I don't know much about the code of HotPot module. Could it be possible to have autolinks to Glossary?

Hi Teemu,
I would love to help but I am not sure how. Sorry for my ignorance.

Hi!
I am interested too in having the "normal" autolink routine work on Hot Potatoes exercices as on other resources & activities. Could we have this feature please?

So for example, if the phrase "hotpot module" appeared in the quiz, it would be linked to a glossary when it appeared to the student?
Does the quiz module have this functionality?
Yes and yes! (If auto-linking is enabled but not required in particular quiz questions then <nolink> tags are used.)
If you implement glossary auto-linking in Hotpots, you may wish to consider enabling other filters. (Please check Administration >> Configuration >> Filters for a complete list.)
Thanks again for the Hotpot module!

Wow, thanks for all the information everybody.
This "autolinking" certainly looks like a useful feature, and if it is available in the other modules, especially the quiz module, then implementing it in the HotPot module becomes a lot more feasible.
My current plans for development of the HotPot module are:
I'll see if I can get the autolinking done by Christmas. It would make a nice present for everybody!

My current plans for development of the HotPot module are:
- a non-javascript output format for the quizzes that will be suitable for use on mobile phones and PDAs (this development is underway)
- autolinking (and other filters)
- Flash players for the each type of Hot Potatoes quiz (due to be presented at the JALTCALL conference in June 2006)
- Lite Flash players for each
type of quiz (Lite Flash runs on a growing number of mobile phones). I am hoping
these players will not be too difficult to develop after my experience developing the full blown
Flash players

Hi Gordon,
Your HotPot development plans sound great! (Please get in touch if you'd like any help with the Flash player.)
Best wishes for your marathon in November!

Thanks for the kind offer of help with the Flash players Helen.
I'll contact you when the current busy patch has passed.
cheers!
