Inferno Quiz v2.2

Port of: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=80780

However, the system has a pretty big back-end, it's possible i over-looked a bit or 2, so if you encounter errors/php errors please feel free to let me know in this thread and i'll try to get them fixed asap

v2.2 Updates: (Upgrade instructions inside ZIP)
- Several areas of code otptimized (query reduction)
- Uncached templates now cached
- Ability in main options to choose default usergroups to participate/view results to be auto filled in when adding quizzes.

Enjoy,

- Zero Tolerance

sorry my mistake I don't know how but I downloaded 2.1 version, versio 2.2 is the newest. Downloaded and installed thanks.

Interesting suggestions everyone. Basically I'm just going to get it working, including the new features I said I would do. Anything else is too much for me. I'm not trying to rebuild it, just add a few critical features and fix some annoying bugs.
I will try to have an upload for everyone sometime soon, but no promises.

Just one query for you - is it possible to have a single-selection drop-down?


Exactly what I'm thinking craiovaforum, this would be an awesome modification to allow the quiz hack to be used as a tipping engine for sports matches, and I've got it working for me.. though kind of dodgily I'll happily admit.

Here's the changes I've made to facilitate this:
- disabled the PM's upon quiz completion (via commenting out the PM sections of /admincp/admin_quiz.php and /quiz.php)
- modified the 'quiz_thanks' template from 'Thank you for taking the quiz, your results have been PM'ed to you, check your Inbox to see them.' to 'Thank you for submitting your tips. Results will be posted next week.'
- Created a quiz, but left the 'correct answer' blank for each question
- The quiz is set to close the day before game day

- allow the users to take the quiz.. questions such as 'pick the result: wallabies, draw, all blecks' and 'who will score first try? Tuqiri, Latham, any other Wallaby'

- after the game I then 'Control Quiz Questions' and edit each question to input the now correct answer

- I then need to 'Moderate Quiz Results' and click 'Edit' followed by 'Update' for each user. It would be really nice if there were a query I could run that does a bulk update of all results.. but this is working for now.

- Finally I check all users who have 0% as I could have missed them.

Hope this helps,
Moses.

it's very hard to do since you have to update each user and with my board that has more than 6.000 users and on a challenge for the world cup with prizes we had more than 2.000 users that took place in that challenge immagine the work we had to do

true, would be a bit of a nightmare when you put it like that!
I've only got 20 users in my comp so slightly different scale

I tried something the other day with opening/closing a quiz.. need to check if that re-calculates all the scores... would be a good solution if it does.

I get this error when trying to submit a quiz:

Fatal error: Unable to proceed with save while $errors array is not empty in class vb_datamanager_pm in /includes/class_dm.php on line 758

Anyhelp?

Sorry found it. Set pm limit to 0

OK I am having another problem. MY PM's are now coming all jumbled. I have allow VB code in pm's but it is nopt breaking the list so the questions do not come with breaks?

Any ideas?

[nabeelaejaz]

ok i am stuck here in the installation file:

- Upload the XML Plugin file - what xml file? and upload where?
- quiz-plugins.xml - now what do i do with this file and what is it for?

Thanks.

Not been very bright i tried to make a quiz using an already made quiz xml file by changing the questions and answers, but when i tried to upload it i got this error: XML File Corrupted - Line: 2syntax error My questions are, first i hope i am not doing any wrong when using an already made file? and second if i am not, then is it actually possible to make quizzes this way if so what is it that i am doing wrong when changing all th equestions and answers? :alien:

Thanks.

Since installing vb 3.6 I cannot close or delete a quiz through the ACP. When I try to do either I get the following text come up:

Admin Hash Mismatch

And ideas on how I can correct this?

Many thanks

Is there a way to allow users to edit their quizzes? I have it set so that users can submit a quiz, but they just end up submitting half-finished quizzes and they can't edit them as far as I can see.

It would also be good to see which users have subitted which quizzes. Is this possible?

Thanks,

Chris
