Hello Lee JH NY,
I'm happy to see that you are using our plugin on moodle 3.4. We are still testing it and hope to release it soon.
I can confirm your problem, even on older moodle versions. Would you mind creating an issue on github? https://github.com/academic-moodle-cooperation/moodle-mod_offlinequiz
For the short term you can avoid the problem by changing the output format to docx in the offlinequiz-preferences and export it to pdf from there. Almost all word processor programs support that feature.
We are using "FreeSans", which has a lot of different character blocks, but not the one you need (probably the Hangul-Block https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangul_Syllables ?)
Greetings
Thomas
Text is broken when converting to PDF. Korean does not display correctly in PDF. All letters appear in a box. It's probably a problem with the character set. Moodle version is 3.4
@Rajesh Thingmax, I don't know why your cron is ignored from the moodle core. If it's in there it should work. Have you tried running the cronjob seperately? A detailed description is in the section "Cron Job" in the README.md which is shipped with the plugin.
@Richard Samson, sadly that's not possible, because we identify non crossed ID-Number columns as error. It would be probably a bit confusing for the students what to cross out in their test, if they have 6-digit number. Maybe you can provide another non-changing number in a different column?
We just published version 3.3.2 of the Offline Quiz plugin for Moodle 3.3 (additional index for tables page_corners and scanned_page).
We are just starting to use this plugin. It is great. Congratulations!
We have an issue that we don't know how to deal with. Most of our users have 8-digit IDs in the Moodle user table. But some earlier ones have only 6 digits. If we set up the formula as a[8]=username, the 8-digit students are identified correctly but not the 6-digit ones.
Any help appreciated.
Hi i am unable to run cron. If i run the moodle cron offline quiz is not detected in the process
Hello again, I see from your git repo that being able to use the custom profile fields for the key identifier is on your list and possibly triaged. Do you have a roadmap that shows when this feature might become available? I'm hoping to be able to promote this module across my campus, but I need this feature to truly streamline the workflow. Thank you.
Thomas, I tried printing on US Letter without scaling, and although the guides did match up the system still did not seem to know where the boxes were supposed to be. I was hoping that would work, but it did not. I tested the system with an A4 answer sheet, and it worked as advertised. Mostly I'm posting this as a warning to others in the US who might be struggling with this. Thanks for responding so quickly.
hi Carly, unfortunately the offlinequiz only supports A4 at the moment. The US-Letter format is not supported. Its a feature we have on our list, but since its not easy to implement (the scanning algorithm is not easily changeable in that matter) this feature will not come very soon. Once our new scanning algorithm is rewritten, we will work on that feature.
Hi, I'm having a little trouble with the scanned PDFs being recognized properly. It seems like it is having trouble recognizing where the boxes should be on the page, and it's not recognizing the answer area at all. I wonder if this is related to the answer sheet being printed on 8.5" x 11" paper rather than A4 paper? I have some screenshots of what I am getting here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6I1jvY2f3bgN0VoUVN1bTNVV28 Can you provide any assistance?
We just published a version of the Offline Quiz plugin for Moodle 3.3 – have fun.
We just published version 3.2.5 of the Offline Quiz plugin fixing a Boost theme related bug (questions could not be aded).
Thank you Thomas!
The offlinequiz-plugin for 3.3 will be released very soon. We maid the plugin Boost-Theme compatible, thats why it took a little bit longer this time. We will make a comment here, once its released. If you want to use the beta-Version of 3.3 look at our master in the github repository.
