vBQuiz 1.0

NOTE: all functionality-impairing bugs have been fixed. The attached files should work well on just about any PHP installation.

What's it do?
It allows you to setup a quiz center on your boards quickly and easily. This quiz center is FULLY templated, integrated with vBulletin, and has an advanced Admin script for managing the quizzes, categories, and questions. Here's an example: Movie Forums - Quizzes

A few of its features...

• Tracks all results and displays high scores.
• Upon completion, users are given a total quiz breakdown of the quiz, showing them how they fared on each question, and, on the ones they missed, showing them the correct answer.
• Upon completion, users are shown a graphical bar representing their score, and a graphical bar representing the average score for the quiz. They are also emailed their information.
• Main quiz page calculates and displays the easiest and most difficult quizzes automatically.
• Quizzes can be split up into categories.
• Quizzes can be approved or disapproved easily to add/remove them from public view/use.
• Full integration with the Who's Online? page...IE: "Viewing Quizzes" or "Viewing So and So Quiz" and even "Taking So and So Quiz"

Admin Abilities:

• Disallow multiple quiz takings.
• Toggle to disinclude quiz results coming from the author of the quiz.
• Change the display order of the answers to each question.
• Add multiple questions and answers at once (no limit).

Here are some screenshots:

• Main Quiz Page
• Quiz Display
• Quiz Category Display
• Quiz Question Display
• Quiz Results Page
• ADMIN: Quiz Options/Navigation
• ADMIN: Add Quiz
• ADMIN: Add Questions
• ADMIN: Delete Quiz
• ADMIN: Modify Question
• ADMIN: Quiz Settings

That's it! Don't forget, however, to read ALL of the instructions.txt file in the enclosed vbquiz.zip file. It'll help guard against some common bugs.

Files Enclosed (in vbquiz.zip)
- instructions.txt (read it!)
- quiz.php (upload to main forum dir)
- admin_quiz.php (upload to admin dir)
- install_quiz.php (upload to admin dir and then run)

Enjoy!

Also: a HUGE, HUGE, HUGE thanks to GamerForums for beta testing this hack for me. His help was completely invaluable and surely saved me a lot of work in the long run. Thanks!

Another question - is it possible to display on the frontpage of quiz.php (where the latest quizzes, Categorys, easyest und hardest quiz is) below easiest and hardest quiz the following:

"Last Quizzers"
Username - Quiz
User DRF did Testquiz
User ETF did The movie Quiz
User blabla did Star Wars Quiz
....

How can I do this ?

Here are some other very usefull things fors the quiz witch came from my forum users.

1. Links on on Correct/Incorrect Page: It should be possible to name a link on the correct/incorrcet page. Where the Quizzers can find and prove the right answer.

2. Commentarys on Correct/Incorrect Page: same as above. Quizmakers should there can describe the correct answer. Maybe you can put 1 and 2 into 1 Field.

3. Question Statistik: so that quiz creators can see how often (in %) a question was solved correct or incorrect.

4. Quiz Rating: User should have the option to say how they liked the quiz. This could be done like thread rating or in a scale from A to F like in school

Thanx - the quiz is booming on my board.

I'd like to respectfully ask the people reading this to PLEASE keep all requests for support within this thread...I cannot offer support via email, PM, or IM. If I did, it wouldn't be long at all before I found myself spending more time troubleshooting with people than I I'd spent on the hack itself, by far.

Read the instructions included with the hack, and read through the thread if need be.

Thank you.

Could you make a quick fix so that when I want to edit a quiz to change the image I can do it through the edit template instead of me going into the database??

Maybe a cool idea for a future release is to be able to set a limit for the image and/or a trick that uses image_magick which resize the image to the limit that is set.

can someone please let me know how guests can view the quiz page, but not go any further and take the quizzes? Now, the log in page shows right away.... I would want them to see some more and have them sign up to take the quiz.

I'm not sure if this will just remove it from the main quiz page, or all of them, so you'll have to try..

In quiz.php, remove the

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0) {
  show_nopermission();
} 


But if my assumptions are correct, it might remove it from all pages....

Yes, you are right..... it did. Anyone know where I should put it in again to remove the log in on the main quiz page, but keep it on the following pages?

I still get 99/101% when I score a 100%....

I re-ran the install_quiz.php to add quiz templates to my main default template.

I accidently hit Step 2 and now I have TWO [Quiz Options] in the VB Options. Where do I go to remove the second addition?
