vBQuiz 1.0 · **Released**: 06-10-2002

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:

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!

TWTCommish - after reading page one of this 41 page thread, I was able to add this wonderful hack without any problems!

Upon successful completion, I did take the time to read all the 41 pages of posts and I must agree with Steve (somewhere in the middle of these 41 pages) regarding why folk might be reluctant to share hacks. Gosh! A million questions asked that were in the install notes, a million folk saying I don't want to read all these pages could you just answer this one question, 1/2 million asking for version 2 when you were knee deep in version 1, 1/2 million throwing in a dammm or WTF when it didn't work properly for them the first time ... after reading comments like these I expected you to be cursing too ... but you remained calm, cool, and polite ... my hats off to you!

Thanks for a wonderful hack. Clicking Installed.

Erwin (or someone?)......

When I tried this one, the script said it had succesfully installed all the templates. But they didn't show up in either template set. We have only two styles, but those templates aren't listed in either of them so I can't copy them over.

Am I missing something else?

Talisman · #**616** 11-25-2002, 07:10 PM

Well, I'm really stuck with this one, now. Something caused a conflict for the auto-installer ..... and I'm not able to copy templates to a different set (they just didn't show up anywhere). I also can't seem to continue this installation manually because the installer won't let me skip the steps I've already done.

Thus far, I've uploaded the php files where they belong and I ran the install file. But I've no idea how to proceed now:

1 - Having checked what I can find ....... the quiz database tables are there; they look great.

2 - The templates didn't get loaded anywhere.

3 - Nothing appears in the Admin CP that relates to quizzes.... and I can't continue with the install instructions.

Would someone familiar with this hack, please help me? We really want to use this great feature, along with the later enhancements that have been released for this, too.

I can't run the install again without messing up the database and I can't install this manually without help.

Please?

Talisman · #**617** 11-26-2002, 02:49 AM

Okay, I figured out how to "drop" existing tables via phpMyAdmin ........ so I was able to "un"-install the hack and run the installer again (without interruption this time).

The quiz functions are working great in the Admin CP now, I just have 1 remaining problem ...... still no templates.

--------------------

Edit -> Finally found the table where the templates hang out. No problem...... easy enough to change the templatesetid now.

Talisman · #**618** 11-26-2002, 08:14 AM

Success!! Got these blasted quizzes working now (whew!) and I'm so happy I can hardly stand it.

What a great feature..... thanks for creating this hack!

Cheers!

Hey TWT,
Thnks for the fantastic work and devotion on this great hack.

I think I screwed up by trying to reinstall the hack and now there are 5 instances of "Quiz Options" in my "Vbulletin Options" area. any way of getting rid of four of these?

Talisman · #**620** 11-26-2002, 07:16 PM

Had the same problem, Brahm. But by using phpMySql, I finally found the Admin CP "vBulletin Options" list in the database table called "Setting."

If you go there and display the Setting table (click on that table, then "browse), click on the column heading "settingid" two times and it will sort and display the table in reverse order. This lets you see the last entries the hack installed for you there.

Scroll down to find one set of records to keep, then delete the 4 sets of duplicates you don't want. Just make sure you keep one full set.

If you ran the installer that many times, you've also got 5 sets of templates in the database. So, you'll want to tidy that up, too.

Good luck!
