MDL-18350 remove backwards compatibility support for question types having their lang strings in the quiz language module.
MDL-16407 settings.php support for question types. Remove the old get_config_options from question types. I don't think anyone was using it.
These are all to do with the combination of the $form->category, and $form->categorymoveto fields on the question editing forms since Moodle 1.9. These are now resolved to a single ->category value in question.php, which simplifies the logic for the individual question types.
MDL-15774 and MDL-12719 errors editing Cloze question
MDL-17105 problems with qustion saving logic.
MDL-18174 'Select from subcategories' option not preserved when editing a random question.
* Implement this in the base class, and
* use this in the shortanswer type as a proof of concept.
This makes writing new question type subclasses a bit easier. Thanks to Oleg Sychev for this code.
Also MDL-17585 Improve layout of manual grading forms to make them look more like formslib forms. The standard trick of stealing the HTML and class names that formslib works, so the standard style rules apply to your form.
And MDL-17568 minor niggles with new queston navigation:
* The bit that scrolls down to the question you just submitted in adaptive mode was not working with random questions.
* Teachers reviewing an open attempt were shown the qusetions as editable, not read only!
Have fixed the formatting in responses report and in statistics report to use the correct formatting for the question type.
Created new functions format_responses and format_response. format_responses works on an array and normally just walks through the array calling format_response.
In the 1.9 branch this is controlled by a new option under Admin -> Experimental. In Moodle 2.0 dev it is not optional, it just works.
The main change is letting the manual grading report know which random questions might need manual grading. MDL-4004 - this depends on the random question under consideration, which requires a new questiontype method.
I also changed the random question code so that I could remove some global variables.
This is an initial implementation that is now at a working state, but with a few things left to do. It seemed like a good idea to commit it before leaving work on Friday night.
* Javadoc comments for most of the code I committed on Friday.
* Implement the get_question_status method.
* Along the way, refactor duplicated logic between two of the question types, questionlib, and the new code - removing inconsistency while doing so.
Also added a drop down box to select question to mark instead of the viewquestions table. The drop down box is available at the top of every page, but only if there is more than one manually gradeable question in the quiz. If there is only one question it is automatically selected for marking.
Also added a new constant QUESTION_EVENTS_GRADED during a general refactoring of UI code in grading report and some improvements to efficiency of SQL in report.
Merged from Moodle 1.9 branch
* Don't let the user set the name for random questions.
* Instead force the name to be "Random (catname)" (localised) whever the question is created or saved.
* When a category is renamed, rename all the random questions in it.
* Remove the restriction that Jamie seems to have added in 1.9 that was preventing the category of random questions from being edited.
