Hello,

I've had a look and I can't see any other questions about this.

We use our Mahara as an art portfolio, students work on it throughout a multi-year course and tutors can view their progress and make comments.

One of the tutors has been in touch because the information that used to be displayed along with a preview on the image block no longer appears on newer images. I presume this has been since the last major update but it's only been brought to my attention now.

Older image block:

How it looks now:

I didn't see anything in the Mahara manual about these changes, and maybe they are considered minor, but the tutor is looking at portfolios that students work on for 16 months and it's going to make it much harder for her to keep track of images she has seen unless she comments on every single one.

I'm not sure if it's a bug or a conscious decision but is there any chance of reversing this change so that we can see when an image was uploaded to a block?

Kind regards,

Robyn

Hi Robyn,

Thank you for your report, I can confirm this is a bug and I have created an issue report for this. (see https://git.mahara.org/catalyst/mahara/-/issues/1147)
