Moodle plugins directory: Turnitin plagiarism plugin

Hi GB APK, that fix should have gone out now

Hello do you an idea what happen to this message in error log of turnitin plugins in moodle: This submissionid - {$a->externalid} was not found in Turnitin. Unable to retrieve similarity score and other submission data. Because some of students complaining upon their submission, while others are okay.

Crashes Moodle 3.5.2 and 3.6

Hi Jason,

Could you provide more information please? We don't experience any crashes.

bit of spam in the plugins db at the moment - Jason is a new user and doesn't have any forum posts... probably just safe to ignore at this stage...

Hi all

I've been thinking I've come across a bit of a bug, but wanted to make sure I'm not missing something simple before I do that. I've come across an expired 'class' which puts all documents into read-only mode. The Moodle course has no expiry date enabled. There are 6 assignments with plagiarism plugin enabled, one of which had a due date of 4 days ago and the others are in the future.

On the Turnitin V2 mod, this can be rectified by extending the due date of the Turnitin assignment (Moodle TT) from within the Turnitin grading page (.../mod/turnitintooltwo/view.php?id=xxxx).

However, the class expiry of a Moodle assignments with plagiarism (Moodle PP) looks to be an arbitrary date when viewing on turnitinuk.com. I see nothing in the course or assignment settings which relates to the class expiry when viewing on Turnitinuk.com. I realise this can't possibly be the case... but where can it be set/updated from?

Is there a way to set the class expiry or initiate a refresh from within the Moodle course/assignment interface to take assignments out of read-only mode?

I've tried enabling a course end date in the future, updating the course start date to a recent date and all assignment date related settings but none appear to update the turnitin class end date. The only way I've been able to re-enable these assignments & submissions (out of read-only mode) is to login to turnitinuk.com and extend the class end date.

Perhaps I'm simply misunderstanding how Turnitin classes work and/or the relationship between turnitin assignments and classes.

Thanks in advance!

Plugin failed to upgrade properly on moodle 3.5.3 -
Some error during the upgrade (on a windows IIS /MSSQL moodle instance) resulted in a blank screen. Plugin overview reported new version number, but the new scheduled tasks weren't created, though the old one got removed. We ended up having to manually put them into the database.

We reported this to turnitin, but they want admin access to look into it, and we don't allow that.

It actually took several weeks of back and forth after realising no submissions had been sent to work out the problem.

I downloaded the latest version (3.1+ (2019031301)) from the Moodle plugin directory, however, I am not able to install it at all.

As soon as I put the "turnitin" folder into my Moodle's "plagiarism" subfolder, the site only returns http error 500 when trying to access it.

It is so broken that I cannot even provide any additional error codes, since it completely breaks my site...

I guess this is the same problem that Jason up there was trying to report...

btw, this is on Moodle 3.6.2+ (Build: 20190201), I already posted in the github tracker as well...
(sorry for using 3 posts)

with help from the github turnitin team I was able to identify the problem: I had the wrong mod plugin installed (turnitintool instead of turnitintooltwo) - after installing turnitintooltwo, the installation of this plugin worked as well

Hi,
We are having issues with Moodle assignments/forums that use Turnitin plagiarism plugin in that any submissions through these 2 methods are now sitting at queued, having looked into it the cron job Send Queued Files from the Turnitin Plagiarism Plugin is failing (tried manually from Moodle and from the cli).
The error in the cron log is:
[Turnitin Plagiarism Plugin] Aborted Cron call because of active task mode

From the cli it returns the error:
Cannot obtain task lock

Under Site administration\Plugins\Plagiarism\Turnitin plagiarism plugin\Errors there are a number of errors due to unsupported file types and large files, would deleting the files via clicking the Delete submission icon just remove the entry in Turnitin and leave the Moodle submission?
Also I'm assuming that once these errors are cleared the cron would start to run again?

Any help appreciated.

This relates to the issue here https://github.com/turnitin/moodle-plagiarism_turnitin/issues/419

Uncaught Error: Mismatched anonymous define() module #419

Sorry for posting here as well but this is a major issue for us. Our lecturers cannot grant extensions or add comments.

Is there a hotfix we can use?

Can anyone confirm if this plugin works with assignments using the Mahara plugin to allow eportfolio submissions? We are currently trying to find a way to plagiarism-check our students' Mahara submissions but can't find any concrete guidance.

Any and all advice on this appreciated!

Thanks,

Nick

Hi Nick, we've never tested it and without knowing too much about Mahara I don't think it would as I assume the submission is of a different type. We'd be interested in looking at this though.
