I need a slimmed down version of the Multiple choice (multichoice) Question type.
The most important changes will be;
* Separate question type that can be recognized as such as well by name as in the database.
* Simpler version of the edit form with some additional options.
* Only a fixed number of multiple answers possible
As I'd rather not duplicate all the multichoice code and start from there, I was looking at extending the multichoice question type.
But it seems I can get only 'halfway', specifically two of the main classes; the edit form class and question type class do not seem to be extendable in a sensible way because they have a lot of type specific string loading (get_string(..., 'qtype_multichoice')) or database access ($DB->...('question_multichoice', ...))
Unfortunately I don't see a way around this.
Any and all comments are welcomed.
Anne.
