Great, will be trying this soon! :)

FYI: Noticed the 'readme.txt' file is referencing 4.0.x instead of 3.8.x

Installed without any issues, set permissions by usergroup and specific to quizzes.

Then, as I setup Categories, I noticed that the categories are displaying a bit off as the cells seems to be all over the place in sizing.

See here: http://www.unitedstateshistoryforum.com/vbquiz.php

Edited: I also don't have the options to 'add quiz' and others when I turned off the 'navbar links' option. Since I have a custom CSS dropdown menu, I wouldn't be able to access the links either way. Any suggestions?

It's timing out when I try and access that link.
Did you add all the dropdown options to your own menu or did you just add a link to the main quiz center? It should work if you add the same options.

Not timing out for others that just accessed it, can you check again for the layout of the categories?

I have a custom CSS dropdown that I'm building and it does not have any of the 'default' links in it. What are the links/pages that I should be using so that I can add them in myself?

Ah, it came up now. Are you talking about the width of the categories?

If you look at the template
dbtech_vbquiz_nav_button_dropdown
you can see the 5 different links

Adding the links now, thanks.

Yes, talking about the width of the categories and how the sizing is off. Is that something that should/will be fixed?

I'll fix it in the next release. If you want to manually do it for now, edit the template
dbtech_vbquiz_home_cell

And change the top line

to
Dylan

Very good. Thanks Dylan! :)

I added a little image before the category names to give it a little more color/style. :D

http://www.unitedstateshistoryforum.com/vbquiz.php

Edited: Found a small bug as I was creating my first quiz. See attached as the "BBCode" phrase seems to be displaying incorrectly.

nm :)

I'll fix that in the next release. If you want to fix it for now

Any chances of an importer from old vbquiz?

:) any?

Started changing some of the phrases this morning as I was creating my first quiz and noticed a couple of grammatical/spelling errors for future fixes....

setting_dbtech_vbquiz_disable_results_field_desc - Showing the word "read" misspelled as "readd"

setting_dbtech_vbquiz_branding_free_desc - Showing the word "license" misspelled as "licence"

setting_dbtech_vbquiz_create_thread_score_desc - Showing the word "an" which should be "a"

setting_dbtech_vbquiz_date_readonly_desc - Showing the words "accidentally" and "erroneously" misspelled as "accidently" and "erronous"

setting_dbtech_vbquiz_timer_background_desc - Showing the word "would" misspelled as "wuld"

dbtech_vbquiz_cat_not_judged - Showing the word "Thank" misspelled as "Thanks"

dbtech_vbquiz_end_before_start, dbtech_vbquiz_img_type, dbtech_vbquiz_start_before_end, dbtech_vbquiz_no_answer_num - Showing the word "browser" misspelled as "browse"

dbtech_vbquiz_info_new_end - Showing the word "soonest" and it should be "nearest"

dbtech_vbquiz_miss_bad_x, dbtech_vbquiz_no_exit, dbtech_vbquiz_no_perm_admin, dbtech_vbquiz_no_perm_app, dbtech_vbquiz_no_perm_complete, dbtech_vbquiz_no_perm_create, dbtech_vbquiz_no_perm_del, dbtech_vbquiz_no_perm_edit, dbtech_vbquiz_no_perm_judge, dbtech_vbquiz_no_perm_judge_self, dbtech_vbquiz_no_perm_no_results, dbtech_vbquiz_no_perm_posts, dbtech_vbquiz_no_perm_rep, dbtech_vbquiz_no_perm_take, dbtech_vbquiz_no_perm_unapp, dbtech_vbquiz_no_perm_view, dbtech_vbquiz_not_valid, dbtech_vbquiz_recomplete, dbtech_vbquiz_take_not_app - Showing "in error" and it should be "an error" OR it can be "was done in error" instead of "is in error"

dbtech_vbquiz_not_registered - Looks like the 'br' tag is has a comma instead of the bracket '<'

dbtech_vbquiz_req_missing - Showing the word "complete" misspelled as "compelete"

......and two other things on the quiz page. See attached in reference to my questions. Question #1 is about how to change the vBQuiz next to the quiz title (left circle on my image) and Question #2 is that there seems to be something missing on the Quiz Options dropdown.

FYI: Just finished a quiz and approved it, but no new thread was added to the specified forum. Does it take time to do that or should it show automatically upon approval?

DEMO QUIZ: http://www.unitedstateshistoryforum.com/vbquiz.php

Also, I can't get a 'registered member' to take the quiz. It continues to show the message: "We are sorry but your quiz entry must be approved before you can continue. Please speak with the administrator if you feel this is in error."

I've set the 'registered member' usergroup for "yes" on "Can View Quizzes" and "Entries Auto Approved". As well as "yes" for the "Can Enter Quizzes" through the "vBQuiz Entries & Voting" portion of the usergroup permissions. Is there anywhere else that I need to set the permissions?

nm :)

I'm working on one, I think I can get the quizzes to move across, just going through the logic on how his data is setup.

Dylan

sweet :) Thanks

*install*

The sad thing is English is my first language :)
I changed most of them, thanks for finding the errors. Although, license is the correct spelling here in America.

The title of the quiz is set in the dbtech_vbquiz_quiz_view template.

There isn't an option missing on the dropdown list. I put an empty space on purpose to separate the delete quiz link from all the others.

Dylan

The thread should be created automatically. I'll test it out on my dev system and let you know.

Dylan

I checked and both of these worked on my dev. Could I get temp admin to check out what's going on?

Dylan

PM Sent :up:

Couple of other questions...

1. Can the avatar on the 'comments' be smaller than the normal/default sizes? Maybe force it to 100x100 (see here: http://www.unitedstateshistoryforum....p?do=quiz&id=1)

2. Can you have the ratings stars as png so that the background doesn't look off? (see here: http://www.unitedstateshistoryforum....p?do=quiz&id=1)

Another Note: IE9 is showing just a bit off on this page .... http://www.unitedstateshistoryforum....&category_id=2 (see attachment)

I can allow the admin to set the comment image size on the next version. I'm working on the images, I didn't realize until after release how bad it looks on a non white background, that's already in the works though :)

I'll check it with IE9.

I created a registered user test account and I was able to take the quiz? Not sure why your other account can't do it. Which account name was it?

It did not create the thread though, I'll see if I can find out why that's happening.

Dylan

Good news on the avatar option and the stars :up:

The other account was FreedomGal that I used. Just a regular registered member.

I'll keep my eyes open for the threads.

Another couple of notes:

1. The 'delete comment' button is very near the username dropdown in the comments. Not sure if you wanted to give it a little more space to avoid issues with folks accidentally deleting the comments.

2. Who's online needs some adjustment as it's showing 'unknown location'. (see attachment)

Can you try with the test user account I setup? Just reset the password I setup on it. It's a normal registered user and I had no problem taking the quiz.

I'll fix the delete button and the unknown location.
The space when viewing a quiz looks fine to me with IE9, not sure why yours is so spread out in that image.

EDIT:
I fixed the thread create. Put the attached file into
dbtech/vbquiz/actions

Dylan

Alright, uploaded the file. Tthe auto-create thread is working now :up:

I took a quiz with the "test" account that you used and it worked. Not sure why the other account isn't working.

By the way, I tried to add comments to the quiz (see attachment) from the quiz page as your test account and it gave me the following error....

"We are sorry but the Email Fields is missing or inputted incorrectly. Please speak with the administrator if you feel this is in error."

....looks like the wrong phrase there as I wasn't trying to email, simply add comments. And, not sure why it wouldn't allow me to comment.

If that can help, there is an option in inferno one to export quiz. Perhaps adding an import :) would be easier?

Secondly... uncache template in memberinfo
Uncached templates: dbtech_vbquiz_member.css (1)
Uncached templates: dbtech_vbquiz_search_quiz_row (2) (this one when viewing User Created Quizzes

and When trying to view "quiz that I have created"

Nothing shows


Third.


View screenshot.

Weird, the add comment template had the wrong form action. I fixed it on your site and did a hotfix on the file here.

Cool, glad you got it working :up:

No rush, but any idea on the comments avatar and the ratings stars?

The avatar size will be in the next release, not sure about the rating stars, working on that one heh.

Dylan

*whistle*

I'm sorry, I thought I replied before.
I'll fix the uncached templates in the next release. as far as quizzes created I'll have to take a look if you want to pm me your forum link.
The blank space in the dropdown is just to have a separator for the delete so it doesn't get clicked by accident :)

Dylan

ahh I see :)

okay will do.

what info do i send you?

The site url and an account that has permissions to create/take quizzes would be good

Dylan

Dylan,

I found a couple of small bugs about the profile comments tab/portion.

The tab, when not 'inactive', is bigger than the font. It's adjusted based on the 'active' state where the font is much larger. (see attachment) How can we adjust that?

Also, if the usergroup is not allowed to create quizzes, then we should not be able to see the "username has not created quizzes" message/area. (see attachment)

The tab size is an OOB thing with vB.

I'll add the hiding created history for those without access to create them to the feature list

I found the problem.

Replace it with

I'll have a new release at the end of the weekend with some enhancements, this will be included if you are more comfortable waiting.

Dylan

Dylan, I had another member take the quiz and when I looked on the Quiz page I noticed that we could use some layout fixes/changes.

See attachment (FYI: I'm using Google Chrome for reference)

#1 - Bigger avatars 'push' the dropdown controls to under the username

#2 - History for 2nd person taking quiz is gone (is there a time/day limit on those showing?)

#3 - There should be some sort of line or something separating the users that have taken the quizzes for a better styled look.

I will be releasing a new version, hopefully by the end of the weekend. The comment and entries image size will be controlled by an acp setting.

The history is for your user only. It is to show the scores you previously got on the quiz.

If you have the permissions you can view all who took the quiz by going to the quiz options and selecting the current entries. Next version will also have those images controlled by the acp setting and a line at the bottom of each entry to separate them better.

Dylan

Oh, so it's not of every user (even if I'm the admin), but only your own. Got it. Well then, we may want to set that cell to the side or make it stand out more as a 'your own' taken scores instead of just "taken history" which seems to be a general heading for all scores.
