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).
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!

Yes. After a brief break to attend to some other things, I've begun working on this again in the last couple of days. Most of the work has revolved around creating the new quiz templates, which are mostly finished, but still need some work. The basic core of the script is done, and has been for a couple of weeks; you can create quizzes, users can take them, and see their results. Most of rhe work left falls under the following headings:
Fine-tuning (and reworking parts of) the admin script
Modifying and eventually finalizing the default quiz templates
Making the final decision as to which features to include with the original, standard release of the hack
Two things that have not yet begun are the integration into the phrase system (shouldn't take long), and the installation script.
My plan is to sell this initially, given the fact that it has required a larger amount of work than most hacks, and a great deal of original coding. It is possible that, sometime down the line, a scaled-down free version will be released.
I'll be working on it more this week, and weekend, and likely contacting those interested in purchasing it sometime next week. Meanwhile, if anyone else is interested, please post in this thread, or PM me, and I'll update you personally when the script is ready for use.
I am interested in the (for pay) script as it was very popular on my forums before I moved to vB3.
i am most definately interested in purchasing this, btw is their a option in this where you can have the standard (vb2) show results screen and an enhance quiz results screen to quizzes (i.e. you got 80% that makes you a blah blah blah, post this code in your journal).
I'm not really sure what the question means, to be honest.
As for ETA...it depends on too many other things. If this were all I did with my time, it'd have been done a couple weeks ago. If my other responsibilities keep me busy, it could be another week and a half to two weeks. If not, maybe by the end of the week. I'm not sure yet. Sorry...that's as specific as I can accurately get.
that's ok and i'll re-ask the question clearer with another in addition
will there be quizzes where you can answer with a text box instead of an option?
and will we be able to make quizzes with personalised finishing screens. i.e. "you got 90% you are the one, you entered the internet and quickly renamed yourself neo" you know like most online quizzes.
will there be quizzes where you can answer with a text box instead of an option?
No; way too complicated, for now. There'd be tons of issues to deal with...capitalization, spelling. Basically, to work realistically it'd have to give the admin the ability to list multiple answers which would be acceptable (IE: if the question was "Who was the 21st President of the United States?", it'd never do to have the answer be "Chester A. Arthur" -- you'd need to make Arthur, Chester Arthur, Chester A Arthur, and Chester A. Arthur all acceptable).
So, it's do-able, but that's more likely to be in a future release, along with a few other ambitious ideas.

No, not at this point. The results page is roughly the same as it was in 1.0; the changes have been in templates, settings and phrases, and in a few new features, which some of you may or may not have noticed from the screenshots I posted earlier.
