Hi,

I have set up a CRON job in the footer of my theme and it works fine, except that I usually get this log feedback error which I do not understand at all.

I expect TIME TAKEN's two columns mean : start time ... finish time. How on earth can I have a finish time before a start time.

Thanks in advance,

Joseph

Hi Gordon!

I'm using Moodle 1.6.2+ with Hot Potatoes version v 1.34.2.5 2006/09/13 08:26:16

In the Moodle Quiz module, when students have been unrolled from a course, it is still possible to view their attempts. See this discussion. It is then possible to delete the attempts made by unenrolled students (e.g. when emptying a course of students before enrolling new ones at the beginning of a new academic year).

However, the HP module behaves differently.

When students have made attempts in HP exercices in a Moodle course and are un-enrolled, this is what happens:

• it is not possible to view the attempts made by un-enrolled students
  
• although their attempts are still present in the database
• it is not possible to delete those attempts once the students have been unrolled

Could you please think of a solution (something similar to the Quiz solution, for the sake of similarity of interfact)?

Thanks in advance,

Joseph

Some Moodle 3rd-party themes have been developed with a 2-column layout with a middle-column for Topics and a right-column for blocks. Orangechoc, Kubrick, Imagine...

Unfortunately, the new admin menu in 1.7 imposes a left-column for blocks. To make this new feature compatible with the layout of 2-column (middle + right) themes, we would need the restoration of the right column in the new admin menu AND of course the restoration of the right arrow icon to move the block to the right in edit mode!

Just tried to update my local install of 1.7dev. But tortoise CVS comes to a halt with this message:

Hi Tim, what's up?

Joseph

In current versions of Moodle, feedback displayed in the little feedback popup window in the Cloze-type questions is strictly limited to text. There is also a problem with displaying quotes, e.g. a feedback message such as Yes, this comes from the Greek word "pyros", for fire. will simply not show up at all in the popup window.

I am suggesting the following hack, which makes it possible to display in the feedback window:

• a) all kind of HTML formatting: images, colors, fonts, etc.
• b) double quotes, single quotes and apostrophes are all changed to their smart quotes equivalent, to avoid crashes.

If you want to try out the hack on a test installation, see bug report #MDL-6377.

If you want to see exactly what it looks like, go to my Moodle test site, log into Course 101 as user  moodler, password moodler, go to Sample quizzes -> Quiz What is Moodle? - Cloze.

Hope that helps,

Joseph
