Description

In the question form, we can select the category. However, there should be a possibility to select several categories in one shot, with a multiple select.

Implement the multiple select and make sure the classes/methods behind it enable picking several categories at the same time.

This should go into Chamilo 1.9.4 as it shouldn't require any database change.

  • Target version changed from 1.9.4 to 2.0

The table:

mysql> describe c_quiz_question_rel_category;
+-------------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field       | Type    | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| c_id        | int(11) | NO   | PRI | NULL    |       |
| question_id | int(11) | NO   | PRI | NULL    |       |
| category_id | int(11) | NO   |     | NULL    |       |
+-------------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Needs an id in order to allow multiple categories.

I'm moving this to 1.10

I also suggest to move this to 1.10 in order to leave the exercise code as stable as possible at least for the 1.9.x series

Good for me.

How does it work if you have a test using random question by categories and if a question own of 2 categories ?

Question 1 : 1+1=? [category Math]
Question 2 : mc²=? [category PHYSIC]
Question 3 : c=300000km/s ; c²=? [category MATH] [category PHYSIC]

If I create a test random by category with 1 question of each category, I'll have 1 MATH question and 1 PHYSIC question. It is important not to have a test with twice question 3.

Julio, the unique ID was not really necessary, was it? Is that for the ORM or something like that?

If you have a test with random categories and one question belongs to 2 categories, then the first ocurrence of this question puts the question ID in an "exceptions" array which ensures it will only be found in the first category where it had to appear. There no other way I can think of.

yes it was necessary, mysql prompted me errors when trying to insert several categories for a question the problem was in the primary key.

It seems strange to me, as the combination of category+question should be unique by itself, so it shouldn't be a problem for the primary key.
Like:
Category Question
3 5
3 6
4 5
5 5

-> there's never a problem with question 5 being part of categories 3,4 and 5 at the same time, or is there???

This being said, I don't mind. At all. It just seemed strange to me.

This was the old structure:

$sql = "CREATE TABLE `".$table_quiz_question_rel_category . "` (
      $add_to_all_tables
      question_id int NOT NULL,
      category_id int NOT NULL,
      PRIMARY KEY (c_id,question_id)
    )" . $charset_clause;
    Database::query($sql);

So according to this you can't have 2 keys with the same "c_id" and "question_id" that was the reason it failed before.
