Description
Adding group element to the function lib/formslib.php/repeat_elements() would improve its flexibility.
Developping an improved question units interface MDL-4474 shows the limit of the actual function.
The group element sructure is more complex than the single element (i.e. text ) and the first difficulty is related to the creation of the multiple elements step
Actual code use clone() to create the copy.
Internal element are not copied and all the cloned group element refers to the original internal element.
clone()should be replaced by fullclone().

Other repeated elements functions should also be tested.
The work on question units will be used to test if other code improvments are necessary.

The internal group elements are refered as
if (!empty($units)) {
foreach ($units as $key => $unit){
$default_values['unit['.$key.']'] = $unit->unit;
if ($unit->multiplier < (1.0-0.0001) ){ $default_values['forceregenerationgrp['.$key.'][mult]'] = 1; }else { $default_values['forceregenerationgrp['.$key.'][mult]'] = 0; }
$default_values['forceregenerationgrp['.$key.'][multiplier]'] = $unit->multiplier;
if(!isset($unit->units_penalty) || $unit->units_penalty == '') { $default_values['forceregenerationgrp['.$key.'][penalty]'] = ($key+1) * 0.1 ;//0.0 ; } else { $default_values['forceregenerationgrp['.$key.'][penalty]'] = $unit->units_penalty; }
}
}
they should be build like
$minmaxgrp = array();
$minmaxgrp[] =& $mform->createElement('radio', "mult",null ,get_string('', 'qtype_datasetdependent'), 1);
$minmaxgrp[] =& $mform->createElement('text', "multiplier", "", '', false);
$minmaxgrp[] =& $mform->createElement('static','pen', "", get_string('Penalty = 1.0 i.e. the unit is mandatory ', 'qtype_datasetdependent'));
$repeated[] =& $mform->createElement('group','forceregenerationgrp',"",$minmaxgrp, "", true);
The fifth element should be set to true i.e. the groupname is appended to the interan elements name.
When set to false so that their name does not include the group name, the actual code does not renamed them correctly i.e does not append the [0] ,[1] etc index.
In save_question_options() they need to be retrieved as
if(isset($question->forceregenerationgrp) && is_array($question->forceregenerationgrp)){
foreach ($question->forceregenerationgrp as $key => $forceregeneration) {
if($forceregeneration['mult'] == 1) { $question->multiplier[$key] = $forceregeneration['multiplier'] ; $question->units_penalty[$key]= 1.0 ; }else { $question->multiplier[$key]= 1.0 ; $question->units_penalty[$key]= $forceregeneration['penalty'] ; }
}
}
