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!

This is a great hack. My users love it. I ended up making the quiz templates part of the built in set so that all styles can see it.

I have a couple of small issues. One being the rating of hardest/easiest quiz. I belive that should be based on percentage correct, not actual number correct.

Well, I don't know how to make this option available in the main site other than just having a static URL link in a template.

Really need something dynamic like XX quizes available or a high scores table for the most recent quiz - something like that.

A piece of PHP code that showed the number of quizzes available and a leader table (maybe over all quizes) would be the ideal way to create interest and attract members to the quiz area.

Just saying "quizzes here" is not going to do much. But I am not a coder so am looking for assistance here - depends whether you are interested in your excellent hack being really used or not.

Well, first off, I can't say I appreciate your tone. It IS being used...many people have told me so...the people on my site sure dig it. Fact of the matter is a lot of areas on vB are just linked to: the User CP, the Members List...why is this suddenly different?

However, yes, there are better ways to attract more attention to it...I'm just more concerned with sorting out all the bugs and templates and improving the more basic features and necessities for the next version first, though.

Martin64 · #**365** 06-23-2002, 03:11 PM

I absolutely agree with you, TWTCommish. I added this hack yesterday and submitted my own quizz which has been taken by 66 members already.

People love this new interaction feature so much that they have already submitted 5 new quizzes for me to add. Thank you.

TWTCommish, given some of the responses here I can understand why some people don't want to release hacks anymore. You are to be commended for your patience and perserverance. Good job!

TWTCommish · #**367** 06-23-2002, 07:27 PM

Thanks.

Most of it doesn't bother me...'cept for the folks who don't read instructions.txt, and post here instead. Grrr!

It comes with the territory, though.

Hmmm. I don't know if they did or not (assuming this is directed at me, of course). I didn't realize that it might not work on 2.2.5, I must have missed that in the instructions somewhere.

Is there a way to 'undo' it? Uninstall?

TWTCommish · #**369** 06-23-2002, 09:24 PM

Well, if the problem is the one I described, then whatever you do with the Quiz hack is irrelevant. Could you ask your host if they've upgraded PHP recently? That might provide some insight...

In case someone wants to have their easiest and hardest quizzes on the forumhome, I did a little modification of this hack so that it displays them below online users (in my case).

Check out the attached screenshot, or view it at www.emutalk.net

If there's interest I can explain how I did it (probably not the smoothest way since I don't know much about php

)

Boofo · #**371** 06-24-2002, 06:41 AM

Looks great! I'd definately be interested in seeing how it was done.
