The zipped latest versions are only available once a day, so my latest fix will be available sometime tomorrow. However, you can it just the fixed file by clicking on the link in my message above.

Janet,
My fix works well on my 1.9 moodle local site. Do you have a live site where you could give me temporary access so I could test it? (e-mail me to the e-mail address in my profile page).
Are you sure you have downloaded the locallib.php fixed file.
It's first line is:

php 

Bug fixed in CONTRIB-884. Thanks for reporting.

Hi Peter,

To solve your problem you might consider installing the REGEXP question plugin. For instance, the following code in your Cloze question will work as shown on screenshot below.

Type the German equivalent of these English words (mind the capitalization)!
good = {:REGEXP:=gut#OK~Gut#wrong: do not use a capital letter please!}
estate = {:REGEXP:=Gut#OK~gut#wrong: use a capital letter please!}

Martín > In moodle, however, you have 30 minutes to edit your post so you can hit post, and 5 minutes later go "hmmm, maybe that was a bit too much", come back and edit it before it's sent. etc.

Quite right. You may be interested to hear that I have a special "didactic" use for that 30 min. delay. In my English language classes on moodle I have gradually built a fairly large "Glossary database" of common mistakes made by my students. When they write and post a message to the course forum, I advise them to re-read their message carefully and to scan it for any hyperlinked words to the Grammar/Vocabulary glossaries. Whenever they spot a mistake, the Glossary popup window gives an explanation, and they can edit their message and correct their mistake within the 30 min. delay.

How do I add words/expressions to the Grammar & Vocabulary? Let's take for instance the infamous "I am agree" mistake (based on the French syntax of the equivalent expression). In my Grammar glossary I have created an entry for "I agree", and within that entry, have added "I am agree", "I'm agree", etc. as Keywords, so any of those mistakes in a forum message is automatically hyperlinked to the "I agree" entry...
