Unfortunately I still don't have a solution for this problem due to other work commitments, and also my limited knowledge of JavaScript in Moodle. The only workaround that allows you use Chrome while keeping the plugin installed is to use the image icon to insert images, rather than dragging and dropping them into an Atto editor.

Hi Eoin,
I am facing the same problem reported on 12 Nov 2015 i.e. once I have installed his plugin, I am facing a problem in Chrome browser alone. I am not able to drag and drop image files into the Atto text editor area. I get prompted to open the file in a separate browser tab. This works fine in Firefox. If I uninstall this plugin, the drag and drop works fine in Chrome. Can you please guide on this?
Thanks.
Regards.

Hi Eoin,
I'm in dire need to copy paste a large content from word into moodle. The "paste from Word" button seemed to be the saviour but when I try it it does not work. It keeps some of the formatting but the formatting of the titles and rubriks aren't kept but are rendered without formatting. Do you know how I can get around this problem?

Hi Jeff,
You might have a problem if you are using the Google Chrome browser.
Can you try a different browser and see if that works?
I also released a new version of the plugin (v1.1.0) which may fix your problem.
Let me know. If you send me the Word file you are trying to import, that would help too.

Hi Eoin
I've installed your plugin version Release 1.0.0 (Build 2015101501) into my Moodle 3.0 site.
On dragging a word docx document into a page or using the plugin dialogue box I'm getting the following alert servererror,moodle. I've tried with very simple documents - just headings, no tables and no images, still the same.
I can confirm that XSL is enabled.
Any idea where I can look for a solution?
Thanks
Jeff

Unfortunately I don't have a fix for this issue at present. I'll take a look next week.

Hi Eoin Campbell,
I had installed the module "word import" of atto editor in moodle 2.9.2+.
I found image can't be dragged and dropped to atto editor in chrome brower,but work well in firfox.
At first I suspected it's a bug of moodle ,and reported a bug at
https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-52027?filter=-2
,but I found this problem resulted from the module "word import".
Could you fix your module? Thank you very much.

This sounds like a MathJax configuration issue, but it could also be that the equation has not been converted into the correct MathML for MathJax to display. The equation could be too complex, or else the conversion process has mangled it. Send me the Word document and I can take a look.

I have XSL properly installed on my Unix Server, it import .docx file quite fine into the atto_editor but on display, the equations varnishes with error being unable to equations

Hi David, many thanks for your assistance, it's been a real education for me.

Hi Eoin. I believe this is good to go now. I noticed direct usage of XMLHttpRequest instead of the Y.io wrapper but I can understand this choice today. I left some more comments in the tracker but I can't see any approval blocker now. You are cleared to land, welcome to the Plugins directory.

David Mudrák

Hi again. The plugins team is currently busy with other development tasks for the upcoming Moodle 3.0 release, so please expect delays in the review and approval process. Thanks for your understanding and patience, we will do our best to get to reviewing your plugin soon.

Eoin Campbell
Hi David, thanks for your patience. I believe I have addressed the security issue, as I now ensure that only files from the current users context are deleted. I have released yet another version which I hope you can review for me.
