Problem between my ears :-(

I have used in my demo group a picture from another group than the demo group.

I have to open up my eyes on the pull-down menue.

Sorry for waisting your time.

Regards 

Jochen
