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!

I have setup a testquiz, but if I hit "Take this quiz" I get "Error: invalid quiz specified."... see at

I stand correged, Sigon: you should probably remove that post. It's making this page of the thread lag like CRAZY.

TalkHardRandy: same error on the same line? Either way can you post the line in question, as well as 3 lines before and after it? I want to make sure we're dealing with the same thing here.

Harryli: sounds like you didn't add any questions to your quiz.

NOTE: to those of you having trouble with the templates...I'm 99% sure that the script is working exactly as intended...however, it assumes that you don't have multiple style sets in place. If you do, well, let me know...so I can confirm that that is indeed the problem, and offer up a fix.

I have 2 styles on my vB.

Hm, just proved it and did:

choose "Add questions", Added a Questions (some letters) and "1" Answer, for Quiz "neu". Then I tried to modify this, choosing "Qui, Questions, modify, Quiz "neu", and ... no questions found... ???

[TalkHardRandy]

Okay... error is:

Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in /usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/talkhardonline.com/httpdocs/quiz.php on line 350

Okay here are the lines with 350 in red:

while ($answer = $DB_site->fetch_array($answers)) {
$color = ($color_num++ % 2) ? '{secondaltcolor}' : '{firstaltcolor}';
$answer[answertext] = bbcodeparse($answer[answertext]);
eval("\$answerbits .= \"".gettemplate("quiz_answerbit")."\";");
}

$question_number = $HTTP_POST_VARS["question"];
$answer_count = $DB_site->num_rows($answers);
$num = $HTTP_POST_VARS["question"] + 1;

eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("quiz_question")."\ ");");
exit();

Any ideas?

[-=dm=-]

Hard_one I think u have to go to the
--> admin cp --> vBulletin Options-->Quiz Options-->at the bottom save changes.
I got this error and I did that

[TWTCommish]

I'm afraid I don't understand what you're saying, Harryli.

Hard_one: I don't mean to sound rude, but if you'd read the instructions, you wouldn't have run into that problem. db is correct.

As for the templates: I'll get to work on that tonight. The solution should be rather simple.
