Hotpot (plugin)

Dear Lucia,
thanks very much for sending the "nosave.php" file. I opened it up and, thanks to your hint about "MY SCREEN ENDS HERE", was able to locate the source of the problem.

The drop-down menu for Navigation, "navegação", is defined in the HTML source as follows.

<select id="menunavigation" name="navigation" >
 <option value="1" selected="selected">Barra de navegação do Moodle</option>
 <option value="2">Frame de navegação do Moodle</option>
 <option value="3"><IFRAME> embutido</option>
 <option value="4">Botões da atividade Hot Potatoes</option>
 <option value="5">Um botão simples "Desistir"</option>
 <option value="6">Nenhum</option>
</select>

Notice the <IFRAME> tag. This should appear in the source code as &lt;IFRAME&gt;. However, because it appears as <IFRAME>, the browser gets confused and can't display the page correctly.

To fix it, you need to change the "<IFRAME>" in the "navigation_iframe" string in the hotpot messages file for your language, "pt_br".

In Moodle 1.6, you can edit the hotpot messages file via Moodle:

1. login to Moodle as administrator
2. if necessary, change Moodle's display language to "pt_br"
   
3. from the site's front page, navigate as follows:
   Admin -> Language -> Edit Strings -> hotpot.php
   Administrador -> Idioma -> Editar as expressões -> hotpot.php
   
4. locate the "navigation_iframe" string and change the value to the following:
   &amp;lt;IFRAME&amp;gt; embutido
5. click the [Save changes: hotpot.php] button
   [Salvar mudanças: hotpot.php]
6. confirm you get a "Changes saved" message
   Mudanças gravadas

Notice that in step 4, you need to double-encode the angle-brackets. It looks pretty unreadable, but if you just copy and paste from here to your Moodle site, it should work.

FYI, I have reported this problem on the Moodle bug tracker: MDL-7186

best regards
Gordon
