When trying to add multiple questions on a quiz, I get an empty screen (see screenshot).
Purgin all caches fixes the problem, but the problem occurs again after adding one question, so it's not very feasible to that for every question.
This happened to me on Moodle 2.4.0, and also in 2.4.1 after upgrade. I don't use any custom plugin nor nothing strange.
Does anynone have a clue on how to fix that? Does anybody know where the Moodle cache is?
Thanks Tim,
I set Debug to 'DEVELOPER', but I can't see any messages at all.
I also inserted:
$CFG->debug=2047;
$CFG->debugdisplay=1;
inside config.php. But no messages anywhere.
But for some strange reason... now it works fine! Now I can add multiple-answer questions without the need of clearing the cache.
Do you have any clues on how I can enable the Debugging if the above does not work? Shouldn't the Debugging page just work?
Many thanks
Hi,
The problem has now suddenly appeared again, and I would say that now it's worse, because purging the cache does not fix it.
It's also strange that I don't see any error messages at all, or it can be that I cannot get Debugging working...
I'm not able to paste code here. The output of the page is truncated after the header, just after the help. The last part can be found here: http://pastebin.mozilla.org/2092410
EDIT: I'm quite sure that there are no errors in the page and it's not a problem of enabling debugging. I have an ErrorLog directive inside the apache site file, and if I manually simulate errors inside Moodle code I see them without problems. So for some reason the site breaks but there aren't any errors. I've also checked that it's not a permissions problem.
Hi Tim,
Following the instructions, I've enabled Debugging in the admin page, in the config file and in the database. But I only see the screen posted above. No errors when trying to add a multiple-answer question.
If I manually produce errors, for example doing a typo inside config.php, the error and the backtrace is displayed (I'm using xdebug).
I'm trying to locate the issue myself but I cannot either do much without seeing any message.
I see that inside display_question_editing_page() function, "$mform->display();" is printing an empty string.
After that, "echo $OUTPUT->footer();" is not reached.
That's weird. And I don't understand why I'm the only one experiencing this issue, even after the upgrade. And it happens randomly, here are the debug messages when suddenly 'works':

Hi again,
Sorry for the noise, finally I think it was my fault, because I forgot I hacked one function of the Moodle core, see https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=164375#p961405
After getting rid of this unfortunate modification, now I only have the problem when I refresh the page /mod/quiz/edit.php, which is something that I don't really need to do.
Thanks for your time.
