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).
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!

Once I finish off a paid job I am working on , I will go thru and finish the quiz up (have a few little things to change but it is working fully as of now)
Mainly you just have to remember when doing these, is changing the calls in php, and then mass replacing in templates as well.
Thanks for offering to make the modifications for all of us! If possible, can you include some relatively detailed instructions (e.g. eith regard to the templates, etc.) for amateurs like me? (rather than us bombarding you with requests and questions, etc.)
insantus... no pressuure here (just curious)... any sort of idea of how long it may be before you may have this ready to roll? Thanks!!! We appreciate it.
I'm still looking at updating this for vB 3 sometime soon. At least for the user side. It could be a month or two, though, as I can't yet justify putting so much free time into such a project. I do plan to rewrite it, though.
Not necessarily. But I do think he's underestimating just what the port involves. He says it's just a matter of search-and-replace, but when I re-wrote vB Glossary to work with vB 3, it was more than that. Certain functions need to be renamed...others are flat-out gone. Navbars are constructed differently. Etc.
If he wants to release his own version, he can. If and when I do it, I'll do it by devoting the time to it that it deserves, to ensure that it meets the high standards of the first one.
