Hello Idriss. This is not a good place for such questions; I'd rather go to the Moodle Quiz Forum. Nevertheless, I gave it a quick try and could not reproduce your problem. Setting 0.22 as the answer and s as the unit, the student can enter 0.22 s or 220 ms and both are considered correct. You do not have to add any special conversion rules or whatever. This works out-of-the-box.
Dear Developper, I don't understand how to manage conversion unités for seconds. Indeed, for other units, everything seems to work but not for seconds ! I want to add "s: k c d m u n p f;" but when my users try to answer with "ms" it doesn't work. For example, the correct answer entered by the teacher is "0.22 s" and a student wants to put "220 ms". It should be correct but it's corrected wrong ! Could please help me with that ?
Dear users. Moodle 4.5 (LTS) has just been released. We are pleased to announce that our plugin is fully compatible and we have just published a service-release 5.3.4 including the necessary tests. There are no new features, so you do not necessarily need to upgrade.
Thanks, Tasos, for your comment.
I actually did not even know that the adaptive multipart behaviour was flagged as "not compatible" with Moodle 4.3, because it de facto seems to be, as all the automated tests we use in the Formulas question plugin automatically install that behaviour as a prerequisite and they all succeed. Also, the plugin list says that qbehaviour_adaptivemultipart in version 4.3.8 works with Moodle 3.9+. Do you actually have any error messages or the like? If so, please feel free to open an issue, even in our bug tracker.
However, removing the dependency is IMHO absolutely unthinkable, because Formulas questions could then no longer be used with the adaptive behaviour. That would be too much of a restriction for many teachers, probably.
Dear Philipp, while the plugin itself is compatible with Moodle 4.3, it has a dependency to "qbehaviour_adaptivemultipart", which in turn is NOT compatible with Moodle 4.3. Would you consider removing this dependency?
Moodle 4.4 is going to be released very soon, bringing support for PHP 8.3. We have just released version 5.3.3 of the Formulas Question plugin and are pleased to announce that it is fully compatible with all recent versions of PHP and Moodle.
Please note that this is (probably) the last version for Moodle < 4.1 and PHP < 8.0. The next major release will focus on the more recent versions.
We have added further stability improvements and released version 5.3.2 of the Formulas Question plugin. Sorry to those who have already updated their installation, this could have been added with the last version already.
We have just released version 5.3.1 of the Formulas Question plugin, a bugfix release making sure that a risky grading criterion cannot crash a question or even an entire quiz.
It's https://dynamiccourseware.org/ and the link ("More documentation on this plugin") is just at the top of this page in the section "useful links"…
Wasn't there a moodle course in how to use this? I've forgotten a lot...
Moodle 4.3 and 4.2.3 have just been released, bringing support for PHP 8.2. We are happy to announce that the most recent version of Formulas Question (5.3.0) is fully compatible.
We have just released version 5.2.2 of the Formulas Question plugin, a bugfix release.
Moodle 4.2 has just been released. We are happy to announce that the most recent version of the Formulas Question plugin (version 5.2.1) is fully compatible. Have fun!
DynamicCourseware.org* is currently being updated including Ubuntu, PhP and Moodle, which requires some time offline. The site should be back online soon. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

We are pleased to announce our newest release. Version 5.2.0 fixes a bug with the gcd() function and introduces functions to calculate probabilities for binomial distributions.
