How do I change default opening of Hot Potato quiz to show all questions

How do I change default opening of Hot Potato quiz to show all questions

I was wondering if anybody could help me with an issue I'm having. About four years ago, I found the code so that the default presentation of a hot potato quiz was with all the questions showing on opening - as opposed to the normal opening with only one question showing.

Unfortunately, I can't find the original website that had the hack I'd need to do. Does anybody know what the hack is and can I use the same hack for moodle?

Hi Alan,

I surmise we are talking about JQuiz. Is that right?

If yes, then you can force the quiz to start with all questions showing if you do the following:

  1. if you haven't done so already, open JQuiz and generate the HTML file for the quiz
  2. open the quiz's HTML file with a text editor
  3. locate the "SetUpQuestions" function:
    • search for "function SetUpQuestions()"
  4. locate the following last line in the "SetUpQuestions()" function
    • search for "SetFocusToTextbox()"
  5. insert the following line, above the "SetFocusToTextbox()" line
    • ShowHideQuestions(); 
  6. save the file and close your text editor

Now you can use this HTML file as the "Source file" for your HotPot activity in Moodle.

best regards
Gordon
