Cannot find the quizzes i created

Hi there,

I am having a little issue over here and I would really appreciate if you can help me out. I have been looking for similar question over the forums, but could not find any, and if there was I apologize for repeating it. So here is my problem:

- I have one Course category; with two courses. Recently I have created four quizzes in the activity module from the image bellow:

Couple of days after that i had to re-organize the structure and i deleted one of the two courses i had, where those four quizzes were. So now i have to get the same four quizzes in my new course (which I created on the place of the deleted one) and i was wondering is there a way to get those four quizzes back, without doing them all over again?

Just to make things clear - when i was deleting, i deleted the whole course (including the articles and those four quizzes). I did not delete the quizzes specifically.

I will be thankful if you can point me in the right direction, because that would save me a lot of time.

Thanks

If you have a backup of the course you deleted you can restore those quizzes to the new course from the backup by 'adding data to existing course' and selecting to restore only the quizzes. If you don't have a backup I don't think there is a way to restore the quizzes. smile

I have to agree with Itamar... If you saved them in the course and you don't have a backup of it, it's probably gone sad I did the same thing once and I lost all my quiz work, so the next time I saved it under Default for System.

Thank you very much for your answers. I re-created my quizzes so it is fine now. From now i will just save them in the system big grin

Anyway, i have another question - How can i delete a submitted quiz result? What i am trying to do is add several questions to one of my quizzes, but because i was testing it the other day, i already submitted one score. Now every time i go to the Quiz --> Results, i try to delete it by ticking the box in front of the result and then clicking on the DELETE SELECTED ATTEMPTS button, but nothing happens. The page just refreshes without the attempt being deleted. Or better if you can tell me how to add those extra questions to the quiz (because this is my primary objective) I would be grateful.

Thanks

You must delete all attempts before you can edit the quiz and add questions. A screenshot may help figuring out why you can't delete the attempt in your quiz. smile

There was a bug to do with delete selected attempts recently. What version of Moodle are you running?

That version had the bug. It was fixed well before the 1.9.10 release. The bug number is MDL-23377, but you probably won't be able to access that, because there were (minor) security implications.

If you can't upgrade, then the patch you need to apply is http://cvs.moodle.org/moodle/mod/quiz/report/overview/report.php?r1=1.98.2.55&r2=1.98.2.56.

Dear Tim,

I cannot thank you enough for your help! I added the code, and now it works fine! I managed to delete the previous attempts.

Well, actually, it was me who introduced that bug, just before the 1.9.9 release was made, and no one noticed until after the release, so perhaps you should be cursing me, not thanking me wink

You need to provide some more specific information about your situation, because it works when I try it. (Have you tried turning on Debugging?)

Tried it again today, and it worked, but I don't understand why.....

Let's not spend any more time on this, if it happens again I'll go into debugging etc.

Some weeks ago I noticed that "delete selected attempts" doesn't work (in Moodle 2.0.2+) if you are working with a subset of the students, i.e. one particular group.

As a workaround, you have to select "All participants" prior to selecting individual attempts and deleting it.

At least, it worked for me.

Hope this helps.

Maybe this issue is a ressurection of an identical issue (now closed) in Moodle 1.9.9: See MDL-22847.

Should I reopen the issue?
