MOODLE_19_STABLE
Moodle 1.9 currently doesn't have a suitable way to import Blackboard tests generated from Examview. With this plugin submission I want to start the process of getting this plugin under revision control so we can begin maintaining it for 1.9 and future versions. Our school district has used this extensively to import question banks including embedded image files..
With the addition of this plugin it will be possible to begin to resolve bugs relating to Moodle's inability to read blackboard .zip file manifests and import embedded media resources.
With 2.0 it will be necessary to utilize the file API to ensure that question images are imported in an appropriate place.
There are several issues that require discussion of the "right way" to do things and will need addressing down the road:
1. This plugin imports images underneath the administrators directory for the root moodle site. This was done as a workaround to allow shared question banks. Normally file.php will not permit one instructor to create a question bank with images existing in their own course moodledata directory that can be accessed by instructors who teach a different course. Therefore shared question banks between teachers is not possible without placing images in a directory accessible by all courses (moodledata/1/questions/)
2. Image links are hard-coded inside the question text, this leaves little flexibility when changing server settings
