The versions of the OU question types in the Moodle plugins database have some issues that I believe are linked to the requirement for php 5.3 that throws errors. This may well be causing some people to take a look and deciding the quesitons are entirely broken when in fact they are just minor errors.

For example the export to xml method in ddimageortext needs the qformat type added to make it work. The github versions have the fixes and so could simply be put in the moodle database.

Now that Jamie Pratt has finished fixing all the issues, uploading the latest verisions of the code for each plugin from github to the plugins DB is on my todo list.

In the mean time, I suggest you just grab the code straight from github. It is not hard:

  1. Go to https://github.com/moodleou/moodle-qtype_ddmarker (or the equivalent for other quetsion types)
  2. Using the brach: ... drop-down, select the appropriate branch (at the moment, master == MOODLE_23_STABLE).
  3. Click the ZIP download button.
  4. Uncompress that, re-name the unzipped folder to the right name (e.g. ddmarker) and replace that folder in your Moodle install (e.g. question/type/ddmarker) with what you have just downloaded.
  5. Then go to the admin screen to complete the upgrade.

If you know how to use git, doing the upgrade is even easier.
