Tim > ... while the student is entering their answer, there is a word count shown on-screen, that changes to a red warning when they go over the specified limit... and also, the word count is shown to the teacher when marking...

Totally agree with your point of view, Tim. Are there not already existing such "word counting" devices which might be integrated into Moodle?

Jeff > I copied and pasted the screen above, but it didn't display properly. Is there a special way to copy and paste screen shots?

For screen capture I recommend the excellent SnagIt software from TechSmith. For uploading a screen shot to the Moodle forums you simpy attach it (Attachment optional just below of HTML editor). There is a limit of 100k to the size of such attachments.

Hi Paul,

I confirm the bug in Moodle 1.7.1+

Solution: In file moodle/mod/quiz/edit.php, towards line 185, replace:

$form->name = get_string('random', 'quiz') .' ('. $category->name .')';

with

$form->name = get_string('random', 'quiz') .' ('. addslashes($category->name) .')';

Tested, it works. If the bug is confirmed (and my solution works) maybe Howard could you add a bug report for it? thanks

Joseph
