Introduction
This document is about functional specification for the file picker
Requirements
- be able to select a file in a external repository (in order to be associated with an activity, resource, user profil,...)
User Interface
Javascript enabled
Moodleform
Following a picture of the Moodleform user interface: one button to display or undisplay the file picker, the read-only filename text field, and the ajax file picker.
HTML editor

Javascript disabled
As there is no HTML editor when javascript is disabled, we look to the Moodleform case only:
on every page when a user wishes to add a file, he clicks on the Add file button. A new page with the file picker is displayed in the same window. The file picker user interface should be similar to the one with Javascript, except that every user action will refresh the entire page. Once the user clicks on Select button, he's redirected to the previous page. The previously entered data (by the user) are still displayed.
