The file response question type can also work with 1.8 with some modifications. I have attached a zip file that contains a patch for 1.8.2+ and a README explaining how to patch. I have verified that the patch will work with clean versions of 1.8.2 and 1.8.2+. It may also work with older versions of 1.8, but I haven't tried it out.

I have checked that the question type works properly in 1.8.2 and 1.8.2+, but I have not tested it particularly thoroughly, so let me know if you run into any problems. (Again, backups are not going to work at this point.)

Thank you, I like the file response question very much.

Adriane Boyd > Backups aren't working at this point, but will be updated when 1.9 is released.

Is there any news on backups? I hope that backups will be implemented because without backups the file response questions is not very practice.

Yes, I am interested in adding a self-evaluation option to the file response question. For this type of question, the student solves a problem and submits the solution as a file and/or an essay. The student then specifies to what degree he/she solved the problem by choosing a value from a list: 100%, 90%. 80%, etc. The percentage selected by the student determines the self-grade which can later be overridden by the instructor. I think this question can be called "honor submission question".

I would love to use honor submission questions (i.e., file submission questions enhanced with a self evaluation from percentage list). Does anybody have comments on how difficult is it to implement them, with backup?

Hi, I'm having trouble getting this plugin to work. I couldn't find where to unzip it in any documentation so I unzipped it into \questions\type. It appears in my question types dropdown for add new question. However, when I try to add a question of this type to a quiz, I get the error "Could not insert quiz fileresponse options!".
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I am using WinXP, Apache, PHP all latest versions, and Moodle 1.9.2.
Thank you,
James.
