Moodle Plugins Directory: WIRIS quizzes

Hi Ravi,
Sorry for not communicating, I just saw your comment...
The version for Moodle 2.1 will be available in Q2 of 2012 at the latest. I suggest that you subscribe to our quarterly newsletter to stay informed: www.wiris.com/en/newsletter

Best regards,

"WIRIS quizzes is a plugin for Moodle that enhances the questionnaire systems with functionalities related to mathematics and science."
Please do not use the word "questionnaire" in your description, as it relates to an existing Moodle plugin. This might be confusing to potential users of your plugin. I suggest replacing with "questions" or "quiz".
Joseph

Thanks Joseph, I just saw your post and change it right away.

The description of the plugin is not editable, but we note it for next time. Thanks for the comment.

I have just installed Wiris quizzes (Moodle 2.3.1+) and while it seems that it works properly, the name of the plugins are missing. When I click on the "Create new question" button, in the list I get "pluginname" instead of something else.

@Márton Bacsó, please use the updated version from the Website URL, http://www.wiris.com/moodle
The version here (of July 4th) is very outdated. We will change it in a few days.
WIRIS quizzes for Moodle 2 is a complete rewrite, and has had a lot of changes in the past few months.
Thanks for your feedback!

Hi folks. I am not able to install wiris quizzes v. 3.20 or 3.18 on my moodle 2.0.10 platform in which wiris 3.18.2 filter is enabled. When I copy the contents from “types” folder in to folder “../question/type/”, after an auto check of the moodle's subunits, an error is occurred in filter/wiris section. Any help would be appreciated.

@Ioannis, sorry after a month of working together in this issue we have not been able to make it work in Moodle 2.0.10. We can support only from Moodle 2.1.5 onwards. Furthermore, we are looking forward to Moodle 2.4 that will force changes in our components.

We hope you will give WIRIS another try when your sysadmins upgrade the PHP version, and you'll receive all our support!

Hi,
Very nice plugin, but all the new question types are named in English only, and there is no way to translate them for Moodle users of other languages, as the plugin itself and the question types are not hosted within the moodle database (but at wiris.com). It is a pity. Are there any plans to host the plugin question types within the moodle database, so that the English strings can be translated by the AMOS interfase ?

Dear German,

WIRIS QUIZZES for Moodle 2 is available in Spanish, Italian and Catalan. More languages to come soon.

We will check the AMOS problem that you mention and come back with an answer in a few days.

Hello Ramon,
Indeed, Wiriz quizzes includes a /lang/es folder with international spanish translations. Could you please include also a /lang/es_mx folder with the same strings, BUT CHANGE "emparejamiento" por "relación de columnas" (Mexican and European Spanish have some differences, such as this) and, could you please translate the following English strings for both language packs:

qtype_wq addingwq "Adding a generic WIRIS question" "Añadiendo una pregunta genérica WIRIS"
qtype_wq editingwq "Editing a generic WIRIS question" "Editando una pregunta genérica WIRIS"
qtype_wq wqsummary "This adds a generic WIRIS question. Only for test purpose. It will be hide from here." "Esto añade una pregunta genérica WIRIS. Solamente para fines de prueba. Será oculto de aquí".

and

qtype_wq wq_help "Generic WIRIS quizzes Help" "Ayuda para exámenes genéricos WIRIS" para la carpeta es_mx
qtype_wq wq_help "Generic WIRIS quizzes Help" "Ayuda para cuestionarios genéricos WIRIS" para la carpeta es

You can register yourself as a translator in AMOS at http://lang.moodle.org/
The international spanish has only 96% translated strings. We need help.
Thanks in advance for your help. GRACIAS

Hello German,
Let me schedule it for the next release, and notify you when done.
¡Muchas gracias!

Hi, I wish to install your plugin on my moodle site. I am using Moodle 2.5.4. When I try to install from website it says:
T"here is a request to install an add-on from the Moodle plugins directory on this site. Unfortunately the request is not valid and so the add-on cannot be installed."
When I download and try to install it says:
"File version.php not found"
Please help me asap

Regards,
Aditya

Hi Aditya,
Unfortunately, WIRIS quizzes can't be installed using the Install add-ons feature. We're working on fixing this issue.
In the meantime you need to install it manually. The manual installation process is very easy and it is described here: http://www.wiris.com/quizzes/docs/moodle/install
Please remember that in order to use WIRIS quizzes you also need to install WIRIS filter and WIRIS plugin for TinyMCE!
