Bugs in content types

In the quiz Question set, even though I am not checking the randomize questions, but the activity type randomizes my questions anyway.

There's one randomize option for the question set which will randomize the order of all the different question types that you included (multiple choice, true-false, etc.). That is labeled "randomize questions".

There may also be a randomization option for the question type itself, e. g. with multiple choice for shuffling the answers. The label reads "randomize answers".

Have you possibly confused both?

Thanks for replying - I didn't confuse them - each question has an option to randomize answers, but the entire set, as you've pointed out, has the option of randomizing questions. We have only included one question type (multiple choice), and did not check of the option of randomizing questions - yet still H5P randomizes the questions. Maybe the option is only to randomize the question types, but within a question type (e.g., multiple choice), it randomizes them autamatically?

I'll have a closer look at the content type tomorrow. Just hopped out of a plane ...

Hi Akaskens,

I am unable to reproduce the issue that you are reporting. Can you please check this sample content that I created if you encounter the problem that you are describing. If not there may be a setting or 2 in your Question Set that is different from mine. Feel free to download the sample so that it will be easy to compare.

I can support BV52 here. I also cannot reproduce the behavior. In my sample content, I didn't check "randomize questions" and as you will see, they're in perfect order.

thanks so much. In comparing your and my content, I was able to see that we had a "10" in the setting directly underneath "randomize questions," which treats the questions as a batch of 10 (or any number) and randomizes them. I removed the number 10 and it worked fine.

Hi akaskens,

I'm glad that it's working fine now. If you have any other questions feel free to post in the forum.
