I only found out a few months ago that Parent profile appears as an option when you share a folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive added an external link to the dashboard!! got the file from reference from frog dive... I don't think you can do that! Well clearly it hasn't worked, but.... if you add the folder on a blank site and use the site link or the site widget to put in on the dashboard then it should work. Alternatively I have a widget that works just like the good old web files brick in frog3 - upload whatever straight into it and whoever the site is shared with can view // contribute can add etc Edited April 4, 2019 by pconkie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does your parent account have access to the shared folder? if you add the shared folder widget to the same site, can they open the files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Quince Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 OK, - fixed it This is the actually URL for the PDF: https://vlevm.ga.newcastle.sch.uk/app/file/resource/EDD0B3C520030544F8527FE100F58C0C776FBD0C917F540A.pdf as opposed to: https://vlevm.ga.newcastle.sch.uk/app/file/asset/F0C0C736200307AAEE73AFDE2287E2061B7A7DDC98075E2A/ I also noticed that even though you'd shared the folder with Parents, the little share icon didn't appear on the folder and i couldn't select it using the Shared Folder widget. Best guess Parent sharing wasn't included at first and when added, was overlooked. I'll report this to QA. Quite why the File's URL is different for Admins to parents is a mystery to me. @adamw might have an explanation. How I got the other URL: Added the Shared Folder to the Parent dashboard Logged into the Parent dashboard as a parent in Incognito mode. Open the developer console Open the PDF via shared folder. In the Network section, about halfway down, spotted that one of the lines had .pdf at the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
