I don't know, I haven't tested it there. Do you have multiple template sets?

Chris,

Are you still planning on coming out with a 2.0 version or are you just going to continue to add and/or correct this one? I've been holding off adding this till the 2.0.

-Rob

I'm definitely hoping to release a new version with several new features...but don't wait for it, as I can't guarantee it won't take awhile.

Ok,

Off hand, do you know if there's an easy way that I can add in the comment feature to 1.0 that I had mentioned a few posts back?

-Rob

I forget what you said exactly; could you go over it again?

Yep. When configuring a quiz, is it possible to add in a text field where the administrator would be able to add in some text (a comment) about the right answer. So when the user selects the right answer, the result is returned to them along with the comment.

This would be kind of educational if you wanted to expand a little more about the answer to the question. For example:

Are apples red?

Answer: Yes

Correct Answer - Yes.

Explanation: Apples come in many different colors, one of which is red.

Hope I didn't confuse your further. :)

-Rob

That'd be possible. Let me look into it and see if I can write up something quick. :)

i have 2 template sets but it installs on my defaule one don't it and it said Templates installed correctly :D

Yes. You'll need to run that portion of the script again and pass the proper templatesetid through the querystring.

Works just dandy on 2.2.2 and I have multiple styles.

How do you edit the image for an existing quiz?

How can I stop the Email being sent - seems pointless - although a PM might be OK?

There is no way to edit the image yet...because I'm a moron. :D

As for the email (I don't think it's pointless, personally...it encourages them to take more quizzes, and, if you're resourceful, you can stick an ad in there).

To stop the email from being sent, find this (in quiz.php):

...and replace it with this...

the way that I am doing it is by uploading the new image into the directory, with the same name overwriting the existing one.

Did you get the border problem figured out (so it matches the rest of the site)?

Lionel: yep, that'll work. :)

Boofo: to be honest, I haven't been trying...I've been combing through the other problems so far...functionality over fashion, of course. :)

OK thanks - it looks promising - I will have my mods test it for a while. I do suggest an uninstall program to delete the database changes would be a good idea for those wanting to remove it or to re-install it.

The problems should pretty well be solved (at least the ones we had in the beginning). :) You have done a great job on fixing them. :) Once we get the display problems fixed, you should be all set for a much needed rest from this. :)

I do not know if this has been addressed before (there should be a hack to narrow a search within a thread). Looks like there is a pagination problem. I have 14 quizzes in one category and page 2 starts with the last quiz of page 1 and I am missing one quiz.

Whenever I try to disapprove, the last one of page 1 always duplicates itself at the top of page 2.

To solve my pagination problem, I went into the options. Since I have 14 quizzes, I changed my settings to display 14 quizzes. It says one of 14 but the actual count is 13.
I changed the display to 15 and they all showed up.

Hm, I now have 2 Quizzes, and one "Test" Quiz, but every Quiz always shows only the answers of the first Quiz without the Questions... I m using the new Quiz.php and changed the template to "$question[questiontext]"

I am having major troubles as well and have no choice but to remove it from our site until all this is rectified. I have used the latest version and get db errors and quizzes that don't show or are out of order with the answers.

TWTCommish...I am sorry and this will be a great hack for my site once everything is fixed! Thanks for all your hard work!

You have to be more descriptive, Dark_Wizard. I'd guess that this "db error" is actually a very common problem that can be fixed easily and is described in the instructions.txt file. As for questions out of order: I haven't heard of anyone else having this problem with the new quiz.php file.

Very sweet hack, TWTCommish, and I admire your follow-up in this thread. Thumbs up! :)

An idea:

Is it possible to create a database of questions (lets say 100 questions), let the quiz select 10 or 15 of those randomly, and output them so that a user can take the quiz many times and get different questions every time?

Just a little idea, I think that would be excellent. Keep up the hard work. :cool:

Well, there's no super easy way to do that just yet, but I do think I'll have to write in a LOT more control over the questions for the admin in the next version.

Figured as much, I just wanted you to know that it might be a nice thing to implent in some future release if you've got the time. :)

I've installed v1.0 and will use several quizzes with users only being able to enter once instead. :)

OK, seems I loaded up the wrong Quiz.php, now it works, beside the 99 Percent "bug", I changed the php part as stated but still 99 Percent. One question: In which templates are the "View Quiz results" and "next Question" Buttons?

quiz_question -- but the text for the buttons is hardcoded into the file.

Got it and translated to german

TWTCommish: how about displaying the most recently added Quiz from the forum home, as well as high scores? Is that possible? Right now I just have a little text link and it's not very amusing. :)

I'd like to put it below Currently Active Users at my board. Cheers. :P

The way I did that was to copy quiz.php into quizhome.php and then I had quizhome.php called a renamed template of the main quiz template. I edited that one to my needs. :bunny:

It would be nice with some exact instructions, I'm not that great at this. :P

Can you fix it so the author user is entered as their username and not their user number?

How can I extract a list of high scores or a leader table for display on my home page (or forum index)?

What's the best way to integrate this into a VB site?

I could...but I'd rather not bother unless some others are interested.

That depends on how you want it to display.

I'm afraid that's far too subjective to answer. Personally I just link to the file right now.

I upgraded to 2.2.6 and lost the navbar / admin panel for quizzes. Is it the admin/index.php part of the installation I need to do again?
Anyone else found more missing after an upgrade?

/admin/index.php should be the only part you need to re-edit. :)

I think an option to use the username AND the id number would be a good addition. Also, a listing on the forum home like Total Quizzes going and maybe the best quiz score with the score and the username might be cool, too. Like they do with Total threads Today and such. :)

I apologize if this problem has been posted, I tried sorting through twenty pages before giving up. *lol*


I seem to have everything okay, I haven't quite figured out the quizzes, but I haven't tried yet, either.

My problem is my templates. I have three styles. The 'quiz' templates were jsut added to the default. Around page 6 or so, a fix was made by TWT for this by running the first page of the script with the templatesetid number added to add the templates to the other styles.

Now that they are all added, my templates look....weird. When I go to temlpates, and click on "show all templates", instead of the normal list I get this -

(see attached)


Any suggestions? I'd really like to see my templates again, as this way is confusing. All the links that say "change original" next to a bullet are empty. :s :( However, nothing seems to be messed up on teh board, so that is good.

I've had similar problems, but long before the quiz hack...I think this may be due to the imcompatibility error pre 2.2.6 versions of vB have with recent versions of PHP. Did your host upgrade their PHP installation recently?

OK done and working just fine - for all hacks added ex. the query hack! Puh.... :cool:
