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!

How do you edit the image for an existing quiz?

Pilot · #**333** 06-20-2002, 05:49 PM

How can I stop the Email being sent - seems pointless - although a PM might be OK?

TWTCommish · #**334** 06-20-2002, 05:56 PM

There is no way to edit the image yet...because I'm a moron.

As for the email (I don't think it's pointless, personally...it encourages them to take more quizzes, and, if you're resourceful, you can stick an ad in there).

To stop the email from being sent, find this (in quiz.php):

Code:

mail($userinfo[email], $subject, $body, "From: $bbtitle Mailer <$bbemail>");

...and replace it with this...

Code:

// mail($userinfo[email], $subject, $body, "From: $bbtitle Mailer <$bbemail>");

the way that I am doing it is by uploading the new image into the directory, with the same name overwriting the existing one.

Did you get the border problem figured out (so it matches the rest of the site)?

Lionel: yep, that'll work.

Boofo: to be honest, I haven't been trying...I've been combing through the other problems so far...functionality over fashion, of course.

Pilot · #**338** 06-20-2002, 06:03 PM

OK thanks - it looks promising - I will have my mods test it for a while. I do suggest an uninstall program to delete the database changes would be a good idea for those wanting to remove it or to re-install it.

Boofo · #**339** 06-20-2002, 06:11 PM

The problems should pretty well be solved (at least the ones we had in the beginning).

You have done a great job on fixing them.

Once we get the display problems fixed, you should be all set for a much needed rest from this.

I do not know if this has been addressed before (there should be a hack to narrow a search within a thread). Looks like there is a pagination problem. I have 14 quizzes in one category and page 2 starts with the last quiz of page 1 and I am missing one quiz.

Whenever I try to disapprove, the last one of page 1 always duplicates itself at the top of page 2.

Lionel · #**341** 06-21-2002, 04:05 AM

To solve my pagination problem, I went into the options. Since I have 14 quizzes, I changed my settings to display 14 quizzes. It says one of 14 but the actual count is 13.
I changed the display to 15 and they all showed up.
