Hello everyone! I've tried to install this plugin in Moodle version 3.11.8 but without luck. In a test version it was possible to install but when we tried to install with our Moodle it seems that there was some kind of incompatibility with the system and didn't install. Do you know what I would do to be able to install it?
Thanks in advance.

I really like this plugin and it is working well for us. I have one request and that is to update the text label beside the file upload area. Currently the text says "Assignments files". Some users don't realize that this should only be used if the "Random Assignment" checkbox is selected. It would help to clarify this to users by updating the label to read "Files for Random Assignments" or similar. Even better would be if this file upload area could be disabled if the checkbox is not selected, or only appear when the checkbox is selected. Thank you for your consideration and for creating this useful plugin.

gives me the error "[Error] Plugin does not declare its component name [null]" when I try to install this. Can someone suggest a fix?

Yes, this is a weakness, student knows the file and can try to find someone with the same file. However, we usually generate more files than students so we did not prioritised this issue.

Something that is not clear from the description: is the name of the file received by the students the original one or is it normalized so that the student cannot easily share which version of the statement he got?
