How to get rid of “Questions completed” feedback in Hot Potatoes quizzes
- If you dig into the JavaScript in the HTML, looking for the default feedback t4ext (“Questions completed so far”), you see (as I have done here manually; this could be relatively easily done also for an entire batch of course quizzes with a global replacement) that you turn this option off:
- var CompletedSoFar = ‘Questions completed so far: ‘;
- var ShowCompletedSoFar = false;
- But that does not get rid of the #/# being displayed.
- There is an option to get rid of the Feedback text:
- If I read the options correctly, there is no such setting (we tried the obvious suspects here):
-
function CheckQuestionsCompleted(){ // trp: trying to disable showing to student QuestionsCompleted // (entire function even if somebody changes the variable ShowCompletedSoFar) // if i understand correctly, what users really do not want to show // is a misleading completed correctly for completed // (which leads to students not know that they have finished?) - \ // is there no better way? // was: if (ShowCompletedSoFar == false )){return '';} // trp: cannot find a gui to set ShowCompletedSoFar to false var QsCompleted = 0; for (var QNum=0; QNum<State.length; QNum++){ if (State[QNum] != null){ if (State[QNum][0] >= 0){ QsCompleted++; } } } //Fixes for 6.2.2.2 if (QsCompleted >= QArray.length){ return ExerciseCompleted; } else{ return ''; // trp: CompletedSoFar + ' ' + QsCompleted + '/' + QArray.length + '.'; } } - Since you can edit the sourcefiles of a HotPotatoes installation, you can turn it also off for a machine permanently:
- If this variable is there in the underlying code, shouldn’t there be also an option in the GUI (not necessarily, maybe was never implemented – or maybe I just have not found it…).
- For what the output will look like, see here.
