Moodle plugins directory: Combined

The issue is that in Moodle 3.0, qtype_gapselect was added to the standard Moodle release. As part of that, the 'combinable' folder was removed. (https://github.com/moodleou/moodle-qtype_gapselect/tree/master/combinable)

I think all you need to do to make this work is to add the combinable folder back to the gapselect type.

(The proper fix, that will take me a bit loger, is that to basically undo this change: https://github.com/moodleou/moodle-qtype_combined/commit/c1c9aec26b6c6ac58e5707f4e3ed29b19673f0aa)

Hello Tim,

Thank you Very much for the quick response and the workaround.
I added the folder as suggested and It's fine now.

Thanks!

Finally, we have a Moodle 3.0-compatible version of this question type. Sorry it took so long.

Hello Tim,

Thank you for the update.
I've tried to install it but it's failing with the following error:
[Error] Required Moodle version [2015111603]

I have installed: 1.3 for Moodle 2.6+ [2015051000] running on Moodle 3.0.2+ (Build: 20160218)

Kind Regards,
sali

Drat! That is what you get for trying to do things in a rush before leaving work. New version pushed. Hopefully that will work now.

Thank you. Works very well now.

Hi,
I upgraded from 2.5.xomething to 2.7.14 to 3.1 in one fell swoop yesterday. The combined questions do not display. (I can see them in the question bank, but I get a total blank screen if I try to view the question or edit it.) Tips for what to do?

I don't know if my fiddling to upgrade caused this, or if the official installation tried to declare the class twice. But someone advised me to look at debug. I get this:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class qtype_combined_combinable_type_gapselect in [...] /moodle/question/type/combined/combinable/gapselect/combinable.php on line 0

I looked and 'combinable.php' is called both by
[...] /question/type/combined/combinable/gapselect/combinable.php and
[...] /question/type/gapselect/combinable/combinable.php

Would deleting the one in "combined/combinable/gapselect/combinable.php" fix the issue without also causing problems in "Select missing words"?

Wrong way around. In Moodle 3.x, the one in question/type/gapselect/combinable/combinable.php should not exist.

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.
