I updated from 2.4 to Moodle 2.5.2+ and experience problems with my questions. Some now display a question mark - unknown question type. I figured out that the OU questions seems to miss, so I wanted to install them, but now I receive the message that I need to resolve plugin requirements, but I don't know how. I downloaded the questions types and wanted to install them manually, but this does not work either.
Could anybody please provide any help. Thanks.

OK, I just did it. It was working fine in 2.6, but there is a bug fix, so you should probably upgrade to the latest version that I just uploaded.

Sorry, this is still on my todo list. Hopefully this week, but I can't guarantee that.

Has anyone tested this with Moodle 2.6?

Hello,
I had a bit of trouble finding the documentation for the Select Missing Words question type. So FYI, an explanation can be found here:

http://labspace.open.ac.uk/mod/oucontent/view.php?id=470268&section=5.4.6 is a more specific link. (I updated the link above to point there.)

Had a slight problem with the download fron plugin page file when installing during notification had a message that the version of Moodle was wrong. Tim sent me to github to get a new file which worked. This seems to be for both gapselect and select missing word files.
