Hello,
I was wondering if it's possible to remove the message you get in moodle when you start and submit a quiz.
The first message says: This quiz has a time limit and is limited to 1 attempt(s). You are about to start a new attempt. Do you wish to proceed?
The second message says: You are about to close this attempt. Once you close the attempt you will no longer be able to change your answers.
I'm using Moodle Version 1.9.1+
Any help is most appreciated

First message comes from view.php. You will see that around line 400 it creates a variable called $strconfirmstartattempt. Just reset that to an empty string after it has been initialised - insert something like
// LOCAL CUSTOMISATION starts // Remove JavaScript pop-up warning when staring an attempt $strconfirmstartattempt = ''; // LOCAL CUSTOMISATION ends
Before the line
// Determine the URL to use.
The second message comes from attempt.php, about 50 lines from the end. Again there is a variable, this time $strconfirmattempt, that you need to set back to being an empty string after it has been initialised.
Thankyou very much. It works now
Tim,
This is kind of related. how can i change the wording "Submit all and finish" to "Submit all and finish (click once)"

You can customise all of the user-interface text in Moodle by going to Admin -> Langauge -> Language editing. The docs are here: http://docs.moodle.org/en/Language_editing
Thank you very much. I have learned something new that will be very helpful.
Hi Tim!
I'd also like to remove these two popups, but I'm using version 2.0 and while I found the variable $strconfirmstartattempt (in accessrules.php) I can't find $strconfirmattempt. Could you point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

Re: Remove Message when starting and submitting a quiz
by Alan Kmiecik -
In Moodle 2.3.2 (Build: 20120910):
Go to attemptlib.php in mod/quiz
Around line 343 change:
public function confirm_start_attempt_message($unfinished) {
if ($unfinished) {
return '';
}
if ($this->quiz->timelimit && $this->quiz->attempts) {
return get_string('confirmstartattempttimelimit', 'quiz', $this->quiz->attempts);
} else if ($this->quiz->timelimit) {
return get_string('confirmstarttimelimit', 'quiz');
} else if ($this->quiz->attempts) {
return get_string('confirmstartattemptlimit', 'quiz', $this->quiz->attempts);
}
return '';
}
Change to:
public function confirm_start_attempt_message($unfinished) {
if ($unfinished) {
return '';
}
return '';
}
Your deleting the following from the file
if ($this->quiz->timelimit && $this->quiz->attempts) {
return get_string('confirmstartattempttimelimit', 'quiz', $this->quiz->attempts);
} else if ($this->quiz->timelimit) {
return get_string('confirmstarttimelimit', 'quiz');
} else if ($this->quiz->attempts) {
return get_string('confirmstartattemptlimit', 'quiz', $this->quiz->attempts);
}
Hello guys! I also want to remove that.
I tracked that message and the only file which contains that string is moodle/mod/quiz/renderer.php. I'm working on moodle 2.6.11. Does any of you know how to remove it?
$button = new single_button(
new moodle_url($attemptobj->processattempt_url(), $options),
get_string('submitallandfinish', 'quiz'));
$button->id = 'responseform';
if ($attemptobj->get_state() == quiz_attempt::IN_PROGRESS) {
$button->add_action(new confirm_action(get_string('confirmclose', 'quiz'), null,
get_string('submitallandfinish', 'quiz')));
}
Thanks in advance!
Probably the minimal change is to modify
if ($attemptobj->get_state() == quiz_attempt::IN_PROGRESS) {to
if (false && $attemptobj->get_state() == quiz_attempt::IN_PROGRESS) {(Bold bit inserted.)
Oh Tim, that was impressive. Thank you very much, it worked like a charm! Thanks again.
Hi,
I Too want o get rid of the pop up boxes but changes as in the renderer.php file as desribed in t he last post ' if (false && $attemptobj->get_state() == quiz_attempt::IN_PROGRESS) { ' doesn't work for me. I am using moodle 2.9.1+

The same code change should still work. The link you need to change is now here:
