Description

After an upgrade from 1.8.3 to 1.8.5+ (Build: 20080416) we have noticed the following issue with the grade boundaries in the overall feedback area for a quiz:
It is not possible to enter % in the grade boundary fields.
Instructor has to calculate manually what the number for the desired % will be, and then enter it there.

Steps taken:

  • Go to the Quiz settings page (let's imagine that the quiz is out of 20 points)
  • Locate Overall feedback and enter 90% for the first boundary
  • You will get an error message stating "Feedback grade boundaries must be between 0% and 100%. The value you entered in boundary 1 is out of range."
  • To overcome this error, the user has to calculate 90% out of 20, which is 18, and then enter 18 in the first boundary. If he will do so, then the settings will be saved just fine.
  • Now, if you will go back to the same quiz settings page, the fist boundary will miraculously state "90%".
  • If you will try to save the settings - you will get an error message again.

Have tested in FF and IE. Our installation runs on a Quad-core Intel server with RedHat Linux, Apache web server, and MySQL database (if this is needed for the ticket - I can check on versions)

Looks like it is an issue on our end - with the database. I will post an update later.

This issue should be closed as it was caused by problems with locally version controlled source files, not Moodle or the database.

OK, thanks for letting us know. And thanks for caring enough about Moodle to report it here when you thought you had found a bug.
