So if I were to designate a few mods to take care of quizzes, and ONLY quizzes (no other access)...how exactly would I do this? What link would I give them? Where would I put this link for them to access the Mod CP so they can edit quizzes ONLY?

Side note...as far as rewarding quiz takers...those w/ the top 3 scores w/i a given period of time, I award points manually. It would be nice if it did it automatically, but I'm not counting on that happening any time soon.

They don't have to be in the moderator usergroup, they just need to be assigned as moderators and be able to access the Mod CP to be able to add quizzes (since authorization is based on "ismoderator", not "usergroup").

Want to make a Quizzes CP? Note that they will still be able to access the Mod CP since they're moderators. But if you don't tell them about the Mod CP they might not be avare of its existance.

I believe we could create a new table in your database, create a new usergroup and give that usergroup the ability to view the quizzes cp, modify the global.php located in your /quizzes directory to authorize this usergroup to be able to view the quizzes cp but I have no idea to do that correctly. At least it would take some time for me to figure out

Anyway, follow these instructions to create a Quizzes CP:

1. Create a new directory under your forum home called "quizzes" (http://www.yoursite.com/forum/quizzes). CHMOD it to 755.

2. Download the following files from your /mod directory to a temporary folder: admin_quiz.php, cp_logo.gif, index.php, global.php.

3. Open the index.php file you just downloaded and FIND:

vBulletin Moderator's Control Panel

REPLACE this with:

vBulletin Quizzes Control Panel

FIND and DELETE:

Upload the files I asked you to download earlier (and the modified index.php too, of course) to your /quizzes directory.

Ask your new quizz moderators to point their browsers at http://www.yoursite/forum/quizzes.index.php

All done.

Hmm...maybe I should include this in v1.1 of my add-on
