This plugin seems to work with Moodle 3.11, at least we are using that combination. We just have not yet had time to properly test the compatibility of this version with standard Moodle 3.11, so we have not marked it as comaptible. Can you try it, and let us know what you find. It proably works.

thx we will try it and let you know.

I have now nearly finished making a version of Pattern-match which works with Moodle 3.11 and 4.0. The code is on github (in the 'main' branch). We will be testing in over the next few days, and then we will release the new version here.

If anyone is able to grab the latest code from GitHub, and help us test it, that would be very helpful. Thanks.

We inadvertently installed Pattern Match and it is not compatible with Moodle 4. How do I remove the code?

You can only uninstall a plugin if there's no question instances on your server. Once there are 0, you will then be able to navigate to: Site administration > Plugins > Question types > Manage question types > [Find PatternMatch row] > Uninstall.

Lantest version of pattern match is compatible with Moodle 4.0. Uninstalling a question type plugin is pretty much like uninstalling any other plugins.

Chris when I navigate to Manage question types the page is blank and I can't edit it. This started after the update.

Hmm. How do you know it is PatternMatch causing the issue. Is it perhaps PatternMatch JME (https://moodle.org/plugins/qtype_pmatchjme)? We're still working on that for M4 compatibility.

That is correct. My apologies. The errors being thrown are for PatternMatch JME. How do I uninstall it as I'm getting a blank screen on Manage Question Types. Thank you for your time.

Have you googled (or your preferred search engine) for using the command line interface (CLI) to remove plugins? Some discussion here: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=389481

Compatible version of https://moodle.org/plugins/qtype_pmatchjme just released.

Thank you Chris for your help. I have successfully uninstalled the plugin. I was told by our database guru that it was PatternMatch that was throwing the errors. I was able to uninstall the plugin through the web interface. The additional challenge was that after our last upgrade our install was still registered as 3.6. When I was notified of the available update the 3.6 version was installed on our 4.01. It would be useful if Moodle could automatically detect the version number and not allow you to install incompatible plugins. It was my mistake when I failed to double check which version our install was registered as.

Hi Tim and folks,
I ma having a frustrating time with this question type because of a couple of issues:
Firstly when trying to use the suggested rule feature, I am getting no useful results, which seems to come down to a lack of a value in the Amati web service URL setting. What is the state of play here please? I presume the Amati webservice is something only accessible within the OU?
Secondly, when human override marks are to manually mark an answer as correct, Moodle is still showing the answers with a red cross in the feedback, although the left margin says they are correct.

Correct, 'Suggest rule' requires a back-end the follows the API, and there is not one that is pubicly available. Amati, which we use at the OU, was a academic's research project, and we don't have permission to share it, I am afraid.

The feedback displayed within the question based on the automated marking. I believe that works in the same way for all Moodle question types, and we are just being consistent with that design. I agree that it looks weird in this case.

Are there any plans to make this plugin 4.2 compatible?
