Test Your Members' Knowledge Before Allowing Them to Post in Certain Forums

This mod is an addon to the Inferno Quiz System You must have that mod installed and working to use this.

What it does: It requires users to achieve a minimum score on a specified quiz to post in a forum.
Example: You have a PHP discusssion forum for advanced coders. You don't want novices bothering your members with trivial questions. So, you require anybody who wishes to post in that forum to achieve a minimum score of 70% on an advance PHP quiz that you created using Inferno Quiz.

How to install it: Import the Product. Done. No template edits, nothing else to do.

How to use it: In your admincp forum manager, edit the forum(s) you wish this to use this mod for. Enter a Quiz ID and the minimum acceptable score. Save the forum. You're done.

You can easily require users to pass different quizzes to be able to post in different forums. If a user has not taken the quiz, he is directed to do so. If he has failed the quiz, he sees an error message.

I don't expect many of you will use this. I'm not even using it. But, the idea hit me and it was fun to throw together.

Thanks, Lance

Wondering if this question could still be answered? I would be very interested (have a great use for this!) if we could promote into usergroups based on pass/fail.

Thanks for your time.

Sure, you could do it. But, I will not be doing it as I lack the time and do not need it for myself.

Great hack! One question though. COuld it also be made, so that a person has to pass the quiz, before he/she is allowed to register on the forums?

In other words, guests need to pass the quiz, before being allowed to register on the website.

That would be really handy! For adult content sites, a question could be put to new users to confirm whether or not they were of (say) legal drinking age ...

Is it possible to have the quiz pop up as part of the registration process? Cheers, twobob

I figured out part of the phrase dilemma. You need to add the phrases "quiz_not_taken" and "quiz_failed" to the Front-End Error Messages category in order for them to work. It will not work just adding them to GLOBAL.

Now that I have those phrases showing up, it won't display the $foruminfo[score] nor the link to the quiz. Any suggestions?

p.s. If you want your users to have to pass the quiz before they can even read in your forum, copy the plugin code from newthread_start and create new plugins using forumdisplay_start and showthread_start as the hooks with the same source code.

I haven't tested that, but it should work.

Can someone please do this for me? or can someone at least tell me where to find newthread_start, forumdisplay_start and showthread_start?

I really like this mod, but would it work for vB 3.6.8, or better yet on 3.7.0?

I would greatly appreciate if you could possibly remake the mod so that it would work on the newer versions.

Thank you.

Indeed. This is a nice hack. It would be nice to see a upgrade to 3.7

Does anyone have this working on vb 3.7?

Nothing shows up in the forum manager.

Does anyone know how to get this mod working on vb 3.7?
