Multitrack test

Activities ::: mod_magtest
Maintained by Valery Fremaux
This activity proposes a multitrack test such as visible in magazines. Questions are defined with a predefined number of answer categories, one answer per category. If the participant chooses the answer, it gives points to the relevant category. Each category drives a scoring track and the feedback of the most rated category is given. The result of the test can be used to generate groups in the course.

    I have easily uploaded your Moodle 1.9 version of Multitest and find that it does not want to update after I add questions. Is there something that I am doing inproperly? Thank you for your time.

    Hi Valery,
    I visited the Website URL page at http://www.mylearningfactory.com/course/view.php?id=33 to know more about your magtest add-on. I could not find much info (Je ne parle pas français), so maybe I will create a Moodle Docs page for this plugin. Is that OK with you?

    In the Website URL page You have a block named Fréquentation (hits). I liked it a lot.

    Is the Fréquentation block a moodle add-on block that you developed?
    Will you submit it to Moodle plugins database for all to use ?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Valery,
    I just found the Moodle Docs page that you wrote for this plugin at http://docs.moodle.org/25/en/Magtest_module.

    I had not seen it before sad My fault. I apologize.

    Could you please link to this page in 'Useful Links' above as 'Moodle Documentation for this plugin' ?

    Thanks again.

    Hello, Valery, Excellent Plug in.
    Is there any solution for the Hint issue?
    ("- about helps and hnts : absolutely agree. I will work on it. to improve this early step of dicumentation.")

    I downloaded the version 2013070901 and works perfectly, but the hint button opens a new page, I would expect it to open a pop up or a floating div.

    Regards.

    Nous utilisons le plugin "Multitrack test".
    Nous aurions besoin de ce plugin sur une version 2.9 de Moodle.
    Savez vous s'il est prévu une mise à jour de ce plugin pour cette version et si oui pour quand ?
    Merci d'avance,
    Cordialement,

    Is it possible to shuffle the questions. Also how to show a particular response for scoring high in a particular category?

    I've run into an issue with this with MySQL 5.7. Specifically the magtest_get_next_questionset() function fails for any other user if one user has undertaken the activity. The LEFT JOIN in this is not returning any null values so the user will never be given the next question as it returns false.

    I changed the function to get the number of questions in the test and then check the number of responses a user has. If these are different then it presents the next question to the user. Code is:

    // If all questions have answers, test is finished (no next page).
    $questions = $DB->get_records('magtest_question', array('magtestid' => $magtest->id), 'sortorder');

    // Check if the user has answered already.
    if ($useranswers = $DB->get_records('magtest_useranswer', array('userid' => $USER->id, 'magtestid' => $magtest->id))) {
    if (count($useranswers) == count($questions)) {
    return false;
    }
    }

    This could obviously be more efficient by using count_records() rather than get_records() followed by count(). This was more of a hack to find and fix the issue.

    Hi Valery. The plugin does not allow to creat groups using the tests anymore ( it shows this error: coding error detected, it must be fixed by a programmer: groupmode() can not be used any more, please use groups_get_* instead ). I beg you to fix it, I need the plugin for the final work of my master on e-learning. Thanks a lot.

    Hello,

    This module contains multiple PHP syntax errors, appearing to come from un unsuccessful code merge. We managed to test the plugin by installing the master version from GitHub, but other errors arise then.

    Is this plugin still maintained?
