please tell us:
Also, if possible please attach the actual Hot Potatoes file you are using to your next post to this thread.
Thanks

Alex,
from the screenshot, I guess that this is a JMatch Sort quiz delivered via QuizPort on Moodle 1.9, and that you are using the "Afterburner" theme. Does that sound right?
Does the quiz display as expected if you switch to the standard theme?
Please attach the jmx file to your next post, so that I have something to test on.
thanks
Gordon
Gordon,
You are right about the theme.
I haven't tried it with another theme.
I tried it with 2.8.1 default theme and I'm sending you a pic from that.
I'm also sending the jmx file.
Gordon,
Here are the remaining files:
Thank you!

Hi Alex,
In Moodle 1.9 with the standard theme using QuizPort to administer the jmt file with the "JMatch Sort from xml" output format, the quiz displays and behaves as expected (see screenshot).
Furthermore, in Moodle 2.8 with the standard theme using TaskChain to administer the jmt file with the "JMatch Sort from xml" output format, the quiz again displays and behaves as expected (see screenshot).
Please could you confirm that you are using the jmt file with the "JMatch Sort from xml" output format to administer this quiz.
I will try the same thing with the "Rocket" theme now. Is that a standard theme? If not, where can I get it?
cheers
Gordon
Alex,
is this the Afterburner theme you were using on your Moodle 1.9 site?
Unfortunately, the Moodle 1.9 version of the theme seems to be no longer available, so I'm stuck
... no, I think I've found it:
Alex,
I installed and activiated the Afterburner theme on my Moodle 1.9 site, and found that your JMatch displays fine in QuizPort (see attached screenshot) if you run it from the jmt file with the "JMatch Sort from xml" output format.
Therefore, I don't think the theme matters. Rather, the important point is to run the quiz from the jmt file with the "JMatch Sort from xml" output format. This should allow it to work in either QuizPort or TaskChain in any version of Moodle.
I think perhaps that you were running the quiz from the html file, and neither QuizPort nor TaskChain knows how to detect or manipulate JMatch Sort html files. Please switch to using the jmt file.
regards
Gordon
Hi Gordon,
I've been looking for the theme also. I'm not sure the zip you found is the version I'm using.
I'm also going through all the changes you are suggesting to see if I will eventually change themes.
Since you've been so incredibly helpful and I'm not that savvy I will wait for your outcome with Afterburner.
Thank you so much!
Alex
Gordon,
Where do you determine/decide the output format in Hotpot and more specifically in Jmatch?
Thank you,
Alex
As you may know, each "quiz" in a QuizPort and each "task" in a TaskChain has its own settings page. You can access these settings pages in a number of ways.
Once you have got to the settings page for your quiz/task, then change the "Output format" setting, in the "Display" section of the settings page, to "JMatch Sort from xml".
regards
Gordon
Hi Gordon,
I followed you instructions and it worked.
Could you please suggest a place where I can get a read on the different output formats?
Thank you!!!
Alex
Hi Gordon,
I tried the same thing on a 2.7.2 and I got nothing relatively speaking,
Loaded the same .jmt file but could not get an output format menu.
The taskchain version was the most recent, Sunday 7/12.
Thank you,
Alex
I wonder what went wrong.
Hi Gordon,
The answers to your questions:
I use Moodle version: 1.9.10.
Theme: Rocket
I'm not sure about the answer to the 'output format'!! Jmatch?
I have also included a pic from 2.8.1 with the same file.
Here are all the files. I can only send them in batches of two.
Thank you very much!
Alex
