Thanks Daniel, I have updated the 1.9 branch with your fix. The 1.9 branch has some other minior fixes. I don't have a working install of PHP7, so if you could install that and email me at marcusavgreen at gmail dot com to confirm it works I would be very greatful.
I had a fatal error on my site when upgrading my site to PHP 7 on Moodle 3.0.1. I patched and have it in a pull request on github.
Hi Eduardo, I have replied on github, thank you for the screen shot which was very helpful..
Hi Marcus,
I tell you what my problem is. I have a Moodle platform version 2.9.1, with the latest update on the type of "gapfill" question.
The platform is in Spanish, and the problem occurs when generating a question to fill in where the answers have accents (Spanish spelling), when finalizing the questionnaire fails on those responses. No hunt properly.
I've also updated the language pack "Spanish-International", but continues to this judgment when evaluating responses GapFill type.
Any suggestions or bug moodle own?
Uncheck the regular expression checkbox and let me know the result
Hello Marcus,
The plugin is great and helpfull, but I am experiencing the same problem with non ASCII characters. Using Moodle2.8, gapfill1.8. The problem is axactly the same as Cirrelli wrote before. Is there any solution?
Thank you
Hi Marcus,
yes I got your message but I didn't quite understand what I was supposed to do. Thank you for getting back to me so quickly!
Hi Mariapaola, I have sent you a direct message with my email address in it and I have been doing some tests with your example.
Hi Marcus,
I am experiencing an error everytime I work with non ASCII characters. My language is Italian. Whenever I create a gapfill exercise where my students have to write words with a final accent (è, à, ecc) the system will mark the answer wrong even when it's right.
For example, if the word to type in the box is [andrà] and the student writes [andrà], the system will mark it wrong anyway and suggest the correct answer which is ...[andrà]!!!
I am using version 2.9 of Moodle and version 1.8 of Gapfill. I tried switching case sensitivity on and off but it didn't work. Is there a way the problem can be fixed?
Thank you!
Paola
OK... solved! This error appeared when I used @ symbols as delimit characters... Changed it to # , works just fine
Hello again Marcus,
I have trouble with the insertion of audio files (mp3) in the question text area. They don't appear as players but as error messages: PLUGINFILE (empty box)
/name.mp3">name.mp3 ... Any ideas on how to deal with it? I saw Elton's screenshot: it seems to work fine for him.
That's awesome Elton, many thanks for the link.
Hi Marcus,
I just wanted to say thank you for a great plugin. My school uses tablets in the classroom, and the drag & drop functionality is a big plus. I've put up screenshots (see http://934091646357577694.weebly.com/gapfill-images.html) of a couple of questions I made. The first is a pretty standard picture matching. The second is a listening task in which students listen to the audio file (located in the table header) and drag items to the appropriate location on the timetable. I used CSS to change the location of the question status information. It is normally located to the left of the question, but I found that this took up valuable space on the page, especially for a question type like Gapfill.
Hi Sourabh, what version of the plugin are you using, what version of Moodle are you using, have you got case sensitivity on or off (which doesn't matter for versions of Gapfill later than 1.6), and what do you mean by it will not grade the questions.
Hi Marcus,
I am working with non ASCII characters. In the question bank every thing works fine but in the quiz when I check the answers it will not grade the questions. Could you please look into this. Thanks
