MooTyper
BEFORE YOU UPGRADE NOTE! A previous version of MooTyper changed the lesson file layout! Depending on your version, after your upgrade, an admin may need to click on the Edit gear icon and select, Import lesson / KB layout. Depending on the speed of your server, this can take a while.
In the past, if you have created any lesson files of your own, you may need to modify them to be compatible with the new Lesson file format in this MooTyper version. Comparison with a file from this version will show you that each exercise is followed by the exercise name using the same sequence of keystrokes, /**/, as a delimiter.
MooTyper is an Activity module. A course admin, manager, or teacher creates the activity and prepares it for use by selecting the keyboard layout and lessons to use. It can be set up to present a series of exercises from a lesson or to present one selected exercise from a lesson as a typing exam. Once set up, students can then start to type the current exercise. When a student finishes an exercise his achievement is saved into a database, so the teacher can then view grades.
Numerous keyboard layouts are available in MooTyper. If you do not see what you need, ask me, and I will see what I can do about developing it: Arabic, Armenian, Belgium(Dutch), Bulgarian, Croation, Czech, Danish, Dvorak(US), English (UK), English(US), EnglishWKeypad(USV6), Estonian, French, FrenchWKeypad(FRV6), German(Swiss), German, GermanWKeypad(V6), Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Icelandic, Italian, Norwegian, numberKeypadOnly, Portuguese(Brazil), Portuguese(Portugal), PortugueseWKeypad(PortugalV6), Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovenian, Spanish, SpanishWKeypad(V6), Swedish, Telugu, Thai, Turkish, Turkmen, Ukrainian, Uyghur, and Vietnamese.
You can visit the website URL listed down below, create an account, and try any of the listed layouts. If there is a layout not listed, that you would be interested in trying, please make a request in the comments below, or at the github Source control URL location.
For this MooTyper release, immediately after you upgrade, you may need to go to one of your MooTyper activities and in it's Administration block, click on, Import lesson / KB layout, so you will get versions of all the new keyboard layouts and lessons. Depending on how you do the upgrade, your old keyboard files may be erased. In that case you will get an error that can be cleared by going to Setup for each MooTyper, and select a keyboard layout to use. Old keyboard versions are not necessarily compatible with the styles.css file included in this version. In some cases, this version includes multiple layouts.

MooTyper is a quite nice Tool. But I'm abit struggeling, because I want to distribute ready made Lessons for german available for all user.
In our Bundesland/Federate Country Rhineland-Palatinate we have a common moodle installation but with different instances. Our admin is not sure how to get the lessons to all of the users and we did not find detailed informations.
As far as I understood the informations at the plugin-page the plugin gets the file for lessons and keyboards by the server or installations-file!?
My ideas is and hence the question, if I can send you the lessons and you can add it to the official collection of lessons?
Best regards, Birgit Lachner
I am always happy to hear from users of MooTyper. Yes, if you send me the file, I will be happy to include the German Lessons in the next MooTyper release. drachels at drachels dot com Next release should be sometime in the next couple of weeks as I am currently testing it with the new Moodle 3.10 code, to make sure everything is going to work okay.
By the way, which keyboard layout are you using? Would you be interested in one that has the number keypad on the right side, like the EnglishWKeypad(USV6)? If you are interested let me know and I will try to get it done in the next day or two.
What version of MooTyper are you using, which PHP version, and what database type? Ned to know so I can try to duplicate.
I'm getting the below error when I click on setup :
Debug info: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1

This plugin was running fine all the while. I'm facing this issue when I tried to translate my own lesson in this plugin. I deleted the lesson and even tried to uninstall and deleted the database, yet the same issue persists when I reinstall the plugin.
Anyone else faced the same issue?
For me to possibly be able to help, I need to know your MooTyper version, your Moodle version, your php version and your database type and version.
MooTyper version
I was using 3.9.1+ (Build: 2020070801), then when I had this error, I tried to uninstall, delete from DB, and re-install version 3.9.6 (Build: 2021032000), yet the error still persists.
Moodle version - 3.9
PHP version - 7.4.13
Database type and version - mySQL / 5.5.3
mdl_mootyper
mdl_mootyper_attempts
mdl_mootyper_checks
mdl_mootyper_exercises
mdl_mootyper_grades
mdl_mootyper_layouts
mdl_mootyper_lessons
When you tried to translate you own lesson, were you doing it in the MooTyper built in lesson editor? Or, were you using an external text editor, such as Notepad++?
I manage to sort it out by deleting all the tables and re-installing the plugin.
We are using moodle 3.0 version
The server environment is
Linux,
