Hello,
I am having an issue with "Gapfill Question". (beta version (this version gives the correct answers): https://github.com/marcusgreen/moodle-qtype_gapfill/tree/gapfill_1.6)
As you can see in the image above, the Grade is 0.00 out of 10.00 when at least there 4 correct answers.
This is only happening with this question type.
Any idea what can cause this issue?
Thank you.
Many thanks for the feedback Victor, this is exactly the type of question I was expecting people to use the question type with. I have just tried it with Moodle 2.7 and the sample questions that ship with the question type (in the sample_questions.xml) file and it appeared to work. Could you export the questions you have been using as xml and post them as an attachment on this forum and I will try them myself. Can you confirm what version of Moodle you are using and the type of database (not that should make any difference at all).
Have you been using the previous version (1.5) with success?
I have a large number of automated unit tests I run over this code so it should be good, but there is no substitute for real people trying it out. I am hoping to present this version at Moodlemoot Dublin this year so it is time I completed testing and got it released.

Hi,
I am using Moodle 2.8.1 (Build: 20141113) / mysql
Version 1.5 worked fine, even this beta 1.6 was working fine untill 2 or 3 days apparently.
Ok, found that, If I answer all the questions the grade works fine, but If I only answer 2 of 10 even if they are correct the grade is 0.00.
I have updated the code in github
https://github.com/marcusgreen/moodle-qtype_gapfill/tree/gapfill_1.6
And tested with the question example you posted plus 19 sample questions that ship with the question and the issue appears to be fixed.
Please give it a try and let me know if it works for you.
Dear Marcus,
I am having a similar problem with drop down gapfill. I think this is happening after the recent upgrade. I have drop-down all the correct answers but on submit and finish it grades it as zero however gives the same answers as correct answers. Please see the screenshot below.
Could you please suggest the changes I should do to correct this problem.
Thanks and regards,
Sourabh
Hi,
Attached is the XML file for your perusal. I could not locate the version but this is the file 'qtype_gapfill_moodle28_2006082513.zip' which I used to install the plugin and did the latest update as reported by moddle.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Sourabh
My apologies Sourabh, it was a public holiday here since Friday and it fell off my to do list. I will look at it as soon as I can.
I notice that the question uses non ASCII script, I have had feedback from people using non ASCII style character sets so that should not be a problem.
Marcus
I think I have found the problem. You use the curved braces within the question which get treated as special regular expression characters. If you edit the question and go to the More options area, check the "disable regex" option and the question should work.
If you have admin access to your Moodle installation you probably want to set this as a default. Go to Admin/Plugins/QuestionTypes/Manage QuestionTypes. Then select the settings link next to Gapfill. If you check the Disable Regex box all new questions will be set to disable regex by default.
What language script is that by the way?
Many thanks Marcus. This is working now.
The language is Hindi and the script it is and many other Indian languages are based on is known as Devanagiri Script. I have used transliteration here which need not require specific fonts.
It would be great to have your Gapfill question type as a plugin in the Mobile app. Please let me know if you are doing anything on that front as well.
God Bless You!
Thanks and regards,
Sourabh
Great plugin, Marcus! Language teachers like me will love this.
Some of my classes are iPad-only, or smartphone-only. Has anyone tested this plugin on tablets or phones?
I had previous trouble with a DDOrder question type due to old YUI library code.
I am also thinking to add this plugin to our Moodle Association of Japan Hub for open courseware sharing (OER). If someone can send me courses with gapfill OER content already made, I will build a special demo course there for download.
Hi Don,
My key objective in creating it was that it should be very easy for teachers to create questions. I wanted the instructions to be no longer than the manual that comes with a standard domestic chair In the end the instructions were slightly longer, a 7 word sentence as follows
"Put square braces around the missing words"
Once I have lured people in with ease of use, it turns out that there are useful things you can do that you cannot do with any other question type.
The awesome Al Rachels tested it on various mobile devices a while ago
https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=251406#p1092014.
I have re-pasted the results of his testing below. I test it against iPad mini and Motorola Moto G as those are the devices I have. The Mobile support is based on the JQuery plugin I have used, it is not something I have coded.
I have been meaning to create some English Language teaching content to demonstrate it. It does come with an xml file containing abtut 20 sample questions to illustrate how it can be used. Something I think would be of benefit to other question types.
