In have created a an activity "Choices". It does not shows the choices (radio button). I donot know why. I have 1.9 version of moodle installed on Linux machine. Can anyonme please help cuz our course has been started already. I am also attaching a screen caputure for your reference.
It may be MDL-13812 ("Choice not working when using limits"), which will be fixed in 1.9.1
Thanks John 
It was fixed a couple of days after Moodle 1.9 was released - please upgrade to the latest 1.9 stable.
thanks,
Dan

Thanks Dan. I am now upgrading my Moodle installation from 1.9 to 1.9 Stable.
really appreciate you help.
Khurram,
Did the upgrade resolve this issue. I'm having the same problem following upgrading to 1.9 from 1.8.4. All choice activities work before but only some did not work after. I have very carefully checked to see that settings on all were consistent and consequently am concerned to know that the upgrade is the answer. I'm also concerned that my host provider uses Fantastico to support upgrades and is not currently offering Moodle 1.9.1

Hi John,
this was fixed in MDL-13812
If you don't want to upgrade, you can apply the fix yourself - as per the comments in the bug linked above:
find this in mod\choice\lib.php in function choice_show_form()
if (isset($text) && isset($allresponses[$optionid])) { //make sure there are no dud entries in the db with blank text values.
replace with this:
if (isset($text)) { //make sure there are no dud entries in the db with blank text values.
thanks,
Dan

Dan,
Thanks for your advice on this. I'm not a coder so perhaps you'll forgive appearances of lameness :|
This is what I find in my version of lib.php:
function choice_show_form($choice, $user, $cm) {
//$cdisplay is an array of the display info for a choice $cdisplay[$optionid]->text - text name of option.
// ->maxanswers -maxanswers for this option
// ->full - whether this option is full or not. 0=not full, 1=full
$cdisplay = array();
$aid = 0;
foreach ($choice->option as $optionid => $text) {
if (isset($text)) { //make sure there are no dud entries in the db with blank text values.
It appears that my version has the modification you are suggesting. Am I missing something?
Many thanks for your kind attention.

Hi John,
maybe your issue is different to the one explained above?
can you please explain your problem, and detail what settings are set in your choice?

I have 37 choice questions deployed in one of my courses. Prior to upgrading they were functioning as intended. After upgrade some but not all of the choices would not display. An example is the following:
The settings for this activity are as follows:
Limit: Disable
Choice 1
Choice: All of the time
Limit: 0
Choice 2
Choice: Most of the time
Limit: 0
Choice 3
Choice: Some of the time
Limit: 0
Choice 4
Choice: Never
Limit: 0
Restrict answering to this time period: not checked
Miscellaneous Settings
Display Mode: Display horizontally
Publish results: do not publish results to students
Privacy of results: Publish anonymous results, do not show student names
Allow choice to be updated: No
Show column for unanswered: No
Group Mode: Separate Groups
Visible: Show
ID number: Blank
Settings on all choices are consistent with this example
BTW, I would be happy to create an admin account for you so that you could take a look at the site, if you would be so kind.
Thanks again for your kind attention to this. Again, let me say that all choices were functioning before upgrade.

Hi John,
what do you mean "choice does not display" - could you provide a screenshot to show us what you mean? - also who is logged in when the "choice doesn't display"? - is it a student? - is that student in a group?
thanks,
Dan

We had an issue where the options for choice did not display for admin, teacher and student when completing questionaire. See attached.
We applied the fix :
find this in mod\choice\lib.php in function choice_show_form()
if (isset($text) && isset($allresponses[$optionid])) { //make sure there are no dud entries in the db with blank text values.
replace with this:
if (isset($text)) { //make sure there are no dud entries in the db with blank text values.
issue is resolved.
Thanks!
Michael
thanks Michael,
I worked on the issue with John offline - he had a corrupted site due to a partial restore/partial upgrade failure..
The "Best" fix for this issue is to upgrade to the latest Moodle 1.9.1 - there were a couple of other issues with the choice module that were fixed and 375 bug fixes in total since Moodle 1.9 - see here:
