Can anybody help us out?
AFAIK you cannot have decimal points for question grades yet but it appears you may be able to in 2.0 (at least my development site allows me to have 0.5).
A work around would be (if all questions are worth 0.5) to make the value 1 then half the maximum grade as this will scale the total points to half.
I hope this helps
Cheers

The data types used to store grades in the database in Moodle 1.9 were a nasty mix of integer, floating-point and fixed number of decimal places.
In Moodle 2.0 (not released yet) I made it all consistent.
"100% / No. of questions" (Eg. 100% / 20 Qns = 5 Marks for each questions)
I am bumping up this older thread as I am experiencing the same issue in Moodle 2.8.5, is this normal? 0.5 is rounded down to 0, I can't sem to find a way to circumvent this problem. Any insights on how to fix this, in a server setting perhaps?
How many decimal places are you displaying in grades? If you are using half marks, you probably need to make it more than zero.
Hi Tim,
I'm using the default setting (2). So, let's say for a given quiz question, Moodle displays 1,00 when I add a question from my bank, if I click on the pencil icon, type in 0,50 and press Enter on my keyboard, Moodle resets the point total to 0,00. The same behavior occurs if I try putting in 1,50 or 1,75 for example, the result is rounded down to 1,00.
I'm also seeing this under version 2.8.8+.
You are not actually using commas are you? Instead of periods? Is that maybe the problem?
Our installation is in French. I know that entering data with a period works: it also needs to work with commas.
Which Moodle version? We have fixed most of the places you might enter 0,50, but some of those fixes are quite recent, and it is possible we have missed some. (Can you test on qa.moodle.net?)
Hi Tim,
We are using version 2.8.5+ (20150505) in production and 2.8.8+ (20150924) on our test server. Unfortunately, we are not ready to go to a more recent version - we upgraded from 2.6 to 2.8 over the summer and my users are still struggling with this version.
EDIT: I just tested this on one of the QA sites (http://school.demo.moodle.net/mod/quiz/edit.php?cmid=233), same problem when using French as the course's default language and attempting to modify points using commas.
Ah, I am thinking of MDL-39195. Someone made a patch, but it was not quite right, and did not have any automated tests, and I have not had time to finish the work off.
However, hopefully it will get fixed soon-ish.
Good stuff, thanks!
Same problem in Czech. Depending on language numeric standard we have problems too. (Currently tested on qa.moodle.net)
