I've just updated my site to 4.1. Is there HotPot plugin compatible with 4.1? I've been using this plugin for many many years... I want to use it with 4.1 as well...
Gordon Bateson
Yes, this plugin works on all versions of Moodle 2.x
Please ask any further questions on the HotPot forum:

Hi,
Will this plugin be avalaible for Moodle 2.5 (and so)?
Thanks
Gordon Bateson
Cora, the HotPot question import is included in standard Moodle 1.9, so you don't need to install it.

where can I download the package HotPot question import for Moodle 1.9?
Gordon Bateson
Paul, please ask any further questions on the HotPot forum, not here.

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

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.

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.

Trying to install just the import format part didn't work, but when we installed the whole module then it went fine.
Stephen Lowe
Me too. Similar story, as yet unresolved.

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.
