I test it on my local Server.
Great Hack! :)

But there is a way to cheat (Timelimit).
If you Start a Quiz, you can copy and past the text, gi back with the "Back" button from your Browser. Then you can start the quiz again.

Thanks, a really great hack. I've installed it and the minor problem of having to go too and from FireFox and IE to set permissions could be looked at but i'm sure people can put up with this small problem for now.

Great hack, Keep up the good work.

Suggestion: Can you implement a scheduled task feature (cron job). Where admins would preload the questions ahead of time for a designated schedule, and it automatically starts a quiz thread. Like the Thread of the Week hack.

Thats for admincp/index.php, as for the template, it seems you are using a skin with a custom header, you will have to ask the author of the skin how to add more navigation buttons i'm afraid.

Not sure when i'll get v2 out, but i'll be releasing v1.1 soon which fixes a couple of bugs, such as the FireFox incompatability for permissions control :)

Nice work ZT.

Are you planning to have a general quiz area where all quizzes can be viewed / taken along with a leaderboard stats?

Paul M

05-01-2005, 11:53 AM

Hi, I have installed this on our test system with a view to going live.

I have a few points & suggestions (some of which you may have covered already).

1. Add the ability for users to add quizes.

2. In the admin area, make the selecting of usergroups via tick boxes.

3. Add the ability in ACP to edit (moderate) peoples answers and re-submit.

4. Add the ability in ACP to delete a persons quiz submission.

5. Check if a person has previously submitted a quiz at the point of submission (I can backspace and re-submit a quiz as often as I want).

6. For timed quizes, check if a user has javascript enabled and prevent them taking part if not (otherwise they can bypass the timer simply by disabling JS).

7. For text answers, make the check more "fuzzy". For instance if the correct answer is "red" then if I enter "it's red" I will be marked as wrong, when in fact I'm correct.

Thanks.

Mephisteus

05-01-2005, 12:28 PM

Heres a suggestion :)

In an open question have it check for words. Then you can make questions like "Name 2 countries" while at the answer list you can have a full list of countries and as long as someone sais

England, Netherlands
America and India

It'll still count as a full 100%

The installer is not taking into account the fact that the quiz table already exists. You could just drop (or rename) the table (as long as it has nothing in it you want).

Zero Tolerance

05-02-2005, 06:01 AM

what are the mySQL queries to run for this hack if it is a fresh new installation?
The installer provides an uninstallation aswell as installation, if you want to re-install, just run the uninstaller, then installer :)
If you want to look at the mySQL queries, open admincp/quiz_install.php

And yes, you need to select upgrade when upgrading, otherwise it will think you're trying to install it fresh.

I'll take into consideration those idea's guys, right now I just got a load of work to get done.

is there any way of setting this up so you can providea few different answers? what i mean is i had a member who answered 3 questions corectly but spelled it wrong so the quiz said it was wrong, also one answer to a question was colorado river and he just put colorado so it said he again had it wrongI highlighted the same problem earlier. I don't think there is much you can do about spelling errors, but what I need is for it to check if my 'proper' answer is contained in their answer. So in your case, you would make the answer "colorado", then as long as their answer contained your word, it would be marked correct.

What is also needed is an admin facility to correct peoples answers and marks, so if you can see they were right, but a spelling error caused it to be marked wrong, an admin can manually mark it as correct.

Thanks, and I seriously doubt vBulletin would hire me, 2 main reasons really:
1) I'm 17 years old
2) I have no official grades to do with anything computer related

And thanks for the ideas people, i'll see what i can do - probably start on v2 in a few days, just need to finish work off for a client first.

wow, you got some talent :)

another feature for you

ability to add some kind of "long/short essay answers", so that some "grader" can read and give point for the writing, adding to the automatic ones (same as summiting answers, then admin can fix the score)

mtha

05-06-2005, 03:03 PM

4. Add the ability in ACP to delete a persons quiz submission.

I need this one to "test" taking quiz and remove myself, so I can "take" the quiz again, so I add a quick add-on to the file, so that you can view who's taking a quiz, and be able to "view" their status or delete him from quiz (so he can re-take it. (see attachment, you just need to replace the admin_quiz.php in admincp (make backup of the file if you use it)

Zero, feel free to add to your hack, if you think it's good.

more suggestion. adding "submission date" to the result would be nice, so that you know when someone submit answers.

Can it be only one question per page, then go to next page? Long quizzes produce long pages.

3. Add the ability in ACP to edit (moderate) peoples answers and re-submit.

4. Add the ability in ACP to delete a persons quiz submission.

well, the code doesnt look very clean in vB standards to me, it might not be optimized much, but the function should work.

you are also able to set which groups (groupid) or users (userid) allowed to edit answers (set in top part of the admin_quiz.php file).

mtha

05-08-2005, 04:46 AM

more things to consider:

in ACP:
- display only questions for one quiz, if you have many quizes, and many questions in each, you dont want to display ALL questions for all quizes though.

- Add new question for THAT currently working quiz (preselect the current quiz)

I would also add a "start date" for a record, so people will know when some quiz start/end

mtha

05-09-2005, 08:41 PM

6. For timed quizes, check if a user has javascript enabled and prevent them taking part if not (otherwise they can bypass the timer simply by disabling JS).

or maybe adding two time stamp, one when you start the test, one when you finish the test. I'd like to keep this information for references

Very true - that is obsolete code, as the engine redirect function is called first - which after execution calls exit, stopping any other php from being processed, i'll make sure it's removed from v2, since it's useless.

It'd be great if administrator can format quiz questions too, so some important words in the question can be underlined, bolded, or colored somehow

It'd be great if you could consider adding quiz start_time and end_time in the result table too, so you can know when someone is taking the quiz (and when he finish it)
it's also a tool for admin to check if someone do the test unreasonably long or short.

ALTER TABLE `quiz_results` ADD `r_start_time` INT( 10 ) NOT NULL;
ALTER TABLE `quiz_results` ADD `r_end_time` INT( 10 ) NOT NULL;

my cumtomized version is attached, (if you dont mind)

@ mtha - It will be done, sorry i won't download your version or use it, nothing against you at all, it's just i prefer to do things solo.

So i'll enable BB Code for the question input, and add start time and end time for the results so that it shows time taken :)

@ Paul M - Well, i kinda spent a time creating the engine to output that visual look of usergroup controlling, a lot of systems use checkbox's, and i like things to be different, and on a plus side, for forums with a 'lot' of usergroups, the page won't be super long.
But, in order to improve control elements, i have added 'Add All' and 'Remove All' buttons so that you can click one button to allow/disallow all usergroups, which should ease up a few things :)

Nice looking hack.
Can I make a few suggestions (hope they haven't already been made)?

Have a couple of text entry boxes which you can put some HTML into. Header HTML is displayed before the competition questions and Footer HTML displayed afterwards.
This would allow the addition of information about competition sponsors, images of prizes, links to competition rules etc.

Set the number of winners. Sometimes we have 5 winners, for example.

Have an option to pick a winner/winners at random upon close of the competition.
ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT $number_of_winners, perhaps, if you want to do it from the database. And display the names of the winners instead of the entry form.

Have an option for confimation that the entree is of a minimum age. (Or could you use a normal question for this?)

Have a marketing opt-in. Text of what the entrees are signing up for and a tick box which they tick to opt in (or opt out) of a marketing list. Then an option to output the details of the opt-in-ees to a spreadsheet which you can then send to the competition sponsors.

Thank you for your consideration :)

no comment, I would like to see functionality more than advertising :D. btw, you can always add these information in the templates, it doesnt require changing in the quiz.

Set the number of winners. Sometimes we have 5 winners, for example.

seems like the author will have a complicated statistic page.
I would call this "five top scores" rather than winner :D
then you can pick them out, and call them whatever you want later, for specific purpose, not for general puclic purpose.

Have a marketing opt-in. Text of what the entrees are signing up for and a tick box which they tick to opt in (or opt out) of a marketing list. Then an option to output the details of the opt-in-ees to a spreadsheet which you can then send to the competition sponsors.

:> advertising/sponsor problem again, I am not very much interested in this, but it's up to the author to decide.

I think, an add-on or optional for this (and html advertise above) would be better than including in the main script.

Zero Tolerance

05-18-2005, 05:58 AM

@ mtha - Yeah, i was thinking of categories, i'll most likely add them into v2 :)

@ SpinBall - Well in v2 you'll be able to use BBCode for questions, so you could insert a bbcode for the sponser, then the question, upto you really. Also there will be several leader board, an overall one on the main page, one for each category (if i add it in v2) and one for each specific quiz. I'll also be adding in User Quiz Stats, which shows the users quix statistics in general, and branches off to see specific stats for any quiz's they have taken :)

The marketing options seem a little un-required really, the initial idea of this addon is for fun, since i know millions of people just love to take random quiz's.

@ axi - If you look at the features list for v2, on page 6, you will understand what i mean, there is a function to import/export quizzes, so people can share them. So i will just export mine and let people import them willingly.

@ lmongello - Correct, jelsofts policy says you must use 1 installation of vB per license, however it does also specify another installation may be made for "test" purposes, which is what you would be doing, as a definition of test purposes would be a forum with no activity of regular members posting, and such, so basically a dead forum.

Hi ZT

I've just upgraded from v1 to v2 as per instructions. The first thing I have tried to do is import one of your quizzes, and get the following error

Invalid SQL: insert into quiz
(q_name,q_state,q_desc)
values
('DragonBall Z General Knowledge',0,'')
mysql error: Unknown column 'q_desc' in 'field list'

mysql error number: 1054

Seems like at least one new field wasn't created. :(

I'll investigate further
Thanks

Run this query:

Change {TABLE_PREFIX} to .. well your table prefix :p

Moderate Quiz Results allows you to modify/delete any answers from people, it is not "required", just gives you the functionality to check over any submisisons and correct them if needs be, ie: if a user asks you to check their results because they spelled something incorrectly, you can update it, and the users' results will be updated :)

Zero, I got a suggestion for v3.0; Difficulty.

Quiz difficulties are dynamically created by the quiz system based on how well players perform on a quiz. If most people do really well on a quiz it may be rated as "Easy". If no one does well, probably "Impossible".

('{$sub['s_name']}',0,'{$sub['s_desc']}',{$sub['s_cat']},'{$sub['s_image']}')");

Replace with:

$DB->query("insert into ".TABLE_PREFIX."quiz

('".addslashes($sub['s_name'])."',0,'". addslashes($sub['s_desc'])."',{$sub['s_cat']},'{$sub['s_image']}')");

Find:

zt, if you making version 3 you should also have where members uploading or submitting quizzes they can create or like suggest category for there new quiz, because maybe there quizzes wont fit the current cats, so therefore if admins like they can accept and category and quiz will be done at once. otherwise admin can also rename there category suggested to a better one if need be.

Dear Zero Tolerance,

thank you very, very much for your quiz! It's exactly what our readers definitely like, creation of the quiz is a lot of fun for me too!

My forum is on legends, myths and fairy tales in Europe, so from this region I experience some problems, hoping they are suggestions for you:

- In one quiz we ask for "Dracula", but some regions here write "Drakula" and similar. I would suggest, to make some sort of wildcard as "Dra$ula$" to allow similar typings as correct answer.

- I would like to add pictures for some questions. Suggestion?
Dream of expansion on this idea would be, that the picture is shown in parts, and if candidate needs more parts (or more resolution) to recognise, looses percentage.

- Another definite popular demand here in Europe is a "Joker" (there is no translation to English, so I'll have to explain ;-). If there are four possible answers, the canditate might cry [click] "Joker" and the system reduces the possible four answers to two.

Kindest regards from Austria

Firstly, excellent hack! It seems to be very well polished off!

Next, for v3, I think these suggestions are very good:

Zero, I got a suggestion for v3.0; Difficulties.

Quiz difficulties are dynamically created by the quiz system based on how well players perform on a quiz. If most people do really well on a quiz it may be rated as "Easy". If no one does well, probably "Impossible".

Very Difficult
Impossible

- In one quiz we ask for "Dracula", but some regions here write "Drakula" and similar. I would suggest, to make some sort of wildcard as "Dra$ula$" to allow similar typings as correct answer.

And one request by me... after someone finishes off a quiz, can you output a page with their results and the correct answers? On my forum i dont give everyone access to private messaging, so it would be very useful if they could see their results on the site rather then through PM...

Edit: actually that last request could probaby be done if on the "thank you for doing this quiz" page we provide a link to directly view the stats of that individual for that quiz? Anyone know what the code for such a link would be?

TopeeGuy

05-26-2005, 12:21 AM

One more request :D

Explanatory notes... i.e., in the admincp, each question has a field where we can explain the answer in more depth. This isn't shown while doing the quiz, but when the user is given his/her results, and the answers, the system also shows him the explanatory notes.

Explanatory notes would be something like why an answer is true/false, a bit more information about the answer, etc.

@ wolfgangm - Wild cards, sounds like a good idea, however this is the reason why the ability to moderate results was created, so you could check over answers and correct things like typo's, however i will keep it in mind. As for pictures, you are able t use BBCode within questions, so use a [img] tag. A joker, sounds like a 50/50 deduction.

@ Snake - I'll look into difficulty rankings :)

@ Topee Guy - Add a link to the results upon completion in the thanks note, sure sounds easy enough. Notes to explain answers, sure sounds like that would be very educational for some site's :)

Paul M

05-27-2005, 01:10 AM

Great update :)

But ........ (you just knew this was coming)

A few things;

1. Adding questions - can there be answer field in the initial question add section.

2. If you edit the questions (to add answers etc) and then add another question, it clears all the existing questions data you have edited.

3. Can the default for part answer checking (in text questions) be yes rather than no.

4. On installation - please only add the templates to styles that have the "master style" as their parent - all the child styles will then pick the templates up anyway - otherwise you have loads of duplicate templates you don't need - and every change has to be made in every style, rather than them being inherited as they should.

5. Add a link to "allow" quizes from within the preview screen.

6. In the settings, can certain groups be set to default as "allowed" to take quizes.

7. In the quiz editing can there be a button in the "allowed to view results" to copy the groups from the "allowed to take" screen. I really can't imagine why I would ever allow a group to take a quiz, but then deny them the right to view the results.

Suggestions:

if someone doesnt have permission to some area, the link (or block should not be appeard).

says if member is not allowed to "Submit A Quiz", the submission block will NOT be displayed.

same as take quiz, view start, view leaderboard ...

if member is not allowed to see UserStat, the name should appear as normal text, without link.

all these could easily be done by using conditions in template, right?

im getting this error

Warning: fopen(./includes/settings.quiz.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /includes/engine.quiz.php on line 662

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /includes/engine.quiz.php on line 663

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /includes/engine.quiz.php on line 664

i take it this is because i havent changed the chmod. i dont know much about servers but according to my webhost, changing it to 777 makes that folder available to everybody who shares with me on the server. is this true?

Here's a quick and dirty mod to PM the person of your choice when a quiz has been submitted and is ready for review.

In quiz.php
Find:

header("Location: quiz.php?sub=1");

Add Above (change the word userid in both places to the userid of the member you want notified.):

$PM = "A quiz has been submitted for review.";

// Send PM
SendPM($PM,"Quiz Submitted for Review",userid,userid);

First of all i must say ...

ZT & Inferno Quiz ROCKS !!!!

Thank You !!!!

An error has occured, the following message has been left below:

You may only view user stats if you have completed the quiz.

As an admin, when i click on view stats --> click on a membername option, i get this error, i think as an admin i should have the previliage to view the results without having to go to admincp everytime a members chooses to get quizzed. There should be no problem ethically as afterall i am the person who devised to quiz. :devious: Just a suggestion for future versions.

I was moderating quiz results for one of the members when i encountered the above error. An snapshot is attached in this message.

And Lastly, a member should have the facility of taking the same quiz more than once. This is a must be there feature in my view.

Thanks and Best Regards

It would appear that error is caused from the answer not being an array for some form of reason. You can change on line 540 of engine.quiz.php this:
$Selected = (in_array($key,$Data) && trim($Data) != '')? " checked='checked'" : "";
To:
$Selected = (@in_array($key,$Data) && trim($Data) != '')? " checked='checked'" : "";

It should solve the problem.

Feature requests for the next version:
I love the quiz system, but I find two things tiresome.
1. When I create a quiz and start adding questions to the quiz, I don't like having to select the quiz from the dropdown each time I add a new question. Is it possible to store the name of the latest quiz that a question was added to, and remember that value in the dropdown for subsequent question additions? Then, if I need to change quizzes, I can but for those of us who generally add 10 or more questions at a time to the same quiz, we won't have to keep making that selection, which gets cumbersome once you have a significant number of quizzes.

2. If possible, allow us to set default permissions for taking quizzes and viewing the stats of quizzes. Then, we can use the default settings for most quizzes, but adjust for special quizzes that we want to restrict to certain user groups.

I'm willing to do the coding and send it to you if you are busy or need help. The only reason I make the suggestion here is that I am trying to keep my own private version from making two many forks from your standard.

Also Zero, give me a yell if you want my code to have quizzes show who wrote them, allow quiz authors to take their own quiz multiple times without showing their score, and to show a "Quiz already Taken" message for people who have taken a given quiz instead of the Take Quiz link.

I installed this hack and love it, however I use the quiz for contests for prizes. So it is hard to see what peoples scores are so i modified the quiz.php so it sorts the usernames and shows the %. Making it easy to see who the top Members are.

I hope this isn't against the rules if it is just delete the post

Modify the SQL statment to order the results by score so the highest scores are listed at the top.

// Get All The Results
$Get_Results = $DB->query("
select u.username,
r.r_userid,r.r_score
from ".TABLE_PREFIX."quiz_results r
left join ".TABLE_PREFIX."user u on(u.userid=r.r_userid)
where r.r_forquiz = '{$Quiz['qid']}' ORDER BY r.r_score DESC
");

Change the Result display so it formats and shows the % correct.

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

Hopefully everyone finds this useful like I do.
