Howard,
Have you seen this post? Someone submitted some qml files
http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=67429&parent=332772
One of the people at our site is trying to import qml into moodle. She's going to take a look at what you've done so far and will hopefully be able to give you some feedback and qml files so that you can continue to work on the plugin.
Thanks!
Dear Howard,
Do you have a minute yet 
We seriously need to get QMP questions to Moodle. I don't care which format: Qpack, QML, XML, IMS-QTI 2.0, whatever it takes.
We have about 10.000 questions that need to be imported.
Well, I'm trying to find out some stuff now. I already fixed an error in the QMP importer.
But now I'm stuck.. perhaps anyone can help:

</QUESTION>
This will not be converted because the importer doesn't understand the condition 'OTHER' every other answer:
// run through outcomes
$outcomes = $question['#']['OUTCOME'];
foreach ($outcomes as $outcome) {
$condition = $outcome['#']['CONDITION'][0]['#'];
$id = intval( trim($condition,'"' ));
$qo->fraction[$id] = $outcome['@']['SCORE'] / 10;
$qo->feedback[$id] = $this->import_text($outcome['#']['CONTENT'][0]['#']);
}
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I will, don't worry. This will take some time but the summer holiday will be here soon and I have the time to sink my teeth in this problem.
I know we need an if statement in there. It needs something like:
if ($condition == 'OTHER') {
$id = $choice['@']['ID']; }
ELSE {
$id = intval( trim($condition,'"' ));
}
But I'm not a php-programmer by far. I know what it need to do (Set all ID's feedback if condition is OTHER) but I have no clue as to how translate this into PHP.
If you could point any PHP programmer to this topic I'd be very happy!
I can't get it done... seems I really need someone who knows PHP here. I got to this part:
// run through outcomes
$outcomes = $question['#']['OUTCOME'];
$teller == 0;
$condition = $outcome['#']['CONDITION'][0]['#'];
print $condition;
if ($condition == 'OTHER') {
$id == $teller;
$qo->fraction[$teller] = $outcome['@']['SCORE'] / 10;
$qo->feedback[$teller] = $this->import_text($outcome['#']['CONTENT'][0]['#']);
} else {
$id = intval( trim($condition,'"' ));
$qo->fraction[$id] = $outcome['@']['SCORE'] / 10;
$qo->feedback[$id] = $this->import_text($outcome['#']['CONTENT'][0]['#']);
}
$teller++;
But this doesn't work, because it will find only one time 'OTHER' and I need to put the feedback + answers found in the 'OTHER' condition in all not-creect answers.
This any better? Stil not working though:
// run through the answers - choice bit
$teller == 0;
$choices = $question['#']['ANSWER'][0]['#']['CHOICE'];
foreach ($choices as $choice) {
$id = $choice['@']['ID'];
$qo->answer[$id] = $this->import_text($choice['#']['CONTENT'][0]['#']);
$teller++;
}
// run through outcomes
$outcomes = $question['#']['OUTCOME'];
$i == 0;
print_r($outcomes);
while($i<=$teller) {
$condition = $outcome['#']['CONDITION'][0]['#'];
if ($condition == 'OTHER') {
$id == $i;
$qo->fraction[$id] = $outcome['@']['SCORE'] / 10;
$qo->feedback[$id] = $this->import_text($outcome['#']['CONTENT'][0]['#']);
} else {
$id = intval( trim($condition,'"' ));
$qo->fraction[$id] = $outcome['@']['SCORE'] / 10;
$qo->feedback[$id] = $this->import_text($outcome['#']['CONTENT'][0]['#']);
}
$i++;
}
Excellent Tim, this seems to work well. Do you feel up to another php challenge?
I think together with someone that knows PHP we will get a great Questionmark Perception importer out of this.
I can report problems accurately and can tell what goes wrong with several questions. The PHP programmer can try to fix it.
Next thing that goes wrong is this:

The problem with this PHP routine is that it will only read the last content tag.
// process content tags
$contents = $question['#']['CONTENT'];
foreach ($contents as $content) {
$type = trim($content['@']['TYPE']);
$data = trim($content['#']);
if ($type=="image/") {
$qo->image = $data;
}
elseif ($type=="text/plain") {
$qo->questiontext = addslashes($data);
$qo->questiontextformat = 2; // plain_text
}
elseif ($type=="text/html") {
$qo->questiontext = addslashes($data);
$qo->questiontextformat = 1; // html
}
else {
$this->error( "Unknown content type in question header ($type)" );
$qo->questiontext = '';
}
}
The PHP routine only inserts the last CONTENT-tag as questiontext, but it should parse all CONTENT tags.
Any idea how to translate that to PHP?
Also, it would be great if this: %SERVER.GRAPHICS% would be removed.
