Upon Moodle 2.8 the option to bulk delete all questions of a quiz
disappeared.
This patch adresses this and reintruduces a bulk action button.
Pushing that button shows a Delete and a Cancel button as well as
two Select all / Deselect all triggers and each and every question
gets a checkbox. The UI is slimmed down and other elements (e.g.
'Repaginate' button and so on) are hidden. Questions can be chosen
and deleted by pushing the Delete button. The bulk action button
is disabled when quiz attempts are present, just like the
'Repaginate' button.
TODO: Behat tests are lacking.
When editing a quiz that is using the require passing grade completion method,
the grade to pass cannot be zero. Since the completion method is locked we
cannot recommend that the completion method is changed (as we do when the quiz
is being created). Instead we have to inform the user that the grade to pass
must not be zero.
Some search areas have been introduced as part of the initial search API
and search engine API implementation.

1. Don't show a warning if there are a limited number of attempts, only
if there is a time limit.
2. Merge that time-limit warning into the same form that is used for
entering a password, etc.
3. Make that form an JavaScript dialogue when you click the start attempt
button.

MOV ['confirmstarttimelimit', 'mod_quiz'], ['confirmstart', 'quizaccess_timelimit']

This is to be consistent with places like forum and book, where if we
have a next link, we also have a previous link.
At the same time I have amended the links/buttons from 'Previous'/'Next'
to 'Previous page'/'Next page' because I think that is clearer.
Also, on the last page of the quiz, I have changed 'Next' to 'Finish
attempt ...' for consistency with the link in the navigation block.

The sections are created on the edit quiz page, and then appear in the
navigation panel when the quiz is being attempted to help students find
their way around.
The 'Shuffle questions' setting has been moved from being per-quiz
to being a per-section.
This commit is actually the joint work of Mahmoud Kassaei and Tim Hunt
from The Open University. We could only use one persons name for the
commit and this time Mahmoud gets the credit/blame.
This feature is designed for use on pracice or formative quizzes.
It is available for quizzes that use Interactive or Immediate feedback
behaviour.
If the teacher turns this on in the quiz settings, then once a student
has finished a question, they get a 'Redo question' button beside the
question. If they click it, then the question they finished is replaced
by a new one so they can try again to practise that particul skill or
bit of knowledge a bit more.
When randomisation is involved, the studnets will be given a question or
variant that they have not seen before if possible.
Further improvements to this code, including resolving edge cases:
* The new feature can only be used when it is possible for the
previous question in the quiz to be complete.
* Also, this new feature cannot be used in combination with shuffle
questions, because that make no sense; nor in combination with
sequential navigation, because to make that work properly would be a lot
of effort. If someone needs that to work later, it should be possible
for them to implement it.
* There were changes in the edit renderer API, to try to make things
more consistent, and to make it less likely we will need to change
things again in the future. See mod/quiz/upgrade.txt.
* As part of this change, the styling of the Edit quiz page was tweaked
to make slighly more efficient use of the horizontal space, and to be
more symmetrical.
Now this setting type is available, it is a better UI.
This required a new setting class
admin_setting_configduration_with_advanced.
Also, I took the liberty of shortening the default auto-save delay to 1
minute, and re-wording the description of that setting, now that it can
be changed to any value.
The approach is that we have a new JavaScript function
M.mod_quiz.resource_toolbox.reorganise_edit_page which, after a ajax
action, fixes up everything like page breaks, page and question numbers,
that might now be wrong.
We call that function instead of reloading the page.
Also, there are a lot more Behat tests to verify this works correctly.

This commit is actually the joint work of Mahmoud Kassaei, Colin
Chambers and Tim Hunt from The Open University. We could only use one
persons name for the commit, and this time Colin gets the credit/blame.
The goal of this work was to increase usability, and also clean up
the page enough that it will be possible to add new features in future.
Display of mod/quiz/edit.php is now entirely generated by
mod_quiz\output\edit_renderer. This uses a helper class
mod_quiz\structure to provide details of the structure of the quiz, and
mod_quiz\repaginate to alter that structure. (Acutally, there are still
some modification methods on mod_quiz\structure. Expect that to be
cleaned up in future.)
The new code uses much more ajax, and there are new scripts
mod/quiz/edit_rest.php and mod/quiz/repaginate.php to handle this.
(Again, don't be surprised if those two scripts get merged in future.)
Also questionbank.ajax.php (which may, in future, be made more generic,
and moved into the core question bank code.)
Most of the new JavaScript code has intentionally copied the way things
are done when editing activities on the course page.
As a result of this, mod/quiz/editlib.php is now much shorter than it
was. (In future, expect the remaining code in here to move into
mod/quiz/classes.)
These strings have already been copied from mod_quiz to qtype_numerical but
in the qtype_numerical plugin code the translations from mod_quiz were used.
Even though the strings were already present we copy the translations.
AMOS BEGIN
CPY [invalidnumericanswer,mod_quiz],[invalidnumericanswer,qtype_numerical]
CPY [multiplier,mod_quiz],[qtype_numerical]
CPY [invalidnumerictolerance,mod_quiz],[qtype_numerical]

This patch adds completion options to Quiz similar to what is available in scorm.
One can have the quiz marked complete when either a passing grade is achieved or
all attempts are used up. This will allow a quiz to complete when the user "passes
or fails". (Where "fail" means "using up all attempts without passing".)
When the auto-save fails, we alert the user that they may have lost their
internet connection so that they don't do more work that they might just
lose.
