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:

• Main Quiz Page
• Quiz Display
• Quiz Category Display
• Quiz Question Display
• Quiz Results Page
• ADMIN: Quiz Options/Navigation
• ADMIN: Add Quiz
• ADMIN: Add Questions
• ADMIN: Delete Quiz
• ADMIN: Modify Question
• ADMIN: Quiz Settings

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!

I have just one problem. http://forums.lotronline.com/quiz.php the table is huuuuuuge. Something up with the template?

[TWTCommish]

The problem appears to be your header: you're missing a closing table row and table tag. I'm not sure which tags it is specifically, but it looks like your header template ends without a closing </tr> or </table> tag...which would be okay, except it doesn't end with an opening <td> tag, either.

[Sigon]

Whaaaaaat?

[bandersen]

I still get this error:

Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in ....../forums/upload/quiz.php on line 350

(By now I have only Default style installed)

[Sigon]

I thinked I fixed the missing thing but still no go

[TWTCommish]

Sigon: just what I said, dude. Look at the HTML of the main quiz page...I'm not sure how to fix it exactly, but I'm 99% sure the main quiz page HTML is kosher.

bandersen: I'm workin' on it. In the meantime, though, can you tell me what version of PHP you're running?

[Sigon]

I gotcha mate. I am gonna install that template again and see what happens

[Sigon]

TWT I re did all the templates and nada

[bandersen]

PHP v 3 and something..... moving to 4.1.2 soon.

[TWTCommish]

Sigon: I'm sorry man, I'm 99% sure that it's one of your templates that's causing the conflict. I've tested mine on fresh vB installations and on other's vBs and they work fine. I looked at your header HTML and there's definitely some missing or misplaced tags.

bandersen: I'm not sure if this is exactly compatible with a version of PHP that early or not. You might have to ditch all instances of the $HTTP_POST_VARS[] array.
