Bug Description
We're running Moodle 2.6.2 and Mahara 1.9 on Linux with MySQL.
When a user opts to export a discussion forum post to Mahara in HTML format, the post turns up in the user's Content/
A look at the Artefact_File_Files table shows that the earlier exported posts were, under Mahara 1.8x, identified with a mime type of text/html, but that the posts appearing since our Mahara 1.9 upgrade are being mapped as application/
The problem also appears when a Leap2 file is imported into the system. While an imported *page* displays its associated imported content without any problems, the content itself shows the same mime problems: quicktime movies, pdf files, all seem to be misidentified, with the result that they appear in the content area, but cannot be selected for use on any other pages: the associated plugins ("PDF" and "Embedded Media") fail to show in their file selection windows that any pdf or mov files exist.
These problems were *not* at hand with our earlier Mahara 1.8x installation, and, insofar as both seem tied to the mapping of the files in the Artefact_File_Files table, both seem to share a common issue, pointing to the way that mime types get recorded in Mahara 1.9.
