Inferno Quiz v2.1

[amykhar]

I hacked up a quick CMPS module for y'all. The screenshot I've provided does NOT look like the code I've given you. My quiz code stores the quiz's author's name and userid. The default Inferno Quiz does not. So, the version I have uploaded shows only the title of and link to the latest quiz.

[amykhar]

And, one more quiz for y'all. This one is on the U.S. Memorial Day holiday.

[Hoang Tu Ao Den]

Thanks for this hack. Installed !
I have one small question, the last step on your instructions said:
CHMOD the following files/folders to '0777':
includes/
images/

Is is neccesary ?
Thanks

No, neither is necessary - but the others mentioned are (the quiz folder, and the settings file).

[amykhar]

Another Mod. This one improves the Who's Online Page to show which quiz the viewer is taking or which stats the user is viewing. This borrows heavily from the ibproarcade hack.

[jaks]

Great hack,

I saw this question on page 16 but didn't see any response. Is there an option for retaking a quiz? It would be nice for some sort of time option aswell. ( Time between taking a quiz a second time).

Jaks

[Neutral Singh]

Thanks amykhar for these useful hacks... :)

[brianstevz]

I modified this to work with vBa. Borrowed heavily from tcs random arcade hack.

Jaks
No. There's not. Right now, once you take a quiz you can't take it again.

[-=Sniper=-]

any chance so guests can view only?

[amykhar]

Yes. In the Quiz Template, remove the if clause that prohibits Guests from viewing. Then, set each quiz so that Guests may not take the quiz.

[amykhar]

$Results[] = "<tr><td><a href='quiz.php?$session[sessionurl]do=UserStat&userid={$Result['r_userid']}&id={$Quiz['qid']}'>{$Result['username']} </a></td> <td>{$Result['r_score']}%</td></tr>";


I had a slight problem with this mod in that it put a bunch of commas above the result table. To solve that, I changed:

$Submissions = implode(",",$Results);

to

$Submissions = implode(" ",$Results);

[dsboyce8624]

When I click submit at the end of a quiz I always get the "You have already taken this quiz" error.

It also takes about 5 minutes to come back with results.

I just installed it and I know I haven't taken them yet, any ideas?

Have you installed any of the mods in this thread or are you using the base code?

[dsboyce8624]

Just what I downloaded from the first post.

[Hoang Tu Ao Den]

Great Hack.
I have one suggestion,
There's a big way to cheat this Quiz system, user can Take The Quiz. And when it show up, they can remember / copy/ print all the questions out and close the browser. At that time, they have all the questions, and the system won't show that they took the quiz.

I used this hack for award prize, so ... it's a big problem for me... if it is so easy to cheat like this.

Anyway to make it, if they see it, then they can't take it again ?

Or, make it where the user close the browser then it will pop up an error like : You haven't finish the quiz, are you sure you want to quit ? ... or we will only grade what you have done
so far if you close the browser ......... ?

[amykhar]

Just what I downloaded from the first post.
Queck your quiz_results database table and see what's in there.

[banshee]

Well I use it for contests to but I make it so they can not see the answers to the quiz when completed. I don't want them giving all the answers away to other members.

[amykhar]

This is what I consider a bug-fix. Y'all may consider it a mod. Either way, it changes how quizzes are scored.

Right now, if you take a quiz that has questions with multiple correct answers, it is possible for you to score higher than 100% on the entire quiz. This change fixes that.

(This is because the old version checked all the actual right answers, but didn't keep a count of the possible number of right answers)

[deb0]

Ok, this looks awesome! I am gonna try it out tonight. A Ucash addon would be even 'mobetter'

[Turbosport]

When I click submit at the end of a quiz I always get the "You have already taken this quiz" error.

I get this exact same problem any ideas people.

[amykhar]

I get this exact same problem any ideas people.
As I asked the other guy, please look at the quiz_results table and see if there are any results in there under your userid. Can anybody else on your forum take quizzes? If so, what makes you different from them? To help you fix a bug that most of us don't see, we need more info.

[amykhar]

Another mod for lazy admins like me. I love the ability to set usergroup permissions on a per-quiz basis. I HATE having to put them in using the javascript interface every time I add a quiz. Most times, I want the same usergroups to be able to use most quizzes.

So, I hacked this up to save me time. It's not pretty like Scot's javascript, but it gets the job done AND it maintains the ability for me to edit a quiz and change the permissions for a specific quiz.

Change the default usergroups to suit your needs. Obviously, mine won't work for you.

I only see resluts for the ones I have actually taken. And I now understand that it's doing the same thing for all users, not just me. The person who said it worked fine was a bonehead.

Sorry for the delay.

I am having absolutely no problem taking quizzes on your site using firefox. And, as it seems that you can take some quizzes (I see your scores), your first bug report isn't quite accurate. This doesn't always happen to you. Which specific quiz is giving you grief?

By the way, you didn't change the Eddie Albert question. He died last month :D

They all post my results, but when I click submit, it takes about 5 minutes, then says "you already too it" then if I go to look at the results they are there.

Must be an IE thing, I had a problem with IE and vBChat as well. After a bout a month it was figured out. I don't know how this could relate though.

Maybe have to look at what function happens when you click the submit button.

I'm going to try one of yours with IE and see what happens. I know yours is way modded, but just to check.

Thanks for looking, it figures it's an IE thing.

PS - I know he died, but I've been lazy.

Dennis

EDIT: Okay, it works fine on yours. Which means I screwed something up. Damnit!!!

[dsboyce8624]

Okay, I took one of mine. After about 4 miutes of waiting I just hit stop and went to view the scores. The score I submitted was there, but the page had never come back.

Any ideas on what could cause this?

[amykhar]

Try optimizing your database. Also, try pinging your server from your isp and see if you are lagging somehow. It sounds like it's timing out on you for some reason, and it shouldn't. It's a really simple function that does the submit. How does it behave on your site with firefox? I'm pretty much stumped because I don't see the problem happening.

Amy

[rinkrat]

Here's a King of the Hill quiz. How about sharing some of yours if you have an original one?

[OrangeFlea]

How does one add a "Top 200, 300, etc." link at the bottom. It maxes out at "top 100" and there's more than that.

[MorrisMcD]

Sweet Hack.. Thanks for your talent :)

[MorrisMcD]

Oh and thx for the extra quizzes to you all that posted them..

Love this addition.. Should be implemented into the next version and every hack that it applies to for that matter :)

[midnightz]

I would like to strip away the postbit being included in the PM as mine is very custom. I searched the thread and might have missed it, but I would like the scores to be displayed or emailed if not then a PM is fine but can you please advise how I can strip the postbit and just send the basic quiz info to the pm system.

I looked and had no luck

Thanks

[sdsvtdriver]

I just installed this mod and have a question.

When I submit a quiz, it has to be approved by moderators. Can this be changed?

When I submit a quiz, and 'allow' it, it is closed. I have to go in and open it, then set permissions. Can it be incorporated that when a user submits a quiz, its active for a default usergroup set?

[owner]

Ok iam getting this error....

Warning: in_array(): Wrong datatype for second argument in /quiz.php on line 353

Although ive approved the quiz from the admin and i can view the stats of the quiz. But when i try taking the quiz... i End up getting this error on the top of my screen and this in the quiz box.

[lanc3lot]

Hello, just installed, no problems..

3 questions though...

- Can i permit somehow, my users to take the same quiz more than one time?
- U say u can upload an image with every quiz. What size must be the image? (it seems after testing, that this must be 198x30) although in the pics you have in the first post, it shows it has different size Can this be changed somehow?
- Can i add a picture inside a single question? For example, we can show an image that the question reffers to and the user can reply a question based on the picture :D

Thnx in advance :)

ok it has been replied :)

For your information, (for new users for example) the answers were:

1st) No it cant be done

2) it doesnt have any sizes...it was my fault

3) Yes it can be done, by inserting BB Code

:)

[lanc3lot]

Hm feature for the next version: In the postbit template, to appear the champions in each Quiz :) (if the user it is i mean )

And ofcourse, the ability the user to play again the quiz

Just comment out the line with the getrowcolor. I wrote this for an older version of the portal. It works fine without that line in it.

Hello,

I'm having a slight problem. The Overall leaderboard isn't showing the average result for all the quizzes the user has taken.

e.g.

http://allboards.lionhead.com/quiz.php?do=Leaderboard&type=all

Could this be because I'm using version 3.0.1 ?

Regards,

Jamie

[T3MEDIA]

Why not from the quiz results link them with members that had the same results?

That would be hot

No. That isn't a feature of the quiz system. I have it added in mine - it's not that hard to do.

[syrus.xl]

Well I'm nearly ready to change over my site to vBulletin, which I'm still modding.

However, I installed the Inferno Quiz which is excellent - but is there anywhere where I can get more quiz lists from? I've looked but cannot seem to find any. :disappointed:

Seems a tedious job of inputting loads of questions and answers with images. Personally, I think the Quizzes look more interesting if theres an image. :D

[Jamie-UK]

No. That isn't a feature of the quiz system. I have it added in mine - it's not that hard to do.

I don't suppose you could share that code ?

I'm not much of a programmer. :disappointed:

You did not properly change the permissions on the settings file. When you install a mod, you need to make sure to do each and every step exactly as the hack author wrote them.

Looks good, but I get an error:

If I recall correctly, it's done at that point. Did you try the mod to see if it works?

[themarinersfan]

Oh you're right. Stupid me :P

[msgotit]

This may have been asked, but I couldn't find it, does the permissions check for secondary usergroups. I looked quickly and it didn't appear to. In quiz.php there are these line:
// Assume Your Usergroup Has Access To Participate In A Quiz
$Your_ID = $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'];

$Perms = unserialize($Quiz['q_perms']);

if(!in_array($Your_ID,$Perms['Participate'])){
RunError("Your usergroup does not have access to participate in this particular quiz.");
}

That is were it checks for the permissions? Which means if you use secondary usergroups it wouldn't work? Is that right or no.

[DS MrSinister]

can anyone help me out on this. I am working on tweaking my mod that amykhar made for this. I like to add the person name that who submit the quiz and the image as well..

This is what it looks like soo far..

[lmongello]

Man, I GOTTA get this installed, but I'm currently using VbQuiz on my vb3.0.6 forums. I need to be able to import the quizzes, results, etc. into this hack.

Can anyone offer me any help?

[tormodg]

This hack looks brilliant. I use vbQuiz and the only thing that stops me from installing Inferno Quiz is that I want the option to display one question per page.

Is there any hope that this will be implemented in the future?

[lmongello]

OK... I'm getting desperate to get this installed and import my old questions from vBquiz.

And yes, I'm willing to pay (reasonably) for help. Please contact me via PM or email if you can offer assistance. Thanks!

[commTRU]

Just a suggestion, but a great add-on for this would be to include a 'Featured Quiz' on the main quiz home, just above the categories :)

[FrozenCreations]

never mind ^^;

[commTRU]

Actually, another nice add-on would be to send a PM/email a admin (Whatever ID is specified) to let them know that new quizzes have been submitted for moderation.

I'm afraid I'm only good at making up suggestions and ideas, rather than coding mods myself >_>

[amykhar]

That's already been done in the new version for 3.5.

[Snake]

amy I like the modifications you have applied for the quiz on your forums so I'm wondering if you could share your version of this hack, please.

[commTRU]

That's already been done in the new version for 3.5.

Be nice if someone could turn that into an add-on for those of us not wanting to upgrade to 3.5.0 :)

[amykhar]

I did it on my old 3.0.7 board and suggested it as a feature addition to Zero. I'm not sure if I posted it in this thread as an addon or not. I did share some of my earlier mods in here.

[Snake]

Um I really don't have the time to look up with a 20+ thread pages. Can you get me the link plz?

[amykhar]

Why do I have to look through 20 pages for something you want? I don't need the changes. ;)

[paul41598]

Can people retack the quiz? Or do you have to delete their entry first? Dam

[amykhar]

why would you want people to retake a quiz :confused: Once they've taken it, they've seen the answers.
