Simple progressive disclosure in a form

This will store the information in a session, about in which state the form was left, so if you press the 'Show advanced' button once, you will see the advanced controls shown anytime you come back to the form.

Example

the form before pressing the "show advanced" button
the form after pressing the "show advanced" button

Address (URL) of this example

/course/modedit.php?update=2&return=1

(add a link here to an actual demo installation? if so, that would have to keep its urls forever, i.e. probably have a moodle version installed that doesn't get upgraded)

How to access this screen

  • Create a quiz in a course, and open it. The configuration form will be shown
  • Alternatively, open an existing quiz as a teacher and press the "Update this quiz" button
