Hi Justin

Yes, local_invitation suits perfectly. Many thanks for the hint!

@others

The plug-in has a whole lot of features. The way we configured, we display the link and the alternative QR code on the homepage. Once a visitor enters that he is presented with the a simple form. (See screenshots) Once that is through he is logged in to the course where the competition is. As explained in the OP, the visitor will enter his name and contact as answers to (0 mark) questions.

Looking back, I must say that the simple, inofficial authentication plug-in onlineconfirm would have been sufficient. But we can time the validity period in local_invitation. But the read goodie is the QR code, that'll allow young kids too to take part in mobile devices.

Anyway, problem SOLVED.

Hi Tim

I came to the same conclusion: You don't want the cousin helping in the exam to open a different attempt!

If it is a feature, it could also be disabled, right?

Just joking. We have plenty of options. Will report back.

PHP fatal errors are thrown at a lower level than the PHP code, is at the interface between PHP and the OS. How exactly do you upgrade - following https://docs.moodle.org/403/en/Upgrading ? I ask because the upgrade script goes through a set of self-checks. If both scripts went "all green" two places come to my mind: PHP and system interactions what you find under yoursite/admin/settings.php?section=systempaths or the provider has touched some PHP setting like open_basedir or disabled PHP exec(). This is a subject for your hosting service.

I assume you've eliminated the obvious like copying new source over the old or not purging all server caches.

Is that message all you get Debugging set to maximum?
