Hi Ryan,

In fact, you can have the best of both worlds: ease and comfort of preparing your tests locally in Hot Potatoes and the advantages of using Quiz for testing. You can import most Hot Potatoes exercises easily into Quiz with just a few clicks.

If you present your Hot Potatoes exercises through the Hot Pot Module (Moodle 1.9 & 2) or through QuizPort the grades will be recorded in the Moodle gradebook. However, I find Quiz is better for a real test.

Here's a tutorial on How to make a multiple-choice exercise function like a traditional test

Cheers,

Hi Gordon and Deborah,

I didn't have to do anything to install PhpMyAdmin locally - it just came as part of the standard package.

And I've been falsely accusing my wonderful host of not giving me access to PhpMyAdmin and I do have it on my online site: Site Administration > Server > Database.

Deborah, don't be ashamed of ignorance - nobody knows everything. I still haven't had the time to learn how do all the clever things you do with Flash.

PhpMyAdmin is rather daunting when you first look at it and I don't really understand it either. But when someone who does, gives me clear instructions as Gordon did above I manage. You can see the mdl_quizport_details table in the screenshot. (All those files on the left are called tables - took me ages to work that out.)

Here's a step-by-step tutorial on how to install Moodle1.9 on a Xampp sever on Windows 7

Cheers,

Glenys

Hi Deborah,

I found the mdl_quizport_details table on my local server by using PhpMyAdmin but I don't have that access to that on the distant server. For very good reasons, my host doesn't want me messing about there so maybe you need to ask yours.

On my local Moodle Xampp server, this is the path: C: > xampp > mysql > data > Moodle19 >

I'm sure you'll get some real techie support soon.

Cheers,

Glenys

Hi again,

I didn't change this in the source file:

function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0

window.open(theURL,winName,features);

}

Should I have done?

Cheers,

Glenys

Hi Gordon,

I followed your advice and  it works on the online server in QuizPort example: Number table (1a) but not in QuizPort on my local server . It doesn't work in the Hot Pot Module on either server, example Number table (1a)

Here's my modified code:

<a style="cursor: pointer; "onclick="window.open('number_table_tutorial.htm','boxes','resizable=yes,width=700,height=393');return false;"><img src="help.jpg" alt="help.jpg" title="Help!!!" width="50" height="49" style="float: left;"></img></a>

The online site is 1.9.17+ (Build: 20120412) QuizPot 2008040131, and the local site 1.9.18+ (Build: 20120519) QuizPort 2008040131

Cheers,

Glenys
