Parameters

mod_quiz_mod_form	$quizform	the quiz settings form that is being built.
MoodleQuickForm	$mform	the wrapped MoodleQuickForm.

Reimplemented in quizaccess_offlineattempts.

◆ attempt_must_be_in_popup()

quiz_access_rule_base::attempt_must_be_in_popup ( )

inherited

Return values

boolean whether this rule requires that the attemp (and review) pages must be displayed in a pop-up window.

quizaccess_delaybetweenattempts::compute_next_start_time	(	$numprevattempts,
		$lastattempt
	)

object	$lastattempt	information about the previous attempt.

Return values

number the time.

◆ current_attempt_finished()

quiz_access_rule_base::current_attempt_finished ( )

inherited

This is called when the current attempt at the quiz is finished.

This is used, for example by the password rule, to clear the flag in the session.

Reimplemented in quizaccess_password, and quizaccess_offlineattempts.

◆ delete_settings()

static quiz_access_rule_base::delete_settings ( $quiz )

staticinherited

Delete any rule-specific settings when the quiz is deleted.

This is called from quiz_delete_instance() in lib.php.

Parameters

object $quiz the data from the database, including $quiz->id which is the id of the quiz being deleted.

Since: Moodle 2.7.1, 2.6.4, 2.5.7

◆ description()

quiz_access_rule_base::description ( )

inherited

Information, such as might be shown on the quiz view page, relating to this restriction.

There is no obligation to return anything. If it is not appropriate to tell students about this rule, then just return ''.

Return values

mixed a message, or array of messages, explaining the restriction (may be '' if no message is appropriate).

Reimplemented in quizaccess_timelimit, quizaccess_safebrowser, quizaccess_password, quizaccess_openclosedate, and quizaccess_numattempts.

◆ end_time()

quiz_access_rule_base::end_time ( $attempt )

inherited

If, because of this rule, the user has to finish their attempt by a certain time, you should override this method to return the attempt end time.

Parameters

object $attempt the current attempt

Return values

mixed the attempt close time, or false if there is no close time.

Reimplemented in quizaccess_timelimit, and quizaccess_openclosedate.

◆ get_browser_security_choices()

static quiz_access_rule_base::get_browser_security_choices ( )

staticinherited

array key => lang string any choices to add to the quiz Browser security settings menu.

Reimplemented in quizaccess_securewindow, and quizaccess_safebrowser.

◆ get_extra_settings()

static quiz_access_rule_base::get_extra_settings ( $quizid )

staticinherited

You can use this method to load any extra settings your plugin has that cannot be loaded efficiently with get_settings_sql().

Parameters

int $quizid the quiz id.

Return values

array setting value name => value. The value names should all start with the name of your plugin to avoid collisions.

◆ get_popup_options()

quiz_access_rule_base::get_popup_options ( )

inherited

Return values

array any options that are required for showing the attempt page in a popup window.

Reimplemented in quizaccess_securewindow.

◆ get_settings_sql()

static quiz_access_rule_base::get_settings_sql ( $quizid )

staticinherited

Return the bits of SQL needed to load all the settings from all the access plugins in one DB query.

The easiest way to understand what you need to do here is probalby to read the code of quiz_access_manager::load_settings().

If you have some settings that cannot be loaded in this way, then you can use the get_extra_settings() method instead, but that has performance implications.

Parameters

int $quizid the id of the quiz we are loading settings for. This can also be accessed as quiz.id in the SQL. (quiz is a table alisas for {quiz}.)

Return values

array

with three elements:

fields: any fields to add to the select list. These should be alised if neccessary so that the field name starts the name of the plugin.
joins: any joins (should probably be LEFT JOINS) with other tables that are needed.
params: array of placeholder values that are needed by the SQL. You must used named placeholders, and the placeholder names should start with the plugin name, to avoid collisions.

◆ get_superceded_rules()

quiz_access_rule_base::get_superceded_rules ( )

inherited

It is possible for one rule to override other rules.

The aim is that third-party rules should be able to replace sandard rules if they want. See, for example MDL-13592.

Return values

array plugin names of other rules that this one replaces. For example array('ipaddress', 'password').

◆ is_finished()

quizaccess_delaybetweenattempts::is_finished	(	$numprevattempts,
		$lastattempt
	)

If this rule can determine that this user will never be allowed another attempt at this quiz, then return true.

This is used so we can know whether to display a final grade on the view page. This will only be called if there is not a currently active attempt for this user.

Parameters

int	$numattempts	the number of previous attempts this user has made.
object	$lastattempt	information about the user's last completed attempt.

Return values

bool	true if this rule means that this user will never be allowed another attempt at this quiz.

Reimplemented from quiz_access_rule_base.

◆ is_preflight_check_required()

quiz_access_rule_base::is_preflight_check_required ( $attemptid )

inherited

Parameters

int | null $attemptid the id of the current attempt, if there is one, otherwise null.

Return values

bool	whether a check is required before the user starts/continues their attempt.

Reimplemented in quizaccess_timelimit, quizaccess_password, and quizaccess_offlineattempts.

◆ make()

static quizaccess_delaybetweenattempts::make	(	quiz	$quizobj,
			$timenow,
			$canignoretimelimits
	)

static

Return an appropriately configured instance of this rule, if it is applicable to the given quiz, otherwise return null.

Parameters

quiz	$quizobj	information about the quiz in question.
int	$timenow	the time that should be considered as 'now'.
bool	$canignoretimelimits	whether the current user is exempt from time limits by the mod/quiz:ignoretimelimits capability.

Return values

quiz_access_rule_base|null the rule, if applicable, else null.

Reimplemented from quiz_access_rule_base.

◆ notify_preflight_check_passed()

quiz_access_rule_base::notify_preflight_check_passed ( $attemptid )

inherited

The pre-flight check has passed.

This is a chance to record that fact in some way.

Parameters

int | null $attemptid the id of the current attempt, if there is one, otherwise null.

Reimplemented in quizaccess_password, and quizaccess_offlineattempts.

◆ prevent_access()

quiz_access_rule_base::prevent_access ( )

inherited

Whether the user should be blocked from starting a new attempt or continuing an attempt now.

Return values

string false if access should be allowed, a message explaining the reason if access should be prevented.

Reimplemented in quizaccess_safebrowser, quizaccess_openclosedate, and quizaccess_ipaddress.

◆ prevent_new_attempt()

quizaccess_delaybetweenattempts::prevent_new_attempt	(	$numprevattempts,

◆ setup_attempt_page()

quiz_access_rule_base::setup_attempt_page ( $page )

inherited

Sets up the attempt (review or summary) page with any special extra properties required by this rule.

quiz_access_rule_base::time_left_display	(	$attempt,
		$timenow
	)

inherited

If the user should be shown a different amount of time than $timenow - $this->end_time(), then override this method.

This is useful if the time remaining is large enough to be omitted.

Parameters

object	$attempt	the current attempt
int	$timenow	the time now. We don't use $this->timenow, so we can give the user a more accurate indication of how much time is left.

Return values

mixed the time left in seconds (can be negative) or false if there is no limit.

Reimplemented in quizaccess_timelimit, and quizaccess_openclosedate.

◆ validate_preflight_check()

quiz_access_rule_base::validate_preflight_check	(	$data,
