    Is something missing? I downloaded the mod but there seems to be something missing.
    From the install
    "mod/hotpot
    upload this to "mod/hotpot" on your Moodle site

    question/format/hotpot
    upload this to "question/format/hotpot" on your Moodle site"
    If I put hotpot in moodle/mod it breaks the install. If I put it in the /moodle/question/format directory it installs but when importing I get a blank screen, no imports of any description.
    Is the some file missing.

    Trying to install just the import format part didn't work, but when we installed the whole module then it went fine.

    Hi, there are 2 parts to this HotPot. This is the question format part. It goes, as quoted above, into question/format.
    Then you need to install the module HotPot. It goes into the mod folder.
    Search on Hot Potatoes to get both on one page.

    Thanks for the feedback. Sorry about any confusion caused by the README file.

    Before you install this HotPot question import plugin, you need to install the HotPot module for Moodle 2.x.

    After you have installed the HotPot module for Moodle 2.x, download the zip file for this HotPot question import plugin, unzip it to get a folder called "hotpot", and then upload that "hotpot" folder to "question/filter/hotpot" on your Moodle 2.x site.

    I have modified the README file to give a similar explanation.

    I mean "question/format/hotpot". Thanks for pointing that out.

    Cora, the HotPot question import is included in standard Moodle 1.9, so you don't need to install it.

    Please ask any further questions on the HotPot forum:
