Ordering

Hi Dan, this question type doesn't support images yet (as afar as I know!) but I can confirm that it works on touch-screen devices. No problem there

Hi Gordon!
I have a few questions regarding this plugin.
Does this question type supports import & export of questions with images in question body & answers in Moodle XML format?
Does it supports input on handheld devices with touch-screen (like smartphones)?

Thanks German. I will add to this page in the near future. best regards, Gordon

Hi Gordon,
Congratulations in your new Ordering question type plugin. It works beautifully
I started a Moodle documentation page at https://docs.moodle.org/28/en/Ordering_question_type. Please feel free to add or change as needed.

Great news. Thank you very much David for all the tremendous work you do for Moodle plugins.
I have modified the upgrade script to check for the existense of the reader_question_instances table before trying to access it. I have also reduced the scope of the css used by this question type to ".que.ordering". I will work the access to $SESSION in due course.
Thanks for your support, help nad encouragement !
best regards
Gordon

Thanks for your updates Gordon. I noticed that the db/upgrade.php referes to the reader_question_instances table. Do I get it right that the version 2013062800 of this question type required the mod_reader? I am a bit worried about the upgrade paths for the current users of this.
In the styles.css, the CSS selectors should be more specific to this question type. This is needed in order to break styling of other areas that would accidentally use the same CSS class names. See core question types for good examples.
Please note that in Moodle, direct usage of the $_SESSION superglobal is discouraged. There are often alternative approaches to achieve the same functionality. If the session usage is really required. you should access it via the $SESSION global.
I was able to successfully test the functionality of question type. I believe you will be able to provide this plugin enough support for eventual fixes for issues reported by the community. For that, you are cleared to land now. Welcome to the Plugins directory!

Dear Aparup,
I am sure you are very busy, but when you have a moment, please could you review the changes I have made to the ordering question type, and if everything looks satisfactory, please make it public.
Actually the mod_reader plugin relies on this question type. Please could you advise me on how to make them a set? In the version.php for the Reader module, I have already setup $plugin->dependencies = array('qtype_ordering' => ANY_VERSION);
bes tregards
Gordon

done!

Aparup, David,
it seems that Beata is not responding to attempts to our attempts to contact him, so please could you remove Beata as the maintainer of the qtype_ordering plugin, and make the me the maintainer so that I can upload the latest version for review for possible inclusion in the Moodle.org plugins publicly available repository. thanks, Gordon

Thanks for sharing this plugin with the Moodle community. Some formal issues were detected and reported by our automated plugin checker tool. Please review all the plugin checker results and fix the issues mentioned, if possible. These changes are typically pretty easy to make but if you have any questions just let us know. For now, I am going to mark this plugin as needing more work. Once you get these formal issues resolved, please use the link “Schedule this plugin for re-approval” so that the plugin code can be fully reviewed and approved by my human colleagues.

Hey guys. Any progress on this? Beata, can you elaborate on your intentions a bit?

Hmm, this software is just a clone of one of my github.com repositories.
I took over maintenance of this software from Tom Robb, who developed this question type for the Reader module (moodlereader.org). I intend to make it available via moodle.org when it is ready and documentation, but it is not ready yet.
As far as I know the original programmer was Serafim Panov (https://github.com/spnova).
Beata, you are not the owner, programmer or maintainer of this software. Why are you trying to make this software available on moodle.org?

ah the read me explains it if i look inside, however the read me points to Gordon Bateson's repository.
Guys, (i've added Gordon here), please let me know how this entry could proceed in your opinions.

'wtyczka' ?
Can you please add some more explanation and also read through http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Plugin_validation#Recommended_URLs
