Memrise card template [support thread]

If you are looking to color the word omitted in the cloze itself, you just need to add something like this:

.cloze {
    color: royalblue;
}

at the end of the code in the Styling tab

hello! i was wondering what i would have to add to the code to have it show some fields after i answer a card correctly?

for example, i currently have Usage Notes visible on the front card.

and i have Usage Notes and Examples visible on the back card when I answer incorrectly.

is there any way to have the information on the back to also appear when i do answer correctly? thank you!

Sure. There are couple of ways

  1. If you have the support addon installed, you can simply press Space after the answer is submitted to open the info screen instead of the next card.
  2. If you want that to happen each time by default, you can put alwaysShowInfo = true; in the user-scripts section on the back of the card (for each card type, if you are using several):

hello, I have a trouble with Memcloze template on Ankidroid. When I wrote wrong, in the back card, it’s not appear “YOUR ANSWER” like the other of Memrise template. Can you help me fix that? It’s just error on Ankidroid, desktop is working fine.

That’s a limitation of the older version of the template, which the Cloze setup is based on. It is on me to update it to the latest version. Since it’s been requested multiple times at this point, I’ll prioritize it over other planned things.

I need help. It’s my first time using Anki and I followed GitHub’s step-by-step, I added the extension, but my template isn’t right. I’ll send some screenshots, please tell me what I’m doing wrong.



It looks like you are using cards that were previously created using another template. You simply need to convert them to the one you want to use:

  1. In the card browser (your last screenshot) select all the cards you want to convert
  2. In the top menu select NotesChange Note Type
  3. Select the desired note type at the top (for a start I suggest using the Memrise (Lτ) Preset [Translation+Listenting | MultipleChoice+Typing] v4.2 that you should have imported from the .apkg file at the first step of the guide)
  4. Map the fields below accordingly and press Save

Hello, how are you? I really love your template, but I would like to know how I can use only one model, in this case, the multiple-choice model. I tested all the models that came in the .apkg, but they all generate 4 different models, whereas for me, at the moment, only the multiple-choice one is necessary. This ends up generating extra cards unnecessarily. I searched everywhere and couldn’t figure out how to keep just one model. Could you please help me? Sorry, my English isn’t very good. Thank you in advance!

Does this answer your question?

Yes, of course. Yomitan to Anki can be set up to work with any Note Type, including this Memrise template.

I don’t recognize the fields on the right side in your screenshot, so I’m assuming you either customized your version of the template or selected something other than Memrise template in the “Model” dropdown menu at the top, but here is a setup I would start with based on the default template:

The exact field mapping would depend entirely on your preferences and the dictionaries you have installed. The main Yomitan values are {expression} (for Kanji form of a word) and {glossary} (for English translations). You can use the Extra and Extra 2 fields (which you can rename accordingly) for storing {reading} (kana spelling) and {sentence} (example sentence in which the word was originally encountered), as well as Audio for {audio} (you can also modify the template to use text-to-speech for filling in the gaps whenever there is no audiofile for the word in Yomitan database). For detailed descriptions of Yomitan values click that Help button, and for the intended roles of the Template fields refer to this post.

You might also want to turn on ”Compact glossaries” in the “Appearance” section of Yomitan settings to get meaning lists in a format more suitable for flashcards. To make this format automatically parsable by the template you can add ‘|’ symbol to the list of its delimiters (I can provide instruction for this separately), or (closer to my personal way of using Yomitan) to take advantage of the template’s alternative answer system (point 3 of this post) you can use this code

<div part="alt">{glossary-first-brief}</part>

as the value for “Definition” field in Yomitan, and after creating cards manually move a single meaning outside of the <div> tag to handpick the translation you want to focus on. In addition, you will probably want to stop Yomitan from inserting a ton of its styling tags into Anki fields. To do that you will need to enable “Advanced” toggle at the bottom left corner of Yomitan settings page, and then go to “Configure Anki card templates…” and remove all <div> and </div> tags as well as whole <style>...</style> sections from the respective field code.

Here is an example with the full code for {glossary-first} field after the cleanup
{{~#*inline "glossary-first"~}}
    {{~#scope~}}
        {{~#if (op "===" definition.type "term")~}}
            {{~> glossary-single definition brief=brief noDictionaryTag=noDictionaryTag ~}}
        {{~else if (op "||" (op "===" definition.type "termGrouped") (op "===" definition.type "termMerged"))~}}
            {{~#if (op ">" definition.definitions.length 1)~}}
                {{~#with definition.definitions.[0]~}}
                    {{~> glossary-single . brief=../brief noDictionaryTag=../noDictionaryTag ~}}
                    {{~#if glossaryScopedStyles~}}
                        <style>{{{glossaryScopedStyles}}}</style>
                    {{~/if~}}
                {{~/with~}}
            {{~else~}}
                {{~#with definition.definitions.[0]~}}
                    {{~> glossary-single . brief=../brief noDictionaryTag=../noDictionaryTag ~}}
                {{~/with~}}
            {{~/if~}}
        {{~/if~}}
    {{~/scope~}}
{{~/inline~}}

This option for multiple choice cards does not appear. I imported the file as per the step by step, but none appeared as described in .apk.

Did you use the “Fill Choices” option from the addon on the imported cards?

Hi, first of all thank you very much for creating this plugin. It helps to still use the interface of the old amazing Memrise before it went in bad direction. However, I am struggling to make it work completely as it should.

Could you please record a tutorial on YouTube etc. how to exactly migrate from Memrise into Anki? I used the Chrome plugin to download courses no problem but the issue occurs for me when trying to setup Anki to way it should be done. I’d like to clone the UI 1:1 from old Memrise and integrate the downloaded courses (including recorded words). Could you please record it step-by-step as I tried to follow the written version twice but it doesn’t fully working for me? Thank you so much in advance

I have plans to do one, but making a good video would be quite a time investment. It doesn’t make much sense to record one right now, when I’m working on streamlining the whole process by adding the respective functionality to the support addon.

You can take a look at this video though:

It was made with an older version of Anki, which is why the importing dialog looks a bit different, and the recording also predates the whole Memrise card template thing, so you won’t see it in the video. But the general steps for importing should still be the same.

I can also assist with that directly, if you provide more details on what exactly doesn’t work for you or which step of the process isn’t quite clear.

Please help me,…
When I add a new word that includes both audio and choices, it creates 4 cards for that word, each with a different format. However, when I delete one format (i.e., one card for that word), the other 3 cards also disappear simultaneously. I want to find a way so that when I delete one card out of the 4 cards for a word, it doesn’t delete all of them, meaning the remaining 3 cards stay intact.

Thank you so much

Do you want to delete the same type of cards for all the words, or do you want to be able to select for each word which of the four cards should remain?

In the former case, you can use this approach:

The latter is a bit trickier. The shortcut solution would be to suspend the cards instead of deleting them (rightclickToggle Suspend (or Ctr+J) in the browser when the Cards selection mode is toggled, or MoreSuspend Card (Shift+2) during the review).

If you specifically need to delete a card, there is no direct way to do so manually – in Anki the cards are generated from the notes automatically based on the set rules (this is to allow easily add new types of cards, change translation directions, or generation conditions without needing to manually reform all the cards after each edit), so in order to be able to remove single cards you’ll need to modify the rules accordingly. I can provide detailed instructions for that, if you tell a bit more about what exactly are you trying to achieve.
