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!

TWTCommish, How hard would it be to add a image to the quiz? I want to use an image of a person and have them guess who the picture is.

I've installed this hack but when I try to run the admin, I get a blank page. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

TWC - OUTSTANDING hack - I've been following along for a month. Installed yesterday - Functional today - VB 2.2.3 !!

Thank you very Much !!

There are oodles of free quizzes to be had, by just doing a "google" search on quizzes.. You will have to 'make' up incorrect answers for the questions, and that can take some research, but I know my members will love it !!

WOW TWT,

Good hack!!! I read the instructiobns properly, followed them to the letter, and it worked 1st time for me.

Only thing I had to do is link to the quiz from my header template, which is of coutrse basic.

I bet you don't write an update though, not after 29 pages of people asking the same questions, some that were explained in the instructions.

Infact, I'd be suprised if you ever post a hack again man!

Damn fine work!

bitbender · #**426** 07-09-2002, 08:17 PM

Thats a Fact, I agree, Demascus !!

I do have one question, thou.. from analysis of the adm_index code, it seems fairly simple to open it up for mods...
Or am I exposing something bad by changing that first require statement ? I tried it on my test server, and it worked well from the forum/mod/ folder, and allowed my dummy mod username to perform all functions...

thanks, Bits

I would interested in what code you have to change (if any) to allow mods, or even a certain user group to add quizzes.

Anyone?

bitbender · #**428** 07-10-2002, 12:02 AM

well, if TWTcomish says what I did was ok, Is fine with me, but imo, I did it clumsy, and redundant. I read thru the admin_quiz.php code and saw how it was doing it's outside directory references. In my "limited" knowledge, that seemed to be the only problem it was going to have in it's execution, if it were copied to the /mod folder for access via MOD Cp .

My board uses PHPortal as a front end, so I was able to alter the copy of admin_quiz.php I put in the /mod folder, nd it seemed to work. I tested it using a username who is SUPERMODERATOR usergroup on my test server.

WHAT I changed was the require statement for the globals..

from:

Quote:

require("./global.php");

To:

Quote:

require("$nukeurl/BBF/admin/global.php");

Be kind...Career Programmer, but relative n00b to PHP..Just 9 months young...

Chris,

Any progress on adding a comment field in addition to the answers as I described previously?

The hack ist great and workes fine for me. But as said before I think the hardest and easiest quiz funktion says nothing without a percentage scoring. Is this addition to hard to do for version1 of the hack ? But again - its one of the best addition for vBB !

workes great - can you also make an addion witch display the latest new quiz below the easieast and hardest quiz on forumhome ?

For those wanting to use the quiz entry outside the admin range, wait for VBquiz 2.0. The method I used was unreliable, and unrepeatable on my live server.

The differences between my two environments are the PHP level, and Red Hat levels, but moreso the fact that the rack I lease uses Ensim as a domain manager, and it file system mapping is very different than my test server. The global includes are not processing the same as they do on my local server, so the script just flushes thru; none of it's IF statements are true.

I am still trying to find out why it works ok locally (test server), but I didnt want to mislead anyone by my earlier post (#428).

Rather than hack apart a manificent piece of work as this, I'll defer until the authors publish an upgrade.

I apologize if I have wasted anyones time, other than my own..
