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!

Link: read the instructions.txt file, please. It explains that problem specifically. That's why I put it there, basically...so avoid posts like this.

Good job on the hack, TWTCommish. I installd it a few days ago, and my members love it! I rated this hack 5/5.

Sorry about not beta testing it earlier, we've had some hacker issues around my forums the last few weeks. I'll be ready for the next one! :rambo:

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...

It looks like they have upgraded to PHP 4.2.1 in the last week or so.

I have removed the quiz tables from the database and unedited the php files. My templates are still a mess. Is there a way to fix this?

Please?

The problem is not with the hack...the problem is with vB 2.2.5 (and other earlier versions, I think), which has a compatibility problem with newer versions of PHP. Upgrading to 2.2.6 should do the trick.

Is there a way to display scores on the main page and in high scores as a percentage.

Since I have quizes with different number of questions it is hard to judge which scores are great or poor.

Thanks

Hi TWT,

I am trying to setup the hack on my testboard (vb 2.2.4, php 4.1.2). I ran into the initial template problem but that is fixed now. However I cannot add any quizzes, submitting the 'Add Quiz' form just returns a blank page to me. Adding a category worked fine.

Any ideas?

TWTCommish · #**388** 06-27-2002, 09:27 PM

A blank page? Hmm. Go to the "Approve" area...is the quiz waiting there for approval?

Smoothie · #**389** 06-27-2002, 09:38 PM

TWTCommish-

any word on a new version?

Nope, no quizzes found. I checked the database tables and no info gets uploaded in there either. Very strange...

This is an EXCELLENT hack! Thanks so much for sharing it with us. I've got the hack working fantastically but I have one small (prolly dumb) question. I'd like to add a link to it in my "forum jump" dropdown menu. How would I do that?
