There seems to be no 'post date' in the plagiarism plugin version about moodledirectv2 HOT 10 CLOSED

Hi Howard, I'll have to look at this and figure something out.

from moodledirectv2.

there's also an issue with the postdate calcs.

If timestart and timedue are both in the future,
and this check runs
$dtpost = ($dtdue <= $dtstart) ? time() : $dtdue;

it sets $dtpost to time() which is earlier than dtstart or dtdue

and so we get this error:
Message: date_due - due date must be after start date date_post - post date must be after start date

from moodledirectv2.

I think this should be:
$now = time();
if ($dtdue <= $dtstart && $dtstart > $now) {
$dtpost = $now
} else {
$dtpost = $dtdue;
}

from moodledirectv2.

I've seen the 'post date must be after start date' message in the cron logs quite a lot, but I'm reasonably sure that the start date wasn't in the future. Having said that, the cron doesn't tell you which submission it is moaning about so it's very hard to tell for certain.

yeah - I noticed it as I had over 50,000 events in a clients queue due to EULA check failures, external entity issues - finally managed to clear all the file upload events tonight (it's taken over 8hrs) but still have a lot of mod_updated calls in a held state due to the post-date issues. Of course these events aren't as important so I'm leaving them for today!

in fact - this might be a better option:
$now = time();
if ($dtdue <= $dtstart) {
if ($dtstart > $now) {
$dtpost = $dtstart;
} else {
$dtpost = $now;
}
} else {
$dtpost = $dtdue;
}

from moodledirectv2.

and after fixing that we end up with problems with dtdue being before dtstart if the dtstart is in the future so we need to change the +1month patch for $dtdue to this:
if ($dtdue <= $dtstart) {
$dtdue = strtotime('+1 month', $dtstart);

    }

The post date will be handled better in the next release. It will take the 'hidden until' value that is set via Gradebook. If that is not set then it will be set to the start date.

from moodledirectv2.

A question about this change: After the Moodle Assignment with PP is created, if an instructor enables or changes the the "hidden until" value via the Gradebook, will that change be reflected in the post date in Turnitin?

from moodledirectv2.

The cron job will change any post dates in Turnitin that require changing. There is also an assignment sync-up done before a submission is made which would make this change.
