Where is the latest version of template? - moodle

I need to build a custom type of question for Moodle 2.8
The only place I could find a question template is at:
https://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=443&filter=1
But, when I downloaded the template, in the READ ME file:
'''WARNING, THIS TEMPLATE IS NOT COMPLETE YET!'''
So, AM I looking in the wrong place for the template? I've also noticed that
the tempalte Requires: Moodle 1.7 or later, so it might be a bit old..
Any advice?

That's a link in the old plugins directory.
There are some notes here for creating a question type in Moodle 2.x : https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Question_types
A template can be cloned from here : https://github.com/jamiepratt/moodle-qtype_TEMPLATE/

Where can I safely download older TYPO3 releases?

Back then, I was able to download older subversions of TYPO3 CMS on SourceForge which saved me a lot of time and anger.
Now I am facing a problem and I think it is a bug in the current used version. I would like to test it with an other instance, but as it seems it is not being stored anywhere. I will use an vulnerable version for now, but that is not what I actually want.
Maybe I've overseen a link or something. Do you know where I could find a list of all downloadable TYPO3 Versions? I know I can google it, but I don't want to use 3rd party sources ether...
I'd say that TYPO3 on SourceForge should still be updated...
All versions can be downloaded from get.typo3.org directly. Example for a very old 4.5:
wget --content-disposition https://get.typo3.org/4.5.38
You can use https://get.typo3.org/ for this. Simply append the version number to the URL to download the desired version, e.g. https://get.typo3.org/8.7.15 to download version 8.7.15 of TYPO3 (8.7.16 is the latest ATM.)
If you use Composer you can enforce a downgrade with something like this:
composer require typo3/cms 8.7.15
Or:
composer require typo3/cms-core:8.7.15 typo3/cms-backend:8.7.15 ...
Notice that this replaces the version constraint in your Composer manifest with a fixed version which should be changed back as soon as possible.

C1Chart and custom field in C1ReportDesigner

I am getting an error: "Failed to create custom field 'C1.C1Report.CustomFields.Chart’ from assembly 'c1.c1report.customfields.4′."
I am using ComponentOne Studio for ASPNET_2011
I have troubleshoot almost everything that were suggested in the forum.
I am creating a Report Defination(xml) template using C1ReportDesigner. The Report defination contains some subreports and Custom Filed for Chart. The report works fine with the C1ReportDesigner Preview, but when I am using the same template in web forms 4.0 using C1ReportViewer it givers me the above mentioned error. Without CustomField (Chart) it won’t gives me error.
I have mentioned the versions of the dll’s below:
C1ReportDesigner Details
Designer Version: 4.6.20111.54308 C1Report Version: 4.6.20111.54308
C1.C1Report.CustomFields.4.dll —–> 4.6.20101.1 C1.C1Report.4.dll —–>
4.6.20111.54308 (\ComponentOne\Studio for ASP.NET\ReportingTools\Designer.4) C1.C1Report.4.dll —–>
4.6.20111.54307 (\ComponentOne\Studio for ASP.NET\bin\v4) C1.Win.C1Chart.4.dll —-> 4.0.20101.20119 (\ComponentOne\Studio for
ASP.NET\ReportingTools\Designer.4
WebApplication(Project) Dll’s
//C1.C1Report.4.dll —–> 4.6.20111.54307
//C1.C1Report.CustomFields.4.dll —–> 4.6.20101.1
//C1.Win.C1Chart.4.dll —> 4.0.20111.21027
I have added the Custom Field dll in the project as suggested in the forum but its not working. Please help!!!!!!
The issue seems to be due to incorrect version of the chart dll used.
The CustomField dll used is of 10v1 while the version of the C1Chart dll is 11v1 (ie. a later one).
Hence, adding the references of the latest versions of the C1Chart won’t serve the purpose as the CustomFields dll would not be able to refer to this chart dll. You need to add the dll(s) of the version of controls that come packaged with the C1ReportDesigner and are in sync with the version of the dll used by the CustomField project.
You may refer to the following forum post for the complete detail/information on this :

Eclipse/MapReduce plugin

I've been searching for a MapReduce plugin for eclipse, but most of them didn't work for me. The only one that did work had the old API's template when creating Mappers/Reducers/Drivers.
So I thought I'll compile one myself, which unfortunately uses the same "old API" as the default template which gives errors. Even with the newest alpha and beta (2.0.3 and 2.0.4) versions of Hadoop.
I got it working. I've changed the source of $HADOOP_HOME/src/contrib/eclipse_plugin and then compiled it with Hadoop 1.2.0. I thought I'd share it but didn't know where. The only place that came to my mind was StackOverflow, so sorry if this isn't the place.
So here it is, Hadoop Eclipse Plugin with the new API template:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/y990pp610t3edfo/hadoop-eclipse-plugin-1.2.0-newapi.jar
If someone wants to compile it himself I'll post the source codes too, which are only 3 more *.java files. Just ask.

Custom Plugin Not Showing Up In The List (works fine while debugging - not when deployed through deploy.bat)

I am currently having an issue with my plugin not being displayed in the plugin list within admin.
When I run this straight from VS2010 is works perfectly. I have checked and the description file appears to be OK and the plugin is present in the plugins folder once deployed (using the deploy.bat).
I have noticed there is a massive list of DLLs being deployed with the plugin but don't think that is the issue (although it would be nice to tidy that up to - all references are set to do not copy)
Are there any other things I could be missing? I am fairly new to development and have checked al the things that seem to be obvious to me.
I have already read and checked the following:
http://www.nopcommerce.com/boards/t/13404/plugin-not-showhing-up-in-plugin-list.aspx
http://www.nopcommerce.com/boards/t/14259/plugin-not-copied-to-deploy.aspx
Any assistance will be massively appreciated!
Have you properly documented yor plugin code?
<?php<br>
/*<br>

This ended up being the publishing to different IIS site without realising so it was updating the DLL in the wrong folder...

Upgrade N2CMS to latest version collected from github trunk

I am upgrading an old N2CMS website to the newest version released in the trunk (2.2.5 or something like that), following these instructions https://github.com/n2cms/n2cms/blob/master/docs/releases/upgrade_2.2.1.txt but i am getting an error when tring to compile the project:
Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information.
Has anyone done this before and know if there's anything else i should be doing appart from just copying files?
Thanks
Complete text of this error contains the name of DLL you are missing. Read it carefully and you will find out what DLL you need to add. It could be something like Lucene.dll which was introduced recently (it depends how old your project is).
