==Change export/import function and file structure==


As described in the first paragraph, the file structure is described as follows: a description of the category, followed by this categories questions. An example is described in "Current save in XML file".
Import function does not need to be changed. Importing several question categories works correctly.  


If this method is used in Moodle now, then I can also use it.
Export function needs to be corrected. Now only one question category exported.  


But if you want to save the connection question and category, I can add a property "parent" to the tag "question". For example, "<question type="cloze" parent="По умолчанию для Главная страница/My first category">".
Now Moodle has the structure of the file described below.


What variant is better? And in that and in other case, support the existing file format is preserved.
In the file category describes then questions describes which belong to the category then next category describes etc. This structure of the file is suitable for export of several question categories. A structure can be represented visually as
 
[Description category1]
 
[Description first question of category1]
 
[Description second question of category1]
 
[Description third question of category1]
 
[Description category2]
 
[Description first question of category2]
 
[Description second question of category2]

To achieve the desired result, I have to use it.

Change export/import function and file structure

Import function does not need to be changed. Importing several question categories works correctly.

Export function needs to be corrected. Now only one question category exported.

Now Moodle has the structure of the file described below.

In the file category describes then questions describes which belong to the category then next category describes etc. This structure of the file is suitable for export of several question categories. A structure can be represented visually as

[Description category1]

[Description first question of category1]

[Description second question of category1]

[Description third question of category1]

[Description category2]

[Description first question of category2]

[Description second question of category2]
