This plugin adds support to the action logging system introduced by Joomla in Joomla 3.9.
• Site administrator can further review the user actions and adjust the plugin settings according to his preferences.
• This plugin is by default disabled on fresh installations, site admin can enable it if needed. Also the logging actions for Shika will not be tracked if the plugin is disabled.

The Privacy plugin

• The privacy plugin is responsible for processing privacy related requests to Shika. Privacy related requests are related to export and deletion of user data.
• In case of Shika, personal data of customers is required for sales, invoice and taxation purposes.
• This plugin will help site admins drafting their privacy policy by showing in the admin area what all user data Shika collects
• Also, it will let export Shika-user-data with ‘Privacy Tools’ added in Joomla 3.9.0
• This plugin will also delete Shika related data of users with ‘Privacy Tools’ added in Joomla 3.9.0

Partially correct answers in quiz for MCQ type questions 

Site administrators can now create multiple correct answers for MCQ type questions in quiz. User is alloted certain marks when a question is partially answered correctly. Many a times, quizzes have two similar answers, out of which one is the correct answer although the second answer is also not completely wrong. Thus using this feature, marks can be awarded to users for getting the answer partially correct. Users can be awarded partial marks instead of the complete marks for getting the answer partially correct.
