vBQuiz Add-on v1.2

vBQuiz Add-on v1.3 (for vBQuiz 1.0)
(https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=42000)
(by Martin64, martin64@vbhackers.com. Additional functions by FASherman)

ABOUT: Since vBQuiz is such a great hack, I decided to make this add-on to pay my respect to TWTCommish Don't forget to visit his great board at http://www.movieforums.com. :P

NOTE: Of course, you must have installed vBQuiz 1.0 before you start.

DESCRIPTION: Let's describe this add-on as having 3 functions, all optional and independant of eachother:

Step 1: This part of the add-on displays a "Forum Quiz Center", which has a link to the main quizzes page and also, it shows how many of X available quizzes you have taken. This part of the add-on was made by FASherman so a big thank you to him . Check out this version online at http://www.fasherman.com/forums

Below the Forum Quiz Center, it will display the easiest and hardest quizzes.

Step 2: As you know if you have vBQuiz 1.0 installed, only Admins are able to add, edit and remove quizzes. This add-on enables the ability for Moderators to manage quizzes as well.

Step 3. Finally, these instructions will create a Quizzes CP. This could come handy if you plan to assign certain members to manage quizzes only. Please note that still need to be assigned as moderator of a board in order to be able to reach the Quizzes Control Panel.

Enjoy! :knockedout:

installed and works fine

Id let me members use if i could as end of day its them who are gonna be using it and we all know that mods are lazy to even make a quiz up.

Anyway this and the quiz hack is well neat and intergrate well together but im going ov the beaten track here a bit but would anyone who reads this know how to add it so points are given to the user upon completiton of the quiz (if they got all right etc and passed the quiz) as this makes it more beneficial and each user can only take the quiz once so surely this would avoid cheats who would do the same quiz over again.And the points system i refer to is ov course Lesannes Store Hack as it is the best i have seen.

Like i say i know im ov track here but excellant addon anyway m8

Hm. Thinking about it I'd love it if I could show in postbit and/or profile all the quiz scores added together. I have all my quizzes formatted with 10 questions with 3 possible answers. So all scores and x out of 10. I'd like it if I could add up the number of quizzes then the total score they have.

(Sorry - clueless).

It's not as easy as that. Remember, you need to set it up so that members can only edit or delete the quizzes they made - at the moment, people with access to admin_quiz.php can edit or delete anyone else's quiz.

Indeed.

Besides, I don't really see the use of this, since this could cause the quizzes to become very inaccurate since you don't have someone to approve them. For instance, the last quiz someone submitted to me was full of bad questions and answers, and it took me 15 minutes just to correct the spelling and grammar errors. I rather have someone trusted to correct the quizzes than for a regular member to just throw it up there. :classic:

Admins and/or moderators do have a sense of responsibility for the board to work flawlessly and without problems, while regular members (generally) don't have to act like grown ups.

It's a good thought, however, but for members to add quizzes themselves without them approved by admins/mods first? Not in my board, at least. But I must say, a system where anyone can add a quiz, which has to wait for moderation, would be sweet.

[Mr_P]

yeah but i know this is quiz section but what about giving users something in return if they manage to complete the quiz say 80%

a lot of us now use a points system so how hard would it be to incorporate some code into this so if the user did get over the percentage they would be rewarded with a set amount of points.
Or even charge em to take quiz or make em lose a certain amount if they fail to get over half right - ideas are endless but putting it into practise is even harder.

Store hack points system is best and is widely used

I've always ran the board myself, w/ the help of another Sr. Administrator. I use individual forum mods, but they are not in ther UserGroup Mods...their names were added to a specific forum as a Moderator from the Forum Modify menu.

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.

The approval or delete is already a part of the script. You even have to do that when YOU make a quiz now... If a member submits a bad quiz you edit it or delete it.

IMO it would save bundles of time because you don't have to type everything. Even a quiz riddled with spelling mistakes is easier to edit than to type all over again.
