Does this plugin still work? If I attempt to select a quiz question to use for restricted access the questions themselves do not populate.

This plugin is specific to quizzes. Working with the different questions used by other activites would require a completely different plugin to be created.

Excellent plugin. It would be great to have this plugin work for questions on surveys, choice, feedback, and lessons too.

Sorry, I meant the "Course overview" block under "My courses", not "Course Summary block."

No worries, thanks for making it work as it does thus far.
FYI, all sorts of things have gotten weird with my upgrade to 4.04 since I Reset the Course in my attempt to fix the 403 Forbidden error I've been getting when I try to add/edit certain questions, (like one quiz still showing an Attempt has been made after the Course was completely Reset; and the Course Summary block no longer showing any courses now), so I'm going to try another upgrade from 3.11. I need to get to it shortly, so if that works for you in terms of testing the upgrade code for this, happy to do it. If not, it's not a big deal for me to reset the Single Question Restrictions again.
Thanks again!!

Thanks for testing it out and reporting back. So, clearly something has gone wrong in the upgrade code (which is a pain, becuase it is the hardest bit to test). I'll see if I can fix it some time, although it is probably too late for your site.

Hi Tim,

I did a thorough check through its many instances in one of our Courses and the Plugin worked great, once each instance was reset. Unfortunately, every Restriction did need to be reset to the specific Question desired. The reference to the Activity the Question was contained within remained intact, just not the actual question itself.

Sincere thanks for everything; you've certainly got your hands full! You're everywhere!! )

Sorry. If you go to https://github.com/timhunt/moodle-availability_quizquestion, Click the green 'Code' button top right of the middle of the page, there should be a 'Download ZIP' option there. You should be able to feed that zip to Moodle plugin update system in the admin screens of your site - I think.

(Other, geeker, methods exist. With git version control system, there are always a million ways to do anything.)

Hi Tim, that's exciting news. Unfortunately, I have no idea what "test the latest version on the main branch in git" actually means or entails. If it's simple enough, I'm happy to do it though; just let me know how.

OK, I managed to update the plugin. I think it now workes with 4.0 - but it coudl do with some more testing before I release it.

@Jeff, are you able to test the lastest version on the main branch in git?

Thanks for the update Tim. Good luck with all that you have going.

If there is anyone else who can help with this, it would be greatly appreciated. As previously stated, we can't upgrade to Moodle 4 without it. Unfortunately, we're new to this, so don't have the necessary expertise. Best to all, regardless.

I am sorry, but I cannot promise anything at the moment. I seem to have many thing to do.

I made a start at https://github.com/timhunt/moodle-availability_quizquestion/commit/a0dc93223a55b23d4b49adc87d194157423447ed#diff-68cf389f000a345b3f9a3fa48127930c19fe5ff4e108d37b835754cc2eef0c86, but this does not work yet. I think the failing automated tests point roughly towards what needs to be fixed.

If anyone else is able to work on this, that would be very helpful.

Hi Tim, hope you're doing well. Any possible ETA on when this might be updated for Moodle 4? We'd love to update to Moodle 4, but rely on this great Plugin too much for that to be possible until it's compatible. Much appreciated!
