Change of plans... I'll keep the questiontext field but use it for Description/Introduction for my questions.
And under it I'll add a "gaps" text field for entering the words to be guessed. At the moment I don't know how to save the contents of that field in my edit form. I'll keep trying.
In my question edit form I have put this:
$mform->removeelement('questiontext'); $mform->addElement('text', 'questiontext', 'questiontext',
array('size' => 50, 'maxlength' => 255));$mform->setType('questiontext', PARAM_TEXT);$mform->addRule('questiontext', null, 'required', null, 'client');
but I'm getting "Default exception handler: Exception - htmlspecialchars(): Argument #1 ($string) must be of type string, array given" traced back to "line 385 of \question\bank\editquestion\question.php: call to question_type->display_question_editing_page()"
Title says it all. In the new guessit q_type I am developing, I do not need/want my question text to use a complex editor. I only want to use a plain text field. How do I do that?
I've tried adding $this->editoroptions['format'] = FORMAT_PLAIN; but does not work.
