Hi Chick,

You might find this explanation by Gordon useful: Using the actual hotpot or the generated htm file better?

I've uploaded a new version of your exercise which uses Dewplayer: Should students be paid to do well in school? Dewplayer

This is so that you can compare the different possibilities and make your own choices. I usually use Dewplayer for longer texts because there's a pause button so students have more control over the player.

You control which player Moodle uses when you create or update the Hot Potatoes Quiz: see screenshot below.

Because I've chosen:

Force media plugins No

Moodle uses "my" Flash player, in this case Dewplayer.

Cheers,

Glenys

Hi Chick,

I went to Gordon's site and diplayed your exercise throught the Hot Potatoes module (Add an activity... > Hot Potatoes quiz) as Should students be paid to do well in school? original and saw that there was no Flash player.

I downloaded your folder, made some changes and uploaded the exercise again in a folder called clindsay_gh I displayed the .htm file through the Hot Potatoes Quiz module as : Should students be paid to do well in school? GH This way grades are added to the Moodle gradebook so you know what your students have done.

I've listed the changes I made in Add audio to WebRhubarb.doc in the Files section on that site.

I think the problem was you didn't have a Flash player to play your mp3 file.

I also displayed the exercise as a simple Resource. This means it's as it would be on an "ordinary" site: the grades are not added to the Moodle gradebook and you don't know whether or not your students have done the exercise.

You can experiment on Gordon's site with:

• linking to the .rhb file
• setting the "Force media plugins" to "Yes" in the HotPot settings page as Gordon suggests

to see what suits you best.

Hope this helps,

Glenys

That's what I like about Moodle.org: lots of opportunities to feel good.

Lots of nice people who make you feel good.

I voted for your request too, Frankie.

Salut Patricia,

Moi non plus, mais dans Moodle docs je trouve:

Vérification des paramètres PHP

Moodle nécessite un certain nombre de réglages PHP. Sur la plupart des serveurs, ces réglages sont actifs par défaut. Cependant, certains serveurs PHP (...) Ces réglages sont définis dans le fichier de configuration de PHP (dont le nom est habituellement php.ini) :

(...)

Utiliser un fichier .htaccess pour le serveur web et les paramètres PHP

Si vous installez Moodle sur un serveur hébergé, et ne pouvez pas modifier directement les fichiers de votre serveur, (...), vous pouvez cependant CONTOURNER tous ces réglages par défaut. Cela fonctionne seulement sur les serveurs Apache, (...)

• Créez dans le dossier de Moodle un fichier nommé .htaccess, contenant des lignes comme :

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm

<IfDefine APACHE2>
 AcceptPathInfo on
</IfDefine>

php_flag magic_quotes_gpc 1
php_flag magic_quotes_runtime 0
php_flag file_uploads 1
php_flag session.auto_start 0
php_flag session.bug_compat_warn 0

J'ai fait un énorme pas en avant quand j'ai compris que "Créer un fichier nommé .htaccess" veut dire créer un fichier .txt, y copier et coller le code qu'on nous fourni et ensuite le renommer .htaccess

Je ne comprends rien, je fais bêtement... et ça marche.

Cheers,

Glenys

Hi Steven,

Just to confirm: I haven't had backup problems with ForumNG in Moodle 1.9.11

Cheers,
