There are working examples in eAssessment with Moodle on our OpenLearn site.
The documentation is in How to create questions in Moodle on that site.
This question types uses other question types as sub questions. It allows you to have one or more entry fields for any of these question types embedded in your question text. You must have at least one of these question types installed for this combined question type to work :
- Variable numeric
- (the variable numeric question type in turn requires variable numeric set)
- Pattern match
- OU multiple response
- and / or Select missing word
Here is an example of a question where a teacher has combined 1 variable numeric, 1 pmatch, 1 multiple response and 1 select missing word sub question in one combined question.

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

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"?
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
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,
