[Xerte] How to handle wrong text entries

[Patrick Lockley]

Why not static the text field once the answer is correct?

Or give it a property called correct and once that is true don't add any
more scores?

 

I'm not that good at xwd stuff so I am not sure how easy that is.

Dear List, 

I use the Nottingham template as a base for my modifications. The
template includes a gap fill exercise which uses the textEntry icon. I
want to expand the template to include scoring for right and wrong
fills. Also I want to disable the feedback, because the exercise is used
for a placement test. The only feedback is shown at the end of the test
like "You answered xx of yy questions correct". 
This is what I did: 
- changed the .xwd to contain a checkbox for "Disable Feedback" 
- modified the gapfill.rml not to change the type of the textfield (from
input to dynamic) if the above option is enabled (I don't want to have
the feedback) and disabled the feedback message 
- added a score variable to the script which is played when the entered
text of the textEntry matches the phrase 
This works all fine but I still have a problem: 
- If the user fills in the correct phrase and than changes the entry
again it is still considered as correct. Even worse: if the user changes
the entry again to the correct value the answer is counted again. 
So my question is: How can I detect if the user changes the text entry
to a wrong value? Or perhaps there is another solution for my problem I
haven't thought of?
