Dear Zero Tolerance,

thank you very, very much for your quiz! It's exactly what our readers definitely like, creation of the quiz is a lot of fun for me too!

My forum is on legends, myths and fairy tales in Europe, so from this region I experience some problems, hoping they are suggestions for you:

- In one quiz we ask for "Dracula", but some regions here write "Drakula" and similar. I would suggest, to make some sort of wildcard as "Dra$ula$" to allow similar typings as correct answer.

- I would like to add pictures for some questions. Suggestion?
Dream of expansion on this idea would be, that the picture is shown in parts, and if candidate needs more parts (or more resolution) to recognise, looses percentage.

- Another definite popular demand here in Europe is a "Joker" (there is no translation to English, so I'll have to explain ;-). If there are four possible answers, the canditate might cry [click] "Joker" and the system reduces the possible four answers to two.

Kindest regards from Austria

Wolfgang

Firstly, excellent hack! It seems to be very well polished off!

Next, for v3, I think these suggestions are very good:

Quiz difficulties are dynamically created by the quiz system based on how well players perform on a quiz. If most people do really well on a quiz it may be rated as "Easy". If no one does well, probably "Impossible".

The order of difficulty:

Simple
Very Easy
Easy
Average
Tough
Difficult
Very Difficult
Impossible

And one request by me... after someone finishes off a quiz, can you output a page with their results and the correct answers? On my forum i dont give everyone access to private messaging, so it would be very useful if they could see their results on the site rather then through PM...

Edit: actually that last request could probaby be done if on the "thank you for doing this quiz" page we provide a link to directly view the stats of that individual for that quiz? Anyone know what the code for such a link would be?

TopeeGuy · #**204** 05-26-2005, 12:21 AM

One more request

Explanatory notes... i.e., in the admincp, each question has a field where we can explain the answer in more depth. This isn't shown while doing the quiz, but when the user is given his/her results, and the answers, the system also shows him the explanatory notes.

Explanatory notes would be something like why an answer is true/false, a bit more information about the answer, etc.

And thanks for the bug fix amy, i'll check it out tomorrow (time for sleep soon)

well so far its when i added the questions manually. So when i add something like with the "talking marks" it stuffs up and adds wierd codes around it.

bluesteel · #**206** 05-26-2005, 10:32 AM

I got round this problem by adding single quotes (') instead of (")
Hope that helps.

I'm seeing the same problem. I'll look into it this morning.

Got it. Here's the fix.

In includes/engine.quiz.php Find:

Code:

print_input_row("{$Q['q_question']}<dfn><u>Actual Answer:</u> {$Params['answer']}</dfn>", 'question[$Q[qid]]',$Data);

Replace with:

Code:

print_input_row("{$Q['q_question']}<dfn><u>Actual Answer:</u> {$Params['answer']}</dfn>", "question[{$Q['qqid']}]",$Data);

I am not sure that you are going to be able to fix any of the already corrupt results from before this fix though.
