Moodle

The name of the form fields includes the name of the category. Changing category names to category ids solves the problem.

The file to modify is /moodle/grade/lib.php:

• function grade_get_category_weight($course, $category)
  . line 39 change:
  $sql = "SELECT id, weight, drop_x_lowest, bonus_points, hidden, c.id AS cat_id
  FROM {$CFG->prefix}grade_category c
  WHERE c.courseid=$course
  AND c.name='$category'";
  for:
  $sql = "SELECT id, weight, drop_x_lowest, bonus_points, hidden, c.id AS cat_id
  FROM {$CFG->prefix}grade_category c
  WHERE c.courseid=$course
  AND c.id='$category'";

• function grade_set_grade_weights()
  . line 2247 change:
  $submitted_category = optional_param($form_catname);
  for:
  $submitted_category = optional_param($category->id);
  . line 2250 change:
  $weight = grade_get_category_weight($course->id, $category->name);
  for:
  $weight = grade_get_category_weight($course->id, $category->id);
  . line 2257 change:
  $cur_drop = optional_param("drop_x_lowest$form_catname");
  $cur_bonus_points = optional_param("bonus_points$form_catname");
  $cur_hidden = optional_param("hidden$form_catname");
  for:
  $cur_drop = optional_param("drop_x_lowest$category->id");
  $cur_bonus_points = optional_param("bonus_points$category->id");
  $cur_hidden = optional_param("hidden$category->id");

• function grade_display_grade_weights()
  . line 2234 change:
  echo '<tr><td align="center" class="generalboxcontent">'.$category->name.'</td>';
  echo '<td align="center" class="generalboxcontent"><input type="text" size="5" name="'.$form_catname.'" value="'.$val.'" /></td>';

  for
  $form_catid = $category->id;

The file for 1.6 installations changing category name for category ids

After solving the weight problem, we have seen another problem in show qualifications.

After we enter a category with quotes in her name the qualifications are not shown.

I have attached the modified file (grade/lib.php)
