Could someone clarify if Hot Potatoes is included when 2.1.1+ is installed. There doesn't appear to be an option to enable it as there was in Moodle 1.9.
If not included in istall could someone explain how this can be done. I am a Post-primary teacher and find this option invaluable.
Hello
The HotPot module is not included in the standard install of Moodle 2.x.
You need to install it "by hand" like this:

P.S. What do the three question marks, "???", in the title of this thread mean?
Thanks Gordon for your prompt and precise responce. Will post when I get it completed. I wasn't sure if my version was as stated, hence the question marks. Have since confirmed that I am using version 2.1.1+
works perfectly, thank you very much.
It's exactly what I wanted

Hello Gordon, yesterday I managed to install the module hotpotatoes, but the cage where I load the file, it is charging and is not activated:
Do you know that is?
Best regards
Vinicio,
your screenshot is for the SCORM module. The SCORM module and the HotPot module are different modules.
You do not need the SCORM module to put your Hot Potatoes quizzes into Moodle. Instead, I suggest you use the HotPot module.
If you want to add your Hot Potatoes quizzes to Moodle using the HotPot module, then you should choose "HotPot" from the "Add a new activity" menu on the course page.

Hello
When I download and unzip your file 'HotPot module for Moodle 2.x I do not find two folders 'hotpot' and 'question', I find two folders 'mod' and 'question', with a hotpot folder inside each of these. Perhaps your instructions need tweaking? It's a real shame the popular HotPot module is no longer installed by default (at least not in my version which I think is 2.0 - how do I check the version number, by the way?).

Hi Nigel,
please put "mod/hotpot" from the zip file into "mod/hotpot" on your Moodle site.
And similarly, put "question/format/hotpot" into "question/format/hotpot" on your Moodle site.
all the best
Gordon
Hi Gordon,
I'm using Moodle 2.2. I've tried to download the hot potatoes module, but the server seems to be down. I'd appreciate if you provide me other method to download the hot potatoes module.
Thank you very much.
All the best,
Javier.
Hi Gordon,
Thank you very much for your information and for your fast answer.
Best regards,
Javier Bravo.
Hi Gordon,
I try this new version for the HotPot module. As you can imagine, for teaching people Hot Potatoes is an useful tool, so thank you for your development.
Best regards,
Javier.
