STACK

Yes. That is the preferred way to report bugs.
If you are not sure whether something is a bug or not, or if you just want advice, then the Moodle Maths forum (linked to as 'Discussion' above) is the best place to ask.

Loving STACK! --I entered a bug on your github page. Is that the best way to alert you of a problem?

Malik, STACK conforms exactly to the normal Moodle system of language strings for plugins. E.g. http://docs.moodle.org/24/en/Translation Please do get involved in translating STACK. This would be very welcome. If you need STACK specific changes, e.g. splitting up strings for any reason, please let me know. Chris

Is there a french translation for Stack's feed back. Or a guide on how I could translate them?

Wonderfull, plugin. Thank you so much.

Thanks German. Very helpful.

Hi Tim,
I hope you don't mind that STACK is now listed in http://docs.moodle.org/25/en/Question_types#Third-party_question_types
and there is a Moodle Docs page at http://docs.moodle.org/25/en/STACK_question_type , whish is also translated into spanish.
The STACK plugin English language strings are 90% translated into spanish and the translation should be finished in a month.

I have not seen that error from STACK.
Can you try again with Debugging set to DEVELOPER level, and send us the full error message, including the stack trace.

Hi:
Getting this error with latest release:
Coding error detected, it must be fixed by a programmer: Cannot require a CSS file after has been printed.
Was able to test with Moodle 2.5 and previous release. Any idea what to verify?
Thanks

Emilio,
It looks to me like PHP could not start a CAS process at all. Hence, there is no version number being returned. If you email me the HTML page you get back from the healthcheck, and let me know a little about your system I will be able to help more.
If you are on unix you need to ensure maxima is installed and working. Try the command line "maxima".
Chris

Hi,
I tried to instal the plugin several times. I think I followed step by steps the instructions but when running STACK healthcheck I get the message:
The version of the STACK-Maxima libraries being used (So old the version is unknown!) does not match what is expected (2012122800) by this version the the STACK question type. It is not really clear how that happened. You will need to debug this problem yourself.
And CAS result
Warning, empty result!
unpack_raw_result: no results were returned by the CAS.
Unpacked result as
Array

Has anybody similar problema?

You are right. That is just a silly typo. I have comitted a fix to git.
In fact, the drop-down list input type is not yet working in STACK 3.0, so this string is not used anywhere, so the typo does no harm.

Hi Christopher.
I must confess I am only a veterinary pathologist who enjoys translating Moodle into spanish, and it's been 30 years since I took calculus, but one English language string in qtype_stack seemed odd to me:
2.4 [ddl_empty,qtype_stack] "No choices were provided for this drop-down. Please input a set of values link a,​b,​c,​d"
I wonder if the word "link" should not really be "like".
I apologize if am asking a silly question and I thank you in advance for your help.

The strings are now available in AMOS.

German, thanks for your interest in STACK.
It is indeed a long time since we uploaded the beta here. We really ought to upload a new version. I will discuss it with Chris, and with any luck we can do that tomorrow. The latest version of the code is available on github, of course, and Chris is now using it for real in his teaching. (We already have some translation too, and I need to transfer those to AMOS.)
