An interface that integrates with Moodle's existing HTML editor (HTMLArea in 1.9 and [[TinyMCE]] in 2.x) to support teachers in creating [[Cloze]] (Embedded answers) questions in the [[GIFT]] syntax.


==Download==
Please choose one of the following:
* You can download specific versions for Moodle 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4 up to 2.6 from [https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=tinymce_clozeeditor].
* This plugin also works in Moodle 2.7DEV versions as long as they still use the TinyMCE (not the Atto) editor.


*[[Cloze editor for Atto]], if you use the Atto default editor for Moodle 2.7 upwards.
*[[Cloze editor for TinyMCE]] - if you use the old TinyMCE text editor.


==Overview==


The integration (PHP/javascript) is essentially a new button in the HTML editor which brings up an interface that helps create CLOZE questions in the correct syntax. It will also read and edit existing CLOZE items (which you have selected with your cursor).


Here's a demonstrator (which can also be used to create your own CLOZE quizzes):

==Installation instructions==
===Installation for Moodle 1.9 version===
 
# Unzip
# copy to your '''moodleroot''' directory, keeping the directory structure
 
The following files in your original Moodle installation will be overwritten with mod'd files (so make sure to BACK THEM UP before):
 
lib/weblib.php *
lib/editor/htmlarea/htmlarea.php
lib/editor/htmlarea/dialog.js
 
* Overwriting the '''weblib.php''' file is OPTIONAL:
 
* If you choose to include this modified '''weblib.php''' file, the CLOZE-editor button will only show for teachers, and only in question-interfaces. In any other editor instances, and for students, it will be hidden. This is very convenient :)
 
* If you refrain from overwriting the '''weblib.php''' file, the cloze editor plugin will still work, but the editor button will be visible in EVERY editor instance for teachers, but not for students. This might be disconcertirg for some teachers :(
 
===Installation for Moodle 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3===
 
# Unzip.
# Copy the CONTENTS (excluding version.php!) of the directory '''clozeeditor''' to the directory '''lib/editor/tinymce''' on your Moodle installation, keeping the directory structure.
 
'''ATTENTION''': DO '''NOT''' OVERWRITE '''lib/editor/tinymce/version.php''' as this would break TinyMCE; the version.php in the download package can be ignored/deleted.
 
The following file in your installation will be OVERWRITTEN with a mod'd file (so make sure to BACK IT UP):
 
lib/editor/tinymce/lib.php
 
===Installation for Moodle 2.4 and higher versions===
# Unzip
# Copy the contents of the directory to the directory '''lib/editor/tinymce/plugins''' on your Moodle installation, keeping the directory structure.
# Visit ' Administration > Site Administration > Notifications '
# Finish the installation process by clicking on the 'Upgrade Moodle database now' button.
 
===Installation for Moodle 2.5 and higher versions===
 
* As of Moodle version 2.5, the plugin can be deployed from within Moodle, by uploading the cloze editor ZIP file (see https://docs.moodle.org/25/en/Installing_add-ons#Installing_via_uploaded_ZIP_file).
# Download the cloze editor ZIP-package from [https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=tinymce_clozeeditor the Moodle plugins database]
# In your Moodle "Site Administration" menu, go to "Plugins/Install add-ons"
# Look for the "Install add-on from ZIP file"  section
# Select "TinyMCE HTML editor / tinymce (tinymce)" as "Plugin type"
# Drag and drop (or choose location and upload to server) the "clozeeditor.zip" file inside the ZIP package area
[[File:254 install from ZIP file.png|300px]]
# Tick the acknowledgement statement check box
# At the add-on package validation, if everything is OK, click on the "Install add-on!" button
# If the screen goes blank and the installation pauses, hit the "Update screen" key (F5) as many times (about 5) as needed
# At the Plugins check window, click on the "Upgrade Moodle database now" button
# At the Final window showing Success, click on the "Continue" button
 
==Using the cloze editor==
* We will be asking the students to choose the correct word used in a poem by Emily Dickinson:
* The cloze editor button is a small yellow question mark in the HTML editor.
[[File:Cloze editor symbol.png]]
* Write a small text (e.g, the poem) in the HTML editor
[[File:to make a prairie_1.png|400px]]
* Select a word to be replaced by a CLOZE (in this case, '''bee''')
[[File:to make a prairie_2.png|400px]]
* Click on the small yellow question mark [[File:Cloze editor symbol small.png]]
* Choose the type of CLOZE sub-question format that you want (in this case, a drop-down menu in-line in the text)
[[File:to make a prairie_3.png|400px]]
* The correct answer has been placed automatically.
* Check it and write some feedback if you want
[[File:to make a prairie_3.png|400px]]
* Fill in the wrong answers (if any)
[[File:to make a prairie_4.png|400px]]
* Click on the 'Insert' button to process
[[File:to make a prairie_5.png|400px]]
* The correct CLOZE syntax will be shown within the editor window
[[File:to make a prairie_6.png|400px]]
* Save the question
* Check that the question works as intended
[[File:to make a prairie_7.png|400px]]
 
===Editing existing CLOZE items===
* Select an existing CLOZE item with your cursor (including the curly outer brackets). Then click on the small yellow question mark. The editor will come up, with the fields correctly populated for this item.
 
==The cloze editor button and Moodle roles==
 
* The CLOZE-editor button in Moodle 2.x will show for teachers and students alike, every time they use the HTML editor, even when they are writing something else not related to a cloze question (e.g: a forum post).
 
==Other languages==
 
* If you make a [[Language customization]], you can have the cloze editor in your preferred language.
* The following image shows a mexican spanish translation of the English language strings of this add-on.
[[File:cloze editor language customization.png|600px]]
* And here are the translated strings being used inside the plugin:
