Course Import/Restore error

Course Import/Restore error

Hello!

I have moodle 2.5.1+ installed. I created a course named Course A with 5 topics which only have title and description. I tried to import these topics to Course B but I get the following error:

"Restore method process_pmatchreverse is missing. It must be defined by a developer."


The same error came up when I tried to restore a backup file of Course A merging it into Course B.

I tried to restore the backup file into a new course on a different moodle 2.5.1+ installation I have. Still the same error...

Any idea why this is happening? :S

Hi Isidora,

It sounds as though the problem is caused by the add-on question type Reverse pattern match. Please see Tim's comments in the Plugins directory entry https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=qtype_pmatchreverse.
