Moodle plugins directory: Embed question atto button

The two plugins work together to provide the functionality. This plugin (atto_embedquestion) is used when you create some content in the editor, to set up the embedding. The other plugin (filter_embedquestion) displays the question when someone views the content. You need them both.

Hi,
when I open the popup in Atto I don't see any question categories. We are using a question bank in the corecontext. Are only question categories in the course context listed?
Kind regards

Only questions in the course context can be linked.

Where does this plugin get installed?

@Christopher Blake. Assuming that I'm interpreting the question correctly, when installed, the button will be available to Atto, but you will then need to configure the Text Editor interface to make it visible to users (tutor role upwards). Atto toolbar settings should be available at [Your server]/admin/settings.php?section=editorsettingsatto.

Just to reiterate what Chris said. I wanted to add that there are instructions specific to this plugin at https://github.com/moodleou/moodle-filter_embedquestion/blob/master/readme.md, and the general instructions for installing plugins into Moodle are at https://docs.moodle.org/35/en/Installing_plugins#Installing_a_plugin

I've installed both the atto plugin and the filter. I've got questions in the course category but when I go open the embed question panel in atto it can't find a course category to pick questions from. Is there another step?

@Kieran Briggs: Assuming you have Moodle 3.6.0+, have you added an ID number for the category form and also in the questions that you have created within the category? There's a blog I wrote when we first released this, but it's a bit out of date as at the time (pre-Moodle 3.6) we had to add IDs into the title fields of categories/questions. Today, everything is handled by the ID numbers (called 'ID numbers' but fully alphanumeric). The blog post is: https://medium.com/@GoTeamOU/embeddable-moodle-quiz-questions-d76b7e2cace9

Hope that helps,

Chris.

@Chris Nelson. Thanks for the info. I forgot to mention i'm running on 3.5.2 at the moment. Do you have a link to that blog post for pre-3.6?

@Kieran: thanks, good to know your version. In that case, that blog post should be perfect for you, as it was written when we were on Moodle 3.5 as well! Basically the big difference is that pre-Moodle 3.6, you use "ID:zzz" in the website category title and the question title, where "zzz" is your preferred ID. I tend to use "embeddable" as the website category ID (I keep all the embeddable questions together), and then a question ID that makes sense, like "CourseWeek##Activity##". This results in a question ID something like "k101w15act22" (K101 being an example course, week 15, activity 22.

@Chris: Thanks for that. Its working great now. Cheers

Hi all, in response to interest here and through other channels, I've written a new blog post (will try and get them added to this page):

Thanks so much for that write-up Chris.

A question not covered by the FAQ: When are you back from your July holidays?
(I want to know when I can get my hands on it!)

End of July
We don't know the amount of effort required for checking Moodle 3.7 and any additional work required yet, so it's difficult to know for sure how long it'll take. I am personally hoping we can share the latest version by mid-August.
For v2.0 (the version that records student responses), we'll try to share that update with the community much quicker!

thanks its working
