Enhancement: Question-writing and question-responding phases

[HuongNV13]

Hi Frank,
We have an enhancement for StudentQuiz as below:

---

Essentially, we need to be able to set 'start' and 'stop' dates for:
a) Creating questions
b) Responding to created questions.
For maximum flexibility, these should be able to work in conditions of:

• Disabled (no change to how the activity works now)
• Enabled, separate phases.
• Enabled, overlapping phases.
• Enabled, with the same time/dates (because someone will try this rather than disabling them).

This should be based on other Moodle Core tools, like Workshop, and be added to the activity set-up form, to look like Figure 1.

Figure 1: Student Quiz settings availability options.

Question creation

• If the availability criteria are not met, the ‘Create new question’ button should be greyed out.
• If before the question submission phase: a message should inform the user when they can start creating questions.
• If after the question submission phase: a message that they can no longer create questions.

Question response

• If the availability criteria are not met, the ‘Start Quiz’ button should be greyed out.
• If before the question response phase: a message should inform the user when they can start answering questions.
• If after the question response phase: a message that users can no longer take quizzes.

The new code was committed to fix Page context error with Unit Test and Travis

Did I understand this correctly? This new feature only disables the buttons but doesn't actually prevent "Create New Question" or "Start Quiz" to be executed?

Hi,
You mean that some Student can view or know the direct link for this function then can access the link directly?
If needed I will create extra code to throw an exception in that case
