With the new questions bank system, a normal teacher no longer sees the link to Questions in the Administration block of her courses! The only way to access the questions bank is to create a (bogus) Quiz first... Not very user-friendly. Maybe this a roles/capability problem?

Hi, just started testing the new questions bank system. When I click on the Categories tab in order to edit catetories or add a new one, in Add category, there is a dropdown list of existing categories which is "called" Parent. I am finding it strange that the default category name which appears in that list is the first name of the alphabetically ordered list of categories within my course. This is not really intuitive, and I would prefer that dropdown list to default either to Top (if when I clicked on the Category Tab I was inside the Default category) or to the category in which I was when I clicked that tab. This is related to MDL-10776.

OK, with the recent changes to the question bank and category handling made by Jamie Pratt, my problem has disappeared. All is fine now using version 1.9 DEV 2007081001.

Hi Jack,

This feature is requested from time to time. I personally think it is quite needed, especially on forums with a very large number of postings as the moodle.org forums. However, every time it is requested some moodlers object that it goes against the "community spirit" or whatever. See for example this discussion.

The "rule of the thumb" in open source software such as Moodle is: if the number of people who request a feature outweighs the number of people against it, then it gets a better chance to be implemented. Plus, of course, someone has to do the programing.

EDIT.- This discussion should really be moved to the Forum module forum.
