  Hi
  I have just raised a Ticket with Turnitin. We have several different Moodle sites, all running 3.3.5+ (Build: 20180515). We use Turnitin via Assignment. We cannot attach a rubric to an assignment on the site running Turnitin2 2018052301. It works perfectly on sites running 2018031201. This seems to be a significant bug. Has anyone else experienced issues with the latest release of this plugin?

  Hi Abrar, the plagiarism plugin and block have a dependency on it so you won't be able to uninstall it while they are installed.
  
  Hi Iñigo, this has been fixed and an updated version released.
  
  Hi Cathal, we've released a new version since your question. Did this solve it?
  
  Hi Ken, we're aware of this and will get it fixed.

  Thanks John. Is there a timescale for this fix? Do you have advice on rolling back to the earlier version of the plugin?

  A couple of people have been asking me whether this issue is now fixed. I have had no update on the ticket I raised with Turnitin since the 12th July apart from John's comment above. I have users wanting to create assignments who are unable to do so. If anyone else has had the same issue and managed to roll back to an earlier version please could you let me know? I am reluctant to try it without advice from Turnitin.

  Hi Ken, we are planning to do a small release of PP by the end of the month and I am doing my best to have this included in the release.
  
  I wouldn't advise attempting a roll back as Moodle does not have a downgrade process. Uninstalling the plugin and installing an older version would cause data loss for existing Turnitin data in the plugin.

  Hi David, Thanks for the update. Can I stress that having these rubrics available is critical to our use of Moodle, and if the fix is not made this month we will be in a very difficult situation starting the new academic year.
  Can you offer an explanation as to know how an error such as this could slip through your testing when releasing new versions of the plugin?

  Hey Ken,
  Thank you for getting in touch. I'd firstly like to apologise for the inconvenience this has caused.
  We will be starting work on this fix as soon as we can with the view to releasing at the end of the month. We do have automations which covers this functionality, however it seems that an additional check is needed to ensure that the rubric is saved and attached. The work that we do in the upcoming weeks will also include adding additional test coverage to ensure this wont be an issue moving forward.
  Many thanks

  Thanks Caroline
  I have been looking for a workaround but without success. I have found that if I add a rubric via a direct login to turnitinuk.com, this rubric gets deleted when I try to connect from Moodle. Please can you confirm that if someone uses the new plugin to look at previously marked work, there is no possibility that the rubric (and all comments) will be deleted? It does not appear to be happening with a test assignment I set up a couple of years ago, but obviously I have been reluctant to test on a recent live assignment.

  Hi there, we have Moodle v3.1.1 and using Turnitin Tool two plugin v2.6. While trying to upload a submission paper, it throws a 504 gateway time out error at times (no matter how small the file size). Is there a known bug for this OR any maintenance that goes on causing this that can be tracked on official Turnitin page to cause this?
  The URL throwing 504 timeout error is https://mysite.com/mod/turnitintooltwo/view.php?id=xxxx&do=submitpaper&view_context=box_solid

  This update (2018102601) completely breaks Turnitin functionality for users using the latest version of plagiarism_turnitin (2018082802) - specifically the ability for users to accept Turnitin's EULA - because the name of one of the jquery files located under /turnitintooltwo/jquery no longer matches the file requested by the plagiarism plugin. The plagiarism plugin is requesting turnitintooltwo-2018082301.min.js, but that file's title has been updated to turnitintooltwo-2018102601.min.js. Please fix this.

  Is there going to be a Moodle 3.7 version forthcoming or should we switch to LTI?

  Hello!
  Is it possible to run this plugin on moodle with one turnitin shared key and then the older version with other shared key. (https://moodle.org/plugins/plagiarism_turnitin)
  
  Thanks!

  Hi Alan. Are you referring to using turnitintooltwo with one turnitin account and shared key, and plagiarism plugin with another? Yes this is possible, as they are two separate plugins.

  Hi Charlotte!
  Thanks for your quick response, yes this is exactly what I was referring to. That is excellent news!
  
  Many Thanks!
