Event when quiz close time has passed

Hello there,

I want to automatically get all grades of all attempts when a quiz closes (when end time has passed) to do an automatic export process to an external service. I found all quiz-related events on which I can sub, but none seems to be related to this behaviour.


A workaround can be to sub to quiz_attempt_submitted and try to deal with it, no probs about it, but I would prefer dealing with all attempts at the same time.


Am I right saying there is no event related to "quiz closed"-like event or am I missing something ?


Thanks by advance,

There is no event for this (because no particuarl Moodle code runs at that time.

Another way to solve this would be to make a scheduled task, which queries the quiz settings table, and finds all quizzes that have timeclose between when the task last ran, and now.

Hello Tim,

Thanks confirming what I thought. Our system is now compliant with a single on it's API so I used the "quiz_attempt_submitted" event and I'm saving every attempt when it is finished and validated by moodle ; this event is doing the job.


Thanks for your reply tho !

That makes sense. If you ever start using User overrides in the quiz settings to allow some students to submit late, you will be glad you did it that way.
