Gapfill

Nick, go for the 1.4 release here as the 1.5 is still under development. You can see the changes in 1.5 in the file at
https://github.com/marcusgreen/moodle-qtype_gapfill/blob/gapfill_1.5/releasenotes15.txt

Marcus, I'm wondering which version you'd recommend using on Moodle 2.6.3+ at the moment - the 1.4 release linked here, or one of the git branches (the 1.5 branch seems a likely candidate)?...
Cheers,
Nick

What database are you using, (e.g. MySQL or Microsoft SQL Server, Postgres....

Good morning ,
I upgraded to version 2.6.2 moodle platform , so I had to also update multiple plugins that required it . When upgrading to version qtype_gapfill modulo 2006082512 dated January 2014, has jumped me an error when launching the upgrade.php giving the following error:
Debug info : ERROR : syntax error at or near " af"
LINE 1 ... tion_gapfill add noduplicates tinuint column ( 1) default 1 af
ter casesensitive
I've gotten into the code , specifically within the fochero .. / db / upgrade.php and have seen the following:
1 - There are built SQL so erroneous , so it will not cut requires an SQL statement with a carriage return , because PHP does not know if interpreted as the continuation of the SQL string.
2 - when making one alter the table by adding fields , gives error on some points because the table " question_gapfill " previous versions and has some columns that you want to add .
Review the code for this part of the module .
Thank you very much and best regards

Thanks for the support information Marcus, that's extremely helpful.

I have added some content to the Github wiki which may address some questions about support and continuing maintenance. You can see it here

That is a good question Gordon, I will compose a detailed reply. Thank you for your kind tweets.

Hi Marcus,
I also saw your demo at Moot14 and was very impressed. We're not allowed to install anything non-core unless confident the maintenance cycle will continue to stay ahead of our institutional upgrades by at least 1 version. If this became core it would solve our issue - but other than that happening is there any reassurance you can offer?
Thanks, Gordon.

I have seen the feedback that can be put in the core Cloze type but not in the OU question type.

Thank you for the feedback. Could you elaborate on what you mean by hints and when they would be displayed. I have been working on a concept which I call "per gap feedback" which may be a similar idea

Fantastic and inspiring presentation yesterday at mootuk14. Already playing about with table design and layout - superb tool for schools. Wondered how impossible it would be to include "hints" in the task? eg hover over the empty cell or use the Hints feature that is in the OU question type? Many thanks for making this freely available to the community.

If you look at the source you will see a commented out section where I was experimenting with "dissapparing" the selected words. See line 45 of
https://github.com/marcusgreen/moodle-qtype_gapfill/blob/gapfill_1.4/dragdrop.js
Where it says display:none

I understand what you are asking for and I did look at putting in this functionality. However it is not as easy as it first looks. The code for such a change would probably go into
dragdrop.js

Thanks a lot for the plugin. I need your help if you can help me. I need to disappear the words that i use in the gaps.
How i mean that? When i drag and drop a word in a box that word should stop appear in the top with all the other words. Is there any possibility or suggestion for customizing the code?

Thank you very much, I'll try to modify the test.
