despite being very satisfied with the plugin itself, but taken by despair at the students' grievances for the use of comma and dot if I came up with this solution:
- start mysql shell
- search for a question string:
SELECT id FROM `question` WHERE `questiontext` like '%.......%';
- annotate the id, ev. show data:
select name,value from question_attempt_step_data where attemptstepid in
(select id from question_attempt_steps where questionattemptid in
(SELECT id FROM `question_attempts` WHERE questionid= <idDomanda> )
) and name like "_\__";
- replace comma with dot:
UPDATE question_attempt_step_data SET value = REPLACE(value, ',', '.') WHERE attemptstepid in (select id from question_attempt_steps where questionattemptid in (SELECT id FROM `question_attempts` WHERE questionid= <idDomanda> ) ) and name like "_\__";
- reassess the quiz
I saved myself from a tedious job of revisiting questions!
