Integration of Find Multiple Hotspots not possible

[petzi53]

I just found out that I cannot integrate the content type "Find Multiple Hotspots" into Interactive Book. Is there any reason for this exclusion?

@petzi53 Yes. The content type was created by Luke Muller, not by the H5P core team. Unfortunately, he did neither implement the so called "Question Type Contract" nor take care of initializing some variables (among other shortcomings). Especially the former is the reason why it cannot be included in compound content types. Please note that Luke dropped further development. The H5P core team seems to have adopted the content type, and there's also a pull request to fix the things mentioned above (you see there's a lot of stuff added), but I hope you understand that the H5P core team cannot take over maintenance for every content type that other authors abandon.

@otacke Thank you for this detailed and helpful answer. Is there a similar reason why Advanced Fill the Blanks is not integrated into other content types? It is also excluded from Interactive Book as I have just noticed.

I am looking forward to your tutorial on how to integrate other content types hoping that I will learn how to make these kinds of adaptions by myself.

@petzi53 No, Advanced Fill in the Blanks seems to implement the Question Type Contract and seems to sanitize parameters. Must be a different reason.

And Flashcards?

Sorry, still another question: Guess the Answer does not seem to display its header in the table of content of Interactive Book on the left side. So you can't jump to it when you include a "Guess the Answer"-exercise as a subpage in a chapter. The only way to link to it with a specific URL is to make each "Guess the Answer"-exercise its own chapter.

Another issue is: Guess the Answer is an interactive exercise because you can press the button "Click to see the answer". But it comports like a page without tasks, e.g. progress is shown whenever the page is just called but without doing the exercise.
