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%

i'm getting this with the upgrade when i run the installer :(

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.5:

Invalid SQL: CREATE TABLE `quiz` (
`qid` INT( 15 ) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
`q_name` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL default '0',
`q_state` TINYINT( 2 ) NOT NULL default '0',
`q_perms` text not null,
`q_start` int(15) not null default '0',
`q_end` int(15) not null default '0',
`q_autoend` tinyint(2) not null default '0',
`q_timelimit` int(8) not null default '0',
`q_viewanswer` tinyint(2) not null default '0',
PRIMARY KEY ( `qid` )
) TYPE = MYISAM ;
mysql error: Table 'quiz' already exists

mysql error number: 1050

geeze blonde moment again ... didn't look at the dropdown bar on the installer to upgrade

Well this line is a bit of a givaway ...
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).

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.

This is awesome....are there any plans to add a poll option to this? I realize there is forum polls but I have to use an external app for the monthly polls that I do for my community. This add on is awesome and could replace my outside poll apps.

Great Job!

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 wrong

is this possible? so we could put a few different variations in

many thanks

and its a great hack btw :)

I 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.

yeh thats it paul

that would make this hack soo much better :)
