Hello,

In the Anki version 2.1.33 my cloze-overlapper stops working with the following error message:

With the guidance on another thread I have tried to install the last stable version of Anki 2.1.26, but with no luck as the add-on now displays “no configuration is found” and is disabled.

I would really appreciate your help!

Thank you,

Problem description

*I downloaded cloze overlapped from the patreon. The download went fine, and I can use cloze overlap when I am adding cards. However, when I try to change settings (such as gradual up/down), I get the error message bellow. After using cloze overlapped for a day, my anki would no longer sync with AnkiWeb, would take forever to open, and would pause so I couldn’t do anything. I have a MacBook pro, 2015. I would have to force quit anki multiple times to get it to work. I tried deleting the ad-on, and I still had the problem (can’t sync, anki working funky). I ended up deleting anki and all of its files and re-downloading anki. I tried downloading the cloze overlap ad on again, and am running into the same problems. I don’t have any issues with the ad-ons I am using. I am using anki 2.1.26 like is suggested on patreon. *

Hi, I’m new using the CO add-on and I was trying to customize it so I can type the answer for the cloze deletions. I’ve already read the thread on GitHub (this one: Ability To Type in Cloze · Issue #1 · glutanimate/cloze-overlapper · GitHub) but the add-on they mention in one of the last answers is not working anymore.
I tried to modificate the front template and the back template.
These are my modifications on the front template

And on the back template

These modifications work fine for cloze-ol 1 cards.
These cards look like this in the front

and like this in the back
Although I will certainly prefer to not have all those typing boxes (for the aesthetics, mainly), I don’t mind them like that.

The problem comes when cloze-ol 2, 3, 4,… and 21 cards come to play.
This is the front of a cloze-ol 3 card

(The message “Por favor, ejecuta Herramientas>Tarjetas vacías” means “Please, execute Tools>Empty cards”) and when I execute the Empty cards a message saying that “There are no empty cards” appears.
Andthe back of a cloze-ol 3 looks just fine (I cannot upload a pic beacuse I’m a new user and it only allows me to upload up to 5 pics)

I don’t know if someone has already solved this or can help me. I know barely anything about coding, so I don’t know if there is a way to tell Anki to show me as many typing boxes as cloze deletions are in each card. Or at least, that the cloze-ol 2 and forward cards show up just like the cloze-ol 1 cards.

Thank you in advance to everyone

alidoesphysics · February 26, 2022, 10:55pm

Hi, I find that cloze overlapper cards have text that is way too wide on iPhone, while normal cloze deletions seem to rescale properly. I’ve tried changing the mobile font size in CSS, but the issue persists.

Thanks

otrai · July 16, 2023, 6:08pm

How do I align equations using the cloze overlapper add-on?

When I try to insert the MathJax code below, cloze overlapper won’t convert it to MathJax?

[

\begin{align}

f’(x)&=\lim_{h\to0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h} \

&=\lim_{h\to0}\frac{c-c}{h} \

&=\lim_{h\to0}0 \

&=0

\end{align}

Any plans to update this to the >/= 23.10Qt6?

glutanimate · October 30, 2023, 12:48am

Yes, the next version of CO will be compatible with 23.10+.

DoctorToBeIn23 · December 20, 2023, 1:26am

Any idea on the estimate on when you will have this update out?
What about:

Hello Glutanimate!

I am using a Macbook with MacOs:
Sonoma 14.2

My Anki version is:
Version ⁨23.10.1 (fac9e0ee)⁩
Python 3.9.15 Qt 6.5.3 PyQt 6.5.3

I have attempted to use this version of Cloze Overlapper for Anki 2.1:
https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/109531687

When restarting Anki, I am getting this window/message:

I have clicked the blue Botton “check for Updates”
… but no updates were found.

QUESTION:
Should I try to install another version of this add-on Cloze Overlapper? Do you have an alternative link/url to the appropriate version?
In theory, this seem like a very useful add-on but I have not been able to use it due to the above specified reason.
Could you please tell me what would be your advise?

Thank you very much.

Ted.

@DoctorToBeIn23 updates for Cloze Overlapper and Pop-up Dictionary are now out on Patreon.

Should have an AnkiWeb update out for Extended Card Stats During Review later this month.

@ted thanks for the detailed report! The version you installed is an unofficial build, I’m afraid. You can get the latest official build on my Patreon. It works on Anki 23.10 (last tested on 23.12.1).

ted · January 3, 2024, 12:08pm

I see/discover now that there is a monthly subscription to access the version you have indicated. Thank you.

glutanimate · January 3, 2024, 1:30pm

FWIW, you can also just subscribe for one month to download the current version and then freely decide whether or not you want to stay subbed for future updates and other add-ons.
