Force student to type something before ending the exam #515

Closed christianp closed 9 months ago

christianp commented 6 years ago

We always have a handful of students who say that they ended an exam by mistake, because they didn't read the dialog messages.

We could force the students to engage their brains a bit by asking them to type something in a box before they're allowed to end. This could just be the word "end", or something unique to the exam so that they can't claim to have ended the wrong exam by mistake.

To make it so the student needs to type "end", the confirmation dialog to end the exam should have an input box in it.

That will require setting up a new modal, in themes/default/templates/modals.html
Then make a variant of showConfirm that shows the new modal. Call it something like confirmEndExam.
Finally, change the showConfirm call in Numbas.Exam.tryEnd to call the new function.

Hi, thanks for offering! First you should get the Numbas editor running on your computer, so you can test the code. Read our contribution guidelines at https://www.numbas.org.uk/contributing-to-numbas/#contributing-code.

I'll add a rough outline of what needs to be changed to the top of this issue.

Hi I am looking at fixing this issue, but when I do a test run of the new question, I get a 404 error saying the index.html file does not exist. I followed the installation guide, and I was able to get it running, but I get the following error when I do a test run of a new question [

Resolved. I needed to change the settings.py file on my local machine. See issue #610 in the Editor repo
