Known Issues

1. Test & Assessment import/export patch for ILIAS 3.5.3

Due to problems with PHP 4 the import and export of question pools and tests is not working properly. In some cases all answers are empty after import or test questions are missing completely. This patch fixes all errors related to these import/export problems. To fix the errors it is necessary to copy the files contained in the zipped patch file (class.ilQTIParser.php, class.ilObjTestGUI.php, class.ilObjQuestionPoolGUI.php) into your assessment/classes directory on your ILIAS server. You must overwrite the existing files of the same name.

Please note that this patch works only on the official ILIAS 3.5.3 version!

2. Glossary export/import problem

When you download a previously generated export file for an existent glossary, the name of the download file is wrong. However, export file names look correct in export file list.

Example:

In export file list shows: 1130325263__1950__glo_6843.zip

When you select it and press download button it tries to download a file named:

xml:1130325263__1950__glo_6843.zip

With html exported files the file name downloaded is like:

html:1130325263__1950__glo_6843.zip

If you try to import a downloaded file ILIAS shows this error:

Zip command failed or import file invalid.
It does not contain a subfolder 'xml:1130324923__1950__glo_6841'.

Workaround: When you rename the downloaded file, omiting 'xml:' or 'html:', import works fine.

The patch file solves the issue permanently:

1. Change to the directory content/classes within your ILIAS installation.

2. Make a backup copy of the existing file class.ilObjGlossaryGUI.php.

3. Download the following patch file and copy it into the directory.

3. Test & Assessment "Postpone question" patch for ILIAS 3.5.3

Postponing a questions leads to unpredictable results in Test&Assessment which could cause wrong question results and questions missing in the sequence of questions for a learner. To correct this behaviour it is strongly recommended to install this patch file over your ILIAS 3.5.3 installation.
To fix postpone problems it is necessary to copy the patch file (class.ilObjTest.php into your assessment/classes directory on your ILIAS server. You must overwrite the existing file of the same name.

Please note that this patch works only on the official ILIAS 3.5.3 version!
