Last June our university upgraded from 1.6 to 1.8. It went well, except that access to the front page is really slow.

Anyway, we just noticed that things have been scrambled in our questions bank. The name and question text of one question has now replaced the name and question text of all questions (about 3000 questions altogether). And also the <parent> field of all questions is the same number (4105), which is meaningless.

As a consequence, no question whatsoever is visible in any course and in existing quizzes, the questions are displayed with that same question text, which makes them useless.

Another curious side effect is that, when a teacher wants to do a backup of their course (and e.g. only back up their quizzes), the whole lot of 3,000 "mangled" questions are exported in the backup!

We do have a copy of the whole moodle database prior to upgrading to 1.8. Can anyone sugggest how we might use a mySql command to only restore the questions tables, without messing up anything else? Since this is just before the new academic year, it does not matter at all that questions and quizzes attempts are reset to none, but it would be nice if we could at least get back those 3,000 questions.

On the other hand, careful teachers who had made a course backup in June can restore their own questions & quizzes and it works fine, but not everyone has done backups...

Any suggestions welcome,

Joseph

Hello,

Using Moodle 1.8.2, I have reset a course, with all boxes checked (except teacher, of course).

The students and the forum discussions are deleted, but I am getting this error message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function groups_remove_all_group_members() in /.../MOODLE_18_STABLE/lib/moodlelib.php on line 3205

All the forum discussions have been deleted, but on the Forums Activity page the number of discussions have not been reset to zero (see attached screen shot). Why is that?

Bonjour,

Quelle version de Moodle? Pour moi ça marche.

Tu crées la liste numérotée en utilisant le bouton Ordered list (123) de l'éditeur HTML ou bien tu la crées dans un autre logiciel et tu fais du copier-coller?

En tout cas voici le code HTML que j'obtiens dans l'éditeur HTML d'une étiquette, et le résultat attaché en copie d'écran.

<p>Ma liste numérotée:</p>
<ol>
 <li>un</li>
 <li>deux</li>
 <li>trois<br /></li>
</ol>

Hi William,

I am not sure I understand what a "graded survey" is. You either need a survey (and in that case I would recommend installing either the Feedback or the Questionnaire 3rd party moodle plugins) or a Quiz, but you won't get an N/A option to work in a MCQ questions quiz the way you want.
