Hi,
I am trying to modify the code of the adaptive question behavior , in a way that if the selected choice is correct the student should proceed to the next question (page) without having to press next again
I tried using the function process_action in the behavior file, I understood the code where it checks if the selected option is the correct answer, however I am unable to redirect the user to the next page from there. Any help . pointers would be much appreciated
Thanks
Don't try to do this in the adaptive question behaviour. That breaks the encapsulation that is the whole point of the software design.
The place to try to do this is in mod/quiz/processattempt.php. There, you have access to the state of all the question on the current page (after the response have been processed) and if they are all right, you can adjust the variables for which page to go to next before the redirect happens.
Hi Tim,
Thanks for the reply. I was of the opinion I would have to create a new behavior type to achieve this, Anyway , I will modify processattempt.php
I assume I have to pass the attemptid to get the quba object like this
$quba = question_engine::load_questions_usage_by_activity($attemptid);
and then loop through to check each question is correct ,
foreach ($quba->get_attempt_iterator() as $qa) {
if ($qa->get_state()->is_correct()) {
}
}
In my case there will be just one question per page .. Yet the loop get iterated 8-10 times
What you assume is not quite correct. You need to read the code a bit more. https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Using_the_question_engine_from_module may also help explain. Also https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Overview_of_the_Moodle_question_engine.
Thank you for your help Tim,
I finally got it to work , but still would like to get your opinion in case there is scope for improvement. Also posting the code incase someone wants to replicate the same thing. In processattempt.php , just after the transaction is committed , I added this code
Since I have just one question in one page (slot) it seems to work for me for now , Though I am aware the code might break in case there are more than one question on a page
if(($attemptobj->get_question_status($slots,true))=='Correct') {
$page = $nextpage;
if ($page == -1) {
$nexturl = $attemptobj->summary_url();
} else {
$nexturl = $attemptobj->attempt_url(null, $page);
if ($scrollpos !== '') {
$nexturl->param('scrollpos', $scrollpos);
}
}
}
