Moodle plugins directory: Gapfill

Hi I saw a small bug kind of a thing, when I creating a custom theme. in common rendering, there is no wrapper for draggables and question texts. So there are some complications in doing some CSS styling works on these things. So I put divs with "draggables" and "questiontxt" classes in it on "formulation_and_controls" function. So I suggest to put these kind of wrapper to this plugins newer versions. That will be lot help to people like me who creating Moodle Themes.

Hi,

I saw that you have posted a message in Moodle forum asking about how gapfill question type can be integrated with quizzes in the Moodle mobile. https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=334322. Could I know when you will release an updated version that can be integrated with the mobile app, please? Gapfill is a very useful question type and we have more than 4500 students using the Moodle mobile app in my institution. I am really looking forward to seeing gapfill can be used in Moodle mobile app.

Thank you for your feedback Yezi. I don't have any current timetable for creating a version that will work with Moodle mobile, though as you could see from my post, it is something I am interested in. In the meantime I am interested in making sure that it works on mobile devices in standard mobile browsers. What percentage of your users use the Mobile app?

Hi Marcus, Thank you for your plugin. I noticed your plugin is not compatible with "Filter Multi-lang" plugin. Is it in your dev roadmap to add a feature to support multiple languages in question types? If you have any plan, please share. I am new to Moodle but not PHP. I can contribute some code if it can help.

FYI Filter Multi-lang: https://moodle.org/plugins/filter_multilang2

Looking forward hearing from you soon

Thank you

Hi Nicholas Ndalpe, thank you for your interest. I recently tested it with the built in (core) MultiLang filter which seemed to work as I expected, but I have not tested it with multilang2. Email me at marcusavgreen at gmail.com to discuss further.

Any concrete plans for making compatible with Moodle for Mobile app?

Hi Freddie, the short answer is no and you can read a longer answer here

I have just noticed a problem across multiple Moodle's (which are indpendent of each other) that I work on where, for the gapfill questions that I have created, in the Combined Feedback area, any feedback that was present for 'For any correct response' - has now been made blank. Do you have any idea what would have caused this, and more to the point a solution?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Dave, the short answer is no, but I have emailed you directly for more information.

Hello Marcus, Longtime user of your awesome questiontype! I found an issue with the current version. We updated to the latest version today and I discovered an issue with your CSS which left an open :focus selector. Here is the fixed CSS for styles.css starting at line 12 ========
/* glow a little around the border */
.que.gapfill input.droptarget:hover, .que.gapfill input.droptarget:focus {
border: 1px solid #7bc1f7;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #7bc1f7;
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #7bc1f7;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #7bc1f7;
}

Without ( .que.gapfill input.droptarget:focus ) that it was putting glow all over my site! currently you have a comma and then :focus { which puts your glow everywhere that has focus.

Chris

Thanks Chris, I will look into that

Hello, Marcus! First I want to thank you for the plugin, it's really great.
But I have an issue with it. And I hope you can help me. So here's the situation:
I'm using a series of gapfill questions (drag & drop mode) in a quiz with immediate feedback. This way the learner can see feedback after each question and adjust, improving his/her performance ot he way. But after having hit the first "Check" button, the learner can't move any other choices (the words given to fill in the gaps). I've tested it on Chrome, on Mobile Chrome and on Microsoft Edge, but got the same result.
If there's a cure for it I would apreciate it very much!
If you need more details, please ask.
Looking forward to hearing from you, and again thanks for the plugin!

With multiple attempts/instant feedback and hints you will see feedback and a "Try again" button when you get an incorrect answer. You can experiment with it on this web site questiontype.uk/mdl Gapfill course (username and password are given). The question with the picture of the cat illustrates this. If that doesn't clarify things, export a few of your questions in xml format with a description of your setup and I will go over the steps on one of my machines. Let me know how it goes and you can email me at marcusavgreen at gmail dot com.

Hi Boris, I appear to have received your last message again (the one from 27 Mar) again. I am assuming that was a mistake, if not please either post here again or email me directly.

Great to hear from you! I haven't seen any notifications of your message. So, I'll send you an email with description, screenshots and exported questions.
THANK you so much for your attention!
