I'll add it to the future request list. It's not possible to do it now.

Hi, great mod so far! Is there a way to make vBQuiz not make my question images so small? I when I upload a question image it resizes them and makes them too small to read.

[kurfer]

Nevermind, just figured it out. Didn't realize it was in the admincp settings.

I am working on a site that has a series of quizes already implemented as a Movable Type blog, with the results being saved in a cookie. Problem is if a user takes quizes on a different machine, the results are never sync'ed.

vBulletin 4 is installed on a subdomain for forums, and we are using MediaWiki for a wiki, with vbMediaWiki plugin for single-signon between those 2 products.

Do you think this mod could serve as a back-end to save the MT quiz results in a user's vB account? Has anyone integrated this with MT or any other software?

I've never played with MT. I'm not sure what you are wanting to do? If you are talking about using our quiz mod to just store the results while using MT to run the quizzes, it probably wont work. The way the results are stored requires the quiz mod to be controlling the quizzes.

Like the product, just purchased pro. When I try to sort by highest individual score I get this error.

Also is there a way to alter the way scores are displayed on the leaderboard?? It is set to percentage now, is there a way we could do it by total points scored?? The percentage basis seems to be a bit off. When you take 1 quiz and get every question right, only registers a score of 50%. After 34, not missing a question, only get score of 99%
Do I possibly have something set wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Please post pro support issues in the correct forum on the DBT website.

The error I'll answer here since it could happen with both lite and pro and because I love anything zombie.
Open dbtech/vbquiz/actions/userresults.php

About line 218 you'll find

        $quiz_query = $vbulletin->db->query_read("
            SELECT 
                q.*, 
                u.username, 
                t.taken_id, 
                t.completed,

            LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user u ON q.userid = u.userid 
            LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "dbtech_vbquiz_taken t ON q.quiz_id = t.quiz_id 
            WHERE

            ORDER BY

            LIMIT 
                " . ($limitlower - 1) . ", " . $perpage
        );

replace with

        $quiz_query = $vbulletin->db->query_read("
            SELECT 
                q.*, 
                u.username,

                t.completed_date, 
                t.final_result_text , 
                (t. final_score/t.possible_score) as percent_score 
            FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "dbtech_vbquiz_quiz q 
            LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user u ON q.userid = u.userid 
            LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "dbtech_vbquiz_taken t ON q.quiz_id = t.quiz_id 
            WHERE 
                t.userid = " . intval($u) . "
            ORDER BY 
                " . $query_vars . " 
            LIMIT 
                " . ($limitlower - 1) . ", " . $perpage
        );

For the other problem, can you create a thread on the DBT site? It could involve things not available in the lite version and saves on confusion. Thanks.
