More suggestion:

- Quiz Category

many quizes can be in different categories,

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.

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.

:> 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.

@ 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.

Looking good there, ZT :)

Great hack, installed.

Thanks for the update.

Speaking from my POV, these are more important to me.

User Quiz Submissions
Quiz Results Moderation

While these are less important.

Quiz Categories
Quiz Submission Spam Protection
Overall Leader Board Statistics & Individual Leader Board Statistics

I'm sure others will disagree though ;)

Well everyone will probably like different aspects of features more than others, just a question of preference, but i believe v2 will be a lot better overall for everyone :)

- Zero Tolerance

Moderate user quiz results completed.

Well, just because i'm evil, and i like to tease people, but also just to keep you appealed, a screenshot of v2 prototype in action is below :p

thanks ZT ;) looking forward to the release

super :)

Haven't installed it yet: waiting for version 2. Can't wait, this will be great on my forum!

Any indication as to a release date? Hours/days/weeks? :nervous:

Nice features there, Zero. I can't wait. :D

Not sure exactly, couple of days, i hope to have it out by monday, depends if i get enough free time.

- Zero Tolerance

cool :) I really hope you do get some free time ;) have a great weekend Zero Tolerance

Leaderboard (overall & quiz specific) completed.

View this post for more information :)

- Zero Tolerance

Awsome..!

*install

does it come with quiz answer/questions or do i have to add them from scratch?

Logically, you will have to create your own... a Quiz is personalised per site, it's not a quiz generator...

V2 will provide the ability to import/export quizzes, so i'll probably include a lil pack of 3/4 quizzes for people to import to their system if they desire.

- Zero Tolerance

Can't wait for V2.
Cool Job ZT.

should still add quizes, like loads of them all you have. if people dont like the quizes in it they can delete, and for most it will be a good start to start off with quizes coz i dont know many quizes really :s

Don't let sample quizes delay the release of version 2 though, Zero Tolerance. Most of us don't need sample questions as we'll be making our own.

Perhaps you can release the sample quizes as an addon later?

Is it possible to include a Quiz-Start Option?
So i can create Daily-Quizzes for a period of Time.

any sites i can find some quizes at of all categories?

I will just provide quizzes that my admins already made for my site, simple as that, then you guys can swap/trade yours to each other with the given functionality :)

v2 is nearing completion.

- Zero Tolerance

I hope v2 will allow users to add quizes - this is a must for us, our admin team don't have the time to keep adding them.

As said in the features list, it will be included, i have however removed the spam protection as it would seem useless.

I'm currently working on making the global quiz permissions (who can submit quizzes) flat file, however it doesn't work too well when your host dies =P - But it will save a global query being executed.

- Zero Tolerance

if you make it into file, you migh have to give the write permission for some folder, or safe_mode off or something?

Do you know if this can import quizzes from the other quiz hack that's out there (vbQuiz 2)?

@ mtha - Yes, CHMOD permissions will need to be set for the folder and the file :)

@ lmongello - I don't have the code for the other vB3 Quiz Hack, so without the DB structed i cannot determine how to import the quizzes. However if you set me up with a test forum with the quiz installed, and give me the link and admin access (via PM) i'll take a look, andafter v2 has been released, i'll release an addon which imports quizzes from that system to this :)

I'm currently working on submit quiz, which will by JS powered, once done i'll create a flash preview of how it works.

- Zero Tolerance

do you mean you are going to provide quizes?

Zero,

Thanks for the reply. Not sure how I can set up a test forum, as i only have one VB license. If you can guide me a little, I'd appreciate it. Otherwise, would an export of the quiz tables help? Let me know exactly what you need. Thanks!!!!

@ 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.

- Zero Tolerance

cool , cant wait for v2 then.
