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!

Testing this hack on my test server at the moment.. Just a point.. I don't think you actually need the references to $bburl in the templates.

This caused my test server (on my laptop) running locally to try and connect to the "real" server on the internet.

I just deleted the $bburl in the templates and it works fine.

This rates up their with some of my favorite hacks, and I've installed close to a hundred. The instalation went without a hitch. I use 3 styles, unfortunatelly board style is 3. But it was np just going to default style, clicking edit and changing to new style set and saving. My bad, should have read the 23 pages first. This has installed perfectly. Thanks for such a huge hack.

There is a lot to read through this post. I have the newest version of the quiz but the only prob I am having is that I cannot see my questions when people go try to take the quiz. How can i fix this. All they see is the answers to choose from.

BigJohnson: I suspect you're using the template modification mid-way through the thread. Don't.

Use everything from the first post.

TWTCommish,

I have installed this Quiz last night and my members absolutely love it. A great reponse by them, thank you!!!! It installed quickly, easilly and was trouble free.

I have a question tho and a suggetsion.

The question is, can you stop it displaying the answers once the quiz has been taken.

This is the suggestion, unfortunatly I don't the he PHP skills to do this tho.

How about a "Betting" option on it. For those people that have "Lesane's Store", a chance to bet points on if they are going to pass or fail the quiz. This would mean that only one quiz could be taken at once. However, they could double or lose all the points that they bet.

Cheers.

Harvey.

TWTCommish · #**458** 07-28-2002, 10:32 AM

I wish I had the time to right a betting add-on like that to hook up with Lesane's hack, but I don't. Not by a long shot.

As for the results page: just edit the "quiz_results" template (I think that's the name of it)...no PHP skills required...just HTML.

Vile · #**459** 07-30-2002, 08:07 AM

Ok, I got the quiz hack installed, and even added a quiz with all the questions. Question is, how do I post the quiz, or take it?
BTW, I did to to admin cp and approve it.

Thanks.

Howdy,

I searched through the posts and couldn't find my answer. I have a sample quiz which has ten questions. I user got 9/10 correct and it shows a score 0f "9".

How can I get the quiz to show either "9 our of 10 correct" or "90%" correct?

Thanks!
