If the number of attempts at a quiz is limited, or if there is a time limit, the student has to OK a pop-up warning before they can start an attempt.

Previously, the logic for when a warning was shown was completely broken.

I think I have fixed it, but it is a big change, so for now I have only checked it into 1.7 dev.

I would be very grateful if anyone could test starting quiz attempts in 1.7 dev, and make sure the right error is shown at the right time, and that I have not broken anything else.

Once we are sure this is working, I'll check it into 1.6+.

More info in bug 6048.

Must dash off now. Off to see Pirates of the Carribbean.

Please, someone, test this!

Open source means that we all should be working together to make Moodle better. Not that I fix all your bugs for you for free and with no help.

Tim - I would be happy to test this. By chance are the code changes posted to test.moodle.com? Thanks for all your work on the quiz module - it is one that many folks rely on and it is very, very complicated. Peace.

test.moodle.com seems to be running 1.6+ at the moment. At the moment the change I want tested is only in 1.7 dev.

1.6+ is meant to be a stable branch, so I don't want to check these particular changes into it until I am sure I have not messed anything up.

Tim-You are getting paid to do this work by the OU. But many of the rest of us helping to test these things ARE doing so for free.
