Bonjour Gordon
A bug I thought I should mention:
When I upload more tasks (through the "add (more) task choice, I get
error/taskchain/error nodatabaseinfo
from Moodle after clicking on "save".
My work around is , for now, to create a complete new TC.
Many thanks for an extraordinary tool!
Was very glad to learn, and actually see, the students' answers were still available as in the days of yore
_Thanks Mel for pointing out how!

Hi Philippe,
thank you for letting me know about this "nodatabaseinfo" error.
Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to reproduce the error on my test server, so I need your help.
I tried adding tasks to a TaskChain by going to the "Edit tasks" page, selecting "Add (more) tasks" and click "Go". Then, in the file picker, I uploaded a single JCloze file. When I clicked the "Save changes" button at the bottom of the page, the task was added to the TaskChain activity as expected.
Could you confirm whether you *always* get this error when you use the "Add (more) tasks" option?
thanks
Gordon
Hi Gordon,
Sorry to return to this problem so late; but I had to gather more facts.
It seems that the students (and myself, sometimes) are logged off by either Moodle or TC.
We (in my univ) use an LDAP system. It issues a ticket (cookie) that allows the students to be recognised across the e-services of the university. This cookie allows to be instantly authenticated as we click on the login button of any univ e-service.
Problem:
A student starts working on a task and takes a few minutes to complete it. When s/he clicks on "check", the HP activity returns a grade but Moodle, sends the studen to its front page and shows an unauthenticatded status (often after an error page saying "nodatabaseinfo" . If the student clicks on "login" immediatly, s/he is immidiately accepted, _via the cookie_ which shows it's still valid.
Further, TC says the current activity has been "abandoned" and shows 0% when the HP activity may have shown 100% justt prior to trying to get back to Moodle.
I asked the students to click on "check" more often, thinking that prolonged inactivity regarding moodle interaction might be the problem. It does not change anything. It just happens, from time to time.
Besides, relogging, prior to checking with HP, does not help. Moodle will not accept to register the HP result...
Have you heard of anything like this?
PS: Was very glad to read about you here. The article deserves some publicity!
