One of our moodle instances, version 2.2 hosts 3rd party course vendor content. The courses are provided by Class.com, a k12 education vendor. I have been working with a tech on their side to install a patch on our moodle server that corrects the outputting of certain question types, I assume quiz questions. There have provided me with access to their FTP server and I get to go to their server and download .mbz files for all the courses that we purchased.
But first, I have to apply the patch that they provided. After working out where the patch was, it was not where they said it was on their server, and the instructions I received where incorrect on what to do with the patch file once I got a copy of it. Only slightly incorrect, but that is all it takes. The patch file, once renamed and unzipped resulted in a new folder called renderedMatch, and had all the signatures of a moodle plugin.
I copied the new folder into the webroot\instancename\question\type folder and logged into the instance as admin and it brought up the Plugins check screen. Moodle is good at noticing things, folders, that have been copied into its infrastructure. Under the Plugin name column, it listed Rendered Matching as a Extension to be installed.
I clicked Install and it reported success, looks like it added a new table, qtype_renderedmatch.
We shall see if that is it.
