Wordsearch and crossword

Thanks farrisimin,

We have great contributors like yourself on many areas, but not on development, so we will be working harder for this in the coming months where the goal will be to make more developers join the community by developing content types and sharing them here on H5P.org. The project won't really take of until more developers join in and create and share great content types and applications for H5P.

Hopefully someone who reads this issue will pick up the thread and implement one of these? The H5P core team will implement new content types as well, and we actually have three more coming up, but our roadmap is pretty set for the coming months.

This would be great, too. Just adding support, I understand you need more help... Thanks.

hey guys how can I use these tools in my wordpress site?

Hi, considering the code is licensed as cc-by-sa any developer could fork the repository and "clean up" or extend the code as long as they attribute the original author :)

The Crossword works pretty well. The author was active a few days ago in the Wordsearch repo if anyone wants to try to follow up.

This would be fantastic as a core feature.

Edit: I fixed some of the JS so that keypresses work in Firefox. Also did some work on the css. Waiting for a reply on Github to get the JS changes committed. 

I've attached what I think looks much nicer. Still work to do though.

I've done a tonne of work on the crossword over the last few days and for my site, the changes work well. There are still a couple of small problems that need to be fixed.

But I am not that confident about it ever making it to the Hub because of the invasive way that clues need to be attached to the bottom of the screen on mobile. If that isn't done, there's basically no point in using it, imo.

But anyways, here's a rundown of what I've done:

• Keypresses work in Firefox and mobile Chrome. Haven't tested other mobile browsers yet.
• Mobile: Clues auto scroll in a fixed div when a box is clicked or focused.
• Mobile: Crossword autoscrolls when typing.
• The above redone so it works in Column. The clues get attached outside the Column iFrame.

Problems:

• The work done to make the Crossword work in Column would probably work for embedding the crossword on another page. But it would be messy to make the crossword work inside a column inside an embed if you want the clues attached to the bottom of the page.
• Crossword is generated dynamically. Sometimes fails.
• Some boxes randomly don't have the right attributes. Scroll to clue sometimes fails.
• Attaching to bottom of the screen is generally invasive. Hiding it when the crossword isn't active could be an ok solution.
• My JS is hacky and only tested on Drupal. The original code is uncommented and has various issues.
• I used bootstrap a bit.
• Typing answers quickly can skip boxes.
• The current Github repo owner isn't active so no changes can be committed.

I think a crossword would be a great content type to have in the Hub but it needs a far more experienced developer and a definite decision regarding clue placement. I will be using on my site though for definite.

Hello, 

Where in the cp would I unzip the files for testing on Moodle 3.2 and 3.3 installations? When adding from moodle mod/hvp/library_list.php, this was the error message: 

Library directory name must match machineName or machineName-majorVersion.minorVersion (from library.json). (Directory: MyWordSearch-master , machineName: H5P.WordSearch, majorVersion: 5, minorVersion: 0)

thanks!

Hi, 

Would it be possible to upload to Moodle for testing? Versions 3.2 and 3.3. I tried uploading the Crossword .zip from mod/hvp/library_list.php. The error message is below. Where could I add the files from the cp? Thanks! 

Library directory name must match machineName or machineName-majorVersion.minorVersion (from library.json). (Directory: MyWordSearch-master , machineName: H5P.WordSearch, majorVersion: 5, minorVersion: 0)

There aren't example files unfortunately. If someone could drop off each, that would be great. Otherwise, what can I do from the cp? Thanks!

Thank you for your effort and for sharing this with everyone!

Thank you so much, I love what you've done. I agree that this activity is not relible yet.  Unfortunately, I don't code and can't assist, but will happily test.

I read some people are not so used to wordpress, coding and configuring. So I think it should be of great value if I added an explanation on how I did for Wordpress. I went to github (https://github.com/niallmurphy-ie/MyCrossWord)  and downloaded the library and then I uploaded the entire on wp-root/uploads/h5p/libraries. I unzip and renamed it removing the master. Then I went to Wordpress admin, H5p dashboard and uploaded H5P document attached here (https://h5p.org/sites/default/files/H5P.CrossWord-3.0_0.h5p). Everything installed so in dashboard I create a new H5P content and the crossword was in the tab my content. Hope it help someone and thanks for the nice add-on. 

Using Moodle 3.3.2+, chrome, windows laptop and shared hosting with access to the control panel. I'm also Moodle admin (but not a developer) and teacher. 

I was able to add the MyCrossword some time back on Moodle 3.2. It has some bugs including: use of spaces, correcting a spelling mistake, and alignment within my theme (Adaptable).

• Spaces: the space bar doesn't work - so you need to type in a letter and then the cursor jumps to the next letter box.
• Spelling: A typo...and you need to go back to the beginning of the word and retype everything. 
• Alignment: It overflows

I am not able to install it on Moodle 3.3 though. 

There is a Find the Word game with 2 games if I am not mistaken: https://github.com/jithin-space/h5p-word-find-game Very interesting as it was updated 1 month ago. I can't install it either when unzipping it in the moodle/mod/hvp/libraries folder. (wrote a separate post seeking help). 

Finally, a hangman too, last update in 2015 so it's probably not worth testing...

I'm curious about the development of the wordsearch content type? Is there any progress? I'm a teacher in primairy school myself and interested in this content types among the others. :)

Following this too. Really waiting for these content types :)

Hi there i'm using wordpress with h5p. I would like to try the wordsearch from this link https://github.com/jithin-space/h5p-word-find-game when is download the zippackage and unzip it i can't find the .h5p file. I know it are not official releases but i would like to test these prototypes. What do i need to do to make a .h5p file that i can upload?
