Offline Quiz

Hello,
I encounter difficulties with your (very interesting) module : the cron file seems to work but no scans are analyzed.
Is there forum where it is possible to get help ?

Hi,
I wanted to try it with Moodle 2.7, and have encountered theses problems:
add_to_log() has been deprecated, please rewrite your code to the new events API
display_category_form() is deprecated, please use \core_question\bank\search\condition instead.
So couldn't create group questions, and neither go away with the tests...
Is there a Moodle 2.7 (and more) compatible version in development, and when do you think it will be available?

Hi,
I have sent the german strings included inside this plugin's ZIP file to the german language translators at AMOS.

Hi,
Could you please change the English language string 'totalpointsx', which currently is 'Total of grades: {$a}' to
totalpointsx = 'Total of marks: {$a}'
So that your plugin wil use the same names for 'marks' as the standard Moodle quiz core pages?
And, in the 'Group Questions > Grades' tab page, could you please change the currently used [grade] variable (from Moodle core) to [markedoutof] (from question.php), so that the page will have 'Marked out of' instead of 'Grade', and be more similar to the page of the Moodle core Quiz ?
These suggested changes will greatly help Moodle users of English and other languages.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Congratulations to the authors of this much-needed module. The participating Universities of Vienna have made a great contribution to many Universities world-wide that have requested this feature for ages.
I am currently translating the English strings in AMOS for the Mexican Spanish language pack, and I can anticipate this great plugin will soon be translated to many more languages.
I hope the authors don't mind that I have created the Moodle Documentation page at https://docs.moodle.org/26/en/mod/offlinequiz/mod by copying the information available in the original site. Having this page in Moodle Docs eases the translation of the documentation to many more languages, and it links to the 'Moodle Docs for this page' when a teacher is creating an instance of the offline quiz.
I have also updated the Docs page at https://docs.moodle.org/26/en/Quiz_FAQ#Is_there_a_nice_way_to_print_a_copy_of_a_quiz.3F to show this new plugin version.
I will later be postings some suggestions for fixing small typos in the English strings of thie plugin.

Wow .... I am impressed. Thank you for sharing the module with the community.

Hi guys. Thanks a lot for sharing this module with the community. I must say I'm really impressed. Juergen did a really good job. Since ages ago, whenever I was giving some Quiz module training to teachers at Czech schools and universities, I've been asked for the possibility to use paper versions of the questions in the Moodle question bank. Your module does it - and it does much more actually.
I was able to successfully test the functionality of the module. Having developer debugging on, I encountered "Invalid array parameter detected in required_param(): participantid" (line 410 of participants.php) that should be fixed by using required_param_array().
The only blocker I was facing was the following SQL related error on PostgreSQL: "ERROR: function ifnull(bigint, integer) does not exist". I was able to get it working by using SQL compliant COALESCE() function instead of MySQL specific IFNULL() in your code. Can you please review and fix that please?
The README file contains many important information and instructions. It might be good to have it highlighted at the plugin description here in the Plugins directory (especially the need for a dedicated cron process).
It is worth checking that your module works in more recent Moodle versions (2.7 and 2.8) and selecting them as supported by editing the uploaded plugin version.
Please note, once the module is approved, its English strings are imported into AMOS. You may wish to submit your German language pack at lang.moodle.org and then remove it from your plugin code (plugins as supposed to ship with the English strings only).
With the hope all raised issues will be fixed soon, you are cleared to land. I am happy to welcome this in the Plugins directory!
