Bonjour,

Je suis la seule personne à ne pas savoir ce que veut dire "régression" dans ce contexte ? J'ai fait une recherche Google mais ça ne m'a pas beaucoup avancé.

Cheers,

Hi Gordon,

That's very clear and helpful - embedding one hotpot in another and moodle 2.3 too, though of course I don't know how to create the appropriate JavaScript.

As for repositories, I've tried the "alias" system too and it hasn't worked for me either. I thought it was just me not doing something right as I'm still not very used to Moodle 2. Would an external repository would work any better?

Cheers,

Hi there,

In the past, I've felt in control by having each of my Hot Pot exercises in a folder along with all its related files: audio, video, images.... The links from the Hot Pot exo to the media files were all relative. I've been able to easily move these folders around from one server to another, to display the exo on Moodle or elsewhere, through the HotPot module, or QuizPort or Book. All the links worked everywhere.

Now I gather, I should be doing things differently by using a repository, or maybe several repositories. I've already been doing this with my Flash videos: I've uploaded them to YouTube and inserted them from there with an absolute link. That's been fine - I have relatively few videos - and YouTube seems likely to be around for a long time. However, I've got far more images and sound files and I'm not sure how to manage them elegantly, easily and not to have to redo all the links in the foreseeable future.

I've tried to display my Hot Pot exercises in Book on Moodle 2.4 and none of the media files appeared (they did in TaskChain). I'm experimenting with Stan's suggestion for using the JW Player for displaying a playlist in a Hot Potatoes exo. There too the playlist code requires an absolute link.

There are so many repositories (Moodle doc Repositories lists 13) I've no idea which one(s) to choose. What have other people done? What suggestions do you have - in particular as regards future proofing?

Cheers,

Glenys

Hi Gerald,

Just to confirm what Gordon has said. I've had this problem too and it was nothing directly to do with QuizPort - just a question of having a very large and active site. It was fine working on a huge university server (when the technicians had worked out what to do with the php.ini file), but much more difficult on a shared server. Very active courses with a lot of student activity on interactive exercises just are heavy on the server. In fact, QuizPort is much less heavy on the server than the HotPot module because student clicks are cached. (I'm sure Gordon can explain that better.)

Hope you find a solution,

Glenys

Bonsoir Daniel,

Je sais que tu fais la pub pour Softaculous depuis belle lurette et ils devraient bien te faire une petite ristourne, mais ce que je veux savoir, moi, est si je peux y installer des plug-ins avec ce système. Je pense, tu ne vas pas être surpris, à HotPot, TaskChain, mais aussi à Questionnaire et à ForumNG.

Cheers,

Glenys
