Moodle plugins directory: Gapfill

Can you open an issue ticket here https://github.com/marcusgreen/moodle-qtype_gapfill/issues and give you moodle version, question type version and the theme you are using.

Dear all !

In recent years, GapFill questions have worked wonderfully with formulas that are not written in LaTeX. A few days ago, my colleagues and I found that all formulas stay with dollar signs. Perhaps this is due to the latest updates. Is there any hope that the LaTeX will be readable or that all questions will have to be redone?

Could you post an example in the quiz forum. I don't quite understand your question. It will not allow LaTex to be used for the answer for gaps which is mentioned in the documentation here https://docs.moodle.org/38/en/Gapfill_question_type#Extended_Characters.

Post is in the quiz forum "GapFill with Latex"

Any hints?

A new column was introduced to the main table within the last few releases, and it looks like your installation does not have it.

I get validation error but my site is Moodle 3.1?

That is not enough information to comment, what message did you get?

Hi, first sorry for my approximative english. We use Gapfill (last release) in moodle 3.9.
We have an HTML problem (with several theme) when we add a gapfill in a test.
I investigated and find a "div" auto-closed : ... in the gapfill question part.
It seems to me that is the origin of our HTML problem.
Does that remind you of something ? If i'm not wrong, is it possible to fix it ?
Thanks a lot and sorry if you notice that my investigation is finally wrong,
Julia

Sorry I can't write HTML code : it's div class answeroptions (auto-closed).

Hi Julia, you may be experiencing the issue reported here https://github.com/marcusgreen/moodle-qtype_gapfill/issues/62. I anticipate releasing a new version of the plugin in the very near future.

Yes it's this issue. Thanks a lot for your work.

My apologies for this error, and thank you for your feedback. I hope to release the updated version within the next 24 hours.

"Instead of dragging answers into gaps, the answer will be clicked to select and then a gap will be clicked to drop into"

I can do this on mobile phone browser

That is how it works on the mobile app and I considered modifying the browser version to do the same but decided it was more work than I wanted to do.
