I have made a set of pages with the Hotpotatoes 6 masher (an index page and four questions), but when I try to import the files I am only given an option to import one file. I have tried uploading the index file and four question files one at a time, but when I do that, the index file works fine but all the links are broken. I have not had any problem uploading single page quizes. Is there any way the import module can import the set of pages in one go, or a way I can upload the pages onto a particular location on the server (I had a look but couldn't see any obvious candidates)?
Perhaps zipping up the little web site and unzipping it on the server would work for you.
If your links are not working due to path errors, maybe the "slash arguments" setting has something to do with the solution. (I am a little out of my league here, though.)

Art, have you such a set of exercises with backlinks to an index file working on your server?
Art,
Thanks for the suggestion. I located the files on the server and was able to open the index and the four question files individually directly from the server, but the index would not link to the questions, and the "index" sections on the questions themselves would also not link back to the index. All the files are obviously located within the same folder. Where is does this "slasharguments" live so that I can go and try to change it? Looking back through the posts on this forum, it says that there will be an equivalent but different file formed within the course folder. Does this mean that this import module is therefore only capable of importing single html files, and that what I am trying to do is therefore not possible?
Best regards,

Is it possible to place a hot potatoes quiz WITHIN the pages of a lesson?
I have made a gap fill exercise in hot potatoes and i need this to be between two pages of a lesson.
How is this possible?
I'm not familar with the lesson module, so perhaps this isn't the best answer, but here goes...
You can place a link to an existing resource anywhere that you have text. If you create a resource with the Hot Potatoes page that you want, you can then right-click and copy the link address. You can then embed this with the text like this:
Now click on this <a href=http://www.mymoodlehost.com/moodle/mod/javascript/view.php?id=84>link</a> to do a hotpot exercise.

Thanks for the reply but for some reason the link doesnt appear as it should?
When viewing the page, all the code of the link is shown !
There was one error in my illustration above since I had copied the URL of a different kind of resource, not a hotpot file. It should have read:
Now click on this <a href=http://www.mymoodlehost.com/moodle/mod/hotpot/view.php?id=94>link</a> to do a hotpot exercise.
(I've just substituted 'hotpot' where the posting said 'javascript'.)
Other than that, if you have the angle brackets in the right place, it should open up the hotpot resource NOT show the code. If you want the lesson to 'stay put' in the current window, you can force the activity to appear in a new window by adding "target='new'" to the link specification like this:
Now click on this <a href='http://www.mymoodlehost.com/moodle/mod/hotpot/view.php?id=94' target='new'>link</a> to do a hotpot exercise.
