can this mod allow the creation of mutliple choice questions and answers that would allow my members to learn new stuff by taking virtual quizzes ?????

1. Upgrade to Easy Forms v4.2.6
2. Enable Quiz Mode & Disable Form Preview
3. Edit Questions and add the 'correct answer' for each question

Thank you so much! I have installed this wonderful mod already, and I am happy to see my most wanted featured being featured in it: Quiz mode. Rated 6 over 5!
Good job bananalive

[Mr_Running]

I like what I see with this mod

My thoughts.
It would be great to have an option for the admin to create a form and have a tab button in each user profile and posted to an individual forum thread for each individual member with an option for two threads. 1 Private and 2 Public with the user choosing the 1 or 2.

Or maybe the user choosing similar options
as in the vB Profile Privacy

1) Everyone
2) Registered members
3) Your Contacts
4) Your Friends

This would be nice too 5) Just me

All this with no additional set up...it would be automatic when the user becomes a member but maybe this might need to be a different mod

Please let me know if this can be done or be considered in a future update.

Hi - thank you -

1. Drop down list is great and working from the filtered list.

I think I might have referred to this in an earlier post and commented I needed to test further, but I confirmed tonight that the forum that the form actually posts in to however upon submission is still the default one on the form. In other words, although I select another forum from the drop down now working, the post goes in to the original default forum still. Is this something you could advise on please?

2. Re the question of the prefix question - good point - thanks. However when I do this, I get the code for the prefix output rather than the title of the prefix i.e. I get FH001 not 'Family Home to Buy". I am using say {qo_59} where 59 is the custom question.

Thanks for your ongoing assistance.

$forum['selected'] = ' selected="selected"';

$answer .= "<option value=\"$forumid\"$forum[selected]>$forum[title]</option>";
}
$answer .= "</select>"; 


Have you tried using the question hash of the prefix question?

bananalive 1st off thank you very much for this mod, it has been a great addition to my community.

I do have a bug report that I'm not sure is just me. The correct answer box is not long enough for the answer to a question in quiz mode. It seems like the field is to small?

[Cyamia]

I have installed this mod BUT I did not get what I had expected from the quiz mode. In fact, when a user previews what the form he/she has done so far, the previews shows the results as well, which lets him/her know if he/she got the questions wrong or right. What is worse is that it the preview shows him/her the correct answers (What would be the point of the quiz then?)

So, is there a was to disable this so that the user do not see the result immediately? If not, do you plan to improve this quiz part in future releases?

Thank you.

There's a limit of 60 characters, if that isn't enough for you, import attached file.

Sorry, I'm afraid that's not possible with this modification

Thank you for this, it worked perfectly. Is there a way to shut off the quiz portion on just 1 question so it doesn't mark it as incorrect when it needs to be a different answer for each person? No rush on this if not, just a suggestion for when you release a new version. Another suggestion would be to make it so it goes to different questions based on your answers.


I have been able to get away from google doc forms thanks to you. Now all we need to do is make it so we can use advanced formulas realtime like in excel spread sheets and I will be able to get away from it entirely, lol. I know that's a pipe dream, that would be way to much work for one person to do.
