WIRIS plugin for Moodle

Add a fully WYSIWYG for scientific expressions (WIRIS EDITOR) and, optionally, an advanced calculator tool (WIRIS CAS). Enabled editing to STEM related topics (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics).

WIRIS EDITOR is a mathematical visual (WYSIWYG) editor. You can use a large collection of icons nicely organized in thematic tabs in order to create formulas or equations for any web content. You can create and edit your formulas in a visual environment, just click on the WIRIS editor icon for creation or double-click on the formula for edition. No maintenance when upgrading Moodle to a new minor version. It is based on JavaScript and compatible with HTML 5.

WIRIS EDITOR offers a chemistry toolbar. The maths and the chemistry palette are available from different icons in the rich text editor.

WIRIS CAS is an online platform for mathematical calculations designed for education. You can access a powerful calculation toolbar through an HTML page that includes integrals and limits calculation, function graphing in 2D or 3D and symbolic matrices manipulation, among others. WIRIS cas covers all mathematical topics from primary school to university level (Calculus, Algebra, Geometry, Differential Equations...).

WIRIS tools can be used for free up to a certain level of use per natural year. Please read license conditions and prices at WIRIS store.

In order to use WIRIS tools for editing you need to combine WIRIS filter with  WIRIS plugin for Atto and/or WIRIS plugin for TinyMCE.

More than editing, better quizzes.

@Matthew Thanks for your feedback.
We just upload a new version (3.54.1.1161) fixing the bug you found.

There are a series of php warning while running phpunit tests with the wiris filter installed.

PHP Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$version in filter/wiris/version.php on line 35 PHP Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$version in filter/wiris/version.php on line 56

Not a big deal, but it would be nice if this was fixed.

@Matt

We added the issue into our tracker. We'll let you know when the issue is fixed (probably in the next release).

Best,

This page should refer clearly that WIRIS is not open source and it is a commercial solution with costs to non schools or shcools with more than 1000 equations. Many moodlers are using this tool without a clue about this. Please update the plugin description.

Dear António,

The Plugin description does already include the following sentence with a link to WIRIS store

Please read conditions and prices in WIRIS store.

Thanks Ramon. However I think it should be stated on the top sentence. I didn't notice it. It is very frustating to install a plugin, inform your users and then have to remove it when you find it is not free like majority of Moodle plugins. Transparency above all. I am sure that the 58k downloads are not shools with less than 1000 Equations and were induced in error like me. 58k * 400 Euros = 23 million Euros annually. This should be taken serious.

@hadi behrouzian,

Do yo have the appropiate permissions on plugin's folders? We get a 403 error on plugin's info page (filter/wiris/info.php) . Please check permissions on filter/wiris/ and lib/editor/atto/plugins/wiris/ folders.

If the problem continues, don't hesitate to contact us at support@wiris.com.

Hi,

I installed the wiris filter and math editor and it worked perfectly. However after updating to 3.0 all the equations that I created using Wiris now shows ........etc. in the question text. I have upgraded the plugins for atto and tinymce, however the icon to open wiris doesn't show up in neither of these editors, although I ensure that wiris was configured to show up in the editor.
What can I do for it to show the icon.

@Ravi Lamontagne

Please note that WIRIS plugin/filter is compatible with Moodle 3.0 since version 3.54.1.
Check at /filter/wiris/info.php if your version number is equal or higher than 3.54.1.

We're having issues where the TinyMCE WIRIS editor doesn't work properly in the second text editor on a page. For example, create a new "Page" resource and add math to both the content and description. If we then edit the page a second time, the math in the content is mangled with the addition of partial images tags. This is with the latest WIRIS and moodle 2.9.4. Downgrading our previous version of wiris editor fixes the problem.

Another problem we've noticed is that copy and paste of equations isn't working in Atto. The pasted equation is recognized only as an image by the editor. This is in Chrome and firefox under Moodle 2.9.4 with the latest WIRIS editor.

@Matt Petro, Thanks for your feedback, The dev team is aware of the issue and are currently working on a fix.

We will let you know once the issue has been resolved

Thanks,

@WIRIS TEAM SUPPORT.
Yes I can confirm that I have the latest version of the filter installed. I have upgraded all the components to the latest version. This includes the plugin for ATTO and TinyMCE. I also have the wiris filter second on the list of filters with the MathJax on top. Still the icon doesn't show. I have also doubled check to ensure that I have included in the atto and tinymce toolbar configuration. For atto it is just "maths" and for tinymce it is " tiny_mce_wiris_formulaEditor, tiny_mce_wiris_CAS". Still it doesn't work.
