Christopher,

The [Submit] button is appearing in each question because you have set 'Adaptive mode' to yes.

If you keep the Adaptive mode on (set to 'Yes') you can penalize students that keep on clicking on the [Submit] button by setting "Apply penalties" to 'Yes'.

If you do not want the [Submit] button to appear, Upadate the quiz and change the Adapative mode setting to 'No'.

Hello Tim and other Quiz activity users,

Although this bug was reported to have been fixed (MDL-10581), unfortunately it seems seems to have reared its ugly face again.

The problem is:

• A quiz is made:
• "Each attempt builds on the last" is set to 'Yes'
• "Grading method" is set to 'Highest grade"
• The 8 questions in the quiz each have their own page.
• When students do the quiz the first time their attempt is graded as expected.
• However, on subsequent events their grade is only for questions successfully done in that attempt. Their running total is not recorded.
  
  • This does not happen if all the questions are set to load on one page; grades for subsequent attempts are the running total (cumulative total).
    

What should be happening:

• Attempt 1: a student gets 4 out of 8 correct
  
• Attempt 2: a student answers 2 more questions correctly, so they should get a total of 6 out of 8.

What is happening:

• Attempt 1: a student gets 4 out of 8 correct
  
• Attempt 2: a student answers 2 more questions correctly, but instead of their running total he only gets 2 points.

This bug was found on my moodle 1.8.2 system downloaded from CVS in early October, and experienced today on http://demo.moodle.org/ (moodle 1.8.3)

Has any one else experienced this bug recently?

Tim,

Thank you for your reply. I look forward to the fix, and am sorry that I'm unable to help with the recoding. However, as soon as you announce a solution I'll test it.

For the record, and you're probably aware of this already, I have posted this issue to Moodle Tracker: MDL-10581.

Having investigated this a little more, it appears this 'bug' is caused by setting the number 'Questions per page' to anything less than 'unlimited', and setting 'Each attempt builds on the last' to 'Yes'.

Here's an example of what happens:

• There are 10 questions in a quiz.
• 'Each attempt builds on the last' is set to 'Yes'
• The number 'Questions per page' is limited to 2.
• In the first attempt a student answers the first 6 questions on the first 3 pages correctly, but does not answer there last 4 questions, and so gets 6 out of 10.
• In the second attempt, her first attempt choices are displayed, so there is no need for her to answer these questions again.
• The student goes to the last 2 pages that she did not answer - the 4 remaining questions.
• She chooses the 4 correct answers.
• She SHOULD then get 10 out of 10 (6 for her first attempt + 4 for her second attempt).
• However, as things stand at the moment, she only gets 4 out of 10.

I have experienced this bug both on my own moodle system, and have reproduced the problem in the http://demo.moodle.org/ site.

This bug can be reproduced regardless of the scoring method or other settings. The common denominator appears to be if the 'Questions per page' limit is set to anything less than 'unlimited', and 'Each attempt builds on the last' is set to 'Yes'.

Hello,

Since updating my Moodle system via CVS last Monday (the 24th September) I and students have been able unable to upload files to Wikis - the default Wiki that comes with Moodle, not NWiki, DFWikii etc.

When trying to the upload a file via the upload dialogue box below the HTML editor a new tab opens, but with no information about the file I wanted to upload. Normally, a text would appear which I'd copy into the editor to create a link to that uploaded file.

When I try to upload a file via the attachments tab I get a the following 'error message' in the attachments page:

uplrejsect

This happens with all browsers and file types.

This has been reported before: click to see previous related messages.

It has also been reported in the Moodle tracker (MDL-6144), but at the moment there is this rather unhopeful comment: "we are not planning any non-security fixes for the old wiki - waiting for the new one "

I do hope that this can be fixed soon, as it renders the Wiki module rather 'un-useful'.
