I test it on my local Server.
Great Hack!

But there is a way to cheat (Timelimit).
If you Start a Quiz, you can copy and past the text, gi back with the "Back" button from your Browser. Then you can start the quiz again.

Thanks, a really great hack. I've installed it and the minor problem of having to go too and from FireFox and IE to set permissions could be looked at but i'm sure people can put up with this small problem for now.

Great hack, Keep up the good work.

Suggestion: Can you implement a scheduled task feature (cron job). Where admins would preload the questions ahead of time for a designated schedule, and it automatically starts a quiz thread. Like the Thread of the Week hack.

ive got a few probs ... can you help me please

// *************************************************

if ($debug == 1)
{
construct_nav_option($vbphrase['admin_help_manager'], 'help.php?do=manage&script=NOSCRIPT');
}
construct_nav_group($vbphrase['vbulletin_options'], '<hr />');
}
if ($printhr == true)

}

// ###### ELITECODERS DOWNLOAD HACK ######
construct_nav_option("Settings", 'downloadadmin.php?do=settings', '<br />');
construct_nav_option("Categories", 'downloadadmin.php?do=category', '<br />');
construct_nav_group("Downloads", '<hr />');
// ###### ELITECODERS DOWNLOAD HACK ######

// *************************************************

can you tell me where to put :

$printhr = true ;
construct_nav_option("Control Inferno Quiz's", 'admin_quiz.php', '<br />');
construct_nav_option("Control Quiz Questions", 'admin_quiz.php?do=questions', '<br />');
construct_nav_group("Inferno Quiz Control", '<hr />');
$printhr = false;

Find:

Code:

$printhr = false;
if (can_administer('canadminsettings'))
{
$printhr = true;
construct_nav_option($vbphrase['vbulletin_options'], 'options.php?null=0', '<br />');
if ($debug == 1)
{
construct_nav_option($vbphrase['admin_help_manager'], 'help.php?do=manage&script=NOSCRIPT');
}
construct_nav_group($vbphrase['vbulletin_options'], '<hr />');
}
if ($printhr == true)
{
construct_nav_spacer();
}

Underneath Place:

Code:

$printhr = true ;
construct_nav_option("Control Inferno Quiz's", 'admin_quiz.php', '<br />');
construct_nav_option("Control Quiz Questions", 'admin_quiz.php?do=questions', '<br />');
construct_nav_group("Inferno Quiz Control", '<hr />');
$printhr = false;

Thats for admincp/index.php, as for the template, it seems you are using a skin with a custom header, you will have to ask the author of the skin how to add more navigation buttons i'm afraid.

Not sure when i'll get v2 out, but i'll be releasing v1.1 soon which fixes a couple of bugs, such as the FireFox incompatability for permissions control

Nice work ZT.

Are you planning to have a general quiz area where all quizzes can be viewed / taken along with a leaderboard stats?

Paul M · #41 05-01-2005, 11:53 AM

Hi, I have installed this on our test system with a view to going live.

I have a few points & suggestions (some of which you may have covered already).

1. Add the ability for users to add quizes.

2. In the admin area, make the selecting of usergroups via tick boxes.

3. Add the ability in ACP to edit (moderate) peoples answers and re-submit.

4. Add the ability in ACP to delete a persons quiz submission.

5. Check if a person has previously submitted a quiz at the point of submission (I can backspace and re-submit a quiz as often as I want).

6. For timed quizes, check if a user has javascript enabled and prevent them taking part if not (otherwise they can bypass the timer simply by disabling JS).

7. For text answers, make the check more "fuzzy". For instance if the correct answer is "red" then if I enter "it's red" I will be marked as wrong, when in fact I'm correct.

Thanks.
