Hi Tom,

Thank you for your contribution. Am I looking at the right place or QML standard: https://www.questionmark.com/us/qml/Pages/default.aspx ? Which version of QML does your importer support?

Hi

Yes that is the correct place. All of the sample files I was given to work with are all version 3, so it is built around that version.

Hi Tom. Thanks for sharing the plugin with the community. I admit I had troubles with actually using it, although the problems were not related directly to the code. Please see the issue #2 in your tracker for the details.

Regarding the coding itself, I think that the reported bug #1 in your tracker will have to be fixed prior to approving the plugin here.

I am going to mark this plugin as needs more work now. Thanks for your patience with the review and approval process.

Hi all! Is this plugin still working or maintained? We are at Moodle 3.1 and soon we will get tons of QMP questions to import. I hope this will work for us!

Hi Richard. I don't think we've used it since Moodle 2.9, but I don't think the API's changed recently so it should still work OK. It is tagged as alpha though, mostly because it only supports a relatively small subset of QMP questions (the ones we needed to import). Hope it works for you.

Please see this post... I have attached a QML question that is not imported correctly.

Thanks Richard. I'll look into this as soon as I can. In the meantime it would be great if you could report the bug at https://github.com/lucisgit/moodle-qformat_qml/issues and attach the import file there.

I was wondereing if there is a recent version of this plugin that works with QM OD 201810. I got this error this morning: The type of the file you selected (text / xml) does not match the type expected by this import format (application / xml).

Hi Ruud. I'm afraid there haven't been any changes to this plugin for quite a while, but if you report the bug at https://github.com/lucisgit/moodle-qformat_qml/issues and attach the import file in question, I'll look into it when I can.
