vBQuiz 1.0

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 would be willing to pay $100 to get it going again

I should sell you mine that is just a port over ~ laughs lol

My problem is that we used vB Quiz for several months and created serveral quizzez that thousands participated in. We even developed our own "top 100" list and more. I'd love to get it going again.

bumping and looking for an update...

[TWTCommish]

Sorry for the delays. I have a fair amount of "day job" work this week, but have already started a bit of preliminary work at making this a reality. I'll continue this weekend and update you all when I have time.

Thank you for your patience.

This is a really nice hack. I've added it but am trying to fine tune it. I've just spent about 3 hours reading through this thread and trying the different suggestions for getting the hack to do what I'd like.

I've figured out one thing that was not successfully answered in the thread and would like to share the information.

This is for how to add an image to a quiz question. The various fixes already suggested didn't work for me (ie. changing the View Images option in the control panel to "yes", using the img vbcodes to insert the image (just got a link when I did that), using html code (didn't work because my board doesn't accept html so I just got the code, no image) and then finally Chris's suggestion for making one forum on the board accept html and then using that forum number in the quiz.php code. That is actually the way I got it to work but the original information was incorrect. Post numbers 548, 549 and 551 outline the problem and suggested fix.

The suggestion was to change this code....

PHP Code:

$quiz[description] = bbcodeparse($quiz[description]); 


to this....

PHP Code:

$quiz[description] = bbcodeparse($quiz[description], X); 


(where X is the number of a forum on your board that accepts html...I set my managment forum (number 13) to accept html since only only admins have access to it)

anyway, the correct change should be to find this code in quiz.php....

PHP Code:

$question[questiontext] = bbcodeparse($question[questiontext]); 


and change it to this....

PHP Code:

$question[questiontext] = bbcodeparse($question[questiontext], X); 


Again, replacing X with the number of a forum on your board which accepts html. The reason this works and the other didn't....your image is in the text of the question, not the description of the quiz!

Anyway, this worked like a charm for me and I can now add images to quiz questions using html so I hope it helps others as well.

IMPORTANT EDIT: read on a few posts to see how to accomplish image insertion using VBCODE instead of html (even if your previous vbcode didn't work)!!!!!

[Emmy2]

One other important note...

If you also want the image to show up on the results page (instead of the html code showing) you need to also do the same fix on the $result[questiontext] line.

Where can we see this in action emmy2?
