Description

This is a small patch that duplicates the "Prevent Late Submissions" feature of assignments. The wording is confusing in that the benefit of this patch is that it allows quizzes to be submitted past the closing date.

Further development of this patch could allow automatic demerit of points based upon the tardiness of the quiz submission.

Two problems with your patch.

First, it won't actually work, because there is code in lib/questionlib.php that automatically grades stuff as 0 if it is submitted late. You need to deal with that too.

Second, this bit of code was completely rewritten in Moodle 2.0, and since this is a new feature, it needs to go into Moodle 2.0, not on the stable branch.

Apart from that, it is a potentially useful feature. Don't let me put you off

I would encourage you to post in the Quiz forum http://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?f=121, to find out what other people think about this idea.

I created a new ticket because MDL-4309 is specific to version 1.5.2 while mine is 1.9.3+. Should issues within the main releases (1.X.X) be consolidated into single tickets with disregard to minor and bugfix releases?

Affects version is not really significant for feature requests. It's main purpose is when reporting a bug, to record exactly which version the bug was observed in.

Duplicates just clutter up the database. A new feature is only ever going to be implemented once, and will almost certainly only be added to the latest release.
