Inferno Quiz v2.2

Port of: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=80780

However, the system has a pretty big back-end, it's possible i over-looked a bit or 2, so if you encounter errors/php errors please feel free to let me know in this thread and i'll try to get them fixed asap

v2.2 Updates: (Upgrade instructions inside ZIP)
- Several areas of code otptimized (query reduction)
- Uncached templates now cached
- Ability in main options to choose default usergroups to participate/view results to be auto filled in when adding quizzes.

Enjoy,

- Zero Tolerance

Reading through this thread made a bit leery of this one, but I installed and it works great for 3.6.4. All I've had to do thus far is change the image variable in quiz.php that Paul M. mentioned. Haven't noticed any other problems.

Thanks, as always, ZT.

bbcode is not going to 3.6.3 and 3.6.4 by me.

Thanks for your hard work. To make a loooooong story short, I am having trouble finding a quiz software that sends me email results with a peson's name and percentage score. Some do, but there are problems with pop-up blockers and so on. So I figured a vBulleting add-in might exist. So ...

Do you know of a vBulleting that has posted a quiz I can take with your software, to get an idea of how it works?

What is the cost to your program?

Finally, I owe a lot of favors to our Webmaster. Will this take much of his time to install?

Best,

Gregorio

One option that would be really great would be if each quiz question opened in a new screen -- just like in certification tests and most trivia games.

Right now, I have a quiz with 57 questions that just intimidates most visitors.

Also, the software prevents users from taking the quiz more than once. With certification quizzes -- my users want to take them again and again.

Is this to do with how long the questions/answers are? Help would be appreciated with this.

Pete:

I had the same problem and resolved it by raising the "Maximum Characters Per Private Message" option in vBulletin Private Messaging Options to 15,000 characters.

When you do that, this error starts appearing in your Apache log files:

Line 164 is:

global $templatecache, $db, $vbulletin->options, $style,$headinclude,$footer;

Just look for

PHP Code:

$vboptions[bburl] 


in the quiz.php and Replace with

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->options['bburl'] 


Voil?

For those of you that can't find the correction for the image issues, here is the post that solved those issues; at least for me. I believe it was only two instances of the $vboptions[bburl] that have to be replaced as instructed above to fix things right up. Easy enough.

And some of you have had reported issues with uploading some of the .xml files that have quizzes people have already submitted in this thread. I looked up the particular error I was getting using some of these and from what I can tell, you simply can't use the following three characters when creating questions. (Not sure if this applies to answers as well or not.) But don't use &, <, > when creating questions.

& (ampersand, must be encoded as &amp
< (left angle bracket, must be encoded as &lt
> (right angle bracket, must be encoded as &gt

Thanks to EduPerl over at Microsoft's MSDN forums for the information.

I would like to attach the quiz I made with all 50 U.S. capitals here, but I'm currently having issues getting it to allow me to download the .xml file once it has created it. It simply wants me to continue to log in over and over into the admin panel. I'll see if I can solve my own problem and edit this post later to include the quiz.

OK, found the answer to that problem in the thread as well. Amazing what one can accomplish with a little elbow grease.

Thanks again to everyone that has contributed to this wonderful mod. I truly hope ZeroT can find his way back and created an updated version of this mod. My forum members love this.

Thanks man! I had implemented this fix incorrectly and was very confused.

Can someone leave a functioning version for 3.6.4 to me?

Thank you

Ok, I get that global error thing when trying to import a quiz. I have two questions though.

1. By removing this global, does it make it so that I can't import quizzes? (Not that I'll really be doing it that much anyway, but meh.)

2. What line(s) of code do I need to remove to remove the global?

I am running vBulletin v3.6.4 and Inferno Quiz v2.1.

Thanks in advance.
