yes, i already have it on my website...

[cinq]

LangTuDaTinh , u managed to let users submit their own quizzes for admin approval ?

Could you share how you did it if so ?
Would sure be appreciated :)

[Floh]

Is it possible to stop the quiz at a definite time but still have the ability to view the results?

Thx,
Floh

[Zelda-King]

It's a little touch sensitive. If you accidentally press twice you forfeit the test. Can't it be made so the answers aren't counted until the test is complete, or one can restart the test until such time as they finish it and thus see the answers?

[Legendary Kid]

I get the same error as WheelzChair....

[lange]

Does this work with 2.3.0 ?

[Lethal]

yes, perfectly

[Areku]

Does it?!?!

Awesome!

/me licks install!!

[Areku]

Any chances to add a ALL TIME BEST PLAYERS at quiz's home?

[Areku]

Hey!

I need help too!

I added 2 quizzes with no images, then a third with an image, now the three quizzes have the same image?!?!?!

How come?

[Areku]

Btw @ movieforums.com... Movie quizzes show 10 but only 9 displayed... another bug?

[dezoris]

I had problems with the blank page loads, I had to add the ID and then I have seen no major bugs. Thank you again.

[Cloudrunner]

Not wanting to go through all 52 pages of this post, I went and fixed the admin CP slightly. If this is a double fix / post I apologize.

Anyways, What I did is make it so that the templates are listed under not your custom templates, but under the default templates under it's own collaspable category there. It also makes it so that ALL of your styles see the templates, and not just your default style so you don't have to worry about doing the manual additions.

Anyways, Ready?

Here we go:

1) Find the following bit of code in your admin/template.php:

$only['showgroup'] = 'Show Groups';

Directly below that add the following code:

//Quiz
$only['quiz'] = 'Quiz';
//End Quiz

2) Save and upload file.

3) using phpmyadmin or another similar manager for your mysql database run the following query (this simply changes the template id to '-1' so that it becomes part of the default templates.)

UPDATE `template` SET `templatesetid` = '-1' WHERE `title` LIKE '%quiz%';

(this should update ~46 templates.)

That's it, just reload your Admin CP and then view the templates. (The email and error templates for vBQuiz are under the 'email' and 'error' template categories ;))

This was done on 2.3.0, but should work for any 2.X version.

[Areku]

Superb! Thnks!

[Cloudrunner]

no problem, I was just surprised that I couldn't find anyone else who did this already ;)

[todd.o.callen]

What about vB3.0? Any reason why it shouldn't?

[Highlander]

i goit MYSQL error.. i installed everything.. created a categorie..than created an quiz and some questions..but when i wanna cvall this site:

[Areku]

Help!

I need support!

All of a sudden, ONLY THE TOP SCORES views stopped working, both the high and the all time scores...

ONLY those links are not working.

All it loads is an empty HTML page:


<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>


I doublechecked the tables, which seem fine.

I replaced the translated quiz.php with the original quiz.php

I checked carefully the templates but they all look fine (I just translated them and saw them WORKING for at least one month!)


Now I get nothing only on the popup contents!

Any explanation?

Can any1 help me finding out the source of the problem?


Thanks!

[Cloudrunner]

Have you checked your require('./global.php'); statement, and made sure that with that specific line that your file is located in the $ROOT/forum/ directory? If the file is in another directory, you'll need to do some finageling.

anytime you get a blank page, then you are either not calling $ROOT/forum/global.php properly, or your eval'd templates are screwing up. Typically it is due to $ROOT/forum/global.php not being called right.

[mustangheaven]

I installed the hack and added a quiz and all I get when I go to the quiz.php file is a blank page. Install was a success. Any hints on what could be wrong.

Thanks

[cinq]

Did u approve the quiz ?

[todd.o.callen]

Is there a way to hide the scores from all but admins?
I want to use this in a corporate environment, but we will
have legal problems if people's scores are generally available.

One way around it would be to allow multiple test results, but have the latest REPLACE the old score. This way, if they do poorly and don't retake the quiz, it's their own problem. If they do finally get a mastery level score, that is all that will be captured.

[todd.o.callen]

TWTCommish,

Can you help? Will this move to vB 3.0 with any hitches?

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

[Reoplex]

i just installed the quiz, its very nice :)

however, i do have a small problem. I added a quiz, questions, approved it....etc

but when i go to site.com/forums/quiz.php and click on the quiz, then click on the Take Quiz link, i get this error:

Error: invalid quiz specified.

Back to Main Quiz Page

any ideas of what could be wrong?

NOTHING will move to 3.0 without any hitches. The code is being more or less rewritten. Damn near every hack here will have to be rewritten as well...especially larger hacks such as this one.

[bharvey42]

I am getting some javascript errors that are popping up 1 per each quiz on the quiz listing page has anybody else experienced this?

Um i installed and eveyrthing but nothing shows up when i go to quiz.php =/ just a blank. What could be wrong?

edit: bah forget that lol i found out what happend. But another problem was that i submit the questions but they get deleted.

[snoopy2]

this is a very cool hack thx :)

any plans on having a system so a member can submit a quiz for approval by admin?, I think that kind of feature would be hugely popular.

[trackpads]

Does this quiz allow pictures in the questions? I use a PHP based script to do this but I would like a VB based one. I use it for Vehicle ID questions which require a picture and then possible answers etc.

I would be willing to pay someone to modify this to make it work like mine,

Thanks again,

Awesome hack! Installed!

I would also love if there was a way to allow people to create their own quizzes for submission to admin.

[Airs]

Is it possible to get a txt file so I can add templates manually? the install does not seem to work for me..

[dontpanic]

trackpads, yes you can use standard HTML in the question (and maybe even the answers) so you will get standard HTML output. I have been using images in some of my questions at MCSE World. You can check it if you like at www.mcseworld.com/forums/quiz.php, but you'd need to register to see them.

Bottom line, yes you can use pictures. :)

But i cant ad a picture to the quiz ?

Tried to ad <img src="http://www.dinside.no/km_bilde/6/107016.jpg"> to the Question, but the picture doesn't show in the quiz..

What could be the problem ?

[MrD]

Hi,
is there anywhere an option, to uninstall the quiz?

[verbum]

The installtion makes changes to some database tables, so you'll have to manually delete those (in addition, of course, to deleting the uploaded files and changes). If you're running MySQL and have phpmyadmin, just go to the settinggroup table.

Be sure to back up your files/database first.

[EvilWa]

I wish my users pay 50 points(storep of lesane's store) for per play, earn 2 points for each correct answer and earn 500 points if 100% correct!

However only found earn points addon.....
Anyone know how to add "pay for Quiz"?
Thanks a lot!

[NarutoX]

i really like the idea of this but was wondering if this could be intergrated with the storelike if you get a certain percentage you get x amnt of money and if you create a quiz you get x amount of money ;P

[NarutoX]

users cant add quizzes? :( this would be a cool addon

[Warlord]

How can I incorporate html into the quiz questions? When you add html to the questions, it works when viewing it in the admin cp, but not in the actual quiz itself. Any ideas?

[[H]Dazz]

Dazz]Hmm.. I'm running 2.3.4 in a test environment (localhost). The hack installed perfect it seems. However, when I try to take the quiz it's taking me to http://localhost/quiz.php?quizid=1&taking=1. If I try to go to http://localhost/forums/quiz.php?quizid=1&taking=1 it just returns back to the "Take this Quiz" menu. The quiz.php is physically located in http://localhost/forums/quiz.php. So, somehow the script is trying to access a wrong page and getting a 404 of course.

My test forums work fine and all paths are set correctly in vb config files.

Is there a place in the quiz.php that's making this look at a different directory?

[XJeepguy]

I just finished installing this and all went perfect , well except for one thing . Where are the templates ? My page says no quizzes loaded and such . Where do I find them ? Sorry if its a noob question :rolleyes:

Thanks in advance.

Still looking for help on getting this to work with vb3... may be willing to pay to have someone do the conversion for me. PM me or post here if interested.

[lmongello]

[insanctus]

I already have this for VB3 on my personal site. Was not to hard to port over.

[lmongello]

insanctus,

are you willing to share how to do it? (with lots of instructions for dopes like me?)

:-)

[insanctus]

Once I finish off a paid job I am working on , I will go thru and finish the quiz up (have a few little things to change but it is working fully as of now)

Mainly you just have to remember when doing these, is changing the calls in php, and then mass replacing in templates as well.

[sabret00the]

wow, light at the end of the tunnel :)

[lmongello]

insanctus,

Thanks for offering to make the modifications for all of us! If possible, can you include some relatively detailed instructions (e.g. eith regard to the templates, etc.) for amateurs like me? (rather than us bombarding you with requests and questions, etc.)

THANKS!!!

[Areku]

So cool insanctus!

Go ahead pppplllllzzzz! :P

[Areku]

Any update m8!?? ;)

[lmongello]

insantus... no pressuure here (just curious)... any sort of idea of how long it may be before you may have this ready to roll? Thanks!!! We appreciate it.

[TWTCommish]

Hi guys.

I'm still looking at updating this for vB 3 sometime soon. At least for the user side. It could be a month or two, though, as I can't yet justify putting so much free time into such a project. I do plan to rewrite it, though.

[sabret00the]

does that mean Insanctus won't be allowed to release his port of the code?

[TWTCommish]

Not necessarily. But I do think he's underestimating just what the port involves. He says it's just a matter of search-and-replace, but when I re-wrote vB Glossary to work with vB 3, it was more than that. Certain functions need to be renamed...others are flat-out gone. Navbars are constructed differently. Etc.

If he wants to release his own version, he can. If and when I do it, I'll do it by devoting the time to it that it deserves, to ensure that it meets the high standards of the first one.

thank you, i can't wait to see it, as theirs a few quiz hacks in production at the moment and this has been such an integral part of my forums. :)

[Areku]

Definetly on my movie one too...

Insanctus hasn't reapeared on this thread anyway... he hasn't report any problems with his port also..

[insanctus]

I figure let the 'creator' release his.

Only trouble with mine is I switched the tags in templates.

I been playing with the two scripts in my sig, more fun :)

[lmongello]

I have been speaking with someone who may be interested in developing the quiz with vB integration like the original hack, but may be looking to sell the final product for a small fee for all of his work. Would anyone be interested in this? If so, what type of cost do you think is reasonable?

I have a quiz on my site, but want to get one like this up ASAP. Although I would like the original developer to do it, please understand that I am hesitatnt to wait a couple of months and not be sure it will ever be released.

[Areku]

I already said YES as long as we can import the old scores and results and so on...

[TWTCommish]

How much genuine interest is in there in purchasing an updated version for a small fee, assuming it works with the data from the original hack? If there's enough, I might be able to justify giving it a much higher priority.

[Areku]

You have at least 3 webmasters interested, you put the price... I definetly need it working on vb3 with the old data in it, of course ;)

[lmongello]

If you can get a working version quickly, I would be interested in paying a fee for it (assuming it works, of course) ;)

[Areku]

So? ;)

[TWTCommish]

Thank you for your patience.

[Emmy2]

This is a really nice hack. I've added it but am trying to fine tune it. I've just spent about 3 hours reading through this thread and trying the different suggestions for getting the hack to do what I'd like.

I've figured out one thing that was not successfully answered in the thread and would like to share the information.

This is for how to add an image to a quiz question. The various fixes already suggested didn't work for me (ie. changing the View Images option in the control panel to "yes", using the img vbcodes to insert the image (just got a link when I did that), using html code (didn't work because my board doesn't accept html so I just got the code, no image) and then finally Chris's suggestion for making one forum on the board accept html and then using that forum number in the quiz.php code. That is actually the way I got it to work but the original information was incorrect. Post numbers 548, 549 and 551 outline the problem and suggested fix.

The suggestion was to change this code....

$quiz[description] = bbcodeparse($quiz[description]);

to this....

$quiz[description] = bbcodeparse($quiz[description], X);

(where X is the number of a forum on your board that accepts html...I set my managment forum (number 13) to accept html since only only admins have access to it)

anyway, the correct change should be to find this code in quiz.php....

$question[questiontext] = bbcodeparse($question[questiontext]);

and change it to this....

$question[questiontext] = bbcodeparse($question[questiontext], X);

Again, replacing X with the number of a forum on your board which accepts html. The reason this works and the other didn't....your image is in the text of the question, not the description of the quiz!

Anyway, this worked like a charm for me and I can now add images to quiz questions using html so I hope it helps others as well.

IMPORTANT EDIT: read on a few posts to see how to accomplish image insertion using VBCODE instead of html (even if your previous vbcode didn't work)!!!!!

[Emmy2]

One other important note...

If you also want the image to show up on the results page (instead of the html code showing) you need to also do the same fix on the $result[questiontext] line.

[Areku]

Where can we see this in action emmy2?

[Emmy2]

LOL, you caught me off-guard! I'm still fiddling with my Quiz Center and have a lot of wonky display (haven't released it to my members yet) but give me a day or two and I'll set up a quiz and a test user account if anyone wants to have a look.

[Emmy2]

STOP THE PRESSES!!

There is another way to do this without using html!!!

I just kept thinking about the process....what the change in code was essentially doing was telling the system to parse the question text field just like it parses text in the forum specified (in my case forumid 13). So, because I enabled html in forum 13 it would parse any html I entered in the quiz question, and hence display my images.

BUT, I got to thinking......maybe the problem with using the vbcodes (in my case using vbcodes didn't work...I just got the image url as a link) was because it wasn't told what forum to mimic for parsing vbcodes. In other words.....if I have vbcode enabled in forum 13 and I tell it to mimic forum 13 (by replacing the X in the previous code) and then I USE vbcode in the quiz question will it work? The answer is YES!!!! I tried it! (so actually right now, I can use both html and vbcodes to insert images....unless I remove the html permissions for forum 13).

So for anyone who can't get images to show up in quiz questions using vbcode (ie. you get a link instead of an image) all you need to do is tell it to mimic one of your forums that has vbcode enabled (all of mine do, so any forum number will work) and then use VBCODE to insert your images!!!

I prefer this method as I'm always hesitant to enable html anywhere, even for other mods/admins.

Where's the happy dancing emoticon??? :p

[Emmy2]

ok, this is very very rough but I've put a quiz up on my site that uses images (the first image is posted using html, the second using vbcodes...so you can see both work with the modification). I've also created a test account for anyone who wants to log in to view the quiz.

I'm putting the information inside code tags so I only get vbulletin traffic....also, I will remove the test account after a bit so if you miss the trial period you'll have to register to the site.

The test account is....

username: vbulletin
password: vbtest

Address for a quiz using images....

http://bonanzaworld.net/forums/quiz.php?s=&quizid=6



I'm sure I could do a lot more with the code and tags (like centering the image etc.) but this is just a rough mock-up.

[Emmy2]

My brain is still working here.....

I wonder if it's possible to use images in the ANSWER fields. For example, the question is "Which of the pictures below is the winkey smiley?" and then the four choices are pictures ....

- :)
- :D
- ;)
- :(

And respondents choose the right picture by clicking the radio button next to it. Seems doable, will check it out.

[lmongello]

Looks great.. too bad it's not for vb3 :ermm:

[Emmy2]

Yes it is possible to put images in your answer text using a very similar modification to the script (although watch out for the replacement variable for correct_answer).

[TWTCommish]

Just to let you all know, I've fiddled with the old code a bit and so far things are going well. I've got a few new ideas that I'll be exploring. All in all it could be a few more weeks, at least, until I've got some kind of beta version out, but I'll keep at it and update you all before long.

[cinq]

Fantastic Chris :D
Using the existing version, can't wait for what you have in store for us in the next :)

[Emmy2]

I really love this script and am having fun setting it up for my members to use.

Chris (or anyone if you can help) is it possible to display how many questions are in a quiz on the Recently Added Quizzes page (along with the title and description information), and on the quizid page (where it lists top scorers)? So instead of say, 9, it would say 9/10? I think I saw this on someone else's quiz page here. Right now the only place the number of questions shows up is on the Results page when it tells you you got 9 out of 10 (90%) correct. I tried a few things (just inserting the $question_count variable I found on the results page on those other pages but it didn't work....also tried $quiz[question_count] but that didn't work either....maybe cuz I'm just guessing here :p).

Is there a way to do this? Any help much appreciated!

[Emmy2]

I've got another question about vbquiz. I used the add-on below so my users can leave comments on quizzes....I have 2 questions though....one, the comments entered are displayed from oldest to newest....is there a way to have them display from newest to oldest? (essentially the opposite of what I have in the forums, but it would seem to work better for the quizzes to have the most recent comments at the top). Second, the comments just pile up infinitely...ie. they don't ever go onto a second page. Not that I'm expecting LOTS of comments on the quizzes but if over time I accumulated 40 or 50 comments that's a lot to display on one page. Anything that can be done for that?

Any help appreciated.

(Hoping for update on the vb3 integration) :)

[bjornstrom]

Just to let you all know, I've fiddled with the old code a bit and so far things are going well. I've got a few new ideas that I'll be exploring. All in all it could be a few more weeks, at least, until I've got some kind of beta version out, but I'll keep at it and update you all before long.

I am still offering you the money i mentioned earlier in this thread. Our site is called http://www.99mac.se/ and were dedicated to Mac (in Swedish...).

We use vb quiz for testing our members in Macintosh knowledge (how many USB-ports does the original imac have - what is the name of Steve Jobs' wife) :)

[TWTCommish]

(Hoping for update on the vb3 integration) :)
Sure thing. :)

Simply put, I've got a mostly-working vB3-compatible version up and running, admin integration included, with all the same features as the 2.x version, as well as a few more.

I'm going to be putting a fair amount of time into it over the next few days, and the coming weekend. I'll be surprised if I don't have a working, tested vB Quiz for vB3 completed within a few weeks, at most.

[lmongello]

Thanks, TWT!! I (we) appreciate the hard work and effort, as well as keeping us apprised of your status!

[sabret00the]

any update on this?

[TWTCommish]

Yes. After a brief break to attend to some other things, I've begun working on this again in the last couple of days. Most of the work has revolved around creating the new quiz templates, which are mostly finished, but still need some work. The basic core of the script is done, and has been for a couple of weeks; you can create quizzes, users can take them, and see their results. Most of rhe work left falls under the following headings:

Fine-tuning (and reworking parts of) the admin script
Modifying and eventually finalizing the default quiz templates
Making the final decision as to which features to include with the original, standard release of the hack
Two things that have not yet begun are the integration into the phrase system (shouldn't take long), and the installation script.

My plan is to sell this initially, given the fact that it has required a larger amount of work than most hacks, and a great deal of original coding. It is possible that, sometime down the line, a scaled-down free version will be released.

I'll be working on it more this week, and weekend, and likely contacting those interested in purchasing it sometime next week. Meanwhile, if anyone else is interested, please post in this thread, or PM me, and I'll update you personally when the script is ready for use.

[lmongello]

Add me to the list of interested people. Thanks!

[Areku]

^Me too :P

[harman]

I'm also interested.

Will users be able to post quizzes up for admin approval, or do mods/admins still have to do it?

[lmongello]

Any update on timetable? Thanks! :)

[TWTCommish]

Still tough to say. The templates are probably 90-95% done, the upgrade script is about 85% finished, and most of the new features are about done, too.

And yes, the new, commercial version will have a form through which users can submit quizzes, and will be subject to approval from the admin.

We're probably looking at another week or two.

[sabret00the]

i am most definately interested in purchasing this, btw is their a option in this where you can have the standard (vb2) show results screen and an enhance quiz +++++ results screen to quizzes (i.e. you got 80% that makes you a blah blah blah, post this code in your journal).

[John Crichton]

Does this work on the lastest version of VB??

[sabret00the]

Does this work on the lastest version of VB??
latest vb2 or vb3?

[John Crichton]

version 3.0.1

[sabret00the]

then the answer would be no, this is for version 2.2.X

[John Crichton]

is there a quiz hack for 3.0.1?

[TWTCommish]

No, not yet. Which is what we've been discussing for the last several pages. :)

An improved, vB 3.0-compatible version will be available for sale sometime in the next few weeks, however.

[Silverdawn222]

For sale, bah... means I won't be able to get it. Ah well. I hope someone will make a free version. :)

[lmongello]

Any under-development screenshots to post??? :)

[Areku]

Yeah pleeeeeeeeeeez!

[thedentist]

I'm also interested.

I am interested in the (for pay) script as it was very popular on my forums before I moved to vB3.

Thanks for the work you're putting into this.

Craig

[TWTCommish]

You guys have been wonderfully patient, so I'll grant your request, and give you a peek...

[Erwin]

Very very very cool. :)

I'd be interested in this when it is released. :) Let me know.

[sabret00the]

they look cool, what's the ETA now do you reckon?

and also can i repeat this question

[lmongello]

(Drooooool) :D

[TWTCommish]

they look cool, what's the ETA now do you reckon?

and also can i repeat this question
I'm not really sure what the question means, to be honest.

As for ETA...it depends on too many other things. If this were all I did with my time, it'd have been done a couple weeks ago. If my other responsibilities keep me busy, it could be another week and a half to two weeks. If not, maybe by the end of the week. I'm not sure yet. Sorry...that's as specific as I can accurately get.

[sabret00the]

that's ok and i'll re-ask the question clearer with another in addition

will there be quizzes where you can answer with a text box instead of an option?

and will we be able to make quizzes with personalised finishing screens. i.e. "you got 90% you are the one, you entered the internet and quickly renamed yourself neo" you know like most online quizzes.

[TWTCommish]

will there be quizzes where you can answer with a text box instead of an option?No; way too complicated, for now. There'd be tons of issues to deal with...capitalization, spelling. Basically, to work realistically it'd have to give the admin the ability to list multiple answers which would be acceptable (IE: if the question was "Who was the 21st President of the United States?", it'd never do to have the answer be "Chester A. Arthur" -- you'd need to make Arthur, Chester Arthur, Chester A Arthur, and Chester A. Arthur all acceptable).

So, it's do-able, but that's more likely to be in a future release, along with a few other ambitious ideas.


and will we be able to make quizzes with personalised finishing screens. i.e. "you got 90% you are the one, you entered the internet and quickly renamed yourself neo" you know like most online quizzes.No, not at this point. The results page is roughly the same as it was in 1.0; the changes have been in templates, settings and phrases, and in a few new features, which some of you may or may not have noticed from the screenshots I posted earlier. ;)

[TWTCommish]

wouldn't it just be as simple as a search function, if FIELDXX containts "XXXXX" then correct else wrong type thing
No, because, as I mentioned, almost any text-based user input will have many possible variations, all of which could conceivably be "right." Also, the answer table and temporary answer tables would have to be modified, and the function which grades the quiz would need to be reworked, too. Sadly, it's just not as simple as it sounds. If it was, I probably would've done it already.

[sabret00the]

sorry to hear that would've made an awesome feature, well if you plan do decide to add it to 3.0 then i'll definately be wnating to upgrade.

[TWTCommish]

I do hope to add it at some point, but the hack's taken awhile anyway and I'd hate to keep all these people waiting too much longer. Just gonna fix some of the bugs and try to go from there. But I'll definitely add it to the to-do list for future versions.

[sabret00the]

that's good to hear, i mean no one wants this more than me, it's the only thing i'm left waiting on in order to upgrade my site to vb3

[fechten]

You guys have been wonderfully patient, so I'll grant your request, and give you a peek...
Cool. I noticed a timer for a question. Will the hack only allow setting time by question, or will there be a feature to set a time limit for the entire quiz?

Craig

[TWTCommish]

Cool. I noticed a timer for a question. Will the hack only allow setting time by question, or will there be a feature to set a time limit for the entire quiz?Not directly, but sort of. The hack will allow you to set a default limit with each quiz, and then a specific limit for each question. If you give the quiz a limit of 10, the user will have 10 seconds to answer each question...but if you enter a limit for a specific question, that time will override the quiz's limit.

Time limits for the entire quiz are a little trickier (I'm not the JavaScript maven I'd like to be), but among the possibilities for future versions.

[sabret00the]

for the results bit, this kinda shows you what i'm on about
http://www.youthink.com/quiz.asp?action=take&quiz_id=458

[TWTCommish]

for the results bit, this kinda shows you what i'm on about
http://www.youthink.com/quiz.asp?action=take&quiz_id=458
Yeah, I see what you mean. That's beyond the scope of this particular hack. A pretty sizable portion of it would have to be re-written to work that way. As it stounds now many portions of the hack rely on set numbers and the like. If I were to create a hack like that, it'd probably be off on it's own.

Anyway, I've finished all the major issues I can think of with this hack, and have begun some light testing. Unless the testing uncovers some major problems (unlikely), it should be done by the end of the week.

[sabret00the]

see i'm a dreamer thought it could've been done as simply as
if ($quizresultsstyle == new)
{
if ($score > 60% and $score < 80%)
{
eval('$quizresults .= "' . fetch_template('quiz_resultstwo') . '";');
}
}any chances of this in the future thought chris?

[sabret00the]

oh and will users be able to add quizzes? or will it still be mods only?

[kira]

According to this post by Chris (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=525293&postcount=891):

And yes, the new, commercial version will have a form through which users can submit quizzes, and will be subject to approval from the admin.

Chris, I am soooo psyched for this! Quizzes have been very popular on my site, and I'm thrilled to see that vb3 will have its own version soon, especially by the original creator. I hope it's not too expensive, 'cause me = poor, but I'll be happy to support you for all the hard work you've been putting into it.

One thing I haven't noticed yet (it might be earlier in the thread, my apologies for not reading too far back): will you include the add-on where people can see the newest added quizzes and/or the top quiz winners on forumhome or a nonvb page? 'Cause that one rocks. :)

[sabret00the]

oops, sorry i got so excited :o

[sabret00the]

i just realised the only reason i been waiting on this is for the store integration, is that as standard and if not, would you be willing to add it for an additional fee?

[TWTCommish]

}
}any chances of this in the future thought chris?Oh. I thought you'd meant something different. In that case, yeah, it can be done...but I imagine you'd need different templates not only for each result, but for each quiz, too. It's not quite as simple as that one statement, since the script supports more than one quiz.


i just realised the only reason i been waiting on this is for the store integration, is that as standard and if not, would you be willing to add it for an additional fee?I think I'd be available for that, yeah. If it's just a few queries to update a point total in a table upon completion of a quiz, it probably wouldn't cost much, either.

This is just about ready for release. I had a forum owner test it for me, spotted a few bugs, and have fixed almost all of them. There are a few minor formatting changes, and then it should be ready to go. I will post here and PM all of you as soon as it's ready; either tonight, or else Wednesday.

Thanks again for your patience, everyone.

[kira]

No, thank you for your fast work -- and for that matter, for creating this ingenious hack in the first place. Can't wait to see the new version!

[sabret00the]

i had a look at it on one of the test sites, it's droolworthy, can't wait to install it :D

I've got another person quasi-testing this. I'm confident that any bugs left are minor, and mostly cosmetic. I should be releasing this tomorrow; I'll start a new thread and post the link to it here, as well as PM those who asked to be notified of updates.

In regards to kira's questions about that plugin; yes, I think I can whip something up. I'd like to release the hack first, though, and then release the add-on in that thread (no charge, of course...that'd be gouging). But it shouldn't be any problem to release something relatively simple to display a recent quiz or the hardest quiz on the forum main page.

[Erwin]

When I was running this with vB2, I had this integrated with my own points system. :)

People had to use up points to play a quiz, and each answer they got right, they got points too.

I look forward to doing the same with the vB3 version. :)

[TWTCommish]

No, as I stated before (I believe), I won't be including integration with other hacks in the standard release; wouldn't really be "standard" if I did. I'm open to certain modifications after the hack's release (today, hopefully), and available for hire if the modifications are particularly significant or complicated, but at this point I'd really just like to get the basic script polished and released.

[Erwin]

A couple of major bugs:

1) A user submitting a quiz does not pass his or her description.

2) When editing a quiz, you erase the user's userid.

A couple of suggestions:

1) Ability to upload image by user.

2) Ability for user to set time limit.

[Erwin]

Okay, to fix the edit quiz username being deleted problem,

In admin_quiz.php,

Find:


if ($quiz[image] && $image_name && !$replaceconfirm) {
$author = get_userid($author);


Replace with:


$author = get_userid($author);
if ($quiz[image] && $image_name && !$replaceconfirm) {

[Erwin]

To add the standard editor templates to the cache, and saving many queries when a user submit a quiz, change the actiontemplate code to this in quiz.php:


// pre-cache templates used by specific actions
$actiontemplates = array(
'addquiz' => array(
'editor_clientscript',
'editor_jsoptions_font',
'editor_jsoptions_size',
'editor_smilie_wysiwyg',
'editor_smilie_standard',
'editor_smiliebox',
'editor_smiliebox_category',
'editor_smiliebox_row',
'editor_smiliebox_straggler',
'editor_smiliemenu_category',
'editor_smiliemenu_smilie',
'editor_toolbar_wysiwyg',
'editor_toolbar_standard',
'newpost_disablesmiliesoption',
),
);

Fixed the WYSIWYG description problem for user submit - before, all user submitted descriptions were blank.

In quiz.php.

Find:


require_once('./includes/functions_editor.php');


Replace with:


$vboptions['allowvbcodebuttons'] = '1';
require_once('./includes/functions_editor.php');


Then find:


require_once('./includes/functions_wysiwyg.php');
$quiz_description = convert_wysiwyg_html_to_bbcode($_POST['WYSIWYG_HTML']);


Replace with:


// require_once('./includes/functions_wysiwyg.php');
$quiz_description = $message;

[Erwin]

By the way, my fixes are for the vB3 version, not the vB2 version. :)

[Erwin]

To allow members to submit time limit is easy to do too.

Only template mods needed, since the code is already in quiz.php

In quiz_add template,

Find:


$vbphrase[category]:<br />
<select name="quiz_catid">
$catbits
</select>
</td>
</tr>


Below add:


<tr>
<td width="100%" class="smallfont"><br />
Time limit per question in seconds:<br />
<input type="text" class="bginput" name="quiz_timelimit" size="5" maxlength="5" tabindex="1" />
</td>
</tr>


Then in quiz_add_questions template, find:


<input type="hidden" name="quiz_description" value="$quiz_description">


Below add:


<input type="hidden" name="quiz_timelimit" value="$quiz_timelimit">


Done!

I used to run this hack in my vb2.x board, now I run vb3.01. is there a vb3.0 version of this hack?

[Holidazed]

No, not yet. Which is what we've been discussing for the last several pages. :)

An improved, vB 3.0-compatible version will be available for sale sometime in the next few weeks, however.
Nevermind. I would love it if someday I actually read the threads prior to posting message.

TWT, any luck on a due date for this?

[NietzscheKid]

Hello,

I am also interested in this quiz. I will send you a pm?

[kaotic]

Thanks for the fixes, Erwin.

PS:
bitg: There already is a vB3 version, but its not for free. Contact the author for more info.

[TWTCommish]

Many thanks to Erwin, who caught a few bugs, and, as you can see above, wrote a few modifications to the hack for anyone who might want to alter some of the functionality. :)

could you mail me a list of any add-ons you got ;)

[TWTCommish]

Oh, I was referring to the ones listed in this thread. Most of them are pretty straightforward. Some I deliberately decided not to include, but others might have some use for them. Just wanted to thank him for his time and effort. :)

[Areku]

1) is it me or, no matter how many seconds u put as per limit, if you don't answer due to time limit, quiz thinks you answered right?!?!

2) do you people get this "Could not find phrase 'quiz_already_taken'" when trying to redo a quiz already completed?

3) we're only 89 registered members. I don't know the 89, may be just 5 or 6 people, but i have my quiz set up so you can only do quizzes once. Now, a quiz reports it has been completed...105 times!!!

Even if the switch would not be working correctly, it would also mean ALL of the users did the quiz or most of them did it twice!!

Ne1 else suffering from this?

[sabret00the]

i'm wondering if it's just me or is that every quiz a user submits the correct answer defaults to the first option?

Ne1 else suffering from this? I PMd you about this some time ago. I don't think I've heard back yet:

sabre: I have a patch for that. It has afflicted a few users. I'll have it right out to you.

[Areku]

RE: 1) haven't tried yet
RE: 2) I guess it's just not me...;)
RE: 3) Initially i had the option "allow redo the quiz" to yes but quickly turned it off... Now counts are more "normal"... will let u know if problem ever reappears ;)

RE sabre problem, I do think I suffered from that problem too... what's the patch about? ;)

[Areku]

Btw, any addon to show the all time score cards? ;)

We bought the vBQuiz 2.0 for vBulletin 3+ and we have some probs. Check it out here: http://99mac.se/forum/quiz.php

Some members start the quizzes at the second or fourth question even if they have never done it before. Also some images dont show and its very slow. Any answers? Please PM.

Hi bjorn. Could you email me a list of problems to me? The speed is probably nothing that can be fixed; it runs fine for me on several different servers, so I'd have to imagine it's a host issue.

As for the second or fourth question...there's probably a problem with the displayorder. I'll fire a PM off to you with my email address so I can help you get to the bottom of it. :)

[pgowder]

Where can I get vBQuiz 2.0??

[VViper]

Does this quiz run on VB3?

[SaN-DeeP]

Where can I get vBQuiz 2.0?? you need to buy a license for 20$ from author of this hack TWTCommish, i love this hack and planning to buy 1 for me soon :)


Does this quiz run on VB3?Yeah the new version vbquiz 2.0 runs on vb3.x available for just 20$

Regards,

[Carforumsnet]

TWTCommish check your email :) I just dropped you an email with a problem I am having with VBQuiz2

I send you a PM with the email addy I sent it from

Hey TWT...

I bought this hack and really like it. So do my members. I was wondering if there were any upgrades planned? Kind of looking forward to "usergroup permissions" integration... :nervous:

This is one of the features that I installed on my forums to intice people to join and post, unfortunately, currently anyone can play, guests and all... :rolleyes:

you can stop that with a conditional :)

[tanyeri24]

demo link and screens link are both dead. please explaining if its free or not? I read something about 20$ and please put fresh screens or new demo link. thx in advance.

[Delphiprogrammi]

does this even work with 3.07 ?

[Mechanical Mind]

you can stop that with a conditional :)

Can you help me with the conditional? I'm all of the drive, but none of the skill!!! :disappointed:

I'm not sure how that could be. The hack, as written, requires that members be registered to take a quiz.

[Mechanical Mind]

I'm not sure how that could be. The hack, as written, requires that members be registered to take a quiz.

Hi TWT. You would know best, that's for sure. I was ASSUMING that guests could play it. You have cleared that up. Sorry about that. I sure don't want to talk bad about a great hack. I just assumed that because there was no usergroup settings in AdminCP that this was the case.

However, I run my site on a series of semi-complex promotions. And I don't want every registered member to be able to play.

I want only three groups to be able to play:

- Administrators
- Moderators
- Registered Users (who have posted)

I guess this is the jist of what I am asking about.

[psoexplorer]

I'm trying to install this, I read about 20-ish pages so far to find the answer to my problem but when I realised there were 66 I thought no way. So I'm sorry if this has been asked before.

I cant run the install_quiz.php - it's a blank page. What am I doing wrong? I've uploaded all 3 files to the correct folders, but when I go to www.mysite.com/forum/admincp/install_quiz.php I just get a blank white page.

This hack is quite old, and only runs on vBulletin 2.x.

[tnguy3n]

Hello TWTCommish,

I'd like to port this great hack to vb3 if it's ok to you. or there is someout out there already was undertaking this project?

[TWTCommish]

Hello TWTCommish,

I already have, actually, and it's available as a commercial hack. :)

[psoexplorer]

No chance of a free version then? Oh well.

[flex22]

Hmm, how would you pay for it then? I just clicked download and the download started.

Anyway I'm running vb 3.07, I'll PM you TWTCommish, this looks like just what I'm after.

[TWTCommish]

Just to clear things up: the hack in this thread is for vBulletin 2.x. It's no longer supported, but should still work for anyone who's running an old enough version of vB.

[Dio]

I already have, actually, and it's available as a commercial hack. :)
Do you have a link that I can go to so that I can purchase this hack? :)

[Holidazed]

Is this hack going to be re-written for vBB v3.5?? This is an awesome addition and would hate to lose it. In addition, I have paid for it.

[tormodg]

Yup, same question here - I have paid for the vb3 version of the hack. I'd gladly pay for an upgrade, too, if it materializes. :)

[echee]

Great hack TWTCommish

Can I ask if quizpro allows for every quiz question to be displayed on a new page? (1 page per question)

[lmongello]

Things not looking too good here... Continually getting this error message via email:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.6:

Invalid SQL: INSERT INTO quiz_temp (user_aid, user_qid, userid, timecheck, timeout) VALUES (, 2, 5407, 1129073524, 0) mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near ' 2, 5407, 1129073524, 0)' at line 1

Any thoughts, help? Thanks!

[Boofo]

Zero Tolerance did one for 3.5 that works quite well.

[TWTCommish]

We can hope anyway.. ;)

Yes, it will be updated. Should be done and tested shortly after the holidays.

[biggazillakilla]

Yes, it will be updated. Should be done and tested shortly after the holidays.Any updates?

[lmongello]

Any updates?

Yeah, hoping for something soon! I'm still using vb 3.0x and having some problems with the quizzes, which are very ver popular!!!

:)

[Snake]

Is there any live demo for this or screenshots at least?

[vinod]

I uploaded the files, but I cannot get it installed. I am running vBulletin 3.5.3, and I cannot move on getting a cpheader() function error.

Please help me install this.

Thank you
