[Xerte] quizzes - Incorrect data type problem

Tue Oct 6 12:06:49 BST 2009

To test it, add a temporary line below this one:

score =
Math.ceil(quizScoreTracking.sum() / quizScoreTracking.length * 100);

score = "75"

That will test if the system is looking for a string value.

If that doesn't work try 

score = 75

If the first one works, the system wants the value in a string type.

If the second one works, you may have to round the score, as it may want an integer.

I have found this
script in my rlo file but I don’t know if it’s ok.. does anyone
know?

score =
Math.ceil(quizScoreTracking.sum() / quizScoreTracking.length * 100);

if
(pageIcon.templateData.quiz[0].scorm == 'Track Last Score'){

_level0.setValue('cmi.core.score.raw', score);

} else { //only track
the first score

  if
(isNaN(_level0.getValue('cmi.core.score.raw'))){

_level0.setValue('cmi.core.score.raw', score);

  }

}

I am busy
finishing off the testing of a set of Xerte models based on a re-working of the
.rlm files so that the models can be used individually in Xerte, outside of
page templates.

Is there a
new quiz.rlm file as a result of this thread, and if so where can I obtain a
copy?

Kind
regards

So you must have a folder called ‘models’ in
your project?

Hi Jullian

There isn’t any rlm file or models folder in my
files. Am I doing anything wrong? How can I test your attached file?

I noticed also that if I export the lesson in scorm 2004
format I don’t get the error but the grades remain 0.

I’ve asked for lots of things – don’t
always get them! ;-) But that’s great going to test shortly!

Hi Julian

Does that mean the quiz page template does actually send
scores? I was under the impression there wasn’t any score tracking built
in to that template.

Cheers

Ron

Can you swap your quiz.rlm for thoe one attached and see
if it sorts the problem out? It goes in the models folder alongside your rlt. I
was sending a number from Xerte. I’m pretty sure all the SCORM functions
need strings…?

Ok,

That depens on the package. In our case, we call de scorm
functions (setValue, getValue) from our custom interface, an swf. If is the
same with your package, you’ll need the .fla file with the code, not
enough with the compiled .swf file.

But it’s possible de scorm functions are called
from your .rlo file instead, so install Xerte and edit your .rlo file, and look
for the two functions I mentioned before on the script pages.

Sorry I cannot explain better, I use custom autolearned
English J.

To be honest I didn’t create the packages. I
don’t know many things about the creation of scorm packages and xerte.
Can you please tell me how can I check what value is passing in setValue
function?

Are you sure you are passing the correct value to the
setValue function? It expects a number I guess and maybe he gets a null or a
string, whatever, check your code J

Hello

I use moodle
1.9.4 and xerte 2.0 to produce scorm packages  and I’m having a
little problem with the quizzes. I want to keep the score but when I’m
answering the questions and hit the submit button I get the error
“Incorrect data type” and the score remains 0.  Can anyone
help me?

Thanks,

Leo
