WirisQuizzes improves the following Moodle question types: True/False, multiple-choice, Matching, Short-answer, Essay, and Embedded answers (Cloze). With very little effort, you can create sophisticated and random math questions. On the side of the student, they will be able to introduce his answers by using a WYSIWYG formula editor. The answer syntax check will prevent the students from making unnecessary errors and misspellings.
All mathematical items are generated in a single calculation section, and they can be referenced from anywhere in the content, question wording, answer, feedback for the student, etc.
WIRIS tools can be used for free up to a certain level of use per natural year. Please read the WirisQuizzes subscription conditions and prices or contact sales@wiris.com for more information.

So, I finally managed to test and review all the submitted question types from this set. Firstly, big thanks for your patience with the approval review that took really long this time.
Secondly, and more importantly. As a former maths teacher I am happy to say - well done on these WIRIS plugins. With them, a suite of powerful tools comes to the Moodle world and I am sure this will make many moodlers happy. It is obvious that such complex plugins like these are will have certain requirements, for example the need for the Java support in the browser. It is not a problem, as long as these things will be clearly communicated with the users in this Plugins directory (by clear explanation in the plugins descriptions).
I like your tutorial-like documentation pages for particular question types on your site and they helped me a lot during the testing. I was thinking that at least part of those pages could actually be copied over here to the plugins' description fields to give even better examples of how powerful your plugins are.
With regards to the code itself, I like that the WIRIS question types make use of the class inheritance and re-use as much of the original types as possible. There are some non-blocking formal issues that would be nice to have fixed, such as compliance with the Moodle coding style. Some potential users of your plugins may take all these little issues into account when evaluating your plugins.
Issues detected during the code review were reported to your bug trackers and were promptly replied to from your side. Thanks for that. None of them is a real blocker and I am sure that you will same promptly address all eventual issues raised by other users from the Moodle community. So I am happy to go and approve the submitted plugins here now.
You are cleared to land, welcome to the plugins directory!
We are very glad you like WIRIS Quizzes.
Thank you very much for your extensive feedback! It has been very helpful for us. Feedback like yours greatly improves our code.
In the next days we will update the documentation including the tutorial for each question type and the requirements specially the Java support in the browser.
Regarding Java browser support: during this year we will migrate our interface from Java to Javascript. You can test our new interface here: https://calcme.com/a

Am I missing a setting to enable these plugins for mobile?
Thanks for any help

Thank you in advance!
Here are some error messages:
uncaught exception: Call to a member function release() on bool
in file: /usr/home/sonreme/moodle/question/type/wq/classes/moodleprovider.class.php line 56
and some other lines...
The fix has been included in the next version of the tool, WirisQuizzes 4.5.2, to be deployed this week.
Do not hesitate to contact our Technical Support Team at support@wiris.com if you need further assistance.
In previous versions a feeback saying "Mark 1.0 out of 1.0" was shown when the quiz was configured as "Interactive with multiple tries".
Is this a dropped feature or a bug in current version or in our site?
When trying to add a question from the Wiris Quizzes package. I get the following error in the console.
[Deprecation]Listener added for a synchronous 'DOMNodeInserted' DOM Mutation Event. This event type is deprecated () and work is underway to remove it from this browser. Usage of this event listener will cause performance issues today, and represents a risk of future incompatibility. Consider using MutationObserver instead.
It seems to come from the WIRIS service itself.
Thank you for being so patient, and please do not hesitate to contact us again if you have any other questions.
