Moodle plugins directory: Turnitin plagiarism plugin

Ah, plagiarism_turnitin requires mod_turnitintooltwo to be installed as well as it shares a lot of code. There is a '$plugin->dependencies' array in version.php which should prevent it being installed or used if mod_turnitintooltwo isn't installed.

We used this plugin some time ago and I'm just finding out that when we removed it something failed. Right now I'm trying to figure out the least impactful way to remove it. I found that installing the latest version and then removing it again works.
However it seems that the changes in Release: v2017022201 that address the plugin switching to using the newer event handling system cleans up various old tables including m_events_queue and m_event_handlers. Which is fine because we want them gone. However because of our failed removal some years ago m_events_queue has something like 1.5 million rows in it and seems to be growing with every cron run. The install process that cleans this stuff up is taking over 2 hours.

I'm looking for ideas on how to speed up that process. I'm going to try trunc'ing m_events_queue and m_events_handlers before the install and seeing if that helps as I've checked and the only stuff in there seems to be stuff that would be cleaned up by the install anyway.

Anyone have any other suggestions?

Hi Daniel, could you write a script to remove items from mdl_events_queue if the id isn't equal to a queuedeventid in mdl_events_queue_handlers ?

is this available for india

Sachin, please see http://go.turnitin.com/en_us/consultation for more information.

Great plugin. Thanks!

Does it have any trial account to check?

Hi guys, just testing this out for Moodle 3.0.5 got it all connected and shows status but cant interact with it. i.e click and launch grademark studio from the pencil/originality score icon

Hi Chris. Are you seeing any errors in the console browser?

urr - yep lots of Jquery errors by the looks of things :/

Does the plugin support online text-only assignments, or does it absolutely need a file submission? In other words, does TII generate a pseudo-file for submission of online text the way the Moodle inline grader generates a pseudo-file for annotation and mark-up?

Hi Glenn, yes it supports online text submissions. A file will be generated on the Turnitin side for displaying the report and for grading.

Hi, How much does this plugin cost?

Hi Adam, the plugin itself is free but you'll require an account. Please contact http://turnitin.com/ for further information.

Hi John,

I have a problem where only one of my courses of 12 is currently showing TurnItIn document submission values, and the "Refresh Submissions" and "Launch Peermark Manager" settings when editing the case discussion forum directly.

Is there a reason why this would only be enabled for one course? I have spent the day try to debug but cannot spot any errors or patterns.
