well, the code doesnt look very clean in vB standards to me, it might not be optimized much, but the function should work.

you are also able to set which groups (groupid) or users (userid) allowed to edit answers (set in top part of the admin_quiz.php file).

[mtha]

more things to consider:

in ACP:
- display only questions for one quiz, if you have many quizes, and many questions in each, you dont want to display ALL questions for all quizes though.

- Add new question for THAT currently working quiz (preselect the current quiz)

I would also add a "start date" for a record, so people will know when some quiz start/end

or maybe adding two time stamp, one when you start the test, one when you finish the test. I'd like to keep this information for references

i am adding the timestamps for my own need


demo ...

[mtha]

$s_name = trim(addslashes($s_name));

$DB->query("update ".TABLE_PREFIX."quiz set s_name='{$s_name}',s_state={$s_state} where sid='{$quiz['sid']}'");

Zero, there's some part in admin_quiz.php using s_name, but this field doesnt exist in the table. need some clean up?

Very true - that is obsolete code, as the engine redirect function is called first - which after execution calls exit, stopping any other php from being processed, i'll make sure it's removed from v2, since it's useless.

Okay, i've finally got back on track and am ontop of things at the current moment - with that in mind i have started creating v2 of this system.

Planned Features

• Ability To Import/Export Quiz's Via ACP
  • The system will export data into .xml format, allowing distribution of the XML file to others to 'share' quiz's.
  • Current Status: Pending
• Quiz Results Moderation
  • Ability to edit/delete any submissions from members. Upon modification - user is notified of this and is shown the new results.
  • Current Status: Pending
• JS Detection
  • The system will attempt to detect if JS is activated before allowing a user to proceed to a timed quiz. (This will not be fool proof)
  • Current Status: Completed
• Part-Answer System
  • Text input answers will allow you to enable/disable the part answer system, this is recommended for 'one' (1) word answers. An example would be:
    Users Answer: it is london
    Actual Answer: London
    With 'Part-Answer' enabled on that question, the answer would be correct. This will allow more fluxuation, and correct a lot of answers which are not 'exact' but 'correct'.
  • Current Status: Completed
• User Quiz Submissions
  • You may specify which usergroups can submit their own quiz's
  • Administrators have to allow submissions before they show
  • Current Status: Pending
• Quiz Submission Spam Protection
  • Specify if a user can only submit 1 quiz every X hours, to prevent spam. (Only applies if usergroups are allowed to submit quiz's)
  • Current Status: Pending
• Quiz Descriptions
  • Displayed on the page before starting the quiz
  • Current Status: Completed
• Improved Visualization Of Questions Control
  • To cut down on long page displays - the system adds a expand/collapse system into all the quiz's, upon expanding the corresponding questions for that quiz appear, and vice versa.
  • Current Status: Completed
• Overall Leader Board Statistics & Individual Leader Board Statistics
  • Overall Leader Board - Shows top X users with best average score (Username,# Of Quiz's Taken,Average Score)
  • Individual Leader Board - Shows top X users with the best score for a specific quiz (Username,Score)
  • Current Status: Pending
• Use BBCode Within Quiz Questions
  • Enables admins to use bbcode formatting for quiz questions
  • Current Status: Completed

Hope to have this out very soon

It'd be great if administrator can format quiz questions too, so some important words in the question can be underlined, bolded, or colored somehow


It'd be great if you could consider adding quiz start_time and end_time in the result table too, so you can know when someone is taking the quiz (and when he finish it)
it's also a tool for admin to check if someone do the test unreasonably long or short.

[sql]
ALTER TABLE `quiz_results` ADD `r_start_time` INT( 10 ) NOT NULL;
ALTER TABLE `quiz_results` ADD `r_end_time` INT( 10 ) NOT NULL;
[/sql]

my cumtomized version is attached, (if you dont mind)
