Arthur" -- you'd need to make Arthur, Chester Arthur, Chester A Arthur, and Chester A. Arthur all acceptable).

So, it's do-able, but that's more likely to be in a future release, along with a few other ambitious ideas.

wouldn't it just be as simple as a search function, [high]if FIELDXX containts "XXXXX" then correct else wrong[/high] type thing

No, because, as I mentioned, almost any text-based user input will have many possible variations, all of which could conceivably be "right." Also, the answer table and temporary answer tables would have to be modified, and the function which grades the quiz would need to be reworked, too. Sadly, it's just not as simple as it sounds. If it was, I probably would've done it already.

I do hope to add it at some point, but the hack's taken awhile anyway and I'd hate to keep all these people waiting too much longer. Just gonna fix some of the bugs and try to go from there. But I'll definitely add it to the to-do list for future versions.

Cool. I noticed a timer for a question. Will the hack only allow setting time by question, or will there be a feature to set a time limit for the entire quiz?

Not directly, but sort of. The hack will allow you to set a default limit with each quiz, and then a specific limit for each question. If you give the quiz a limit of 10, the user will have 10 seconds to answer each question...but if you enter a limit for a specific question, that time will override the quiz's limit.

Time limits for the entire quiz are a little trickier (I'm not the JavaScript maven I'd like to be), but among the possibilities for future versions.

Yeah, I see what you mean. That's beyond the scope of this particular hack. A pretty sizable portion of it would have to be re-written to work that way. As it stounds now many portions of the hack rely on set numbers and the like. If I were to create a hack like that, it'd probably be off on it's own.

Anyway, I've finished all the major issues I can think of with this hack, and have begun some light testing. Unless the testing uncovers some major problems (unlikely), it should be done by the end of the week.

see i'm a dreamer thought it could've been done as simply as

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($quizresultsstyle == new)

{

if ($score > 60% and $score < 80%)

{

eval('$quizresults .= "' . fetch_template('quiz_resultstwo') . '";');

}

}

any chances of this in the future thought chris?
