Jaka,
Can you help us to translate and program your plugin to catalan and spanish language?

Hello. This is an excellent plug-in and it works smoothly, until 20 students, and then run into resource problems with the server. Do you have any suggestions on server requirements or server optimizations for using mootyper with larger classes. I would like to scale this up to about 100 students total.
Hi,
I am using Moodle 2.5.5
I install Mootyper on my moodle after editing version.php.
I change this in version.php:
From:
$module->requires = 2012062500; // Requires this Moodle version
To:
$module->requires = 2013051405; // Requires this Moodle version
Mootyper installed and working fine untill I found this:
When I clicked "To manage exercises and categories click here" there is list of lessons but there is no check box displayed to select them sad
I am not a PHP hardcoder so please help me in this issue...

Yep...Kopitar's the man... smile
Thank you again Jaka. I will keep an eye on your grammar. I have not seen anything so far. If I do, I will report it to the forum.
Off topic - I notice you are in Slovenia. I am in the Los Angeles area. I am a big fan of the Slovenian hockey player, Anze Kopitar. It was great to see photos of him on Lake Bled with the Stanley Cup. smile
1. Please note that I never implemented the upgrade process...so for now the best way would be to remove the plugin and install it again (unfortunetly this way you lose all your data - MooTyper instances, grades, etc). I'm was planing to implement this part but I'm stuck... Moodle documentation only points me here: http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Data_manipulation_API ... nothing to help me there
2. About this error: I think I forgot this $table = new html_table(); line before the table setup in the index.php file. I'll add a new version soon...but not today - I was in the forest these three days cuting wood ... soooo tired... :|
3. I opened a forum topic so from now on we'll discuss there, i guess ...
4. I see you guys are from US so please correct me if I make / made any major grammar mistake... smile
Also, it would be helpful if you started a discussion thread for Mootyper in the contributed modules forum. That way we can get new posts regarding Mootyper by email. Thank you again for this great module. smile
Hi Jaka,
I have upgraded to 1.4. Thank you for the fix. I noticed today an error that comes up if a user clicks on "Mootypers" in the activities block. Please see below for the specifics (debugging on).

Jaka, I am looking forward to starting to use this next week in Moodle 2.3. Just installed 1.3 and tested it. It seems to be working fine. Just one minor item...the last two entries (defaultlayout and showkeyboard) in the en lang file, are in Slovenian.
Version 1.2 installed in Moodle 2.3 with no problems. However, the lessons listed in the drop down menu are now in Slovenian. They had been in English before.
We would also like to install this on 2.3.Is the updated file or version available? Still getting the error mentioned by Rob.
Hm... I haven't test it on Moodle 2.3
I'm thinking which length makes the most sense for this two fields (they both represent unix timestamp). I hope 11 will be enough. Anyway this needs to be resolved... I'll have to install 2.3. and try out. I may also start a forum thread about this, to see what the experts think about this.
Thanks for your comment ... this is our first feedback.
Hello,
Thank you very much for this module. It is fabulous. I have been testing it on Moodle 2.2 and 2.3. Installing on 2.3 gave me an error message saying the timetaken and checktime fields had an invalid length in the xmldb file. I changed those values from 32 to 10, and it installed and works in 2.3. smile
