Activity icons on Oppia

Hi @alex,

I am trying to have the icons of all the activities on Oppia have the same COVID image (see screenshot below). This has worked well for all the activities. I have been putting the image in the description tab in the settings menu for each activity. But, for some reason this strategy is not working for activities that are of “feedback” type (see screenshot below).

Any idea on how I can fix this? Is it at all fixable on the Moodle or Oppia sides? Thanks!

Hi @whedidar

It’s actually a fix that needed to be made in the Moodle Oppia export block code, but it’s already fixed as we noticed another issue with the course/activity icons sometimes not always showing correctly (see: https://oppiamobile.readthedocs.io/en/latest/technical/releases/block/changelog_moodleblock.html#v1-1-2-released-20-oct-2020)

At the moment though, the Moodle server that you’re using doesn’t have updated version of the block with this fix in it. I’ll need to wait for @manuel / @julie to confirm they’re happy for me to push the updated code to your Moodle server.

Cheers,
Alex

Hi @whedidar - we just pushed the changes to the block onto your server now, so the issue with the activity icons should be fixed up now.

Note though that the updates also include changes to how the activities are uniquely identified. I presume that @Manuel or @Julie will/have explained some of this to you.

Cheers,
Alex

For this scenario it could be useful to be able to define a default icon in the Moodle export block for a course. We could add that as a future functionality to add.
