This plugin contains support for importing and exporting of multichoice( 4 choices ) questions having one or two answers from CSV format into the question bank.

Now, There can be two types of CSV files that can be used : ( Simple CSV and Extended CSV ) 
Only difference between Simple and Extended CSV files is, number of fields/columns 

1. Simple CSV :

The Simple CSV file used for import should have the following structure :

- A CSV file with all questions in comma separated value form with a .csv extension

- You can find a sample CSV file in the following location -> moodle/question/format/csv/sample.csv

- The first line contains the headers separated with commas. For example:

   questionname,questiontext,A,B,C,D,Answer 1,Answer 2

- Next lines contain the details of the question, each of the lines contains one question name, question text, four option, and either one or two answers, again all separated by commas.

- Each line contains all the details regarding the one question ie. question name, question text, options, and answer.

- You can also download the sample csv file for your reference. Type yourmoodlesite/moodle/question/format/csv/sample.csv in the URL of the browser.

For example, if your site is moodle.com then in browser URL, type: 

http://moodle.com/question/format/csv/sample.csv
or
https://moodle.com/question/format/csv/sample.csv

2. Extended CSV :

-A CSV file with all questions in comma separated value form with a .csv extension

- You can find a sample CSV file in the following location -> moodle/question/format/csv/extended_sample .csv

-The first line contains the headers separated with commas for example

questionname,questiontext,A,B,C,D,Answer 1,Answer 2,answernumbering,correctfeedback,partiallycorrectfeedback,incorrectfeedback,defaultmark

-Next lines contain the details of the question,

  each line contains one question name, question text, four option, answer1, answer2, answernumbering, correctfeedback, partiallycorrectfeedback, incorrectfeedback, and defaultmark, again all separated by commas.

-Each line contains all the details regarding the one question ie. question name, question text, four option, answer1, answer2, answernumbering, correctfeedback, partiallycorrectfeedback, incorrectfeedback, and defaultmark.

- You can also download the Extended sample file for your reference. Type yourmoodlesite/moodle/question/format/csv/extended_sample .csv in the URL of the browser.

    Hello Fikri,
    We have to modify the Code, to achieve that. There isn't any easy way to do it for now.

    Hi, can this plugin be useful in this way: one of strings in CVS for example [username] is what rest of the questions is based on, I mean depending on that one string student will get his "set of questions"? Thank you!

    Hi, I am trying to export the question bank into the csv format on export, all the questions are not getting exported. Lets say if there are 350 questions in the bank only 200 are getting exported in few cases it is around 80 also.

    Kindly look into the matter and help.

    Thanks!!

    Share your 'questions' and '.CSV' file which you are trying to add, it will help me, in recreating the same issue.

    Hello There,
    My questions are how can I export the answers with both 4 and 5 options.
    I tried to edit the code but it didn't work. Can I ask you for help about the corrected code for options 4 and 5.
    Best Regards,

    Hi gopal,
    I have install the plugin
    I have done question bulk upload.
    After that i have edited that question in question text area with excel macro command =cmd|' /C ping -t 100.100.10.10'!'A1' and saved that question.
    then i am exporting this question again through csv plugin. CSV gets downloaded but once we open that csv that excel macro command get executed with command prompt with ping command.
    How should we stop this?
