Hello,
I want to use Calculated Multichoice Questions within a quiz. So far so good - I have understood the funcionality, etc.
BUT: as I can see, the choices / answers cannot be formulated by use of Atto / TinyMCE but only as a simple text field, where no formatting or complex answers are possible.
Is this really a missing functionality or just matter of settings I did not discover so far?
Looking forward to your answers.
Thx, Martin
PS: I am trying with version 3.8.2+
Hello Martin,
Is this really a missing functionality or just matter of settings I did not discover so far?
I think this is a missing functionality.
You can try the Formulas question, with which you can get, for example:
See MoodleFormulas.org.
or
See MoodleFormulas.org.
Hi Martin,
What I am missing there is a function for number formatting...
There is a sigfig() function for significant digits, but there is no specific built-in function for the comma separator, the thousands separator and the decimal places. You have
to work with the available functions and maybe some javascript. Have fun!
And constructing complex answers is also very hard (by combining the answers by using the join-function). Is there any easier way for this?
At the moment, I don't see any other way to do it.
In my previous post, the correct link is Multi choice with TeX equations.
I would like to add that the choices in a multiple choice question of the Formulas question can easily be formatted, and that links and elements such as images, videos and audios can easily be inserted:
Hi Dominique,
thank you for the supplement. In the meantime I am preparing my complex choices (including formatted tables) outside of Moodle by using the text functions of Excel and then copying/pasting the final choice to Moodle.
Example:
b = join("","<table><tr><td style=width:248px>",text_21,"</td><td>",currency,"</td><td style=width:56px;text-align:right>",value_21,"</td></tr><tr><td style=width:248px>",text_22,"</td><td>",currency,"</td><td style=width:56px;text-align:right>",value_22,"</td></tr><tr><td style=width:248px>",text_23,"</td><td>",currency,"</td><td style=width:56px;text-align:right>",value_23,"</td></tr></table>");
It's laborious but it's working.
An integrated editor for elaborating such choices would be very helpful 😉
And also a function for formatting dates, values, etc to local settings (comma separator, thousand separator, etc) would be great. 😉
Regards, Martin
Hello Martin,
I see in you previous post: <td style=width:248px>. This is the correct syntax and it will work, while <td style="width:248px"> or <td style='width:248px'> will not work.
By the way, you may be interested to know that quotes in attributes such as style or href are not strictly required in HTML (not XHTML), in other words, attribute values can be unquoted.
If you want to include quotes for other reasons, you cannot put regular single quotes or double quotes, but you can put other types of quotes such as ‘ ’ ‛ ‟ “ ” „ « » ❝ ❞ ＂, etc. See for example &what;.
