Hi
I had a quiz category name with an apostrophe in it. When I tried to add a random question to a quiz from this category I got the "Could not add new question!" message. After trying everything else, I tried removing the apostrophe from the category name and then the question could be added! Anyone else seen this? I'm new to this too - how would this be logged as a bug?
regards
Paul
Hi
Version 1.7 too. I tried closing the browser and logging in again, resaving the questions, checked the settings for each question was compatible with other questions in the quiz, changing the question names. Nothing worked till I removed the apostrophe in the category name.
This only occurred when adding a random question using the Add button. It did not happen when adding a specific question to a quiz.

Hi Paul,
I confirm the bug in Moodle 1.7.1+
Solution: In file moodle/mod/quiz/edit.php, towards line 185, replace:
$form->name = get_string('random', 'quiz') .' ('. $category->name .')';
with
$form->name = get_string('random', 'quiz') .' ('. addslashes($category->name) .')';
Tested, it works. If the bug is confirmed (and my solution works) maybe Howard could you add a bug report for it? thanks
Joseph
