This files describes API changes for question import/export format plugins.
|
|
|
|
=== 4.0 ===
|
|
|
|
* The ExamView question format has been completely removed.
|
|
The last posts in http://forum.examview.com/index.php?
|
|
are from over 10 years ago and there are no moodle.org
|
|
discussions about Examview in the last 10 years.
|
|
|
|
* The WebCT question format has been completely removed (WebCT was acquired by Blackboard in 2006).
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== 3.6 ===
|
|
|
|
* Saving question category descriptions (info) is now supported in Moodle XML import/export format.
|
|
New xml-structure snippet for a question category:
|
|
<question type="category">
|
|
<category>
|
|
<text>${$contexttypename}$/{$category_path}</text>
|
|
</category>
|
|
<info format="{$format}">
|
|
<text>{$info_categorydescription}</text>
|
|
</info>
|
|
</question>
|
|
* The method importprocess() in question/format.php no longer accepts $category as a parameter.
|
|
If required in a plugin then please override this method.
|
|
|
|
=== 2.3 ===
|
|
|
|
* This plugin type now supports cron in the standard way. If required, Create a
|
|
lib.php file containing
|
|
function qformat_mypluginname_cron() {};
|
|
|
|
=== 2.1.5 / 2.2.3 / 2.3 ===
|
|
|
|
* The readquestions method used to take a second argument $context. However, at
|
|
the point where this method was called, it was impossible to know what
|
|
context the quetsions were going to be saved into, so the value could be
|
|
wrong. Also, none of the standard question formats were using this argument,
|
|
so it was removed. See MDL-32220.
|
|
|
|
=== 2.2 ===
|
|
|
|
* The plugin name used to be defined in a string called the same thing as the
|
|
format, with assoicated help strings, for example:
|
|
|
|
$string['aiken'] = 'Aiken format';
|
|
$string['aiken_help'] = 'This is a simple format ...';
|
|
$string['aiken_link'] = 'qformat/aiken';
|
|
|
|
This needs to be changed to use the standard string name pluginname, as for
|
|
other plugin types.
|
|
|
|
$string['pluginname'] = 'Aiken format';
|
|
$string['pluginname_help'] = 'This is a simple format ...';
|
|
$string['pluginname_link'] = 'qformat/aiken';
|
