Approval issue created: CONTRIB-9862

Hello Vinit. Great to see that this type of tool is once again available A quick question about setup. Can we choose the general type of module, for example Quiz and it will stop students from copying and pasting in all quizzes on our site? Or, do we have to list each specific Quiz or assignment? Let me know. Much Thanks - Laurie

Hi Laurie - Thanks for message.
Plugin matches page URL, i.e. if we have configured with /mod/quiz - it means, this will stop copy/paste/rightclick on all quiz pages

For this ref -

It will prevent all Moodle resource pages, Modules quiz and lesson. I hope this is helpful. Kindly message if any more details are required.

Hi Vinit. Thanks for the information. Further to this, I am able to stop students from copying information from my site, however, I am not able to stop them from pasting answers from other sites such as AI into our response boxes and assignments. Is there a way to stop students from copying text into our quizzes and assignments? Thanks. Laurie

Hello Laurie - This is fixed in new release. Please deploy latest code. With this release, it will not allow to copy/paste In Moodle Response Box (TinyMCE Editor). Please update latest Moodle and it should work. If there are any issues, don't hesitate raise bug or add comment here.

We have just started using the plugin on our central Moodle portal. We have enabled it exclusively for the quiz module so that students cannot copy questions into the AI or copy answers back into the quiz.
Unfortunately, this is causing problems for some instructors because their tests are structured in a way that requires the copy/paste function. (e.g., they need to copy the data provided in the test questions into Excel)
The solution would be to be able to disable the protection for specific courses. Is there a solution for this?
I know that when enabling protection, you can specify a course, but out of nearly 20,000 courses, we would like to suspend protection in only a few dozen cases.

Thanks for reporting this issue.

Currently, it is based on URL. I have already planned this in next release. Give me 1-2 weeks. I will release new code.

Implementation will be based on

Course Id
Module specific
Quiz: Course Module Id
Assignment: Course Module Id
Forum: Course Module id.

Will release new code shortly.

Thank you.

Thank you, this is a very good news.
Thank you for this very useful plugin!

Updated new release - https://moodle.org/plugins/local_preventcopy/versions

Thanks for the new release! I see there are several new configuration options.
I have a question regarding the original issue. Can I create exceptions? For example: I want to protect all courses on the portal (~20,000 courses), except for 10 specific courses. (Of course, I don’t want to list 19,990 course IDs.)
TIA

Hi, I just installed the latest version, but the screen for inserting the page list shown above isn't anywhere to be found.
The settings menu is very different.

Hi Luca!
The settings interface has indeed changed, but the plugin is working fine. For example: If you previously had /mod/quiz listed among your conditions, now just put an asterisk in the Quiz field.

Hi,
i try it and it is not working on Tiny MCE editor. Can you help me to work it?
