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!

...go to this one...

http://www.yoursite.com/forums/admin...step=1&setid=X

"X" of course should be replaced by the templatesetid number. Of course, you'll need the attached file in place of the old one, too. Let me know if it works.

Thanks. Works great.

Just one thing... can you add a link to this in the first post? I had to run through 6 pages.

Thanks for a great hack, its work well

This hack DOES work great! But, my users are asking me if they can go back and look at their own quiz results to see what they got right or wrong. Is there any way to do this currently but I am missing it?

Thanks!

You have to Approve the quiz after you make it.

Click on the Approve button on the left hand side, right below where you had to click the "Add" quiz.

Any ideas?

TWTCommish · #**470** 08-04-2002, 08:52 PM

No, you did not follow the instructions file exactly. Try again.

Methinks you missed the step about "confirming" the new options on the vBulletin Options page after installation.

ryancooper · #**471** 08-04-2002, 09:48 PM

Now All i get is a blank page? But you were correct I did miss that part (Opps)
