Choice "not available anymore"

Choice "not available anymore"

Hello,

I created a choice within the block "Main menu" and later I tried to delete it.

Now, it is still displayed in the blocks "Main menu" and "Navigation" and I can still open the "Updating"/Editing window. But if I want to save the edits, simply open the choice or delete it, I get the error-message:

"get_record() not available anymore" or
"update_record() not available anymore"

Even if I want to create a new choice, I get an error-message:

"insert_record() not available anymore"

Is there any possibility to delete this choice manually? Where do I find the data of this choice?

Thanks!

PS: I'm using moodle 2.0

I've just realised, I can't create any new choice - it doesn't matter where within our moodle...

Something strange has happened to your install. Those are the sorts of errors you would get if you tried to use a 1.9 module with Moodle 2.0. However, choice is one of the standard modules, so it must be up-to-date.

Hey Tim, thanks for your reply!

I'm new to moodle and have only installed moodle 2.0 - I have never installed an older version - so, this is really strange...

How can I update the choice module or reinstall it without losing my whole moodle installation, I've just completed? When I go to "Settings" -> "Site administration" -> "Plugins" -> "Activity modules" -> "Manage activities" I see an overview of all modules and a button to delete the choice module. Where would I get an install package to reinstall it? On this moodle-page, there is written:

There is no download link for this module because it is included in the standard Moodle download package.

Hello,

I successfully deleted the activity "choice" with all database entries and it was automatically reinstalled. smile

Now, all broken links to not-existing choices are gone, but I still can't create new choices - I still get the error-message:

"insert_record() not available anymore"

What can I do to use choices again? Is there any alternative activity?

as Tim mentions - your upgraded files are messed up - deleting the choice activity in the interface doesn't delete the files - it deletes the entries in the db.

you need to delete your wwwroot files and re-install the latest 2.0 versions - specifically the mod/choice folder as it still contains 1.9 versions of the files instead of the 2.0 versions.

Hey Dan!

Thank you very much - it worked...

First I deleted the choice activity in the interface. When I got the "successfully deleted"-message I didn't click "Next", but opened my FTP client and deleted the /mod/choice folder on the server. I still have saved all files of my moodle installation locally on my PC, so I could easily upload the mod/choice folder. In the next step, it was automatically installed in the interface and everything works fine right now! smile
