As soon as I put the "turnitin" folder into my Moodle's "plagiarism" subfolder, the site only returns http error 500 when trying to access it.
It is so broken that I cannot even provide any additional error codes, since it completely breaks my site...
Some error during the upgrade (on a windows IIS /MSSQL moodle instance) resulted in a blank screen. Plugin overview reported new version number, but the new scheduled tasks weren't created, though the old one got removed. We ended up having to manually put them into the database.
We reported this to turnitin, but they want admin access to look into it, and we don't allow that.
It actually took several weeks of back and forth after realising no submissions had been sent to work out the problem.
I've been thinking I've come across a bit of a bug, but wanted to make sure I'm not missing something simple before I do that. I've come across an expired 'class' which puts all documents into read-only mode. The Moodle course has no expiry date enabled. There are 6 assignments with plagiarism plugin enabled, one of which had a due date of 4 days ago and the others are in the future.
On the Turnitin V2 mod, this can be rectified by extending the due date of the Turnitin assignment (Moodle TT) from within the Turnitin grading page (.../mod/turnitintooltwo/view.php?id=xxxx).
However, the class expiry of a Moodle assignments with plagiarism (Moodle PP) looks to be an arbitrary date when viewing on turnitinuk.com. I see nothing in the course or assignment settings which relates to the class expiry when viewing on Turnitinuk.com. I realise this can't possibly be the case... but where can it be set/updated from?
Is there a way to set the class expiry or initiate a refresh from within the Moodle course/assignment interface to take assignments out of read-only mode?
I've tried enabling a course end date in the future, updating the course start date to a recent date and all assignment date related settings but none appear to update the turnitin class end date. The only way I've been able to re-enable these assignments & submissions (out of read-only mode) is to login to turnitinuk.com and extend the class end date.
Perhaps I'm simply misunderstanding how Turnitin classes work and/or the relationship between turnitin assignments and classes.
Thanks in advance!
Could you provide more information please? We don't experience any crashes.
Please help us to resolve the issue which we are facing our instructors are waiting for it.
I've added an issue to github but are not sure if I need to add it here as well??
Thanks,
Andrew
