Nice looking hack.
Can I make a few suggestions (hope they haven't already been made)?

Have a couple of text entry boxes which you can put some HTML into. Header HTML is displayed before the competition questions and Footer HTML displayed afterwards.
This would allow the addition of information about competition sponsors, images of prizes, links to competition rules etc.

Set the number of winners. Sometimes we have 5 winners, for example.

Have an option to pick a winner/winners at random upon close of the competition.
ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT $number_of_winners, perhaps, if you want to do it from the database. And display the names of the winners instead of the entry form.

Have an option for confimation that the entree is of a minimum age. (Or could you use a normal question for this?)

Have a marketing opt-in. Text of what the entrees are signing up for and a tick box which they tick to opt in (or opt out) of a marketing list. Then an option to output the details of the opt-in-ees to a spreadsheet which you can then send to the competition sponsors.

Thank you for your consideration

no comment, I would like to see functionality more than advertising

. btw, you can always add these information in the templates, it doesnt require changing in the quiz.

seems like the author will have a complicated statistic page.
I would call this "five top scores" rather than winner

then you can pick them out, and call them whatever you want later, for specific purpose, not for general puclic purpose.

:> advertising/sponsor problem again, I am not very much interested in this, but it's up to the author to decide.

I think, an add-on or optional for this (and html advertise above) would be better than including in the main script.

@ mtha - Yeah, i was thinking of categories, i'll most likely add them into v2

@ SpinBall - Well in v2 you'll be able to use BBCode for questions, so you could insert a bbcode for the sponser, then the question, upto you really. Also there will be several leader board, an overall one on the main page, one for each category (if i add it in v2) and one for each specific quiz. I'll also be adding in User Quiz Stats, which shows the users quix statistics in general, and branches off to see specific stats for any quiz's they have taken

The marketing options seem a little un-required really, the initial idea of this addon is for fun, since i know millions of people just love to take random quiz's.

Looking good there, ZT

ecfcgraham · #88 05-18-2005, 06:48 PM

Great hack, installed.

Paul M · #89 05-18-2005, 11:02 PM

Thanks for the update.

Speaking from my POV, these are more important to me.

User Quiz Submissions
Quiz Results Moderation

While these are less important.

Quiz Categories
Quiz Submission Spam Protection
Overall Leader Board Statistics & Individual Leader Board Statistics

I'm sure others will disagree though

Well everyone will probably like different aspects of features more than others, just a question of preference, but i believe v2 will be a lot better overall for everyone
