Hi everybody,
I have compiled many HotPot exercises for my students on Moodle in a zipped files along with all the images and eventually sound files! When I want to view these exercises all the images are missing as well as sound files..
What's wrong? I'm using the latest version of Hot Potatoes.
Thanks for helping me out!
You need to check the URLs used in the images.
I suspect that your problem is caused by one of the following:

I suspect that your problem is caused by one of the following:
- the images and sounds are not uploaded to the server
- the images and sounds are on the server but are not in the same position, relative to the quiz, that they are on your PC
- you are using PC file paths in your URLs, e.g.:
file:///C:/My Website/images/image.gif - the permissions on your "moodledata" folder are not sufficient to allow Moodle to access the images and sound files
- the "slasharguments", setting on the Admin -> Configuration page of your Moodle site, is not correct for your server

Thank you for uploading the quiz "question1.html" to my server.
The image "iavlogoanim.gif" does not show because you have not uploaded it to my server. For this particular quiz, you need to put the image in the same folder on the server that the quiz file is in.
If you need help on how to upload images and sounds to your Moodle site, please let us know.
all the best

Hi Abdou,
I don't think you need to worry about file permissions an the "slashargument" setting. From what I saw when you uploaded your quiz to my server, I would say you simply need to upload the images and sounds files to your Moodle site.

Could you tell us how you uploaded the exercises into Moodle? Also, have you tried using the SCORM output from Hot Potatoes in Moodle?

How did you create the zip file? The best way to do it is using the zip file output command on the File menu in Hot Potatoes. When you use that command, the program should automatically normalize all the file paths to your images.

Hi Martin
In fact for the first time I used the Zip software then later I used Moodle to zip all the activities!

Hi Martin I have just upgraded HP but there seems I still have some minor problems regarding images! They simply don't appear on the quizzes!!! I am attaching the zipped file that I have prepared with the zip tool in HP! Cheers Abdou
PS: the zip file could not be uploaded; I'll send it to you mailbox

I didn't receive any zip file, I'm afraid.
Are your image files on the same hard drive as your HotPot data file?

Click on the File menu, then on Create SCORM 1.2 Package.
If you don't see that option on your File menu, then you have an old version of Hot Potatoes and you should upgrade to the latest version.

Hi Martin
That's why I don't have that SCORM function on my HotPot because I have an old version! I am going to upgrade it!
Thanks Martin for all your help!
I'll let you know.
