Hi Tim,
Is there any chance we might get 3.2 compatible versions of the combined and other various question types please? 3.1.x is now out of support and I would really like to upgrade to 3.2 or 3.3
Thanks

Done

Thanks, that's great. Any ideas what of timescales for the supporting question like variable numeric and pattern match please?

Hello Tim !
First of all, thanks for this question type, that's awesome.

I'm trying to implement the core multichoice as combined (I don't want the OU-one notation system, nor the checkboxes). No problems on where to place my files, but I'm not really sure of what I need to keep / change from the oumultiresponse / gapselect implementation, neither from combinable.php nor from renderer.php.

Do you have some tips to implement quickly the behaviour of a core type as combinable ? (I'm trying to do it, comparing the source files of 'gapselect' with 'combinable_gapselect', but that's not the much efficient)

Cheers,

More people are likely to see your question, and therefore be in a position to help, if you post in the quiz forum: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=737

Is this the place to request adding an open-ended essay answer option to the combined question type?
The flexibility of combined question type gets Moodle quizzes much closer to looking like the standardized tests my students are starting to see. Pure mimicking is not the goal, of course, but using my Moodle to make questions that get my students comfortable with the format is a big deal. Adding a field for a typed response would be a huge help for me.

Hi Tim,
I think you are very busy, but I need your help.
I have effectively used your Combined plugin until now!
I receive the error message: "Exception - Class 'qtype_multichoice' not found " when creating a new combined question. I cannot preview the old combined questions! I tested with Moodle 3.9, 3.8, then 3.7, 3.6, 3.5 and I have the same problem!
I hope you help me to fix it!

Thanks.

Best Regards,

FL

That is a very surprising error message. qtype_multichoice is part of standard moodle!

Please can you turn on debugging (https://docs.moodle.org/en/Debugging) - set it to Developer level, and then copy the full error message. Then we can probably work out what the problem is. Thanks.

Hi Tim,

Thanks for your hint, and that is the full error message:

Oh! I think I see what has happened.

I got half way through checking that my plugins work with Moodle 3.9, which means that I have published the latest version of qtype_oumultiresponse, but not yet the latest qtype_combined.

And I did not realise that the new mutli-choice / old combined is a broken combination. I am working on pushing a new version now. I just need to get the automated tests to pass.

OK, new version published. I hope that solves your problem.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Wow!
What an expert!
It works, Tim!
Thanks for your profession and enthusiasm!
Best Regards,

FL

PS: Can you (or you know who can) help me to fix the problem in "https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=402196"? Thanks.

It could be possible that this type of question could have a property for a "all or nothing" calification?

Hi Tim,
Last day i have upgraded my moodle from 3.7 to 3.10.
And from the combined essay type sub questions i am getting the following errors from the error log. [From the student role & Non-editing-teacher role]
[error] 14868#14868: *3617 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: Default exception handler: Exception - Access to undeclared static property: question_state::$ Debug:

I know the combined 2.0 is not released for moodle 3.10 [sorry for not checking the docs before upgrade], is there anyway we can fix this error?

Best Regards,
SJ
