Thank you very much Artem for noticing this very nasty bug. I can't believe we did not pick this up when testing 2.1.

Thanks for quick fix

Thanks Tim, this has been integrated now

Tim,

I've attached a screenshot of a problem i've found.

I've moved the questions about, and performed backup and restored them to a different course ('TC' in the screenshot), while editing the question the pics are broken.

The pics weren't broken (preview attempt) in the original backup source after moving them about.

cheers,
Aparup

Helen: this test may need to be added to QA tests.

Apu, please can you attach your backup file.

I don't think this needs to block the weekly release. Although the new code may have bugs, it is still less buggy than the old code. We can release this this week, and then open a new bug for the thing that is still broken, if necessary.

Seems as backup_qtype_match_plugin->get_qtype_fileareas return only 'subquestion' and don't return
'correctfeedback' => 'question_match',
'partiallycorrectfeedback' => 'question_match',
'incorrectfeedback' => 'question_match'

No. The files for the three combined feedback fields belong to the 'question' component because they are shared between many question types. Therefore they are added to the backup in a generic place: https://github.com/timhunt/moodle/compare/MOODLE_21_STABLE...MDL-28618_21#L0R2640

Hmm, some core question types return such feedbacks from get_qtype_fileareas() function.
https://github.com/moodle/moodle/blob/master/question/type/multichoice/backup/moodle2/backup_qtype_multichoice_plugin.class.php#L79
https://github.com/moodle/moodle/blob/master/question/type/calculated/backup/moodle2/backup_qtype_calculated_plugin.class.php#L101
And I thought that it is specific to question type has it such feedbacks or not. I was wrong?

That is before you apply my suggested patch, isn't it.

Tim, i've just attached it the backup.

agreed, the fix does improve things.

I suspect the problem is not unrelated to the message "The questions category "Default for Miscellaneous", originally at system/course category context in backup file, will be created at course context by restore"

We are into very dodgy code there. I'm not suprised it is buggy.

Would someone like to re-test this with questions that are not shared between courses?

Actually, no. When I look at the restored questions, it all seems fine to me.

Nice baby

Can someone independent confirm that restoring Apu's file works for them, and then this can be Closed as tested.

I've tried the restore into one course already having quizzes and so on:

• 3 categories and 3 questions restored:

• "Default for test222", at activity level, 0 questions.
• "Default for t2", at course level, 1 question ("matching").
• "Default for Miscellaneous", at course level, 2 questions ("multi choice" and "pond jumper"). This was the bank originally at category level.

• Possible bug: The course where I've restored the activity backup already had one "Default for Miscellaneous" bank (from a previous restore). After restoring Aparup's backup, I've ended with TWO banks with the same name. Not sure if we should try to reuse the existing one, sounds better here. For your consideration.

• Editing the 3 questions:

• In the "matching" one, I get "powered by moodle" logo (@ correct response feedback), Aparups's monster (@ partially correct) and a reduced image of some fishes (incorrect response).
• In the "multi choice" one, I get the "powered by moodle" logo in all (3) the combined feedback editors.
• In the "pond jumper" one, I don't get any image (nor missing image).

• Doing a new attempt: I complete it and then review it. The feedbacks with images are shown ok.

And that's all. The only point I've found is the duplicated "Default for Miscellaneous" bank. But I think it's unrelated to this.

Ciao

There has never been a limit on identical category names in the past, and no one has ever complained. I think we should leave it until a user complains.

Passing as requested. Thanks!

Sent upstream and closing, many thanks!
