Hi Gordon,
I think you meant to write:

"I would be very grateful if anybody reading this could also try running HP 6.2 quizzes on my Moodle 1.7 site to see if they run OK.

• URL: http://bateson.kanazawa-gu.ac.jp/moodle/17/ms/course/view.php?id=2
• course: HotPot v2.2 public testing area
• username: guestteacher
• password: hotpotv22"

Sorry, I can't do any testing because I'm having connection problems.

Cheers,
Glenys

Hello Gordon,
I've put old and new versions of the same exercise on your server, and guess what? The new version Exercise 1 - New works perfectly on your server (the grades are recorded) - but not on mine (the scores are not recorded).

Naturally, I'm not the administrator of my university server, what should I be telling them to do? They refuse to upgrade Moodle until the summer holidays. It's 1.6.4+ at the moment. I assume they should install the latest Hot Pot module, if they haven't already. What is it?

Cheers,
Glenys

Hello Gordon,
These are 6.2.0.8 source files. I remodified them this morning to be absolutely sure which version I was using.
I don't know exactly when there started to be a problem but fairly recently.
In the past there was no problem with my modified source file exercises on Moodle. They worked as I wanted and the scores were recorded.
I'll go and put examples on your site.
Hope you spend some of your weekend away from your computer.

Cheers,
Glenys

Hi Gordon,
Now I feel guilty about your weekend. I'll try and signal problems on a Monday in the future.

Here are the files.

I still haven't received an email from your server http://bateson.kanazawa-gu.ac.jp/moodle/16/ms/login/index.php with a new password.

Hello there,

I'm having problems with scoring, too. Old exercises work normally in Moodle 1.6.4+, but when I regenerate them with Hot Potatoes 6.2.8 they no longer do so and new exercises don't either.

I've attempted to connect to your site, Gordon, http://bateson.kanazawa-gu.ac.jp/moodle/16/ms/login/index.php but I've forgotten the password and though I've it says an email has been sent with a new password I haven't received it after several hours.

I can't show you old/new examples on my site as it's part of what's not open to the students yet.

I can show you the problem with a new exercise here: The Battle against Colds and 'Flu: a Self-Treatment Guide: A The exercise works perfectly as I intend (I've made several modifications to the source code) but the scores are not saved. It's based on the html file.

On the other hand, in this version based on the .jqz file, the scores are recorded but it doesn't work as I intended (lines are visible, there is a pop-up feedback box, etc.): The Battle against Colds and 'Flu: a Self-Treatment Guide: B

The code validates.

The enrollment key is: M1QV34

Cheers,
Glenys
