The idea is that there will eventually be a community of people that create and share their quizes, therefore increasing the amount available for others to import onto their site. Obviously this all depends on how well the mod is received.

There was a minor issue with the Import Quiz functionality, I have uploaded an updated package in the mod section (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1650). In addition, I have made available an SMF Quiz Category addon to this mod which will install some default categories, along with images. This is available from the SMF Modding site.

The nearest thing it has at the moment is the concept of a "Quiz League". You can create a Quiz League to run for a set duration and allow people to answer questions in it every x days. It will then pick random questions from all the quizes you have installed. Although not exactly what you are asking for it may suffice? If not, please post a request on the SMFModding site.

Thanks

Holy guacamole!!

This is a fantastic module and it actually works - congratulations!

The only thing missing is when a user adds their own quiz the moderator/administrator must approve it and there is no notice sent.

Beyond that small item this is a 5 star module.

Thank you for sharing it with us...

I assume you hadn't already played the quiz over the maximum times? This error could also occur if the returned XML is invalid (it retrieves the quiz information and questions that way).

I could look into this further but would need a login to your forum and the quiz you were having problems with.

It should do this, so if it isn't working then it is a bug. Did you get any error in your smf log at the same time?

I only had time to work on it for one version. As most people will be moving to SMF 2 in the future it seemed natural to choose that verison now, rather than create it for 1.x and then having to migrate it to 2.x. Also, my own forum is running 2.x

Sorry.

Correct - why spend time on a version that will be replaced with 2.0.  I'm using smf 2.0 in production web sites - it would be foolish of me to waste my time too on an old version that will be replaced.

2.0 is doing just fine folks.

You don't have PHP 5 installed I suppose? If you observe the readme PHP 5 is a prerequisite.

I had issues uploading the mod with all the quiz/category images on the SMF site - it seemed to be a timeout issue due to its size. Therefore I have created a separate add-on mod that will install a load of images for you, along with some default categories. Please visit the following for more information:

I don't think you realise the effort it would take to provide a version for what will effectively be a superseded version of the SMF forum software. The main challenge is around keeping two versions of data access functions, as SMF2 uses a completely different access mechanism. And the quiz uses a lot of database access due to its nature, it isn't simply making a few interface changes that can quickly be fitted to work with various SMF versions.

Ontop of that, many changes would require duplicate effort. It has taken me months to develop this mod, I do not have the time nor the appetite to spend a few more months getting it to work with the older version, then doubling effort required to make many alterations and additional functionality going forward.

Bear in mind this is something I am doing in my spare time. I have a full time job along with a family, so I can't dedicate all my time to it!

I am glad there is a lot of interest in the mod for previous versions and I understand the argument for people not wishing to move to SMF2 until there is a final release. I have SMF2 running on a site that has many thousands of visitors a day and it has been performing fine, but that isn't to suggest people that are uncomfortable with pre-release software should take the plunge. I am merely stating the fact that the software is stable enough for many people to be using it, so this is the version I am targetting. When you get to the stage where you are comfortable migrating to SMF2 you will have access to this mod too.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Thanks for donating your time and whatever you want to work on is fine with me, at least.  I pay folks to do work for me all the time - if there are enough folks here who want something outside a donated module then they can pool a few bucks and pay for it.

will not upgrade to 2.0

What do you mean by saying "whatever". If you don't care to provide a serious reply you better don't reply at all rather than wasting your reader's time with these sort of phrases.

What, ever?? Surely the modifications that you do have will eventually be ported to 2.x?

You did not read what I said, I posted "what, ever" notice the comma and space! So, I was asking if you mean't you would not be upgrading "ever". That was a serious reply, perhaps you should read more carefully!

I have spent a lot of time on this mod, I have tried to be as helpful as possible, I don't understand why you would think I would not be helpful.

I learned a long time ago that you get no respect with giving things away.  The more you charge the more folks appreciate what they are buying.  Ignore the folks who b-itch and moan when they are beggars - kind of like US citizens who pay no taxes and complain and complain.

I'm sure there are many folks who appreciate your efforts (they never speak up) and for those that don't (they cry the loudest) screw them....

So I put in a lot of effort to make it available for others and now I have had a lot of ungrateful comments. Hey, I wasn't expecting gratitude, but not some of the moaning I have seen. However, I have had some nice comments too that has made it seem worthwhile.

I run about 150 web sites using Drupal - all freebies but make about $1 a day per web site in AdSense.  I'm now getting into chat rooms and will charge $5 per year for someone to join (basic entry level) - all the folks who snivel and cause all kinds of problems are kept out - the freeloaders.

Once I get up and running I donate to the folks who help me - did it for Drupal and will do so here too.

The best way to see what error is actually being returned is to enter the following address

http://<your board address>/Sources/SMFQuizStart.php?id_quiz=1

This should return XML for the quiz with the id specified. I am guessing there is an error on yours for some reason, going to this page should return some kind of error. Let me know.

At the moment I don't understand why these tables get created fine in any install I have done and many other people's installations, but on a few they don't. I am going to have a look at this more when I get some free time and try to create a separate script to fix the issue for those that get it.

I got the same error.
The file is included in SMF 2 RC1

I know there will be a few issues with getting the mod working with other languages. I am happy to spend time on getting it working with other languages, but will obviously need assistance from people that want this.

At the moment I am not sure whether playing the quiz will work with all language specific characters, plus I am pretty sure there are a few admin functions that have a hard coded dependancy on the POST action being in English. There may also be other issues, but I need you and others to help find these issues.

Hopefully, once we have got over the initial pain the mod can be truely multi-lingual.

Right now it cuts off after the first Thai-letter, which suggests that it might not be that difficult to fix.

Which file should I look into?  I took a peak at $questionText in SMFQuizAdmin.php, but I am not sure if I am on the right track?  ???

Firstly, I would suggest having this discussion on the SMF Modding site, as there have been a few posts relating to other languages on there. Secondly, I would need to know a little more detail. So, at what point is it cutting off after the first letter? What were you trying to do at the time, etc?

Actually, I researched the PHP version prior to installing the modification.  My host uses PHP version: 5.1.6-3.7 on the plans that I have.  I will double check with them today to make certain when I have time to get on the phone.


Update:
Everything seems to be working fine.  I've gone through all the tabs and made changes and no more errors have pulled.  I'll just chalk it up to the Moon and Earth being in the correct alignment!  :D

A suggestion for 1.1.8's......Install 2.0, with just the Quiz mod.

I think once you try 2.0, 1.1.8 is going to seem...'old'.

And then you'll be wanting those 1.1.8 mods to get ported to 2.0..... :o

You may want to read this topic

http://www.smfmodding.com/index.php?issue=43.0

For it to work with another lanugage you need to create the three language files SMFQuiz, SMFQuizAdmin and SMFQuizCommon for your language. You then need to put the following into your index.<language> file.

//Begin SMFQuiz
$txt['SMFQuiz'] = 'Quiz';
//End SMFQuiz

And you will then need to clear out the file cache in order for those to take effect.

As I have mentioned, I have it working using other languages without actually being in another language if you know what I mean. So, enabling French on my board and making the language changes but using English. I have not tested with an actual other language (as I only speak English), so I cannot guarantee it will work 100% perfectly, but would be happy to assist if there are any issues.

the problem is not to add the code to other than english language files
the problem is that you have the allready played error message in every quiz if you have other than English language selected from your forum profile.

please try to your forum to choose French or German (i tried with German) as forum language
then try to play whatever quiz you normally could play
you`ll see the "allready played ......" error message ...
then select English language from your profile, try again and you will play just fine

I haven't tested it with other themes or languages. I know some people have it working with other themes and languages though.

with other languages, how ?

Yes, please refer to my reply on the smfmodding site.

Thanks

the problem is not to add the code to other than english language files
the problem is that you have the allready played error message in every quiz if you have other than English language selected from your forum profile.

please try to your forum to choose French or German (i tried with German) as forum language
then try to play whatever quiz you normally could play
you`ll see the "allready played ......" error message ...
then select English language from your profile, try again and you will play just fine

I just did it this VERY second. I changed to French and it worked fine. As I explained in my reply to you on smfmodding, I haven't set it up to work with German, ONLY French. And I believe the reason why it isn't working on your forum is that you haven't cleared out the file cache? And if you have, perhaps you should enter the URL I suggested so you can see the error message.

I will again insert and will test it times with me. Certainly again with the German language together not to work. I will then provide times German files. Even if it brings probably nothing.

No, it removed in each language file concerned only once and with index.php replaced. At least the Quiz Mod goes now again. Some things still are on English, but I find also still.

Hello, I just installed the lastest Quiz Mod and must say you have made some HUGE Impovements....Great Job!

It installed clean and seems to work great thus far but I do have one error in my error log.

2: curl_setopt() [<a href='function.curl-setopt'>function.curl-setopt</a>]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set
File: /home/xxxxxx/public_html/Sources/SMFQuizLoad.php
Line: 112

Also, on the Quiz Importer on my site it's a white background with white fonts, I did see the Themes/default/css/quiz_css/quiz.css file is that the correct file for the Importer Section in the Admin or just for the Quiz itself? Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.

Hopefully if that item in your log isn't affecting anything then it is safe to ignore. I can't say I know the reason off the top of my head but will look into it.

With regard to the quiz importer, it uses your forum's css for the most part. I have checked it on a number of forums and themes and it works fine. I can only assume it is something with your forum styling? The quiz.css is for the actual playing of the quiz.

Let me know if you continue having problems with the above and if you give me a login perhaps I can look in more detail.

Cheers

I learned a long time ago that you get no respect with giving things away.

Tell me about it. I wrote this mod for my forum and then thought "oh, other people might like this too". So I put in a lot of effort to make it available for others and now I have had a lot of ungrateful comments. Hey, I wasn't expecting gratitude, but not some of the moaning I have seen. However, I have had some nice comments too that has made it seem worthwhile.

I am speaking up to say THANK YOU! I am working my way through the install for my own site, but have played at SMFModding and it is pure genius.

I just uploaded Quiz 1.0.7 to my SMF 2.0RC1-1 and it installed without a hitch, but when i try to go to the Admin Panel for the Quiz mod I get this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /home/midev0/public_html/thecommentzone/forum/Sources/SMFQuizAdmin.php on line 2303

What would the fix be for this?

Check your version of PHP, it requires 5

This particular issue was due to the use of "Votre navigateur n\'est pas compatible!" in the language file. The \' gets translated to ' in the script and this causes a javascript error.

S_M_F_ Modding found the problem in the language file SMFQuiz.yourlang.php

The apostrophe was located in the javascript language strings below. Make sur you don't have anything like it in this location.

// Language text located in javascript
$txt['SMFQuiz_Javascript'] = array(
    'QuizMaximum' => 'Limite de tentatives atteinte pour ce Quiz',
    'QuizLeagueMaximum' =>'Vous avez atteint votre limite de jeu dans ce tour pour cette League. Veuillez attendre le début du prochain tour.',
    'BrowserBroke' => 'Votre navigateur nest pas compatible!',
    'ProblemGettingQuestions' => 'Un probleme est apparu pour afficher cette question, essayez a nouveau...',
    'Timeout' => 'limite de temps dépassé',
    'NoQuizSpecified' => 'Aucun Quiz ou League Spécifié',

    'MustBeLoggedIn' => 'Vous devez vous identifier pour jouer a ce quiz',

Anything like apostrophes or accents. I can't read your language so I wouldn't tell what is wrong but maybe you should leave everything in English in this portion of code.

Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: chadon on October 02, 2009, 05:20:51 PM
S_M_F_Modding found the problem on my forum and it was due to a conflict with two other mods. One is "auto email inactive users" and the other one was probably an old mod that left some code after it was removed in sources/Subs.php
You can try to uninstall the email inactive users mod if you have it or all other mods one by one to try to find the conflict. Or wait for S_M_F_Modding to see if he has a better idea. :)
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: quiz_modder on October 02, 2009, 05:37:57 PM
OK, firstly follow the steps in the FAQ to see if you can get a more detailed answer. In particular any error messages returned instead of the XML. This is how I found out there was an error with an old mod on chadon's subs.php file.

http://www.smfmodding.com/index.php?topic=416.0

Secondly, if the quiz popup is simply failing check the javascript error log for your browser to see if it gives you any details on potential issues. One of the problems I identified in chadon's installation was that the language specific entries caused the javascript to fail due to having the ' character output in a string.

If you are still having problems you will need to give me admin and FTP access to whatever test forum you have for me to be able to investigate further when I get some free time.

Cheers

To translate this you will need to modify the english text in QuizClient.js

Alignment of the text will probably need to be done in there as well. Look into the JQuery script that says $("#firstQuestionSpan").html(quizCompleteDivOutput);

I am not sure why yours won't allow you to do this, I guess it is permissions on your host? I suppose you could do this manually after the install.

I removed this from the installScript.php to not chmod permissions and all is working ok now :)


I removed the php to chmod them files and install worked when running manually, I then chmodd them files and now all works ok and quizes can be played and installed.


Is it possible to show the games in catergeries at the top? Has mine are all shown in New Quizes & Popular Quizes.....


Can a catergories section be added so all quizes are in cats? Hope your able to help and what an excellent mod this is, just need a way add catergries to page so people can view each cat and find quizes.

For an example like the games arcade where all the games are shown in cats with thumbnails ?


Hope this helps, ust so its easyier for members to get to quizes by going to catorgries ( Animal Quizes, Cartoons Quizes, TV Quizez ) etc etc, Has mine are just showing all in NEW QUIZES?

Sorry, that can't be done at the moment with the mod the way it is. How would that work when you have 500+ quizzes anyway? I guess you could put in some paging, but then the main page would start to look overcrowded wouldn't it?

I don't know what version you installed, but on 1.0.8 beta 2 there is a "Random Unplayed Quizzes" block at the top which lists some random quizzes the user hasn't played, so this can help a little.

It's an idea and I will think about it next time I get some free time to work on the mod.

Cheers
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: meehan09 on October 03, 2009, 09:41:40 AM
what i am meaning is a block under the Quiz Search


Called Catorgries


Then have your guizes save to them cats and then people can select the cats off different quizes like arcade games.

Can this be added?, Has the guizes save into cats its just showing the cats in a block and when clicked goes to page with them games from that cat?


Thanks you again and i hope this can be added or will be added to the near future.

The quizzes are already saved off to categories of your choosing. I assume you just want the categories list on the main page rather than in a separate tab?

I love this mod! However, I cannot figure a couple things out.

First, how do I assign permissions at the category level? Example, I have two categories, Just for Students and Just for Leaders. The students have no need (nor should they be allowed) to see the Just for Leaders category and the quizzes included in that category.

Second, how do I assign permissions at the quiz level? Example, In the Just for Leaders category, I have quizzes for New Leaders and Level One Leaders. A person who wishes to become a leader must complete the New Leader quizzes just be be a leader. Once they have completed the New Leader quizzes, they are moved from New Leader membergroup to Level One Leader Membergroup. At this point, they need to complete the Level One Quizzes to advance to a Level Two Leader. The New Leaders are not allowed to see the Level One Leader quizzes until they have completed the New Leader quizzes and have been moved to the Level One Leader membergroup.

I looked everywhere and could not find a way to set permissions in this fashion. I guess my question is, if this is not a default setting, how would I add the code to do this. I am still quite new to php and even though I have learned quite a lot thus far, I still do not quite understand everything. The permissions really confuse me and I am having a hard time figuring this out.

Please help.

Thank you,

Yes, I am still supporting the mod, although I don't have time to work at it at the moment. With regard to your questions, permissions have not been implemented other than to simply allow the mod to be used ot not. If you post a request on the http://www.smfmodding.com site I will improve it when I get some time.

Not that I've seen.  That would bee a cool mod though.  Instead of membergroups being requestable or paid or free to join, it would be cool to have a membergroup function that allowed members to take a test to figure out if they got into a group.

It does work, but with some issues (that can be overcome easily). Also there are some minor presentation problems with the new curve theme.

I haven't had time to look into the changes for the latest SMF version due to work commitments. If anyone has coding experience and wants to help out, feel free to contact me.

Also, I double checked and I emulated RC2 in order to allow the install on RC3.

Hello !!!

I managed to fix my problem having a look a the support topic of SMF.
First I created a SMFQuiz.french-utf8.php file in themes/default/languages
then I added a few lines of codes in a file (can't remember where, it's in the support topic of SMF).

Therefore we managed to play with no problem  ;D and I even uploaded my quiz (it's in french, don't know if anyone will be interested though  :-\).

So I decided to translate the file I had created ( SMFQuiz.french-utf8.php ) in french and I started creating leagues.
And know, I don't know why, my quiz are not loading  :-[

here is the xml
http://forumdediscussion.org/Sources/SMFQuizStart.php?id_quiz=3

looks ok though, can you help on this ?
another info : if I use english as language it works ok.
I translated SMFQuiz, SMFQuizAdmin and SMFQuizCommon, still not working.

Both of my forums are now RC3, but the mod was working correctly on RC2 as well.  Go to the author's site and download the package there.  I'm pretty sure it is still newer than the one here.

But when I try to save it, I get this error:

QuoteRequest object error 'ASP 0104 : 80004005'

Operation not Allowed

/include/system.asp, line 226

Can you tell me what that means?  And what do you mean by 'emulate'?  How do you do that...

Thanks!

EDIT:  Not to worry, I have solved this now by trial and error - less error and more taking a deep breath and modifying file outside of server  :)  I now have it up and running.

I am amused. :)   I downloaded 1.07 yesterday for use on an RC4 board...   I got 2 errors in files because of minor differences in code, but that's par for the course...     unfortunately, the database script for 1.07 was completely screwy and I was ready to give up (and make a note to the customization team to have a word... lol)

then I come back today and find the new version... 
Installed with no problems. Database edits were performed correctly, file edits all went smoothly, even with about 15 other mods installed.
The interface looks nice.

Issues:
New Quiz Page, New Categories Page, New Questions Page
-- No submit button... so no way to add Quizzes, Categories or Questions
-- the Image URL filed is a dropdown with no value and no way to type in a URL for an image.

New Question Page
-- If I select Multiple Choice, there is no way for me to define the choices.

Quiz Importer Page
-- I get an error when I go to this page -- Unable to open /MYSITE/Themes/default/images/quiz_images/Quizes/



Gripes:
-- I'd like to see tooltips describing the fields and what they do (use the standard SMF help [?] feature for fields)
i.e. what is "state" in the league setup? What does "Show answers" checkbox actually mean?
-- This is an involved mod. In addition to the tooltip help, I'd like to see an actual help section. Linking to the FAQ videos for the package readme is cute, but does not help when my staff does not have access to the package manager, but still have to admin the quiz section.

I hope "amused" is a good thing ;)

Yes, 1.0.7 was never intended for RC4 it only worked on RC1 and the install script I had based on another mod, probably not the best way to do things. So, the latest version uses a more standard installation, I am glad it appeared to go smoothly.

Going back to your issues, I am surprised with some of them:

No submit button - I really don't understand this. I and a number of people have the quiz installed and this isn't an issue. If you don't mind I would appreciate it if you could describe this in more detail for me.

Image Url - This is a file upload and the dropdown will take an image from the folder where files are uploaded. If there are no images there it won't have anything in it. Are you saying the upload isn't available for you?

Multiple Choice - Again, not a problem on my installation and many others. I am guessing there is an issue somewhere, it would help to see this somewhere if possible?

Quiz Importer - Does that folder exist? It should be created when the mod is installed. If not, did you not get an error related to this on install anywhere?

Finally, did you install the category post installation mod (available from http://www.smfmodding.com) as this provides a set number of default categories and their images post install. This is highly recommended but obviously doesn't address what you mention above.

Thanks for the input and I hope to be able to resolve the issues for you. And yes, I know there are a number of improvements that could be made :)

Post by: Kindred on December 22, 2010, 07:55:54 AM
Nope, no errors on installation with 1.08. I was quite pleased (and yes, amused is a good thing) with the installation.

No upload function that I can see.
(no, I did not install the category mod)

Interestingly, from FF4, at home, I get more info
the same error as the importer page... that the directory can't be opened.
When I use the file manager from Cpanel, It looks like there is no diretory... BUT I can't create it either
Sorry the file or folder: Quizes already exists in /SITE/Themes/default/images/quiz_images
Using that, I looked....   when the mod created, it did not create empty folders for Quizes and Questions... it created two 0 byte files...

I deleted the 0 byte files, created the directories...  and *LO* the missing stuff appeared! Including the save and upload....
it looks like the system error in the upload function not finding the directory kills the rest of the page. from the dropdown (the error gets displayed IN the dropdown box)

Yes, it does rely on the folder existing, I should probably handle that more gracefully. So are things now working as expected? Not sure why it created files rather than folders for you though?
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: Kindred on December 22, 2010, 09:29:05 AM
it's a known problem on some servers with SMF mods, the system creates a 0 byte file instead of an empty folder...   
it's very odd and I have no explanation as to why.

I have not added any quizzes yet (just confirmed that it looks like I can!) but it SEEMS to be working correctly now. :)

so, from what I have seen so far (now that issues are dealt with)
My suggestions are: (and note: these are suggestions, not demands. :P )


-- I'd like to see tooltips describing the fields and what they do (use the standard SMF help [?] feature for fields)

-- Allow the upload directory for images to be specified in mod settings...   i.e. I would like to use one of my pre-existing directories to pick images from rather than copying all images into two more folders

Yes, I put some tooltips in the settings section but not on all sections as I thought they were self explanatory. If I get time I will consider putting them elsewhere.

Not entirely sure I understand the second part of this paragraph but agree there could be a designated help section.

re: the help section - well, on my forum, we have a large staff. I have given the staff access to admin the quizzes.
However, the only place where the "help/demo videos" are displayed in in the mod's readme which is only displayed in the package manager.  None of the staff have access to the package manager to see the videos. :)

re:tooltips - yeah...   I've done the exact same thing...    "Those fields are self-explanatory, aren't they?" and then I get some idiot (like me, LOL!) who comes and says, "huh? I'm not sure what the field actually means"
The problem with working with something you developed is that you developed it! :)  you *KNOW* what everything is supposed to be doing.   It took me years of tech writing to figure out that every detail should be documented because you'll always find someone who doesn't get that one detail which you didn't document.  O:)

All very good points. Thing is a week ago was the first time I looked at this mod again after over a year due to work time constraints. I hadn't had as many people upload their own quizzes to the site as I had hoped (with the exception of a couple of people) and felt like I was doing all the work, therefore didn't feel as enthused as I originally felt after putting in about 1/2 years worth of effort into it. I had a few guys ask me to get it working with RC4 and finally had a few hours to spare and thought I would help them out. I am not sure how much time I will have going forward to make more changes, but I might try and find a few hours here and there depending on how many people take an interest in the mod.

Thanks again

I found a problem on installation but I'm pretty sure I know a fix.

Those problem relates to a previous problem by Kindred.

My theme directory is named themes not Themes

on install, it's looking for the /Themes directory, which of course will not be found.

Ok here is the problem
modification.xml (line 679):
<file name="$themes_dir/default/languages/Help.english.php">
Should be:
<file name="$themedir/languages/Help.english.php">

Line 636:
<file name="$themes_dir/default/languages/ManageScheduledTasks.english.php">
Should be:
<file name="$themedir/languages/ManageScheduledTasks.english.php">

Line 649:
<file name="$themes_dir/default/languages/Modifications.english.php">
Should be:
<file name="$themedir/languages/Modifications.english.php">

I've done a fix in the modification.xml file myself, the entire package with the fixes is attached.

I'm also have a problem with no submit button or anything when I want to add a quiz. A screenshot of that is also attached.

EDIT: Found a fix for me. I just created a directory under the root folder named Themes and apparently it fixed itself.

Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: Kindred on December 23, 2010, 10:32:57 PM
actually, with a standard SMF install, the directory SHOULD be "Themes" (with the capital T)

Dear Admin,

I have been watching your mod for years, today when i noticed the mod is updated. Instantly i tried downloading and installed in my forum.

Installation went smooth, all video and details in the site were perfectly matched.

As proposed, with in few minutes, i have got around 25 quizes imported through the social platform you have designed within 1 category. Includes more than 250 questions and 1000 answers.

My forum is ready for the quiz now with 22,000 users. Thanks for the excellent work.

I have been using some third party quiz application, i will remove it by this week after uploading all our questions and quizes to this excellent mod.

Sure we will be interested to donate or help for your development of this excellent social quiz mod.  8)

quiz import is built into the new version.



quiz_modder,
A suggestion from my users (who love this and have started making some quizzes which I will submit when they are up-to-par)

make open answers non-case specific. i.e. netherlands should be the same as Netherlands, especially when typing in less than 20 seconds.



Question:
If someone disputes an answer (valid dispute), can I give them points for the answer?
There are a number of quizses that I imported which have cut-off questions or typos in the answers....

Some mod that you installed AFTER SMF Quiz has made a change to the same file as SMF Quiz, and now the SMF Quiz uninstaller can't find the exact spot to "un-edit" because it's now different.

All you need to do is to uninstall the OTHER mod first, then uninstall SMF Quiz, and then reinstall your other mod.

if you uninstalled and then did not remove the 2nd install edits then the new install would place you in the same position as before :/

Does anyone know where to get the quizes from now the 'SMFModding' site has closed?

Just created a new site and want them on it, I'll see if I can import these via the database as I have another site that has them on it.

If I'm successful I'll reply here
Title: Re: SMF Quiz

OK an update:

I managed to import my database tables from my other site into the new site then just copied the images fromn one to the other also, now all the quizes are working ok.

okay the thing is, when I barely have any mods installed, with this as one of them, it works. I can create a quiz. but when I go take a quiz, I get an error (Pop up)

then I go install more mods and suddenly it doesn't work anymore.

If I change the following, it works without problems (at present) with me.

SMFQuizAdmin.php
Search
function ParseMessage($message, $quiztitle, $total_seconds, $total_points, $top_time, $top_points, $quizImage, $scripturl, $id_quiz, $old_member_name) {

global $user_settings;

return $message;
}

function ParseLeagueMessage($message, $quizLeagueName, $oldPosition, $newPosition, $positionMovement, $id_quiz_league) {

$message = str_replace("{quiz_league_link}", $scripturl . '?action=SMFQuiz;sa=quizleagues;id=' . $id_quiz_league, $message);
return $message;
}


Replace with

global $user_settings, $scripturl;

Hello

I need help with the SMF Quiz.

I have already install the Quiz on my Board.

My SMF Version is: Powered by SMF 2.0 RC5 | SMF © 2006–2010, Simple Machines LLC
Extended by PortaMx v1.0 RC4 | PortaMx © 2008-2011 by PortaMx corp.

When I will start the Quiz:

QuoteAn unexpected parser error has occurred while retrieving data from the server. Please contact the server administrator and inform them of this error.

By the install of the Quiz came one Error: Language - My Forum runs on German.UTF8.
I think the Quiz have a problem with that?

Sorry for my bad English.

Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: M50Freak on October 04, 2011, 03:11:10 AM
Hallo


Das Problem ist:

Ich hab mir das SMF Quiz installiert. (Bei mir im Forum soll bald ein Gewinnspiel laufen mit Sachpreisen vom Sponsor)

So das Installieren des Quiz war ja ganz einfach/ ebenso das erstellen.

Zum Testen habe ich mir ein Testquiz eröffnet, jedoch wenn ich das Quiz Starten will kommt der Fehler:

An unexpected parser error has occurred while retrieving data from the server. Please contact the server administrator and inform them of this error.

So im Fehlerprotokoll steht:
http://mofaforum.net/XXXXXXXXXXXXXMEINSXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX: Undefined index: SMFQuizDatei: /var/www/MEINS/html/Sources/Subs.php
Zeile: 4194

Also solte ich mal dort in der Subs.php Zeile 4194 nachgucken;)

Aus Subs.php

//Begin SMFQuiz

4196.                ),

4198.            //End SMFQuiz
4199.           
4200.            'calendar' => array(
4201.                'title' => $txt['calendar'],

any pointers how to go about it.??
how to include a link at the results page of every quiz so that when the quiz is finished and the results screen comes up, there is a link for directing users to a particular thread which is present for that particular quiz.
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: Kindred on October 07, 2011, 03:09:30 PM
you would have to add a new database field to hold the associated discussion ID and then create a form field in the admin so that you could assign a discussion ID to a quiz and finally a call-out/display of that discussion ID as a link on the results page.

In all, not a minor task.

Unfortunately, taken in context to the post - no, it does not - he was asking for input from other modders to HELP with some requested additions to the mod, not giving permission to make those modifications or distribute it.

I know it sounds like I am being a hard-case here...  however. when it comes to copyright law, there is not a whole lot of leeway.

Until/Unless someone can get written permission from quiz_modder to take over the mod (or get him to release a statement that the mod is released under an Open Source license, like BSD) then we (on simplemachines.org) can not allow distribution of his mod by anyone else.

Believe me, this hurts me as much as anyone else. I like this mod. I use this mod. I want more quizzes for the mod.

I want more quizzes for the mod.

I tried to set up my test site as a base for the quizzes but unfortunately it seems that quiz_modder actually set up something on his server to allow people to access which is in part in the following lines

'SMFQuizAdmin.php'

"http://www.smfmodding.com/Sources/SMFQuizImporter.php?action=getImporterStats";

there are other lines that also refer to his site for uploading of files

$server  = 'www.smfmodding.com';
//$server  = 'localhost';
$port    = '80';
$uri     = '/Sources/SMFQuizUpload.php';
//$uri     = '/smf2/Sources/SMFQuizUpload.php';


All in all without the php files he put on his server so people can access the quizzes either to download or upload I cannot replicate the storage area he had.

I was quite willing to use my test site storage area for everyone to upload and download new and old quizzes alike (at no cost) as I have quite a bit of bandwidth that's not used.

I have used the package manager, on my live site, to create a packge for a quiz I have written, it saves the quiz in xml format,  but I am unable to import it into the test site to use it, so I'm not really sure what the function of the package manager is, unless I'm being thick and that could be an option ;).

Anyway unless someone can come up with those php files or create new ones were are basically stuffed.

everything works awesome except one thing.

unable to create any quiz by own. it gives an error:

Quote
An Error Has Occurred!
Wrong value type sent to the database. Integer expected. (id_category)

its so annoying for me as well as users. so please guide me what to do.

thank you.

I have the same problem and cannot find a solution

I'm guessing that the error is the result of there being no option to select the category when defining the question.

Any ideas anyone?

Wrong value type sent to the database. Integer expected. (id_category) is a result of not having a quiz made before you try and add questions. Took me a few hours to figure this one out myself  ;D

Until/Unless someone can get written permission from quiz_modder to take over the mod (or get him to release a statement that the mod is released under an Open Source license, like BSD) then we (on simplemachines.org) can not allow distribution of his mod by anyone else.

Apologies. I am not longer working on this mod.

If anyone wants to take it over from me you are more than welcome.

Thanks


I think the comment above by quiz_modder now opens that door Kindred

I was using this mod about a 18 months ago, excellent mod, I just had a problem with my forum and had to uninstall the mod..... The problem on my forum had NOTHING to do with this mod, my members enjoyed the mod...so did I, I think this could be one of the :BIG" Mods..... given time and support .... So I encourage anyone out there to carry on with the project, I unfortunately do not know how to write the code....

On another point, I have just managed to reinstall the mod, but have lost all my animate icons.... I see smfmodding has shut his site down, does anyone remember how to get the icons back .... I forget as Iinitially installed this mode over two years ago.


Thanks

Moin Zusammen,

Vielleicht kann mir hier einer helfen, irgentwie finde ich nix passendes. Habe den Mod install via Paketmanager. Er zeigte mir keine Fehler an. Das Quiz kann ich sehen, auf der Seite sowohl als auch im ACP. Gehe ich jetzt allerdings auf bearbeiten im ACP
wird mir die darauffolgende Seite nicht angezeigt, einfach nur weißes Bild, keine Fehlermeldung, nichts.
Habe dann Sprache(ACP) umgestellt, brachte auch nichts.
Habe im Language Ordner die 3 Englishen Dateien, habe die 3 Kopiert und als german dazu gesetzt, nüscht.
habe im Paketordner die Version des Boards geändert, auch nichts.
Langsam verzweifel ich hier :)

version; SMF 2.0.1
ezBoard
Theme: Rhusty White

Sollte dieses Problem schonmal wo behandelt worden sein, dann sry für diese erneute Anfrage :)

Dort habe ich alles noch in Englisch und nur den User Bereich in Deutsch. Da geht alles ohne Probleme.

Okay...

I tried to give this another go.  I still get the same error as originally reported here:  http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=293949.msg3179787#msg3179787

So...I tried Eclipse16V's fix here:  http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=293949.msg3140530#msg3140530

While that got me into the Admin area...I still get several error messages in the Admin Error Log.  That was trying to use the latest beta version of this mod 1.0.8, I beleive...on an SMF 2.0.1 board.

So...next, I tried to install the 1.07 version on the same board.  It parsed okay...I just had to make manual template changes to Subs.php and ScheduledTasks.php...no big deal.  Uh-oh!  Database error...telling me I have to upgrade.  Go to PHPMyAdmin and change the database table names...to 'smf_' prefixes...still no go!

For those of you running this quiz on your SMF 2.0.1 boards...How the heck did you do it????

I had the same error and the only way I could get rid of it was to edit 'SMFQuizAdmin.php' which is in the 'Sources' directory

Make a copy of the current file.

Find:
function ParseLeagueMessage($message, $quizLeagueName, $oldPosition, $newPosition, $positionMovement, $id_quiz_league) {

global $user_settings, $scripturl;

$message = str_replace("{quiz_league_name}", $quizLeagueName, $message);
$message = str_replace("{old_position}", $oldPosition, $message);
$message = str_replace("{new_position}", $newPosition, $message);
$message = str_replace("{position_movement}", $positionMovement, $message);
$message = str_replace("{quiz_league_link}", $scripturl . '?action=SMFQuiz;sa=quizleagues;id=' . $id_quiz_league, $message);
return $message;
}


Remove this code, save the file and clear out the cache and try to access the quiz admin again.

What I found was that the above code is identical in both the 'SMFQuizAdmin.php' and 'ScheduledTasks.php'
and my guess was that it would not be required twice, so removing it from the 'SMFQuizAdmin.php' seemed the logical choice.

I have seen no adverse effects after removing this code in the general working of the quiz or creating quizzes etc. I have not done a league clean up as I have disabled that function just incase the edit does affect it.

If you are likely to use the league part of the quiz you may want to speak to someone further to see if they can solve it.

Hope that helps

Ok, I'm trying to get this mod working again in 2.0.2.  Everything appears to work except that I am getting a "parser error" when trying to play any quiz.  I had this up and running back when the author was working with it quite a bit.  Now, his forum is down, and all traces of the fix are gone.  Can anyone help me trace this thing out, please?
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: Mr_Toad on January 20, 2012, 07:25:35 PM
As "booch_21", I am getting the "parser error", thus:
"An unexpected parser error has occurred while retrieving data from the server. Please contact the server administrator and inform them of this error."

Any help that anyone can give me would be much appreciated. I use SMF 2.0.1 with TorBlock, BadBehaviour and Forum Firewall (the theme is 'Fresh Looks').

Previous commentators refer to this error in the context of using language files other than English - but my site is English. Are there some 'english'-related files that need to be removed?

Tried uninstalling and installing, without success. The first test quiz that I made keeps re-appearing - apart from clearing the file cache can anyone direct me to the relevant places to 'clean' up the code it left behind (I searched for 'SMFQuiz' and so on)?

I guess I'll have to make a quiz page myself and just re-direct to it from the forum. Very disappointing because this problem seems to be just a small glitch.

This is not ideal, but at least I'm in the admin area.


My problem is different. After installing the quiz mod on my forum no part of the site can be accessed. All it brings is:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare scheduled_quiz_maintenance() (previously declared in /home/leadwblc/public_html/Sources/ScheduledTasks.php:393) in /home/leadwblc/public_html/Sources/ScheduledTasks.php  on line 1116./
I already tried those solution but none worked. I use version 2.02
I really need help as fast as possible.

Installed and created my own quiz, it's being tested by users now.
There are a couple of things in the error log, but nothing that prevents play so far.
I have a missing image but i can sort that tomorrow with my own creation.

I run 2.0.2 and the latest version of the quiz, which is a beta.

First thing you need to do is install the quiz even though you dont have any images or questions.

Then download the tables and images I have uploaded (13Mb) here  (http://www.rapidshare.com/files/511666311/Quiz_data___images.rar)

Once you have done that then go to your cPanel for your site, run 'phpMyadmin' and delete the 12 tables that start with the name smf_quiz.

Once you have done that, open the file 'create database tables for quiz.sql' in 'Notepad++' if you don't have it installed get it...it's free, and this will not add any formatting to the text either which is very important.

The copy the text, (CTRL+A).

Go to your database and click on 'SQL' at the top of the page and paste (CTRL+V)the text from the database file into the box. Once you have done that click on go....wait for a while until the text disappears then click on you database name to see if the tables have been installed. If yes then close 'cPanel'.

Now go to the location where your SMF site is installed go to
Quote/public_html/Themes/default/images/quiz_images
using the folders provided by me overite the existing 2 folders 'Questions' & Quizes'

Once you have done that go to you site and clear out the cache and your quiz should be safe to run.

I have tested this method on my test site and it worked twice so there should be no reason that I can think of that it wont work on yours.

As I'm not sure if the link I have provided for the files is allowed PM me if the staff delete it and I'll send the link that way.

hmm, all added to that file correctly.
Do you have any duplicate entries in your scheduled tasks section in your Admin area?

I'm puzzled. I'm no expert.

What about the edits to sourcedir/Admin.php? are there any duplicates there? (thinking about where you are getting the errors)
you could even try reuploading the file SMFQuizAdmin.php to your site? Not convinced about that one tho.

personally, i'd completely remove it, check all the files to make sure all the edits have been taken out.
Then i'd re-download and try again.

Something is off, but it's not affecting everyone, as i have installed it, and it is working fine.
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: Chalky on March 04, 2012, 05:15:58 AM
Thanks, I'll try removing and re-downloading first.
Upon uninstalling I get this message in red at the top of my screen:

"IMPORTANT NOTE: The database tables/entries are not uninstalled, as you may be going to perform an upgrade. If you are not planning on continuing with this mod, please remove these manually. A script may be provided at http://www.smfmodding.com to do this automatically if demand is high enough"

I have no idea how to manually remove database tables or entries  :-\
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: mrselnombre on March 04, 2012, 05:22:36 AM
I don't think it would install more entries to the database when you reinstall it, as the bits it needs would already be there.

BUT

I'm clueless with SQL, so hopefully someone else will know the quickest way to do it.

Otherwise I'd back up the database completely and go into PhpMyAdmin and delete entries manually, but this is risky if you don't know what you are doing, and I wouldn't advise it.

It's definately there as I have just downloaded it myself.

Once you have extracted the file you will end up with a folder called 'Quiz_data___images' inside that there another folder 'Quiz data & images' inside that folder is the sql file and the images folders to upload.

The only way to delete the database tables is from your cPanel or whatever it is you use the administer your domain. You should be able to backup your database via the options in Admin\Maintenance\Database...and choose the option 'Backup Database'. I have never done this as I use a program called 'Mysql Administrator' but at least you'll have a backup in case you do something wrong.

As long as you only tick the boxes to the smf_quiz tables, as I have said there are on 12 of them, and drop those then your not doing any harm to the rest of the site.

If you have access to your cPanel but don't know what your doing and you need help let me know...I cannot do anything to help you if you don't have access to cPanel.

1 question..
I don't really want to delete the quizzes I created this morning. Just because of the time it took to create them.

So could i save them and some how add them back in once I've installed this Sql info?

I exported my quiz sql from the database before dropping, so i can add back easily.

No problem glad I could help.

I had an idea that if you created another admin on the site and then installed the quiz with that account it would use that name as the creator of the quiz.

I created a user called 'Quizmaster' and created a quiz with that account and it worked ok....but I'm not sure about doing it with the tables I have shared.

I'll have a mess around by re-installing it again on the test site with another admin name and see if it works...watch this space  ;)

Do you know how i can change creator of all the quizzes in the sql file?


Ok I have tried and tested some theories and it seems that the default creator of the quizzes is 'User 1' if I change the member id's in the database and reverse them i.e Quizmaster=1 and Dave=2 then it shows as 'Quizmaster' but as a soon as I revert back to the correct id's it revert the creator to 'Dave' again. As you know the installer username of the site is 'User 1'

This means that the settings for this are determined within the code of the files for the quiz when it's installed. I don't know how to or even if it's worth the hassle of trying to change it. Sorry I can't help any more than that

I was thinking about running a sql query to just change the identity of the creator of all the quizzes in the sql file you had.
I don't mind being the creator of future quizzes. It would just be fun to join in on the playing on the new ones we have.

I created a new user called Quiz Master then I did this
UPDATE `quiz` SET `creator_id` = '4067' WHERE `quiz`.`creator_id` =1
and it worked

(i have a different system for my databases hence table names (mine don't have smf_)

ok thanks for that...I ran

UPDATE `smf_quiz` SET `creator_id` = '12' WHERE `creator_id` =1

and that worked too.

Thanks for the heads up on that I'll run that on the main site now  ;)

hmmm.... what database changes did you need to make?

The quiz installed perfectly well on my 2.0.2 installation of SMF
The only issue with the package, as presented on the mod site, is that the smf quiz site is gone, so there are no more notices or quick packages.


As for sharing your version....   yes, the original author has said that anyone may take it over.... However, you're not taking it over and, by including the mod as an attachment, you bypassed the checks that the SMF makes to make sure that mods don't contain obvious security issues or back doors.... So users who download and/or use attached packages need to be aware and careful.
I'm not going to remove the package, since the author essentially opened it up... but it does border on the edge of the rules. :)


to the user with the "previously declared" error.
You apparently did an additional install without uninstalling first.
You will have to MANUALLY remove all of the duplicated code (and there is likely more affected than just the part giving you the error message)

If you mean me, I have uninstalled each time before trying to reinstall.  I know I have because the first two times I uninstalled immediately that I saw the error message.  The third time I installed it I had a sniff around a bit first before uninstalling.  I have also installed each time through the Package Manager.  Each time the install passes all the tests then claims to have installed successfully, ie. it seems a completely normal installation.  I can even navigate around the front end of the application from the "Quiz" button on my menu bar, although there are no quizzes in there.  The error message only appears when I try to access the settings for the Quiz in my admin area, and of course when SMF tries to auto-direct to the settings immediately after install.

If however, you believe I have duplicated code that needs removing, please can you point me in the right direction - what and where?  I'm a complete newbie at this. 
Title: Re: SMF Quiz

you will have to check the mod parse instructions and go through each instruction to check for duplicated code.

I have no plans to...all I'm doing is trying to help out someone who's stuck...the file I have attached works for me so I am sharing it with others. I am not a coder and do not have any training as such... this is just a hobby...nothing else...if I can help someone along the way I will.

The original poster of this mod has abandoned it and said that anyone can take it over so I don't really see that there is a problem with sharing the file....unless you know different!!!

Nope...just looking for a fully functional mod for 2.0.2.  I'll give it a shot...and thanks!

Have you any ideas about my issue Davejo?  I've reinstalled from a fresh download but it's exactly the same...

I have just installed this on a fresh install of 2.0.2 and there were no errors at all. I have also changed the database files as i described and have a fully functioning quiz.

I might have changed some code in the original package. So I have attached it below. You do not have to delete the tables to re-install the quiz.

Using the file you supplied in the above post.  I had to extract and compress as a zip file since the Package Manager does not use .rar files.

Installation with Package manager had no errors...however, my error log shows different:

Thanks, Kindred...I sort of realized that after looking at the code from those two lines of SMFQuizAdmin.php.  However, I still have one error that needs to be addressed.  I put a support request over at the Bad Behavior mod support forum and was told to disable template eval to remove the above error.  After doing so...the error now reads:

I doubt it's a theme issue since I see the same on your site...and I also experience the same in the default SMF Curve theme.  It just looks so ugly the way it's displayed...almost like an accordion...ya know?

I just think it's the way it's coded.  However...I've said it once...and I'll say it a thousand times...I'm no coder.  Kindred make me think about it, though...which I do...sometimes.  Sometimes I figure it out...and sometimes I don't.  That's when Kindred steps in and gives me a little nudge.  He's good for that...and I hope he knows I appreciate it.  As well as I appreciate your help, too, davejo.  Thanks!

I am exactly the same as you Glitch, I'm no coder and most of what I know is from info on boards like this with the help of everyone else, who I thank very much for their input and help.

I have just looked at your screenshot and have attached mine...I have used the default theme and the look of mine is not the same as yours. So now I'm thinking is it a browser issue..I'm using IE9..especially as you said that mine looks like yours.

Hi
Apologies if this is in the wrong place, but I am very keen to know if there is a Quiz mod available for 2.02 yet, I see from this thread that there appears to be a lot of interest/development. I can only see an older possibly unsupported version in the approved mod list.

I am a new user to this forum with limited knowledge of SMF, but I do run an SMF forum be it very small at the moment.
Any answers gratefully received.

Thanks

Go here http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=293949.360

3rd post from the bottom and there's an attachment. That is a working version of the quiz and will install in SMF 2.0.2. Your only issue then is to install the quizzes themselves if you go further up on the same page you will see that I have given a walkthrough and a link to installing the quizzes via changes to the quiz database tables.

I should add that if you don't know what your doing then get someone who does, as making changes to the database can seriously harm your website should you mess it up.

Always make backups of your files and database before making any changes.
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: vindinacho on March 07, 2012, 01:35:15 PM
Wow ok that sounds great news.
I will probably try and install on a test forum first as I probably don't know what I am doing but willing to learn :-)

Much appreciated, and will certainly keep an eye on this thread.

I will say it again.... there is no need to use that attachment since the Quiz Mod that is available as the confirmed package on the mod site works just fine on 2.0.2 (yes, you have to set your forum to use emulation, but in 2.0.x, that is a simple button click.

I have no idea what database changes or code changes davejo has done -- since he has yet to answer my question (posed twice already) but it is not needed.

Hi again,

I am getting slightly confused, should I use the quiz on the mod site instead ?

Does it come with the quizzes ?

vindinacho,
no, I  don't believe that the mod comes with any quizzes, and the site which supplied the quizzes is gone... but you can make your own through the system.

As for emulation:   in the package manager, scroll down to the bottom of the packages list and click on the link labeled "Advanced". Change 2.0.2 to read 2.0 RC4 and then save. Now the "install" link should not appear for the quiz mod.
When you're done, go back to the advanced link and click the "revert" button and then save.

Hi Kindred,

Thank you for the kind info, I am maybe missing out some basics but just to clarify, changed emulation as per your post.

Then ? I browsed for quiz mod within Download Packages and found it, but no download option available next to file name.
I then tried to download by URl, still no joy, but may well be doing that wrong.

So struggling a little to get the mod down at all ?
Any suggestions to what I'm doing wrong here

2 - Downloaded package
3 - See "Instal mod" and press it

I'm sorry Kindred I thought you had read what I have done.

Ok here goes.

As you know there are no defualt quizzes with the mod, so what I have done is to extract the tables from my test site with 546 quizzes and I have attached them along with their images etc as a file. All those, willing to do so, have to do is install the quiz mod, then go into phpmyadmin and delete the current 12 tables that are created when the mod installs.

Once that is done then they open the sql file i have attached into Notepad++ and copy the text into a "Run SQL query/queries on database" window and run the query...this will then create the tables that hold the quizzes.

What should be noted is that some people are not using the default smf_ prefix on their tables so it means they will have to go through the sql file and manually remove the prefix.

And thats all there is too it.

If you want to removed the 'SMFQuiz' attachment I have in that post feel free to do so...the only reason I posted it is because someone was having problems installing the mod.. and that version I have posted will install without error on a clean install of SMF2.0.2

If you need to know anything else please ask

What am I doing wrong?

I installed the mod package fine.

I followed the instructions to update my mySQL database... I deleted the old 12 entries,  used Notebook++ to paste them in... saved... they showed up.... in the admin I can see them... in the game i can see them... but when i go to play a game it opens the quiz window... I hit the play button and it continues to LOAD LOAD LOAD... never ending?  The little load bar moves but nothing happens.

My error logs read:

I can choose a quiz... when I hit the PLAY triangle button it pops up the quiz window... which sits there...

No error is generated evidently.

Sorry but I cannot answer either of those questions as they are not errors I have personally seen.


Just for clarification...the database changes I have posted have worked on 3 different sites with different settings and names etc without errors.

I would suggest going back...removing everything to do with the quiz...including checking the files manually and starting again. Install the mod and try to create a quiz without making the changes to the database as I suggest and see if you then have the issues, save the whole database and then do database changes. If you have issues before the database changes then it must be in your templates somewhere.

Again I should point out that I'm not a coder and that everything I have done has worked for me and a few others. So I'm sorry I can't be of more help...I just help out wherever I can.

But it's there so thanks.

I tried downloading the quizzes but for some reason I cannot get them from the RS site ?
Is there any other way I can get them - email perhaps ?

Thanks
Vin

I have just tested the one I've posted and it works for me and I have just been to the host and it's definately there so I'm sending you the link via PM. If it still doesnt work I'll host it on my test site for download...but not till I get home this evening.

If you're using services like rapidshare to download you have to download to your computer or else it is not going to do anything accept return an error.

Welp... I am not officially bummed out.   I ran a test install of SMF 2.0.2 and installed just quiz.  Of course it works.  I have a ******-ton of work in to my current installation so re-installing isn't going to happen.  I have to determine WHY it's not working on my current installation somehow.  Hard to do when you don't know WTF you're doing, eh?

:(

EDIT: Now I am even more bummed... I just directly the test site to my current database and... it worked. 

The problem is somewhere in the code/theme...


EDIT #2:  Well... that "error" message I thought might be isn't..  On the working test site it pops up for a split second too... followed by the quiz.

:(

Here is a possible round-about-way of getting this done... just want opinions from those in the know.

Could I set up QUIZ on my test forum... point it to my current forums database... then alter the link in my current forum to look for SMFQUIZ in the directory of the test forum?   Would that work?  If so,  any suggestions on how to alter the forwarding link?

Hi everyone,
Just want to say thanks for the great support on this forum, in two days I have managed to put the quiz site on my test forum all up and running.
So far it seems to be working ok.

I have just one question for Davejo, I imported all the quizzes thanks, it doesn't look like I can disable and enable individual quizes, by toggling the white/yellow lock, or actually even within the individual quiz setup. - They still work even after disabling.

Just wondered if you had come across this and found anyway around it. Effectively I just want to run one quiz, and then run another on another day and so on, but not have 500 for users to pick from if that makes sense.

Hope you or anyone can help.

Thanks
Vin

Hi Vin,

Glad you got it working OK...at least my directions did work for you.

As far as disabling quizzes, I managed to do it the following way:

Admin/Configuration/Quiz/Quizzes and then disable each quiz individually by clicking on the padlock under the 'Functions' column, there doesn't seem to be an option for mass disabling...I have just tested this on my test site and once the quiz is disabled and the padlock icon next to it goes gold then it's disabled and can't be seen on the forum quiz page.

See attachment below
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: vindinacho on March 09, 2012, 04:37:55 AM
Hi, thanks

Yes I did that, I tried again disabling all quizes except two.
The two I left enabled now only show up in "New Quizes" and "Popular Quizes" but unfortunately all the quizes show up still in "Random unplayed Quizes"

See the screenshot - It appears disabling does not restrict them from showing under the Random heading, do you know of any way to either remove the Random from the theme, or disabling - I don't really want the Random part there anyway ?

Thanks
Vin

It'll probably be in one of the templates somewhere Vin,

I'll take a look and do some testing on my test site and if I get I get it removed without errors I'll let you know.

Ok I have found the section of code in

/Themes/default/SMFQuiz.template.php.

I have removed the section of code that relates to the 'Random Unplayed Quizzes' and the 'Quiz Search', as if your only having one quiz there is nothing to search for, and all seems to be ok with no errors being reported whilst trying to play or administrate the quiz mod.

I have attached the modified template below, just rename the existing version in your default themes folder and upload the one below.

Hope that helps

Although I only have a couple of quizzes added to this mod...it will be expanded...as soon as my board starts to gain in popularity...(hint-hint)... ;)

In the interim...is there any way I can get rid of those annoying .gif "new" images?  Although it may be nice to know a new quiz has been added...it's not really imperative that a user be notified with those annoying "flashing" images...since, if they visit the quiz page, they'll see what quizzes have been added anyway.  Just sayin'...

Would love to lose those images if anyone can enlighten me...

Thanks, in advance...

Ok after reading the first 7 of 23 pages I realized I dont have the entire day to go thru each and every post.

So I have some questions to speed this up.

1) Does this work or not work with v 2.0.2 ?
2) Ive seen so many error replies about it, has this been sorted out to where it ready to load and play ?
I dont want to have to hassle with adding snippets of coding and fiddling around in my MYSQL just to get this mod to work.

3)Can someone post a CURRENT link that I can check this out myself ?
and finally....

4) Can I download and install via package manager and start writing my own quizzes ?
I dont want to feel like I'm beta testing someone elses coding

Wow this place has really gone downhill from years back.
At NO POINT did I say anything about catering to ME or anyone else. and any person with common sense would realize that 23 pages of posts with the majority of them being problems or errors is time consuming to dig thru, and maybe everyone doesnt have the time to read each, individual post.

It was more a waste of time just trying to figure out if it was current and patched.
And FYI..I DID read several of the last few pages and still I saw conflicting error reports until I gave up and simply asked if this mod was ready for 2.0.2, which by the way DOES NOT show its been upgraded to 2.0.2 and is working on the mod link.

SHEEESH

Glitch,

I have managed to get rid of the 'New' gif for the 'New Quizzes' & 'Popular Quizzes' but I keep getting errors whenever I enter the 'Quiz Admin' section.

The error is:

Line: 2398

I do not get any errors at all when using the quiz or when going to any other area of the quiz headings i.e " Home, Categories, Quiz Leagues, Statistics, User Details, User Quizes"

I have attached the template to this post but as I say it will show errors in the error log..even though it works. It's up to you if you want to use it.

Thanks for taking the time to look into that for me, davejo...

If it's going to return more errors than I have already...I don't think so.  I just thought it'd be an easy fix.  Goes to show how much I know about coding, huh?  Anyway...I really do appreciate you taking he time to give it a shot for me.

Actually...I kind of like this answer.

I sometimes have to look through more than 100+ pages before I can find an answer to my question.  Sometimes someone will have pity on me...and because they have nothing to do...will volunteer their help.  I also try to use the Search box at the top of the site.  Most of the time...the answers I seek are silly mistakes I have made...and/or mod conflicts.  If you show initiative when it comes to finding the answer yourself...the god's will shine upon you.  If not...at least make an effort.  We're talking 23 pages here...and you don't have to read them verbatim...you can skim them to find the answer you need...

Just sayin'...  It's your choice...you can use the mod or not.  If not...move on...

Hi all you super support guys,

Just wanted to repeat what great support you have given me over the past few days, getting everything slick and running on the Quiz.
It runs like a dream on 2.0.2 and all my members love it.

For someone who knew nothing about Coding, Forums, Quiz Mod or even file types this thread and you guys answered everything I needed, and with a little "hard work" and "perseverance" from my end I got there - Thanks again

I have one question - a few of my members cannot get the quiz to run (I think they mean the quiz screen to popup, has anyone came across this problem and know the fix for it ? Could it be popups ? or anything to do with Java, I know one of them is using Explorer but thats all I know.

Any help greatly appreciated as per normal

Well, that error is not because of the mod itself... That error is because YOU double installed the mod.
The mod installed with no errors in 2.0.2, although you have to emulate a previous version to do it. As was said 1 page of posts ago.
Davejo has created an separate version with he made some tweaks in...   Also stated 2 and 1 page ago.

And I did not belittle your question, I merely snarked at your attitude of "there's a lot of posts, so I'll ask the question instead of looking for the answer"
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: XHIBIT911 on March 11, 2012, 04:48:30 AM
My point is that the last few years many of the mods feel so obligated to downtalk and assume that people have the time to go thru post after post after post, or they havent spent up to half an hour searching on their own.

You catch more flies with honey than vinegar and while there are many fantastic mods here now, there are some that are plain arrogant and nasty.

Its 50/50 and depends on whom replies...my other questions today were answered timely and politely and without assumptions. And for that professionalism I took time out and thanked the mods that displayed excellent support skills.

Regardless of what anyone thinks the truth of the matter is it would have been much easier to try checking into these pages, answering the question, or not answering at all. But as oppossed to trying to scold a grown man simply because he didnt have the time (after spending 45 minutes in the same thread and searching on his own) to find error after error report, then something is wrong with the machine and not the people who come here for support.

I dont see why its so hard to realize after reading a tidal wave of thread posts how some bits of info can become a blur.
But for the most part if you misread the demeanor of my original post, then I apologize for that.
My point was not everyone has tape on the bridge of their glasses and a pocket protector with 47 ink pens in it wearing an extra extra medium plaid shirt and can sit and scour every single post ALLLL DAY.
But it shouldnt be assumed that the search feature wasnt used either.

Thanks for your reply

In any event I'm done with the entire topic.

I think the first question to ask yourself Vin is; Is everyone having the same problem?...if the answer is no then it has to be a user orientated problem and nothing to do with the mod itself. Ask them to try using the 'Compatability Mode' in IE (that's if it's in their version)...or switching it off if it's on.

Also, as you say, get them to check the pop-up blocker...if they have the Google Toolbar then they probably have the popup blocker working twice, as it has one and so do most browsers.

I can't replicate that no matter what I do I get no errors at all.

So a suggestion.

1. Try un-installing the mod that the error referred to in the first place and see if it still happens when you access the stats. If it doesn't then the fault may be with the other mod.

2. The other thing is that the code is calling for the stats to be shown realting to the 'easiestQuizesRow'. Do you have Quizzes installed? They don't have to have been played. If yes then revert back to 1.
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: GlitchPC on March 22, 2012, 09:17:39 AM
davejo,

I have a total of 6 quizzes added.  I had, recently, made some file replacements...as you had suggested in a PM...remember?

Afterwards...I cleared the stats because I changed the time it should take to answer a question...and reset all the stats so that all who took the quizzes could take them, again, under the new settings.

So far...only one quiz has been taken...under the new time settings.  This person did not miss a question.  So, if the 'percentage_incorrect' is "0"...then, there will be an issue based on the code Kindred requested, correct?


Edit...

Now that someone else has taken the quiz...and when I click "Statistics"...that error no longer appears.

very strange...I had all the quizzes installed on the test site but no one has played a quiz and there was no error.

Maybe it had something to do with the changes to the times...and that the cache had not fully cleared.

So I guess that the problem has now gone away?

Easiest way to solve it should be to open SMFQuizAdmin.php, then look for:
function ParseLeagueMessage($message, $quizLeagueName, $oldPosition, $newPosition, $positionMovement, $id_quiz_league)
{
global $user_settings, $scripturl;

// @TODO single replace
$message = str_replace("{quiz_league_name}", $quizLeagueName, $message);
$message = str_replace("{old_position}", $oldPosition, $message);
$message = str_replace("{new_position}", $newPosition, $message);
$message = str_replace("{position_movement}", $positionMovement, $message);
$message = str_replace("{quiz_league_link}", $scripturl . '?action=SMFQuiz;sa=quizleagues;id=' . $id_quiz_league, $message);
return $message;
}


and replace it with:
if (!function_exists('ParseLeagueMessage'))
{
function ParseLeagueMessage($message, $quizLeagueName, $oldPosition, $newPosition, $positionMovement, $id_quiz_league)
{
global $user_settings, $scripturl;

// @TODO single replace
$message = str_replace("{quiz_league_name}", $quizLeagueName, $message);
$message = str_replace("{old_position}", $oldPosition, $message);
$message = str_replace("{new_position}", $newPosition, $message);
$message = str_replace("{position_movement}", $positionMovement, $message);
$message = str_replace("{quiz_league_link}", $scripturl . '?action=SMFQuiz;sa=quizleagues;id=' . $id_quiz_league, $message);
return $message;
}
}


BTW, is probably better if you use the support topic (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=293949.0) for that kind of questions. ;)
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: Kindred on March 23, 2012, 07:57:32 AM
if yuo are getting that error message (duplicate function) then either
a) you installed the quiz mod twice
or
b) you have another mod which created an identically named function.

In the case of a), you will have to manually remove the duplicate code
in the case of b), there are much larger issues... you would have to rename one of the functions and every reference to it for the mod.

It's me, again, Margaret... :laugh:

Can anyone take a look at the attached image and please tell me what template...and where in that template I can find the code to edit the color/style/class for those column headers?  I really would appreciate it.

Thanks, in advance...

I had a brief look and I could not find the edits for that...but I always thought it was got from the CSS for the mod itself...hopefully someone will answer as I would like to know also.

Well... I am still having the same problem.  Quiz installs without error.  Everything appears as it is supposed to.  Unfortunately when I go to play the quiz,  the quiz window pops up... then nothing.   

I HAVE installed this on a clean version of SMF and it worked fine.   There IS some sort of conflict going on with my DEFAULT,  but highly modified theme.... but if it's not throwing out an error I have NO idea how to go about fixing the problem.

ANY suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

SMF 2.0.2
DEFAULT theme (with many modifications)

Thanks!

I'd really like to try this mod.
Does anyone have the quiz packs?

Want to see if i can get it working.


First thing you need to do is install the quiz even though you dont have any images or questions.

Then download the tables and images I have uploaded (13Mb) here  (http://www.rapidshare.com/files/511666311/Quiz_data___images.rar)

Once you have done that then go to your cPanel for your site, run 'phpMyadmin' and delete the 12 tables that start with the name smf_quiz.

Once you have done that, open the file 'create database tables for quiz.sql' in 'Notepad++' if you don't have it installed get it...it's free, and this will not add any formatting to the text either which is very important.

The copy the text, (CTRL+A).

Go to your database and click on 'SQL' at the top of the page and paste (CTRL+V)the text from the database file into the box. Once you have done that click on go....wait for a while until the text disappears then click on you database name to see if the tables have been installed. If yes then close 'cPanel'.

Now go to the location where your SMF site is installed go to
Quote/public_html/Themes/default/images/quiz_images
using the folders provided by me overite the existing 2 folders 'Questions' & Quizes'

Once you have done that go to you site and clear out the cache and your quiz should be safe to run.

I have tested this method on my test site and it worked twice so there should be no reason that I can think of that it wont work on yours.

As I'm not sure if the link I have provided for the files is allowed PM me if the staff delete it and I'll send the link that way.

Worked like a charm! Thanks! ;)

Only problem I'm having is the search feature...searching for certain quizzes, even though they're there, the search feature produces a page with nothing found. Is there any fix for that or did I miss it somewhere. I've read this support thread back to page 19 but I might have overlooked it!??

Glad it's working for you OK.

I have tried this on all three forums I have set up and it works on all of them, including my test sites one of which is a fresh install of SMF 2.0.2...see screen shot.

What should happen is when you type into the search box it should populate an area below it, as seen in the image, of all the possible matches to your entry. Then all you do is click on one of them and the quiz should open ready to play.

If thats not happeneing it's possible you need to run the 'Database' maintenance 'Optimize all tables' and maybe go through and clear the site cache etc too.

If that doesn't work then I have no idea why it wont.

Anyone know the correct code to fix this issue?  (See attached image)

It appears the left title bar is chopped...while the right is rounded.  I'd like the left to appear rounded, as well.

Do you use Simple Portal? I see you do.

Try adding portal.css to your theme.

Can you check and see if the 'quiz_css' folder is in the themes css directory!! It needs to be in each themes css directory not just the default one.

If it's not then transfer the whole folder in to the css directory.

If that doesn't work then I don't know, sorry Glitch

I'm using SimplePortal 2.3.5.  There's no need for the portal.css to be uploaded.  The issue appears the same in both themes...so uploading the quiz css folder didn't work, either.

I appreciate the effort, though...I know it's a coding issue...just don't know where...

The search partially works for me. (See attachments below)

The first attachement show when I type "Countries" in the search field the results are shown under the field as I type it...that's works fine. But in the second attachment, it show what appears after hitting enter.

Oh and by the way, I wasn't getting the search result under the search box (see 1rst attachment) until I followed your suggestion for doing the database maintenance so thank you for that! But why don't the appear after pressing enter or search?

The generic idea is that each "h3" title should be surrounded by a <div class="title_bar"></div>...

For example in SMFQuiz.template.php, search for:

<h3 class="titlebg" style="min-height:30px; padding:0">
<span class="left"></span>
' , $txt['SMFQuiz_Common']['QuizHome'] , '
</h3>

it should be replaced by:
<div class="title_bar">
<h3 class="titlebg" style="min-height:30px; padding:0">
<span class="left"></span>
' , $txt['SMFQuiz_Common']['QuizHome'] , '
</h3>
</div>


Problem is that there are 8 to fix only in the main page...

Well, while I'm at it I can say I asked (few weeks ago) the permission to the original author to continue his work, he agreed and now I'm working on the mod.
First a big thank you to davejo for the copy he provided!! And for his support, I hope he will continue! :D

I started from his work to remove the errors, then I fixed (and I'm still fixing) few issues I knew, and few other I found (plus those that you found like the one reported by GlitchPC, of course if there are others feel free to bump them, I went very quickly through the topic...).
I'm now working on an import function (for a start from local files) for new quizzes. As soon as this will be read I'll update the mod on the mod site!

Ok, I understand that but how do we fix the actual results page? Shouldn't the result page display some search results instead of nothing after pressing enter or search? ???

I'm glad you told everyone as it was getting increasingly difficult for me to keep the secret ;)

With the errors that were being raised I just wanted to say to everyone...live with what you've got till Emanuele has fixed it.

Anyway folks as Emanuele has said he is working on the mod to update and improve things. He is also going to work on a similar function to the original quiz mod that you could share quizzes made by others.

So hopefully in the not too distant future this mod will rise again from the ashes and be as good if not better than the original.

Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: FrizzleFried on March 30, 2012, 02:43:26 PM
Long story... please ignore the LOGOUT unidentified index questions of past.  Basically,  I couldn't get it going on my modified theme... it would install correctly... no errors at all.  I could see the quizzes... but when I select a quiz... it would open the quiz window and... do nothing.

SO... i set up a test site and installed it on a bare version of 2.0.2.  It installed correctly and it WORKED.  So I figured  what the hell and bridged my forum to the test forum to run only the quiz.  THAT is where I was having the problems... basically all the mods I did to my main site weren't on the other site so when people did things OTHER than the quiz on the other site the errors flew... so I attempted to remove EVERYTHING other than the quiz from the other site... so the users couldn't click to go anywhere other than the quiz and HOME (which took you back to the main site).

Lets say I gave up.   I am back to only my main site and quiz installed... but it's doing the very same thing it did originally.  It works as intended other than when you click to play a quiz,  the quiz window opens and ... nothing.

But at least I don't have 2,500 errors per day filling up my logs.

:)

I'd love to get them going again as they were pretty popular here in the 3 weeks I had them going (albeit jury-rigged).

So it seems a problem with a custom theme. And that's already something.

Did you modify Curve or did you use another theme?
Or did you create a new theme based on curve, or which other variation did you use? :)

In the meantime I'll test with non-default themes to see if there are problems.

As I reported to Emanuele directly... it seems I managed to 'fix" the Quiz SOMEHOW.  When I took it off line it was NOT working.  That was last week.  Since then I have added a couple mods and fixed a couple bugs... I also added the newer Hooks program.  Not sure what did it... but QUIZ works.

MOSTLY it seems.

I am getting these errors in my log:

Post by: FrizzleFried on March 30, 2012, 10:16:00 PM
The two TRYING TO GET PROPERTY OF NON-OBJECT errors have to do with failing to get version info and news info from the now-defunct quiz site it appears.

I just commented them out.

// Get and set the latest version information
$context['SMFQuiz_currentVersion'] = $adminCenterXml->smfQuiz->latestVersion;

// Get and set the latest news information
$context['SMFQuiz_latestNews'] = $adminCenterXml->smfQuiz->newsEntries->newsEntry;


And low and behold... the INVALID ARGUMENT SUPPLIED FOR FOREACH() is also "news" related...

foreach($context['SMFQuiz_latestNews'] as $latestNews) {
echo ' <tr>
<td style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 0.8em;">' , $latestNews->date , '</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 0.8em; color: green">' , $latestNews->title , '</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="font-size: 0.8em;">' , $latestNews->description , '</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><hr size="1"></td>
</tr>


EDIT: Unfortunately commenting out the two as I mentioned above causes more problems with undefined indexes... >argh<

I will let the guy(s) who know what they are doing figure this one out.  I'll patiently sit over here on the sideline.

:)

Thanks!

FrizzleFried

Did you use my edit of the quiz?

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=293949.msg3286942#msg3286942

Because I deleted all code relating to the old news and SMFModding site and there are no errors.

I know Emanuale is rebuilding this but as you trying so hard to get it going try this for the time being....hopefully it will work for you.

You wouldn't happen to have your notes as to what you pulled?  I ask because it will require a manual uninstall if I wanted to uninstall and re-install your version.

The fact it's up and running is enough for me not to go that route.

You can just decompress the package and re-upload the files SMFQuizAdmin.template.php and SMFQuizAdmin.php (respectively in Themes/default and Sources). ;)

ETA I went through the topic, but I didn't find any, so just to not assume anything: is there any translation available? (I know the mod didn't work very well in non-English forums (personal experience ;)), but I think it's better to ask, because if the answer is no, then I'll the language files too.

I search the template files for anything that said 'SMFModding' and removed the code that used it.

What you could do is download my version and download your current operating quiz templates and using 'Notepad++' you can compare them them just make the necessary edits by deleting the code that you have in yours thats not in mine...if you know what I mean.
Remember to rename the original version on the site first or download a copy for backup.

Do you know I've only just got what that means now.

What they're saying, in normal speak ;) , is just take my individual templates and upload those to your site, instead of uninstalling the whole mod etc.

As I said before though remember to create copies of your originals...I normally just rename them .old instead of .php and then upload the edited template, if things do go wrong then just rename the old one as php and you're back to normal.

From the Quiz home page, there are a couple of links from the New Quizzes block and the Popular Quizzes block for a user to click...they are labeled as "View All".

When a user clicks these links...they are redirected to another page and these pages have a title bar as pictured below in the attachment I'm providing.

1.  How to remove that white line...
2.  The alphabetical listing doesn't look right with my modified theme due to the color of the title bar.  Any way to change the link font color without it being a global change to links?  I'm referring to the "A B C D E F...." links.

emanuele...

Thanks for keeping us all updated with the progress and supplying the edits for us.  Much appreciated...

That's a bit bigger change because it's a table.
So, in SMFQuiz.template.php, search for:
Code (find) Select

echo '
<table class="bordercolor" border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" width="100%">
<tbody>
<tr class="titlebg">
<td colspan="3">
';

// Title to show depends on the quiz listing type we are showing
switch ($type) {
case 'unplayed':
echo $txt['SMFQuiz_Common']['UnplayedQuizes'];
break;
case 'all':
echo $txt['SMFQuiz_Common']['AllQuizes'];
break;
case 'new':
echo $txt['SMFQuiz_Home_Page']['NewQuizes'];
break;
case 'popular':
echo $txt['SMFQuiz_Home_Page']['PopularQuizes'];
break;
case 'easiest':
echo $txt['SMFQuiz_Common']['EasiestQuizes'];
break;
case 'hardest':
echo $txt['SMFQuiz_Common']['HardestQuizes'];
break;
}
echo '</td>
<td colspan="6" align="right">', $context['letter_links'] . '</td>
</tr>
<tr class="', empty($settings['use_tabs']) ? 'titlebg' : 'catbg3', '">
';

and replace it with
Code (replace with) Select
echo '
<div class="cat_bar">
<h4 class="catbg">
<span class="floatleft">
';

// Title to show depends on the quiz listing type we are showing
switch ($type)
{

echo '</span>

I have installed this mod on one of my sites running SMF 2.0.2. Everything works apart from the Quiz Client keeps being fed the HTML for the site's Home Page when a quiz is run. Because the error reporting is pretty basic in the client, I modified the JS file to display the text of what was being returned to it - and, as you'll see from the attached screenshot, it's all HTML and not the XML for the start of the quiz.

I've read every message in this thread and this very problem seems to have occurred in the past but unfortunately the mod's original author did not see fit to answer it here, he simply put a link to a message on his own Forum which no longer exists (and the Wayback Machine doesn't hold any of his site's message pages).

Anyone have any idea what is going wrong - and how I can fix it so that I can offer my users this otherwise excellent feature?

Hi CircleDock,

Unless someone else can give you a quick fix I suggest leave things as they are as the quiz is in the procees of being bought up to date. So if you can live with what you have for the moment an updated version will be available in the not to distant future with additional functions to the existing one.

Hi Davejo,

Thanks for your reply!

As a result of some further testing and experimenting, I've found two or three things that may be pertinent:

I have the feeling I fixed this in the version I'm preparing (unintentionally, let's say it's a side effect of another series of changes I did).

I could have a workaround, but it could break something on the portal side (I'm not sure because I don't know anything about that portal...well I don't know anything about any portal! :P)...if you want to know it I can PM you, otherwise in (hopefully) few days I'll post the version I'm working on and that should (hopefully :P) fix your problem as well.

Please return when the next round starts."

It´s a new quiz and a new league.
No user can play this quiz.

How can i fix it?

I don't know if this will work but....

Try going into 'Admin/Configuration/Quiz/Maintenance' and then remove the default '7' in 'Complete Quiz Sessions Over' then click on 'Run Task Now' and repeat the same for 'Clean Information Board Over' (do not put a 0 in the box just leave it blank)

This will clear out any quizzes that have been started but not completed...warn your members first as they may have deliberately not finished a quiz.

Once thats done try again...if it works OK then repeat the process so you can start the Quiz League from scratch.

I really should have added that Emanuele has done all the work to this I am only testing it in different environments as I have two test sites.

My apologies to Emanuele and to anyone else who may have got the impression I was doing the edits.

I can confirm that, so far, I have found no errors with the install on a clean install of SMF2.0.2 and using it, I got 2 parse errors on a site with lots of mods (41) installed but this is to be expected as different mods write to some of the same lines of code in the templates etc and just means that these edits will have to be done manually.

The biggest addition to this is the fact that Emanuele has now given us the ability to swap new quizzes with one another through the export quiz in the admin section, this function also copies all the images required for the quiz when its exported, so no looking for those either.

I would also like to add a public thank you to Emanuele for taking this mod on and bring it up to date.

What are you apologizing for??
I didn't post to "mark the territory" (I did it just to create a bit of hype :P), without you and CircleDock the mod would still be full of bugs! (Yes, I write code, but I also write a lot of bugs! O:))

And Davejo, you're still my go to guy if I encounter any issues since I do have about 37 mods installed. I've resigned myself to the quiz being the final mod and the icing on the cake for my site.

Title: Re: SMF Quiz

Ok for those who are getting started below is a pack of 10 quizzes I have just exported.

Just go into the quiz admin and click on 'Quiz_Importer' and browse to the location of the downloaded '10 Pack.xml'

If you follow all the instructions it should be OK.

If you install these and they work OK, you should be able to create and play your own.

Just remember that if you are the admin it will not count your scores. What you might want to do is create a user named 'Quizmaster' or similar and use that ID for the quiz. You'll find that in 'Settings' 'Import Quizzes as User ID'.

hey Emanuel things are looking good, and I appreciate how much time and effort you put into getting this mod to work, my question is, will you be adding a upgrade option for those of us like myself who currently have a working version with over 300 quizzes. it appears when you  install this version, which I have just tried on a test site does not upgrade the old one. It just installs this version and I don't really want to lose all my install quizzes. ? ?
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: TheListener on April 21, 2012, 05:24:41 PM
Hmm

Odd times are ahead. On my test forum the menu bar says Quiz. On the main forum SMF Quiz.

How do I get rid of the SMF?

Scratch that. It seemed to change from SMF Quiz to Quiz on its own.

Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: emanuele on April 21, 2012, 05:40:19 PM
Quizzes are saved into the database and the mod doesn't delete any database data on uninstall (if you want you have to do it manually), so you should not lose anything (make you can always make a backup just in case ;)).
Additionally the install already takes care of updating the database if needed from version to version, so you should not have problems. ;)

BTW I uploaded another version of the package restoring the behaviour of not delete the quiz_images while uninstall (I removed it a while ago...honestly I don't know why... ::))

That's curious...I see Quiz when on the forum and SMF Quiz when in the admin area.
If this is the problem then you can change:
$txt['SMFQuiz'] = 'SMF Quiz';
in SMFQuizAdmin.english.php.

This info is available in the 'Information Board' which is at the bottom of the 'Home' page for the quiz. It is set at 20 by default, if you want to change this the go to Admin/Forum/Quiz/Settings look for 'InfoBoard Items to Display' and change to whatever you want. There is also a setting for 'Show User Ratings' ensure this is ticked.

NOTE: Some or all of this info will be removed if you use the 'Maintenance' option to 'Clean Information Board Over'

If a user disputes an incorrect answer...and is, apparently, correct...how does one modify their quiz results to reflect the change?  In other words...a user got one wrong that should have been marked correct.  How do I fix their quiz results to reflect it?

At the moment the only way I know to do this is by editing the database table 'smf_quiz_result'

Look at the image below.

You would need to look at the 'quiz id' number and the 'user id' and then find that info in the table. Once you have done that use the 'Inline Edit' option and change the numbers in the 'correct' and 'incorrect' columns and the click on 'save'. This will then give the correct results.

To find out the 'quiz id' hover the mouse over a quiz title and it will show you.

See below

I was able to make the changes to the database...however, there were a few tables I had to modify...and not just the one you mentioned (smf_quiz_result).  I should have wrote them down.  My bad... :o

This much I know...

It would seem just making that one change does not update the Info Board table.  You cannot do an "inline edit" for that table.  However...it can be edited.

It installed correctly, and everything works fine except for the edit option. When i try to edit a quiz, it gives me the following error message.

Method Not Implemented

GET to /index.php not supported.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Help pls.

Make sure bad behaviour is disabled before uninstalling.

I also use BB and have no trouble with it or the smf quiz.

I would assume that there is probably a problem with your firewall configuration.  That is an excellent mod, but is very difficult to set up correctly and very easy to screw up your system if you set it incorrectly.

Hello...it's me, again, Margaret.   :laugh:

Just noticed something about deleting "Disputes" on the older version...1.0.8 b4 version of this mod.

The only way to remove a dispute is to reply to the dispute and click the Send/Remove button.  If you see a list of disputes...and tick the box next to them...then click the Delete button...nothing happens.

I haven't upgraded to the latest version by emanuelle...waiting for any bugs to be ironed out.

In the meantime...how do I fix the above issue?  Thanks for any help on this.

Yep I concur with that as i too have a site which has the old version on it and it does the same there.

Dont know the answer but I think you'd just be better of taking the plunge Glitch and get the new version.

We have tested it till it screamed at us to stop and we didn't get any errors. That's not to say that a conflict may happen with another mod...but I tested it on my test site with 40 different mods installed without a hitch.

If you do take the plunge make sure you save the 'quiz_images' folder in the themes default folder before you unintsall it as it will wipe them out. It will not affect the database tables you have...although I would back everything up as a matter of course just to be on the safe side.

Sorry I can't be of any more help.

I assume it's the same package as the one you offered before but with categories now?   I ask only because I have 3 players who are actually coming up to having taken 300 quizes and when they're done... they're done... it would be nice to see new quizzes created again.   I suppose I could buy a book of trivia and go at it...

Okay...I updated to the latest version.  Just had to make one simple edit to Subs.php.  Just a heads-up...I had no issues with the quiz_images folder.  I just made sure it was there for my custom and smf curve theme.

Some aesthetic issues, though...and I will post them as I come to them.

If you are like me and use the left navigation menu in the Admin Control Panel of SMF...then you're going to run across this issue...(see attached image of the Quiz Admin Center).  Just a note...if the left navigation menu is collapsed...then you won't see the overwritten text as I have as shown in the attached image.

Is there a fix?  Thanks, in advance...

Edit...

Another issue...(see attached image of the Quiz Maters block).

Edit...

Another issue...(see attached image of Information Board)
The date is displayed with the time included.  Why does the time need to be there?  The date is sufficient...don't you think? The date column isn't wide enough, either for the displayed date format.  Also...using alternating colors for separate entries is not really aesthetically pleasing...as I'm sure you can see from the attached image.  While the first entry separates the date and information...the following entry does not...due to the secondary colors.

Edit...

Quiz Admin Categories column titles need to be white text, please.  (See attached image)
Quiz Admin Questions column titles need to be white text, as well.

That's about it...for now.  Not that I'm being picky...or, anything like that.  However...I can be a pain in the butt.   ;)

Regarding the alternation: I'll continue change the look of the mod in the next releases to be in line with SMF, so...later.
Regarding the time...not important not useless...from the time being I'll keep it.
Regarding the width...what's the resolution you are using?

Easiest solution is: open SMFQuizAdmin.template.php, search for:
Code (find) Select
<table class="bordercolor" border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" width="100%">
<tbody>
<tr class="titlebg" valign="top">


and then remove the class="titlebg" from the <tr> tag.
The same applies to few other similar headers like in questions.

You're absolutely correct. I have 55 mods running and after installing the new quiz it installed seamlessly but...when taking a test quiz it hung. Good thing i checked the post here and had an idea of what might be causing the issue.
I simply uninstalled fancybox and PRESTO...game on. Good catch !
Now its just a matter of me getting familiar with creating my own custom quizzes and uploading images.

Hi,
I become this error:

"You have already played this quiz league over the maximum amount of times allowed for this round
Please return when the next round starts."

It´s a new quiz and a new league.
No user can play this quiz.

How can i fix it?

I don't know if this will work but....

Try going into 'Admin/Configuration/Quiz/Maintenance' and then remove the default '7' in 'Complete Quiz Sessions Over' then click on 'Run Task Now' and repeat the same for 'Clean Information Board Over' (do not put a 0 in the box just leave it blank)

This will clear out any quizzes that have been started but not completed...warn your members first as they may have deliberately not finished a quiz.

Once thats done try again...if it works OK then repeat the process so you can start the Quiz League from scratch.
Thanks, but it doesn´t work.
I install now the new version of this Mod 1.1.0
Title: Re: SMF Quiz

Most likely it won't change anything: I don't remember I touched anything related.

Unfortunately at the moment I have no idea of what could be the issue here...
Usually the quiz leagues are not correlated to the number of times a quiz has been played.

Did you try to create a new league?

Post by: CircleDock on April 29, 2012, 02:30:01 AM
I want to thank Emanuele for reviving this mod and releasing a version that works with SMF 2.0.2 - and for not breaking anything on my site where we tested his various revisions!!

I know he has great plans for the Quiz mod and I've given him a "shopping list" of changes and enhancements I'd like to see which includes the provision of BBC in question and answer texts.

From my members' perspective, there is only one weak area and that's Quiz League Results where only the current top scorer's results are displayed (as well as "your" position if you're participating). That's hardly a league table which should show all the participants, their results and movement since the last update  - something like this:

                           ------ Round 3 Results ------      --------- Cumulative Results -----------
Position  Member's Name    Right   Wrong  Time-Outs  Time     Right  Wrong  Time-Outs  Time   Movement
    1       John Doe        10       5        0       94       25      6        0       185   up 1
   =2       Jane Doe         9       6        0       95       24      7        0       186   no change
   =2       Fred Smith      10       5        0       98       24      7        0       187   down 1
    4       You             11       4        0       94       23      8        0       187   up 4


There remains a major issue. All the images and JS scripts used in the Quizzes are stored in the default theme's images and scripts trees respectively. That's fine if the only theme available is the default theme but for sites that allow for more than one theme, this will be an issue. I suggest that all images be stored in "$boardurl . 'SMFQuiz/Images/'" and scripts in "$boardurl . SMFQuiz/Scripts/'" where they will be readily accessible regardless of theme.

I have around a version that *should* work (more or less) with SMF 1.1.x (that is the one I'm using on my own forum...yeah, too many things to do to even upgrade my own forum lol). I did few changes (don't even remember what I changed) and I should clean it up a bit...
Anyway it would be a completely unsupported version, at the moment I'm moving even further away from SMF 1.1 in the development of this mod, so it would be a dead version unless someone else would provide active support for it.

It's not an issue at all and is done on purpose: all the images and scripts are accessed through the default theme urls, so even if you are using a different theme they are loaded properly. Nothing to change here.

Okay, here we are.

davejo kindly provided a package with all the quizzes he already provided in the past (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=293949.msg3286796#msg3286796) this time in the new xml format (so that you can easily import them in your forum) and subdivided in 28 packages.

Please note that neither me nor davejo wrote these quizzes, they where originally uploaded to the website smfmodding.
They can contain errors, if you find any feel free to post here the updated quiz or the correct answer.

Please find here the packages:
https://bitbucket.org/emanuele_smf_projects/smf-quiz/wiki/Home

The files are zipped, you have to decompress them, otherwise the mod wont be able to read the file! ;)

If you want to provide a pack of quizzes or even a single quiz, feel free to attach it to a post here or to a new issue (https://bitbucket.org/emanuele_smf_projects/smf-quiz/issues?status=new&status=open) at bitbucket, in both cases I'll take care of uploading it to the wiki.

Happy quizzing! :D

So I'm just not on.

New version is installed and the old removed completely.
A league I've also been created. Still, I get just no indication at the quiz and the quiz will not start.

Down here on the first picture you can see how it looks when the popup opens.
In the second picture you can see how it looks when you click on Start Quiz.

I hope it can help someone.
Is it because I use the German rather than English as the default?
The Mod Quiz I only do not even translated.

Have you special characters in your quiz? (I have the same problem, go back to the page 27)

Try to download (https://bitbucket.org/emanuele_smf_projects/smf-quiz/wiki/Home) a english language quiz.

Okay, quick fix: replace the SMFQuizStart.php with the one attached here.

Tested only quickly, it should fix the "You have already played this quiz over the maximum amount of times allowed" problem for quizzes.

That's not entirely true...you are the first that has reported he is not able to start any quiz.

Just look at the last page and you will find a screenshot from Sabrinova of a working installation.

So, what is your configuration?
Would you mind  sending me the details of an account?

"You have already played this quiz league over the maximum amount of times allowed for this round
Please return when the next round starts." I dont have fancy box installed, i will send you an account with permissions if thats ok?

Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: FrizzleFried on May 18, 2012, 10:12:26 AM
To clear things up.  Fancy Box does not produce the errors these folks are getting.  When Fancy Box is installed you can get in to the quiz screen (the popup) but nothing actually appears.  No error is thrown.

Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: emanuele on May 18, 2012, 12:34:51 PM
I exchanged a bit of PMs with crustybum.

His problem is that the quiz data are not loaded to the template when accessing the quiz page, that leads to a broken quiz link (the one that opens the popup window) without the quiz ID. At the point, of course, the script that retrieves the data from the database doesn't know what quiz he is trying to play and it give the error message "already played".

Honestly I have no idea of what can lead to this result, I'd need to debug it...

It seems you are using prettyURL (or equivalent), that could be one of the problems, because I get:
QuoteThe requested file was not found on the server. This could be because it was deleted or it never existed in the first place. Often caused by misspellings of URLs.

Page Not Found
Requested URL: http://www.tennis-chat.com/SMFQuiz&sa=quizleagues&id=1
IIRC you can disable prettyURL by action, I'd suggest you to disable it for SMF Quiz.

ETA: apart from that, I got the error (you have already played...) the first time I accessed the league, but after that I didn't get it any more... :(

Thanks for looking into this.  I am using a premium MOD for the URL structure which might be what is causing the issues.  The URL that you posted, if you change the & to a / it works fine (http://www.tennis-chat.com/SMFQuiz/sa=quizleagues&id=1). 

I will raise this issue with the person who built the mod I am running. 

Thanks again.

Yep, I did that to go to the league, but then I got the error the first time I tried to play, but after that I was presented with the quiz screen, but empty.

I have spoken with the author of the MOD that I use for the Pretty URLs.  They say that the issue being used here is the way URL's are being generated by this MOD.  The problem being that the MOD uses ampersands and not the SMF standard, semicolon.

Using &id= will cause a lot of other problems anyway with users who have mod_security installed. Ideally the mod should be reworked to not use id= in any fashion, but yes, it should be converted to using SMF's standard ; instead.

having used the smf quiz in an previous forum i had, i downloaded the new version of the quiz, to our current forum,
but when it came to installing it, i got an "error in package installation" which gave this error ,

as can be seen from the above, it is something related to  /sources/subs.php
is this an easy fix (bearing in mind that my knowledge of this sort of stuff is minimal, to say the least!) or will it consist of a lot af alteration etc ?


the forum is running smf2.0.2 with simple portal 2.3.4 and around 20 other mods installed (any of which coul be causing a conflict ?)

any help much appreciated with this,

Hi it's possible that one of the other mods you have installed has put code in the same place that this mod needs to.

You will need to edit those files manuallyto install this mod.

Thanks for the reply,
i thought that might be the case, which is where the difficulties begin for me,
after looking at the sources/subs.php file i cannot even begin to see how and what needs changing there ?
what should i be looking for in that file that needs changing, and to change it to what ?

If you click on the small icon on the right next to the line where it says "test failed", SMF will show you the modification that fails.
Most likely you will have to search a shorter piece of text and than apply the change/s.

Otherwise try attach the file to a post here and someone will do the edits for sure. ;)

I love this mod, but I wish there was one thing I could change: you have to add questions to an already-existing quiz, you can't add a bunch of questions and then pick from the questions to make a quiz. :(

I already have a bank of ~20,000 quiz questions and answers, but I'd like to re-use some of the questions in different quizzes. As far as I can tell there doesn't seem to be any way to do that with this mod without entering the question again and again.

But although the settings i entered are that people should be able to play a quiz 3 times, it only works just 1 time giving a message (already played the amount of times you can play this quiz) when somebody tries to play a quiz for the second time ?
I have enabled the 'show answers' option, maybe this is causing the problem ?

Hello Booboy and welcome to sm.org. :)

The cause of "loading" issue is almost always different: it can be malformed javascript, it can be ads popping out in the wrong place, it can be some other mod do something it should not do, etc. (and in some cases like for A{b}r{a}xa{s} I still haev to find the cause because it appears to be a rather strange problem...)

What I usually ask is to send me the data of an account (regular user that can play a quiz) and of course an url to the forum so that I can check and see if I can find the issue. :)

If the league proceeds (i.e. round 2, etc.), but the leader is always the same could be a problem of a scheduled task not triggered or that doesn't work at all.

Try going to admin > maintenance > scheduled tasks, you should find a scheduled task related to the quiz, try to run it manually and see if the league is updated.

I want to make a music quiz, the members will hear a few seconds from a song and will say which one it is.
I guess that this script can easily be modified to play an audio file. Instead of displaying a string with a question, it could embed an mp3 player with the audio file. Right? Has anyone done this yet?

I tried to install it but the installation gives me errors at smf2/modification.xml and it doesn't tell me the line numbers so that I can go and see for myself. Now, I have to check ALL search strings in the xml to find the errors?  :-\

I looked at trying to do this myself but then went on to something else. The problem as I saw it was that the program uses JS script to run the quiz, so it would mean a script re-write to accommodate it.

All this means is that you have mods installed that have overwritten the default code that the quiz is trying to write to. Go back to the install and look at the templates that need manual code install.
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: vkot on August 27, 2012, 04:02:23 PM
Yes, I guess it's because of my installed mods, but the installation doesn't show me where exactly are the errors (like in other mods), so I'll have to check all changes in the modification.xml, from the beginning.

I had a quick look at the code. I guess I could put the mp3 filename as the question, and try to replace somehow like this:
echo $row['question_text']
with:
<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://blahblah/player.swf?audioUrl='.$row['question_text'].'" /></embed>

You guess that would be an easy modification?   No, I don't think it would be easy at all....   Changing a text display to a "play an mp3" is not that easy... especially not within a script that is already doing a dozen things to display on the screen.

I'm new with this MOD and still have to figure out a lot.

I want my moderators to be able adding quizzes so I gave them the permissions to do so.

So I made an test account with just moderator permissions to test it.
But, when I open SMF-Quiz in the main menubar I can't find a possibility to add a new quiz.
When I go to the Admin part in the main menu I can't find an option to add a quiz either. As a matter of fact, the whole quiz item isn't shown within the Admin menu.

Is there somebody who can explain me how I can let my moderators add Quizzes ?
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: emanuele on September 13, 2012, 11:09:40 AM
quiz > user quizzes
On that page on the left side at the bottom there is a "add new quiz" button.
Instead, for the admin page:
Admin > forum > quiz > quizzes
at the end of the table (on the left) there is a buttong "new quiz".

If you read the last three/four pages you'll find at least three to four similar cases with two to four different solutions.

It may be another javascript interfering with this, some character in a question or in an answer, a bug (unless I posted the fixed package, don't remember).
But, most important: which version are you using of the two available?

Are there any plans to make the question_text field (in the database and in the template) bigger than 255 characters? (which is even less with UTF-8). I think can do it for myself, but I was just wondering if I should wait for it in the next version.

Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: vkot on October 21, 2012, 05:46:23 PM
OK I did it. Here are the steps to increase question_text field size:

1) In table quiz_question, change question_text field type from varchar(255) to varchar(2000) or whatever you want. Just click & edit with phpMyAdmin, or use the command: ALTER TABLE quiz_question MODIFY question_text VARCHAR(2000);

2) In SMFQuizAdmin.template.php change:
<td align="left"><input type="text" name="question_text" maxlength="400" size="90"/></td>
to:
<td align="left"><textarea name="question_text" cols="70" rows="5"></textarea></td>
and
<td align="left"><input type="text" name="question_text" maxlength="400" size="90" value="' , format_string($row['question_text']) , '"/></td>
to:
<td align="left"><textarea name="question_text" cols="70" rows="5">' , format_string($row['question_text']) , '</textarea></td>

Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: Dave J on November 23, 2012, 07:24:54 AM
I would like to thank vkot for giving us the ability to add mp3 files to questions. As an update regarding the playing of music files in questions I have done the following.

The code I have added as the question is as follows:

Quote<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="audioUrl=http://the route to your mp3 file&autoPlay=true" src="http://google.com/reader/ui/3523697345-audio-player.swf" ></embed>

Notice I have added the '&autoPlay=true' following the route to the mp3 file, this enables the track to auto play once the button is pressed to start the quiz.

You can create a packge of the quizzes and they will be imported to another site and play without error, but please note that the link created for the track goes back to the site where the quiz question was originally created and is not stored on your site, this means that if the original site goes down your questions will not work (this is for mp3 tracks only, all other imported packages will work fine). I would suggest that you create your own tracks and put them in a similar folder on the root of your domain.

Well that's it if anyone needs any help let me know and Ill answer as soon as I can.


PS> It's worth noting that you can use any type of music file you want to, although I've only tested mp3, but need to set the file with the lowest Kbs file setting as possible so as not to increase your storage too much, the antmusic.mp3 file thats being used is 40Kbs and has a size of only 89kb and it's 17.6 seconds long.


UPDATE 07.10.2013. The code from Google is no longer supported, see this http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=293949.msg3619389#msg3619389

Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: vkot on November 26, 2012, 05:50:34 PM
Yes, &autoPlay=true is necessary!

Anyway, today I discovered a strange problem. Some of the question answers were missing, and I spent too much time searching, editing, wondering why they couldn't be saved. I copy-pasted the text again and again, saved, but then when I checked the question, the answer text had disappeared. Finally I isolated the problem, there's something going on when the answer text contains one or both of the greek letters Γ and Δ. I changed them to small letters (γ and δ) and all is OK. I cannot imagine why this happens. Now that it's working, I don't want to search it anymore...  :-\

Thanks to vkot I have now found out that there is a limit to how many charachters you can put into the question. If you don't want to mess about with changing code/script to allow more charactures then I suggest you keep the path and title of the mp3 to a minimum.

I  have 2 issues

1. I can import most  quizzes from the packages, but those with  lots of quizzes - like "music" (50 quizzes)  look like they are loading then I get a bank screen. Nothing is imported.  Smaller packages import fine.

2. First round of leagues worked fine, now on round 2  to  the quizzes won't load. This only happens with leagues, although I have set all normal quizzes to 1 play max. per  user.

I am using SMF Quiz 1.1.1 beta1

Hi fredcarrie and welcome to SMF,

Firstly I noticed the same problem the other day and I have now made those category items in smaller packages, I will attached them to a new post later today when I get home.

Secondly, did you read any other previous posts here about the 'leagues' if you do a search from the top of this page for leagues then all the posts containing that should be found. I personally haven't used the leagues so I don't know what the answer is but I do know that others have had problems in the same area.
Title: Re: SMF Quiz

I've just installed this mod and there is something I don't understand.

What is the Play Limit option you could set for a quizz ?

First I set it to 3, thinking it was the number of times you could play a quizz. But when I play a quizz for a first time, the second try I got a popup saying me I have already played this quizz over the maximum amount of times allowed. I tried playing a day after, the same message appeared.

Now, it's probably something else, so I ask. What is the play limit option ?

Okay, everything was working well with this mod. Was trying it out again & now the quizzes never load.

The pop up appears and it's constantly in a state of loading but never finishes.

Any ideas?

Have a look here http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=293949.msg3388942;topicseen#msg3388942 and see if that helps.

As it says there, the problems normally stem from another program/mod using java that's preventing it from working properly. Have you installed anything recently that uses java? If so try removing it and see if that solves the problem.

Yeah, I was able to figure out that it's the FancyBox 4 SMF mod.

How would I go about getting these two mods to play nicely together?

I'm not sure if Emanuele is working on it or not, I suppose at the moment you have to look at what is your biggest priority...'FancyBox' or 'Quiz' sorry can't help any more than that.

If it were up to me, I'd go with the Quiz, but I don't pay the bills, so it's not up to me.

I'll PM Emanuele and see what he thinks about it.

There are other options than "FANCYBOX"... there are no other options for "QUIZ".  I encountered the same situation and decided to remove FancyBox.... I went with Highslide 4 SMF.... http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2518

It plays nicely with Quiz.

I'll download the smaller packages later. You guys are the greatest!   :)

re- leagues - I have had a few odd things happening and I noticed the "perpetual loading"  issue goes away when I select just one category of quizzes for any league.

I don't know what you have and have not got so here is the whole package of over 500 quizzes. This does not include the music ones I have just created with the mp3 tracks.

I hope you have hours of fun ;)

Click me for quizzes (http://www.gardenguru-uk.co.uk/download/Quiz%20Packages%20Updated%2029.11.12.rar)

The link for download says "This Site Is Unavailable". Where else can I download the 500 quiz package?

Thanks for this amazing mod.  Only found one thing so far.  The quiz.jpg image that is supposed to show on the main page is missing from the /images/quiz_images/Quizes directory.  It's not in todays archive.  Could you please just post that image?  Thanks.

I had issues uploading the mod with all the quiz/category images on the SMF site - it seemed to be a timeout issue due to its size. Therefore I have created a separate add-on mod that will install a load of images for you, along with some default categories. Please visit the following for more information:

and no, I don't think that anyone ever did anything with the categories pack
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: Dave J on January 20, 2013, 03:58:03 AM
If you are going to use the quizzes I have uploaded then just look at the titles of the individual files and create the categories that are in the file name of the imported file i.e. 'Pack 1 (14 Quizzes - Animals, Birds, Fish).xml' = 'Animals, Birds, Fish'

There is no automatic way this happens as far as the installation of the quiz is concerned.

If you want the images that I have used for the categories then click on the 'Arcade & Quiz Site' link below click on the 'Categories' (see screen shot 'screencats.png' below) button then copy the images to your PC, you should copy the images before creating the 'Categories' or you will have to go back and edit them after.

$message = str_replace("{quiz_league_link}", $scripturl . '?action=SMFQuiz;sa=quizleagues;id=' . $id_quiz_league, $message);

and replace it with:

Thanks for your reply.

The attached pictures (teszt stat pic) shows that result, that i have made in the first time when i finished the quiz. I started again that quiz, finished it with a better result. I needed less time to finish this quiz, but the score table shows the old time. (I have made without error the quiz)

I think for this reason is that the main page of the quiz site aren't showing the new better result in the quiz master section. (teszt fo)

The images you show there are related to the overall scores of all quizzes.

The person with the most correct answers for ALL quizzes is on the top = Gold, 2nd from top = Silver, 3rd from top = bronze.

Even if you did the quiz again and beat your own score but did not beat the persons score/time in the 'Gold' position you would still not go any higher up the table.

I hope you understand what I mean.

The scores are based on the first time you play a quiz.
I think it's legit, because, obviously, the second time you should/could already know the answers to all the questions and it would be just a matter of being "faster".

BTW: did anyone try the new beta? Did you still have issues with the leagues? In my test site I got all the rounds properly one after the other, though it may just be I've been lucky...

Like if you plant a small tree with good effort, love and all necessaries, you will ever enjoy to see it grow and you will enjoy to see the birds living on it and people sitting in its shade.

That is a fruit of generosity. A pleasure and joy righteous gained.

Much sympathetic joy and thank again for your work! As well thank to all others who keep this tree alive and nourish it.

You have put this somewhere you should not (e.g. index.php).
Put it properly in the template and it will work.

Also, I have a few questions.

1) How does one edit the Question Type or Quiz Assignment of an already made question?
2) Can a Quiz be setup to take X random questions from multiple quizzes?

2 things:

How does the Quiz Leagues work? - can someone explain this to me please?

I've made an audio quiz with 30 second clips - how do I go about making this available to this forum?

Oh and by the way - This is a great mod - thanks and congratulations to emanuele and the others that have tweaked and fine tuned it - great job !

Hello webewitch,

...mmm...I don't know exactly.
At the moment the "importer" that I put together import/exports only the questions and the image of the quizzes, nothing else..

First of all, may I ask you what kind of audio files are they?
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: webewitch on June 24, 2013, 12:43:14 PM
mp3s

e.g. http://www.fuerteventura-forum.com/music/bsab5.mp3


Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: Kindred on June 24, 2013, 12:44:36 PM
I think that you would need a special player to play MP3s on your site...

the only audio/video files that play, natively, in the browser (that I know about) are swf flash files...
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: webewitch on June 24, 2013, 12:54:43 PM
There isn't a problem with them playing.

I use the format suggested by someone else in this topic

eg the 'question' for that clip is:

<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="audioUrl=http://www.fuerteventura-forum.com/music/bsab5.mp3&autoPlay=true" src="http://google.com/reader/ui/3523697345-audio-player.swf" ></embed>

... and the answer is multiple choice listing 5 bands.
There are 14 similar questions in the quiz.

No-one has had a problem with it so far.
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: emanuele on June 24, 2013, 12:59:42 PM
Well, I was more thinking that if the audio files are pieces of songs protected by some kind of copyright I'm not sure if it is a good idea to share them here even if they are only 30 seconds samples. ;)
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: webewitch on June 24, 2013, 01:03:46 PM
You have a good point.

Although in reality I can't see anyone complaining loudly, legally they are all subject to copyright.

Maybe I should just leave it.

QuoteI use the format suggested by someone else in this topic
btw - this was the post that showed the code:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=293949.msg3442413;topicseen#msg3442413

Oh and while I have emanuele's interest ...
It took me several days after installing this mod to discover the wealth of quizzes in store at:
https://bitbucket.org/emanuele_smf_projects/smf-quiz/wiki/Home
----there are 41 pages of this topic to dig through to find that treasure trove!

May I humbly suggest you include a link to them in your first post? It would help newbies like me.

Hi,

I've been getting the following error:

You have already played this quiz league over the maximum amount of times allowed for this round Please return when the next round starts.

I've searched the thread but not found a solution. Any ideas anyone?
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: emanuele on June 25, 2013, 05:11:16 PM
This is the message you (should) get when you have played a league round and you have to wait until the next starts (when the next starts depends on the time you set while configuring the league).

So, did you completed the league round once or are you getting this error at the first try?

is there a way that questions can be asked for events that have not yet happened, and for an admin to input the answers once the event has happened?

I would like to use this as a "team selection" game where users predict what team will start a football match, and once the actual starting line-up is revealed they get a point for each correct player

Only the mod author or whomever maintains the mod can do so.

Actually, Fossil, ANYONE can make an enhancement... even a paid enhancement.
The only restrictrion would ever be on DISTRIBUTING it...

As your your request nsno...   what you are asking for is potentially a complete rewrite, since the existing mod does not have anything coded to even start to handle your request.

Why not just use a poll?
In case there is a mod to allow multiple polls per topic.

I'd like to allow my members to be able to replay the quizzes after a month -

I know I can change that in Settings with 'Session Replay Time (minutes)' but is there any way I can change all of the quizzes' Play Limits globally rather than one by one? (I have 555 quizzes so doing it individually would be a pain)

At the moment I don't remember exactly (it's a while i don't touch the code) and I can't check, but it should be easy to create a scheduled task to do the same thing once per month.

I'll try to remember, if you don't see anything before next week, feel free to bump the topic. ;)

Unless I've misunderstood, I don't think a scheduled task should be necessary.
There are two factors :
Session Replay Time (minutes) - easily changed globally in Settings
Play Limit - has to be done individually - as far as I can see.

My play limits are all set to 1 - I'd like to change that to e.g. 12 - but globally

BACKUP your database before carrying out the following. I will not be held responsible for any failures of your site. (Note I have tested this on my own site and it works)


If you have access to 'phpMyAdmin' for your database then open it and click on 'SQL' at the top of the page insert the following into the box

UPDATE smf_quiz
SET play_limit = REPLACE(play_limit, 1, 4);


Look at the screenshot below for how to change the values you want.

Once your happy with the new value then press 'Go' on the right-hand side.

I have looked to see if there is a wildcard to substitute for the existing value so you can do them all at the same time but I can't find anything (I'm guessing someone here might have a better solution).

If you have different amounts in the current value then you will need to run the query for each value.

I would like to thank vkot for giving us the ability to add mp3 files to questions. As an update regarding the playing of music files in questions I have done the following.

The code I have added as the question is as follows:

Quote<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="audioUrl=http://the route to your mp3 file&autoPlay=true" src="http://google.com/reader/ui/3523697345-audio-player.swf" ></embed>

Notice I have added the '&autoPlay=true' following the route to the mp3 file, this enables the track to auto play once the button is pressed to start the quiz.

You can create a packge of the quizzes and they will be imported to another site and play without error, but please note that the link created for the track goes back to the site where the quiz question was originally created and is not stored on your site, this means that if the original site goes down your questions will not work (this is for mp3 tracks only, all other imported packages will work fine). I would suggest that you create your own tracks and put them in a similar folder on the root of your domain.


or use the 'Quiz Importer' and add the attached 'test music mp3.xml' below and import it as a new quiz. I have used the 'Multiple Choice' for the 'Question Type' I have also set it for 'Play Limit' 20 just so the question can be tested over and over again with tweaking where it's needed.


PS> It's worth noting that you can use any type of music file you want to, although I've only tested mp3, but need to set the file with the lowest Kbs file setting as possible so as not to increase your storage too much, the antmusic.mp3 file thats being used is 40Kbs and has a size of only 89kb and it's 17.6 seconds long.

Please note that the link http://google.com/reader/ui/3523697345-audio-player.swf is no longer supported by Google.

If you want to still use the audio quizzes then you need to upload a player to a folder/root of your website and then edit the link to h**p://www.mysite/folder/miniplayer.swf

I am using the player attached below

right click 'save target as' (http://www.gamezfix.com/miniplayer.swf)

As far as I know the only language that's supported is English. Have a look in the SMFQuiz 'Language' folder to see if there is a 'SMFQuiz.yourlanguage.php' file if not then it's english only until someone creates a new language file for you.

i have solved the saving in greek questions, titles, answers -  error .. by replacing all the 'utf-8' to 'latin1_sweedish_ci' from SMFQuizDb.php file.

'is_correct' => $is_correct,

'id_answer' => $id_answer,
'answer_text' => $smcFunc['db_escape_string'] (htmlspecialchars($answer_text, ENT_QUOTES, 'latin1_swedish_ci')),
'is_correct' => $is_correct,
'updated' => $updated
));


But now when i try to play a "greek" quiz i have "An unexpected parser error has occured while retreiving data from the server"

any ideas ?  :-\

Not a good idea.

Don't know about the questions already in the database, but try replacing all these db_escape_string with something like:
'answer_text' => $smcFunc['htmlspecialchars']($answer_text, ENT_QUOTES),

It's probably because the strings are not properly formatted and the resulting xml is wrong.

I should have a look at the xml, if you can provide an account with ability to play quizzes and maybe to manage them too, would be the best option.

Unfortunately your issue fits into the encoding-chars mess that I planned to clean a long time ago, but never had time to...
I also have some doubts now on the "state" of the tables (i.e. if they are UTF/latin/something else), so I'm not sure what to do. :(

If they are not in the language files, then you probably have to search in the javascript files... There are quite a bit of "hard-coded" strings in the mod.

Tienes que ir a la carpeta themes/default/scripts/quiz_scripts/QuizClient.js y ahí se pueden modificar todos los textos de dentro del quiz. Yo lo hice hace tiempo para mi foro y si le echas una tarde modificando cosas (colores de fondo, de texto, tamaños de texto...) al final te puede quedar un resultado bastante chulo.

VERY rough translation by K@: Please, stick to English in the non-language-specific boards, Norvidge, if you'd be so kind.

You have to go to the themes/default/scripts/quiz_scripts/QuizClient.js folder and there can be all articles within the quiz. I did it long time for my forum and if you take an afternoon modifying things (colors for background, text, text sizes...) at the end a result can stay pretty cool.

I have a question, when we answer a free text question we can hit enter button to submit the answer, but hitting the enter button again does nothing. It would be gr8 if hitting enter again take us to next question.

I have just found a new issue.

It would seem that when your creating a quiz and add questions you cannot add images at the time of creation that would form a part of the question.

i.e. if you created a quiz based on photos of people and asked who they are you cannot add the photos of the people when you create the quiz.

The attachments 1 & 2 show the window when creating the questions. Attachment 3 shows the question once the quiz has been approved and then you return to the question to modify it.

Now I wonder why that happens like that (http://www.gamezfix.info/Smileys/game/think.gif)

Any ideas Emanuele?

I'm using 2.0.6 and quiz 1.1.0 and I don't have this problem. I always get all the options. I notice few people having problems playing Leagues that stop after the first round. We did discovered in 2012 that by disabling the option of "Send PM on Quiz League Round Update" in settings, did eliminated the problem and the League did always worked fine after that.

Let's say for arguments sake the question is 'Who is this person' and then the person playing the quiz has to look at a photo of a person. What's not happening Emanuele is the option to upload a picture if required and it should be automatically there and as you can see from the attachments it doesn't matter what type of quiz it is either.

What I have just notice though is the Quiz version.

Are we meant to be using the beta1 or the beta2 version as I have 'SMF Quiz 1.1.1 beta1' installed, although looking below the 'Quiz Home' it says I'm using version 'SMFQuiz 1.1.0 © 2009, SMFModding'?

ooohhh... sorry, I was probably more asleep than I'm now.
Normal users are not allowed to upload images I think, so if you create the quiz from the admin panel you can upload images as well, if you do it from your profile you are not presented with the upload box.

I'd like to allow my members to be able to replay the quizzes after a month -

I know I can change that in Settings with 'Session Replay Time (minutes)' but is there any way I can change all of the quizzes' Play Limits globally rather than one by one? (I have 555 quizzes so doing it individually would be a pain)
At the moment I don't remember exactly (it's a while i don't touch the code) and I can't check, but it should be easy to create a scheduled task to do the same thing once per month.

I'll try to remember, if you don't see anything before next week, feel free to bump the topic.
Bump  :)
Bumpity bump  :)

BACKUP your database before carrying out the following. I will not be held responsible for any failures of your site. (Note I have tested this on my own site and it works)


If you have access to 'phpMyAdmin' for your database then open it and click on 'SQL' at the top of the page insert the following into the box

UPDATE smf_quiz
SET play_limit = REPLACE(play_limit, 1, 4);


Look at the screenshot below for how to change the values you want.

Once your happy with the new value then press 'Go' on the right-hand side.

I have looked to see if there is a wildcard to substitute for the existing value so you can do them all at the same time but I can't find anything (I'm guessing someone here might have a better solution).

If you have different amounts in the current value then you will need to run the query for each value.

I just follow your instruction and double check the database and all play_limit entries are now set to 4. But we still cannot play the quizzes more than once. Is there something else that you did for yours to work?? Maybe a log-entry that need to be clear?

Thanks

Burt

Those quizzes are personal to our site as they include links to the music files on our server. If we share them with the 'world' then we would end up using a lot of our sites bandwidth for others not to mention the legality of it.

Have a look at the attachments below. Firstly do all the quizzes show a play limit more than 1? (in the attachment 'quiz2' mine are set at 2)

Also what have you set the 'Session Replay Time (minutes)' I have mine set at 1440 which is one day, attachment 'quiz1'.

You may need to reset the session plays etc in the maintenance area. If you have not got that many members using the quiz at the moment maybe it would be worth resetting the whole quiz back to day 1, clear all results etc.

If you do this look a the attachment, 'quiz3' below and make sure you put '0' into each box before you press the 'Run Task' button, you will have to do this for each seperately. Basically use every button that's in the maintenance area

That's about all I can suggest.

Hi davejo...

I would like to ask you another couple of questions if you don't mind...

As I mentioned in one of my previous post, the only way for us to be able to play the League and not having the League to stop working after the first round, was to disable (un-check) the option to "Send PM on Quiz League Round Update" in the Quiz Messaging Setting. I notice that some members here still complain about the League stopping after the first round. I was wondering what you setting for the League are and if you are having similar problem.

Second question is, when we originally started to use this mod, the quiz involving pictures were just impossible to use as the pictures were just too small to see anything in it. Is that because the picture were too small in size or was it a limitation of the mod? What I mean is, I haven't try again since and I was wondering if you are using quizzes involving pictures and if you do, what size picture do you use...

Thank You

Burt

I do not use the 'Quiz League' as there has been no interest in it. I'm guessing this might be a coding issue that is best answered by Emanuele

I have not created any quizzes with photo's Burt but you could always look in your default theme's image folder
Quotepublic_html\Themes\default\images\quiz_images\Questions
look at a quiz with photos in the question and then look at the size of those in the above folder.

Hello there..

Just to confirm that the modification to the DB plus entering 0 in the two Session and Information board, did NOT do the trick. I though it was working but now is back to one play per quiz regardless of what the DB says or to what number you have in "Play Limit".

PS

You don't play League?? Really.... My members go crazy for the League. They love it. Ii is like sharks feeding time..... :)
But as I said in the past, the League use to stop after the first run, unless you did disable the automatic messaging system in the game...If someone want to pass that to Emanuele (oppure lui puo` leggerlo qui 8-) )...

It is actually very simple...

Quiz League > New Quiz League... then

Title: what ever you want.

Description: as per normal Quiz description.

Category: Here you pick the category from where you want the questions to be picked from.

Interval between plays: necessary time to allow every member to play. Normal choice here 3 to 7 days....It depends how busy your members are. If they log in often you can keep that number down. I they are busy, probably a 7 would be good. That mean they can play once a week.

Question per session: How many question per quiz (the question are randomly picket from the Category you did choose.

Seconds per question: same as per normal quiz question.

Point per correct answer: self explanatory.

Total rounds: here you pick the number of round for the League. So if you for instance have put 7 in the interval and you put 10 in here, your League should last 7 weeks.

State: on off

Show answer: same as normal quiz.


That's pretty much it. Once you started it, members have x day (based on your interval number to play), if the miss the round, the League still goes to the next round. They just lose the chance to play that round, but they can play the next. As long as you have plenty of quizzes and categories, the League is probably the most fun for the members as they compete against each other and not only against who play that particular Quiz. Also the questions are random and you may get the same question in a round even up to three times. Imagine how happy the member was considering that he didn't know the answer to that... :laugh:

If your League stop working after the first round, few years back, we discover that by turning the Automatic message system in the game off, did fix the problem. I'm not aware if anyone has fix it or got around to do anything about. But if you leave the boxes unchecked the league works as a charm...

Hi there, when you say there is no way, what do you mean? How does the mod currently pick the random questions for the League? Surely, there is a way to implement a routine check that doesn't allow duplicate.... Or even allow the Mod to pick just one question out of each quiz, it would fix the current problem... :)

Dear SMF-Supporters
Mod- Supporters,
And SMF and Mod friends,

Since a while there is a lot of activity of "robots"? in the quiz area and a huge amount of critical and undefined errors.

all are looking somehow like this but less really identical in line, detail action, IP, id-user...:

I have to add that it is not often used actually but as soon as somebody is using it come to a big amour of this errors as if robots would be leaded by new links or file changes to try certain links and pass over the same "No No"s again.

I hope my unliteral description could give enough info to describe it.

Does anybody here know how or if there is a fix, to get the League not to ask sometime the same question two or three times per round?
Unfortunately at the moment there is no way... :(
Hi there, when you say there is no way, what do you mean? How does the mod currently pick the random questions for the League? Surely, there is a way to implement a routine check that doesn't allow duplicate.... Or even allow the Mod to pick just one question out of each quiz, it would fix the current problem... :)
Every question is requested separately to the db with an ajax call. In order to be able not to pick a duplicate question you'd have to track all the questions you have already asked.
As far as I remember, last time I looked at the code it was not easy to get that, but it was a long time ago so I may be wrong.

If anybody has a hint, it would be great.
Remove access to guests to the quizzes.
I'm pretty sure they cannot run a quiz, so it's useless to give them access.

Dear Emanuele,

I would love to make a translation into German and it is quoted "If you wish to translate to other languages, please get in touch". What the best way to provide such?
Just picking up the language.php? Or are there some specials?

I have made a "quick" German-Formal uft8 beta-version for general use. Would be good to see trough it and make beta test. If good so far, I would like to make a "informal" Version as well and! a Version that uses Language for a different purpose: As a leaching and mentor/student tool, of for not so gaming purposes as I think that this tool can be used very well in study forums as well. Such would be maybe good in English as well.

Feedback in this regard welcome.

May you have use of it and be able to receive it.

I am not a programmer, so my current question: Would it require to change

// Load the language file
loadLanguage('SMFQuiz');


to something like

if(loadLanguage('SMFQuiz') == false)
loadLanguage('SMFQuiz', 'english');


in SMFQuiz.php, to keep it changeable for the particular user in language regards of the forum ?

No, the code you posted is a practice use in SMF 1.x, SMF 2.0 takes care automatically to load the English before any other language.

If it is enough to move it on the user-accessible pages and not the admin ones, you can open SMFQuiz.template.php, then find:
Code (find) Select
echo '
<table width="100%"><tr><td align="center"><a href="http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1650" title="Free SMF Mods" target="_blank" class="smalltext">SMFQuiz ' , isset($modSettings["SMFQuiz_version"]) ? $modSettings["SMFQuiz_version"] : '' , ' &copy; 2009, SMFModding</a></td></tr></table>
</form>'

and replace with:
Code (replace with) Select
echo '
</form>'

Then in index.template.php find:
Code (find) Select
<li class="copyright">', theme_copyright(), '</li>
and replace it with:
<li class="copyright">', theme_copyright(), '</li>', !empty($context['SMFQuiz']) ? '
<li><span class="smalltext"><a href="http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1650" title="Free SMF Mods" target="_blank" class="smalltext">SMFQuiz ' , isset($modSettings["SMFQuiz_version"]) ? $modSettings["SMFQuiz_version"] : '' , ' &copy; 2009, SMFModding</a></span></li>' : '', '


It should work.

Hi everyone,
i'm using smf 2.0.8

i have just installed the quiz mod,  which seems to be working fine,
with one exception, which is the categories section,

i downloaded the quiz question pack from davejo's site after following the link in an earlier post,
and can import the quizzes ok,
but cannot find any method of getting them into the categories i have created for them,
i get just a top level category, with all the quizzes lumped into that category,

what am i missing here? (assuming its not a problem with the quiz package itself?)

any pointers in solving this would be great, as i want to ensure all is working as it should before the site goes public,

thanks,
ashter.
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: Dave J on July 19, 2014, 12:35:15 PM
If you have downloaded the quiz pack of mine then you can do one of 2 things:

1. Create the same categories as I have in our Quiz on the website in my signature. If you do this then uninstall all the quizzes, then create the categories then import the quizzes again and they will all go into the categories themselves.

2. Create your own categories and then assign those quizzes to your new categories. To assign a quiz to a new category you need to go into the 'Quiz Admin' and then chose 'Quizzes' then click on the little pencil icon at the far right of the quiz (see attachment below) then when the new window opens click on the drop box for 'Category' (see attachment below)and then choose the new category you want that quiz to be in. Once you have done that click 'Update Quiz' at the bottom of the page.

This is an amazing mod, just what I need for my forum!

It installed without any errors or issues.  All the admin functions work.  In fact, everything seems to work beautifully, except when I actually attempt to take a quiz, I get the blank quiz window and endless "loading." 

I've read every page of this thread.  The most common causes of this type of issue are the lightbox mod and the PrettyURLs mod.

I do not have the lightbox mod installed.  I do have PrettyURLs, but I added SMFQuiz to the list of actions that PrettyURL is to ignore.

I also tried deactivating DreamPortal and still had the same issue.

The forum I have installed this at is www dot affirmativealliance dot com - I have set it so "Guest" members can access the quiz module.
I am using SMF 2.9.  I installed the beta release of this mod.

I know this mod is old and it looks like it's not under current development, but if anyone has any suggestions or ideas that I could try to fix this, I sure would appreciate it!

Did you install any quizzes yet?

I know you have signed up on the site where the questions are, but did you download and install them? I not sure if it makes any difference but the quizzes on myvsite are already in Categories, have you created Categories for them on your site?

If you have then the only other thing I would suggest is to uninstall your mods one at a time doing a database back up in between each one and see if anything changes.

Sorry I cant help any more than that

Title: Re: SMF Quiz

Yes, I set up some categories, and installed some of your quizzes.  At first, I thought it may be some sort of weirdness with importing the quizzes, so I tried different ones, and I also tried just making one from scratch.

I'll go through uninstalling the mods one-by-one next :hassle: and hopefully will find the trouble-maker.

It's not generating any error messages, and other than some missing image 404 errors (issue with image directory, already fixed), I also don't see anything wrong using Chrome's "Inspect Element" and other debugging tools. 

Thanks for your help, and all your work on this mod and the quiz packs - it's fantastic! I really hope I can get it to work, it's so perfect for a project I've been too-long procrastinating on!

Greygal

P.S. Really like your website, think I'll be spending quite a bit of time on it come springtime!

Well, I'm not entirely sure how I got it working, but it's working!

I uninstalled all mods, and it still didn't work.

I reinstalled all mods, and it still didn't work.

So since I was messing around anyways, I took the opportunity to update a few of them that I'd not updated in a year or more. 

I checked the quiz after each one, and it didn't work, until I had updated both "Like Posts" and "Quick Spoiler."   Updating one or the other, no joy.  Updating both, joy.  I've no idea why, to be honest!

But the quiz mod is working!  And it's beautiful ... I can't wait to start loading it up with quizzes for my guys!

Thanks all who keep this fabulous mod alive and kicking!

I have installed this mod on my smf 2.02 system and it seems to be working very well so far.  I do have a couple of questions.  First of all there does not seem to be a way for a person to edit a quiz they created unless I give them full admin privileges to the Quiz program.  This means that anyone who has these privileges can not only modify their quizzes, they can also modify everyone else's quizzes.  Am I missing something here?

Second, the Play, Home and Favorite buttons are small with no tool tips and some of my members can't start the quizzes.  Could someone please tell me which file I need to modify to change the buttons and to add tool tips to them.

Thanks in advance,

You can create new images and replace the buttons with those new images.  The images for those buttons are found at ..Themes/default/images/quiz_images - the "play" button, for example, is Play-24.png

Just look through that directory, find the image you want to change, create a new image, name it the same name as the old image, and replace the old file with the new file.  Pretty simple.

I'm fairly certain that the creator of a quiz can always edit their quiz up until the time it is approved by a quiz admin.  Once it's approved and "live," I don't believe it can be edited by anyone other than an admin (haven't played with it that much as a non-admin though, so I may be wrong).

As to Quiz Admin rights, yes, if someone has the rights to admin the quizzes, they have access to admin all quizzes.  Looking at the code, it'd be kind of a pain to make it so people could only admin certain categories of quizzes, for example. 

And finally, as posted above by Kindred, you seriously need to update your SMF installation ASAP.  Multiple security fixes, stability patches, bug fixes, and other changes have been made to SMF.  Update to 2.09 asap, don't leave your forum at risk.

Hope this helps!

Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: Ron Austin on December 03, 2014, 07:38:27 PM
I did find the spot in the SMFQuiz.template.php where I could change the size of the images.  There were no tool tips so people who didn't recognize the play button didn't realize that they had to hit it.  I ended up leaving the buttons the same but added title to make tool tips.

Some where I read that if you upgraded smf it would mess up all the mods so I have resisted updating my site.  I guess I will back everything up and give it a go.
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: Greygal on December 03, 2014, 07:44:56 PM
Depending upon the mods you have installed, many have been updated to work with SMF 2.09, and most of the ones that are updated to work with 2.02 will work smoothly with 2.09, but likely have already been updated.  Continuing to use 2.02 means not only your core forum is out of date, but many of your mods are likely out of date, too.

I recently updated from 2.07 to 2.09, and I did it in two update steps - first to 2.08 then to 2.09.  I had only one minor manual edit I had to make when I updated to 2.08, and none for 2.09. 

I then went and looked up each of the mods I had installed, and the overwhelming majority of them had been updated - some several times! - so I updated those mods.  Entire project took less than two hours for me, but my core installation wasn't as out of date as yours.  At least you're not still using the 1.x series!

You could just step-update it from 2.02 to 2.09, or you could do a fresh install then reinstall all your mods.  Whichever works easier for you.

Backup everything, twice :)  That's my motto!

BTW I also found those buttons non-intuitive, and replaced them with new buttons that were a lot more obvious and had text on them :)

Good luck!

Thanks for the reply and info.  I put text on the buttons but it was so tiny I couldn't read it so I went with the tool tips.  I have yet to see what Add to Favorites does.  I have not seen any place where favorites are indicated.  I am thinking about removing that button all together.

Question :
How do I use the same questions on two forums. I have one local and one regional site that will use the same questions and answers. So is there a way to transfer one quiz to another? I saw you created sample quizes is there a system to making these ??

Thank You.
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: Greygal on December 13, 2014, 02:05:07 AM
You can export the quiz's questions, edit the XML file if and as needed to fit the other site's quiz mod, then import them.

For example, I wanted to combine two quizes into one quiz.  I exported both, then copy/pasted just the questions from the one into the other, then reimported it.

Post by: Greygal on December 31, 2014, 11:00:31 AM
Is it not saving scores for just you, or for everyone?

Note it will NOT save scores for the "Admin" member(s) of your forum, because, well, admins have access to the answers, after all :)

Try it with a non-admin forum account and see if the problem continues.  :)

If it's still not saving scores, try clearing caches and double-checking settings/permissions. 

Hope this helps!

If you installed the quizzes with your own admin account you cannot play them. What I did was create an account called 'Admin' then installed them using the ID number for that account., I'm pretty dure that somewhere in this thread there is a script you can use in the database to change it for all quizzes with your member ID number.

Hope that helps,

Happy new year to one and all

Believe you can change those in the /languages/SMFQuiz.english.php file.  Might have to dig around in some of the other files to find the text, but most of the text for this mod is in the languages file.  Hope this helps.
Poked around was not able to find the area to change it , any one with ideas where it is located ?
PS. Found the language file, but found no edits for the menu item QUIZ to be edited.

Looking at the mod's parser, I see these:

/Sources/Who.php

//Begin SMFQuiz
'quiz' => array(
'label' => 'Quiz',


Could be that. But, I doubt it...
____________________________________________________________

/Themes/default/languages/index.english.php

//Begin SMFQuiz
$txt['SMFQuiz'] = 'Quiz';
//End SMFQuiz


Could well be that second line, methinks.
____________________________________________________________

/Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php

//Begin SMFQuiz
$txt['quiz'] = 'Quiz';


Could well be that one.

Suck 'em and see. :)

welcome
how to do that: there were several correct answers

QuoteUstawa Prawo geodezyjne i kartograficzne reguluje sprawy dotyczące:
a) państwowego zasobu geodezyjnego i kartograficznego,
b) rozgraniczania nieruchomości,
v) numeracji porządkowej nieruchomości,
d) uprawnień do wykonywania prac geodezyjnych i kartograficznych.


all the answers correct, but in other one or two - possible to set the quiz?

I understand that English might not be your first language... but one-liners with no capitalization, no punctuation and expressing only "stream of consciousness" type content are not actually useful for others attempting to understand what you are trying to say.

There are css files where you can do it, but its quite complicated to change the design, I had a try, really quite complicated as the structure and which css to use is not easy to see. Hope that was helpful and will be an indicator for additional help.

Couple of questions for anyone that may knows the answers.


First one is, what has it changed in the code from 1.1.0 to 1.1.1 beta 2. There is no mention of it in the Change Log... and Second, I sadly still have the problem of not been able to play the quizzes more than once. Does anybody else have this problem?

I'm guessing that you still having problems as per the post you made below.

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=293949.msg3667824;topicseen#msg3667824

I believe I mentioned about resetting the quiz results did you do that Burt? If not you might want to try it. There is also the 'Session Reply Time' (on the 'Settings' page) did you do that too?

Create a test quiz and then set the play limit to 4 and the 'Session Reply Time' to 1 minute and see if that works, if it does then you will need to 'Reset Quiz Results' in the maintenance area.

Other than that there is nothing else I can think of that would cause that

Does you Data Base run on utf-8? There is a converting tool within the panel BUT it can be that you need to convert some Datas later on in the database, as old special characters are displayed as utf-8.

Thanks for your reply Dave

Yes I did tried all your suggestions the last time, but no luck.. Sorry to ask but what would be the best way to go, from 1.1.0 to 1.1.1 beta 2 ? I mean, remove 1.1.0 and install 1.1.1 or just copy and paste over the existing files?

PS

Is this setting correct for the Quiz Maintenance? I mean is it supposed to be every hour or once every day?

You can uninstall the previous version then install the new version, the database files are not removed unless you tick the box to do so.

You can choose what you want for the frequency of the maintenance, I cant remember what the default and I cant check as I am currently on holiday away from home.

Thanks mate, I did unistall the old and install the new, but it still say version "1.1.0 © 2009, SMFModding" ... I guess that's not a real problem  :laugh: . That frequency in the maintenance is the default, but I just though that it seem odd every hour, that's all....

Hi guys, here comes trouble.  Kindred, please don't sigh :D

Have had this wonderful mod since 2009 and always loved it.  I have recently upgraded my old forum to the latest release as I decided to move webhosts recently.  I wasn't sure I'd be able to update this - was thrilled to see it installs on a fresh 2.0.11 - wonderful work peeps.

Before I moved - a long time ago, the menu part of the mod displayed funny in the CSS.  I lived with it, but thought now's the time to put it right.  Trouble is, I can't quite work out what to edit.  I noticed this line in the source page view right clicking: <td><div id="admin_menu"><ul class="dropmenu" id="dropdown_menu_1">

But where is the dropdown_menu_1?  I seem to have quite a few css files (and would have thought the quiz.css would have the info in?) Can someone point me in the right direction?  Yes, Davejo, this is another reason why I have been lurking on your site.  I can see your menu working.  On a fresh install I also got it to work.

I have reinstalled mods: Ultimate Profile, SMF Quiz and E-Arcade.  I did use to have SMF Quiz Categories but that won't install after the upgrade.  The database seems to have kept the categories for me as they all showed up.

I have attached a screenshot.  Thanks for any help with this one.

Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: Dave J on January 16, 2016, 02:12:06 PM
The folder 'quiz_css' should be inside '/public_html/Themes/default/css'

Look to see if it's there like the image below. If it's not then copy the whole folder to it.

If that doesn't do try plan B

I can't remember if uninstalling the mod removes the database files or not, if it doesn't then uninstall it and then re-install it and see if that works.
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: CerebralJam on January 16, 2016, 05:29:42 PM
Hi there, yes, my quiz_css folder is within the css folder under  '/public_html/Themes/default/css'

I went to see if I could uninstall it yesterday as the upgrade was in place and mod was only just recently reinstalled.  The database files were safe at that point, but uninstalling now, it doesn't sound the same as how the upgrader worked. Then am I telling the database to drop the files? I would be really sad to lose this.

Looking at uninstall gave me further problems as you will see from this screenshot.  If I could tell where the css instruction actually was I might be able alter it.  Safer than losing it.  Don't want to reset scores or members using it as most members have moved on and site is more of an archive of years gone by than active. 

Looking at the screenshot though, does that indicate something that could be edited and might sort the problem out - never used the 'replace' instructions before.  I don't know how the files they are talking about work.

Looking at the arcade files  - it also accesses both the files that are listed as failed for the uninstall.  I reinstalled the arcade straight after the quiz once I could see it was working.  In both cases I'm concerned that if I uninstall either mod now it will erase the original database files.  The arcade doesn't show any errors in the uninstall list. 

Think the css might be the easiest option but I can't work out where that instruction is?

Annoying.  And thank you.  :)

It's possible that another mod has wriiten before or after the line that the quiz wnts to write to thats why the error comes up. Check those files in the first instance to see if the quiz code is actuallt in the files.

The error that your show with the menu might also be related to the template file, if you haven't done so already, check one by one that all the files are in the correct place for the mod.

As a matter of interest which version of the mod are you using? The version I'm using is 1.1.1 beta 1
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: CerebralJam on January 17, 2016, 11:20:08 AM
Thank you, Dave. 

I installed the latest, the zip says beta2 in SMF Packages on my server, but the actual mod says 1.1.1 beta 1 in installed packages. 

I installed it via the package manager via the 'browse packages' on SMF Moderations.

I will go check all the files again. I'll compare the ones that the Arcade uses as well. This was the only mod I reinstalled after it.

Appreciate your help.  :)

I think... I'm getting closer to the problem!

I casually clicked on my 'help' button today to find it giving me an error where it used to serve up the files no problems...
Quote
An Error Has Occurred!
Unable to load the 'manual' template.



so I did a search here for the error and came up with this thread: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=443279.msg3114911#msg3114911

Now, the advice started by asking the person to check their site with domain/SMF/index.php?theme=1

When I do this, the help files ARE there and the menu for the quiz also works.

Could be something to do with my using Anecdota20bp - back in 2009 Curve wasn't around? and upgrading over the years (a few) then having to do the large upgrade recently? 'If' I can understand what this person did - and I can't - not sure what they mean by remove help files (?)...

But - does this mean, I should uninstall my old theme (Can I make a back up of the css so that I don't have to do all the tweaking again?) then make the new theme based on Curve?  I've forgotten how to do all this stuff but this might well be my issue.  Back then (2009) the choices were default, classic, core, Babylon.

If only I could get my brain to work and 'ding'  :D 

Like this though.

Could somebody babystep me through this painslessly so that I don't fiddle too much and make another fine mess?  Thanks in advance.  I'm feeling light at the end of the tunnel.

You can not use themes for 1.1.x on 2.0.x... period

You can also not use rc2 or rc3 themes on 2.0.x

So... yes, the problem is your theme, and you will have to find another one... and you will not be able to use the css from your old theme.

I replicated this issue on the test site. If I come out of the default theme where the quiz is working as it should then go into the 'Core' theme that menu issues is replicated. So I agree with Kindred that this is a theme suue and not a quiz issue.

This is what I would do.

Find a theme from the list in SMF that is compatible with the SMF version you are using and install it. The next step you can do one of two ways.

1. Then once the theme is installed go through the list of mods you have installed on your site and uninstall and re-install them one by one till you have completed the list, the problem with this is the possible errors you have with the code changes as if you force the uninstall you may be left with redundant code in the files that could cause errors later. If a mod uninstalls with no errors this should not be an issue, obviously another side effect of this route is that it might lose the info related to any database entries the mod has written.

2. If the above doesn't work then you will need to go through each mod and check the install instructions and where they should add code to the template files of the new theme then you will need to copy it over manually.

If it were me I would do this on my PC using Notepad++ and then save them, rename the existing templates on the site you are about to upload and see what effect is has. If it cuases errors then you can rename the original files back to what they were and your site should work as it does now.

Whatever you do it's going to be a long job. Of course I too am just a relative novice at this and there are problebly people out there that will say 'that's rubbish Dave' and give you a better option than I have, whatever happens good luck and feel free to test on my test site as you have been.

regards

Dave

PS. One last thing I have done before is, if you have a spare database you can create on your host and space to do it, create a mirror image of your site but starting from scratch with 2.0.11. When you do this ensure that your username and password are identical for the mirror set up as they are for the old site.

You will need to create a new folder in your current 'public_html' folder called 'mirror' then upload SMF 2.0.11 files to it, once you have donme that got to 'h**p://www.yoursite.com/mirror. When you go there you will go through the setup steps for the mirror site. Once the main forum is installed then add the mods you have on your existing site to the mirror one.

Ensure that you create backup at every stage before making changes as there is nothing worse than changing something that didn't work and it's overwitten an existing file.

Once you have all the mods installed as you want them then introduce the database tables from your current site to the new database by overwritting the existing tables the only table you should not overwrite if you go that way is the 'smf_settings' , I started with the 'members' table first and then went on to the 'messages' followed by the others that had entries in them, not all tables have entries in them. Again this is time consuming and it might even cause errors with the tables being introduced as you working from an old set up, but it seems to me you have few options open to you so I just thought I would share this with you.
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: CerebralJam on January 20, 2016, 07:58:24 AM
Absolutely love your reply, Dave... I can see you have put a lot of time into your answer for me and very helpful.  I also really appreciated that you allowed me to test the quiz install/uninstall on a clean 2.0.11 and see the effect on the database.  Sadly, my old forum did not say - 'looks like you are doing an update ... database safe' :D  So not attempting to uninstall anything on this version as yet.

I had started to build a copy of the site using new 2.0.11 installation (thinking I could migrate it) before the transfer of the old site to new (webhost) servers AND upgrade of the old once transferred. So I do have two sets of public_html directories with my new hosts I can swap around, differently named and how I had been testing it.  Didn't think to test by answering some quizzes and then trying an uninstall so you helped me a lot there.

I can add as many sql databases as I wish and so your suggestion on creating a new database and copying across database  tables is also extremely helpful - especially on an experimental/learning curve basis. 

I love Notepad++ to the extent I even opt to keep the old icon when prompted on every update. Love being able to see the line numbers! 

There is a theme fairly similar to the one I use, built by the same author (Crip) last updated 2013, same name with _205 added, I downloaded this early 2014. Only difference being the top menu/buttons/display and a slightly lighter shade of blue header image (I had painstakingly custom designed the logo to the background gradient, shading in Photoshop to blend in with old theme  - sticks out a wee bit in this newer theme ).  I'm assuming this was for 2.0.5 build. This is the one that works on a fresh install. My headache was going through the css and customising it again - I wanted a shortcut. Couldn't remember what I did back in 2009 - (images/added sub navigation to front html pages etc and where). Doesn't hurt to refresh this knowledge on the learning curve though.

So, at the moment I have

1) the old upgraded site with this very slight niggle of the theme quiz menu (css) otherwise displaying perfectly - which to me was what I was hoping I could correct - everything else works brilliantly so far.
                (As you have said, NOT a quiz fault. And I did recognise that. Was just hopeful that someone who designed/updated the quiz could point me in the right direction with editing.
                But obviously not good now discovering having no help files for forum members!  :D
)

2) fresh install with alternative updated theme (but not completed customisation) that works on 2.0.11 minus the all important info/old database.

Having discovered that the default (Curve) (2.0) gives me back the help files on my updated old forum I started working on installing the alternative theme as a copy of the default renamed, and then customising it again.  The Core theme says default theme of SMF's previous incarnation.



Really, really appreciate all you have said in your post above and yeah, plan in action for positive outcome, even if a long path.  BIG THANK YOU.

One other thing I should mention about using the old tables on the new database is that the paths to various templates and folders on your site will not be correct i.e. file attachments folder will point to the old address and not the new one and therefore would give you an error on the site, the same can be said for the path to the themes too. If you download your complete database, you can open it in Notepad++ and use the 'Replace' option under the search function. If you need to know more just ask me.

Hey, again REALLY helpful information.  I would not have known that. I want this year to study SQL and by creating a mirror site  (assuming this is an independent 'likewise' new install, not connected, but using information from what I already have functioning as a testing tool, with a new database) as you have suggested and using this with Notepad++/ and phpmyAdmin  I can't think of a better way to see how it all works underneath without causing any damage. Understanding paths obviously has been a big problem in just upgrading things and adding things on and off automatically without knowing what it actually does.

Thank you again for such encouragement and giving someone the courage to try things out.  Brilliant!  Happy also to have someone who is willing to give their time in the way you are doing.

I want to say again, because this is the quiz thread, what an incredible mod this is.  A lot of thought has been put into how to create it and make it interactive - even with members being able to create quizzes, not just the administrator.  A great feature for any website and it does show the power of what can be done.  Hats off to original author and those who have taken it on to keep it going and functional with the many advancements of the forum coding over the years.

DaveJo,

Was this ever updated (?)/changed to allow administrators' scores to be counted (especially if they didn't *create* the quiz; but merely downloaded them)?

I love the idea of this -- but, I'm probably the person who'd be most interested in it (and I'm the admin). I don't love the idea of creating another account (because I can't be certain I'll remember to keep changing back) .....

Hi Lemur

Nothing has changed. You dont have to keep changing the settings once it's done though. If you look at the attachment below you will see that in the Quiz/Settings page you can set the ID of the member who you want to be associated with importing the quizzes, once this is done it will remain that way unless you change it.

If you have already imported the quizzes then you will need to create a new member called 'Admin', remember the User ID then go into your cPanel to the 'phpmyadmin' section and change the ID from you to the 'Admin' IDin the database tables.

If you don't want to do that, then although I haven't tried it, maybe you could uninstall all the quizzes and then set the used ID then re-import them again, you might lose the scores but at least you will be able to play them as I do sometimes.

Hope that helps some

Dave

Dave - one other question then (a two-parter):

I haven't installed any quizzes yet; so this is good ...

So - I have a user that is inactive on the site. I can easily use that ID as the importer. My question though -- does that make this inactive user the only one who can access the quiz admin panel? Or, does the overall site admin still have administrative rights over the quizzes and the control panel too (even though the inactive member is the quiz importer?)

No the inactive user will not have admin rights at all, only site admin have access to the quiz admin unless you say otherwise through permissions.

Wonderful! That's perfect -- there's definitely at least one person on my site who will have no interest in this.

I see in your signature - you have quizzes available  (I need to register on your site). And, earlier in this thread, you had a 10-pk of quizzes available. How many packs of quizzes exist currently? Do you (or does anyone) maintain a site where all user-designed quizzes are maintained?

It does sound super-easy, so I expect I will be able to launch it on my site, soon!

Lemur

I cant remember how many pks there are but I know there are in total more than 540 quizzes. You will note in a previous post I mention that you will need to create the categories before you add the quiz packs. The reason for this is so that the quizzes go into the categories when you install them rather than assigning to quizzes to a category later, which believe me is a long process. Of course you dont have to do it that way at all, it really is up to you.

One last thing, only add the quizzes in smallish batches as it takes a while for them to load. If you need any help let me know.

Happy quizing

Dave

PS. You will see on my site that there are inteactive music quizzes, these are not in any of the packs as the require special settings.

I know that normally I answer questions here, but I have a question about a code error that I'm hoping one of you coders might be able to answer, that's if you read this of course.

The site error is

[05-Jun-2016 05:16:07 Europe/London] PHP Fatal error:  Cannot redeclare GetQuestionsData() (previously declared in //public_html/Sources/SMFQuizAdmin.php:1288) in //public_html/Sources/SMFQuiz.php on line 221

It doesn't happen every day but can happen a couple of times a day.

I'm not asking for a fix just wondering if anyone has seen that type of error before and what basically leads to it.

Despite the fact, that this application really gives a lot of joy, it was a pain in the ass for me (I don't know javascript and php) to find out where do you keep still and still untranslated parts. Heh my browser keeps scripts in temp, so I was almost insane when I finally found this script and It's changing didn't worked, not mentioning 1/2 hour break between quizes. Luckily I have my old IE :D

this mod will almost definitely NOT work on 2.1 beta (or 2.1 final, when it comes out...  it would require significant recoding)

Besides, you should not be running 2.1 on a live site... and should not be running 2.1 beta 2 at all, since that has all sorts of issues that have been fixed.

Tried this mod with SMF 2.0.14 and PHP 7. All seemed OK until I went to exit a completed quiz and a popup appeared telling me of a parsing error. The quiz was then shown as uncompleted. This had been working fine on PHP 5.5.  Not expecting a fix, but would be nice to carry on using it.

Hi Dave,

So, it's been over a year, and now, I'm *finally* setting this mod up :)

I downloaded the quiz pack from your site and imported *all* the quizzes in. They all came in just fine!

Now - my two remaining questions (and, hopefully, I won't wait a year to implement these!) :)

1. I want to, functionally, run a league; but I don't want random questions. I'd like to choose a quiz - let the group know "hey, this is today's quiz" and have everyone take that same quiz. Am I able to do that?

2. On your *actual* site, I see a BUNCH of really cool quizzes ("One Hit Wonders" "Beat the Intro") - are those also available to be downloaded and brought into the quiz app?

Thanks again!

Hi Lemur,

The One hit wonders are not part of the package you downloaded because I created those myself and the links are all going back to my site for the music files, there is the matter of DRM associated with them too. If I was the share the files with you I could in theory get in trouble for it.

If you have the time to mess about then it really isn't to hard to do it yourself. If you do go for that type of quiz, that plays music, then you will need an swf player in the public_html section of your site. The one I use is 'player_mp3.swf'. If you want a copy it's attached here. (It's a flash player)

I have added a couple of edited screenshots below to try and help you out, sorry it's not better than that but I'm flying off on holiday tomorrow and have bags to pack etc.

You will see in one screenshot, for the question, I have two folders in a row, you do not have to do this, the only reson I have it that way is because I created a main folder for quiz music, then sub folders for each quiz under that.

Happy creating

I had thought they might be user-generated quizzes ... like a repository of quizzes submitted by other users.

Wow, haven't logged on here for many years and can't believe the mod is still being used and is (to some extent) working. Hope you're enjoying it.

I installed it on my brothers site a few years ago and it's still working, running on 2.0.15

I upgraded to the new version, and now all quizzes hang and will not load.
I don't have fancybox installed, so what else could it be clashing with?

If I recall rightly there might have been issues with Java script...but don't hold me to that, not sure what the fix was as it's so long ago but if you trawl through this thread you might find something.

The mod is not obviously copyleft that I can see though I have no desire to go through 50 pages to see if there was a comment suggesting a licence.
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: Dave J on April 18, 2019, 11:56:22 AM
Its been through two people.

It started with quiz_modder, as everyone knows, who said that Emanuelle could update it some time back that's as far as it's been.

I do know there is a post, in the thread, from quiz_modder giving anyone who wants to update it permission. I'm not aware that Emanuelle took actual ownership of it. So maybe that's enough if someone else wants to have a go.

Just found this fron 11th September 2013

Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: Arantor on April 18, 2019, 12:07:41 PM
Unfortunately it's not really enough in the context we're talking about here.

Software licensing is a horrendously complicated thing (anyone who was here went SMF 1.1 with its custom licence transitioned SMF 2.0 with its BSD licence might have been aware), and its author giving permission to update it doesn't really quite cut it :(

Technically, any mod without an explicit licence automatically falls under copyright law which includes no automatic right to be redistributed or modified. This is tempered on the one hand by the fact that if you upload it with what amounts to a fairly clear implication of 'this will be made available to people' you probably don't have *that* much legal recourse if you come back 5 years later and claim you didn't know and now want to sue everyone for breach of copyright.

Updating is a lot more complicated because you get into the mess of 'this is now legally speaking a work with multiple authors and multiple implied copyrights'. While it's *probably* fine, and the permission being written in-thread does simplify it, it's still not entirely clear cut (e.g. in the event of a vulnerability in a mod causing a site to be hacked) there's also a lack of warranties protecting the original author who in that situation could theoretically be sued. It's... not great. (And also why SMF has a BSD licence, explicitly citing a lack of warranty.)

In practical terms, someone tweaking it and posting it here as an attachment is probably fine, though that's ultimately an SMF team decision (I don't know what current policy is), but this is why current policy is to try to insist on all mods having licences, explicitly to prevent this kind of problem being a problem.

Not sure I understand. When you installed the quiz mod on 2.1, did you install it manually? Do you mind providing a link to your 2.1 website displaying it in action?

Hi,

What is the team's position on this issue?

Did the license go into the public domain or not following the author's statement on this subject?

I tried the package manager using SMF 2.1, only to see a ton of errors show up.

I tried to install it on my 2.1 test site and although I could edit some of the errors the index.css was difficult and when I eventually got it installed (emulating 2.0) there was a database table error, it was at that point I gave up as I didn't have the time to carry on

No, the site is not optimized for mobiles and this will not be done until the final version 2.1 of Smf. It's just for testing.

If you can't use the license, it's useless, you have to start all over again or no sharing is possible.

Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: Dave J on May 07, 2019, 01:39:29 PM
For all those following this thread, I have found the images folder for the quizzes. I have now added this to the download.

        There is a database table included, which will add categories for you also, but only use this on a fresh install, unless you know a way to merge the new table with your existing table. (If you don't merge them you might mess up your exisiting setup, so please be warned)

        If anyone wants to see what the quiz looks like on SMF 2.0.15 then go to the 'Site' link below. It's a test site for the quiz only and guests can see it and go through the categories etc but the games cannot actually be played.

        The reason I did this is to give everyone an idea of what the questions/images/categories all look like before deciding if they want to install it on their own site. Please also note that this is a fresh install on SMF 2.0.15, using the default theme, and has no other mods installed and there were no errors on installation, so if you go ahead and see install failures then it will probably be because the files it's trying to modify have already been changed by other mods. I cannot help you with any install failures.

        A brief walkthrough for the way I installed it all;

        1. Upload the quiz mod and install.
        2. Extract the file downloaded from my host.
        3. Find 'Themes/default/images/quiz_images/Questions'
        4. Upload all the images in the extracted 'Questions' folder on your PC to the site 'Questions' folder and do the same for the 'Quizes' folders to.
        5. Access your database tables and delete the 'smf_quiz_category' table. (I use PhpMyAdmin in my cPanel to do this, yours might be different)
        6. Now open 'Quiz Category table.txt' file with something like NotePad++ and copy everything
        7. Now go back to your database and 'Run SQL query on database' and add the copied table, then click on OK to run the query...this should add those tables to your database. What that will do is add the 'Categories' (including the images) to the quiz.
        8. Now go into the 'Quiz Admin' go to 'Quiz Importer' and start to add the quizzes that are in the *.xml files in the main 'QuizPackagesUpdated05.05.19' folder.

        Once you have added the quizzes they should automatically be added to the correct Category and the whole things should look like my test site.

        I hope that helps some of you to get this Quiz up and running on your sites.

If the author has said it's in the public domain, then it is fine. For anything else (ex: someone taking over the mod), we'd need explicit permission from the author.

The short answer is no. The link in my signature should let anyone who is a member of this forum download the file. I have logged out of FileFactory and it works when I click on it.

If you mean can it be done from a site member who can use the quiz on another site the answer is no only admin can export quizzes.

I'm surprised the option to allow guests to play hasn't been incorporated. I know they're different mods, but SMF Arcade allowed for this and the recording of scores, which I think increased forum engagement back when I had it.
Title: Re: SMF Quiz

The question he answered wasn't the one you asked. His answer related to the download he provided, not whether the quiz mod supports guests.

Thing is, you could always try it to find out...but since it isn't listed as a feature, I'd suggest it probably isn't, and guest anything is fragile since you have no way to reliably track anything.
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: Dave J on May 12, 2019, 04:29:14 AM
 'Study Force' your comment 'guests to take quizzes' I read as guests being able to download the quizzes rather than play them.

The mod does not allow guests to play the quizzes, there is only one permission in the settings for guests and that's to view the quiz only.

3. Instead of just deleting the mod code, I was happy for anyone to take it forward with no caveats from me
4. I am not responsible if people want to use this mod and it exposes any security holes or other issues on their site
5. Happy to state this somewhere else if appropriate and make anything else clear if needed

Hope that may clear things up

All please note that Microsoft 'Edge' will not be supporting Flash from the end of the year. I have also read that Chrome and Firefox will be going the same route. Which means that the Quiz will not work on those browsers. Whether other browsers will work I have no idea.

An update for those who want to install this mod on SMF 2.0.18.

With the creation of 'Ruffle' an alternative to flash it is now possible for everyone to enjoy playing the quizzes again. Adding Ruffle to your forum root and a few template modifications the quiz will work again for all users using Edge or Firefox both have been tested.

I have tested this on my test site today and it's running fine with no errors.

https://www.davejohnson.co.uk/Testing

If you have the quiz installed and you haven't been able to play it since the demise of flash then please feel free to click on the link in my signature. It's a free download with no pups, adverts and no viruses.

The file content will help you to get your existing quiz back up and running or will allow you to install the quiz from scratch.

It contains how to instructions, the original quiz mod file which can also be downloaded form here https://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1650 if you prefer.

I want to thank all those associated with 'Ruffle' without them playing flash quizzes and arcade games would not be possible unless you want to change your browser.
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: Shades. on March 07, 2021, 12:31:07 PM
Just wanted to point out that in your instructions it says
Quote6. Go to your sites cPanel and access your database tables (don't forget to backup the database) and delete the 'smf_quiz_category' table
and then
Quote8. Go back to your database and and whilst in your forum database where the quiz has been installed 'Run SQL query on database' if you're using 'cPanel/PhpMyAdmin' it should be the second tab at the top of the page, it just says 'SQL' click on it and add the Notepad++ copied table into the box provided, you can only use Ctrl+v, then click on OK to run the query...this should add the 'smf_quiz_category' table to your database.

But folks should know that they need to change the "smf" prefix to whatever there database prefix is before running the SQL. Took me a minute to figure that out lol! ;)

Also after playing around and testing I finished a quiz and when submitting a score i get this error:
QuoteAn unexpected parser error has occurred while retrieving data from the server. Please contact the server administrator and inform them of this error.
Although the score WAS recorded!

And then at the top it says "You have the following outstanding Quiz Sessions to be completed:" but the quiz was played and recorded!

Edited to mention: I uploaded with admin account and played with a user account.

It seems that the issue is definitely related to php.

And there was an error on the test site, the reason it didn't show up is because I was regarded as the writer of the question and therefore it didn't try to save the score, therefore it didn't try to run that part of the code.

So it's back to the drawing board.

I am going to remove the link to the mod until I can find out what the problem is and if possible fix it. I might even pay someone to look at it for me. Once I have an update I will re-post here to let you know.

I have changed the 'Readme' text to show the point you raised Shades.

OK all errors are now sorted it now works on PHP7. Thanks to VB who steered me in the right direction

I have now uploaded a new set of files to take in the changes made. As before just click on the link in my signature to download.

The following changes have been made:

1.Readme text updated to make users aware of the possible differences in the database table prefixes. Thanks to Shades for the heads up. I have also re-read the instructions and hopefully made them a little clearer

2. SMFQuizEnd.php code changed to allow quizzes to be saved without the mysql error.

3. Missing 'bar.gif', which was in previous versions of SMF default theme images folder, but now uses 'bar_stats.png' for 'Statistics', 'SMFQuiz.template.php' template code changed to use the same image.

4. In a previous post I mention about my test site. That has now been removed as I have installed the new version on my live site.

==========================

Shades, so you don't have to download the whole thing again, unless you want to, I have attached the 2 files to this post so all you have to do it overwrite the existing ones in your set up.

One last thing I would say is that, as mentioned in a previous post, I am not a coder, I dabble, some may say we are the worst type, but I really like this mod and it seems a shame for it not to be used again now we have 'Ruffle' to make it work.

thanks and regards

Open "../Themes/default/scripts/quiz_scripts/QuizClient.js"

Find: quizStatsOutput += "<br/>You did not answer <font color=\"#F5F54A\">" + timeout_count + "</font> questions in time";
Replace with: quizStatsOutput += "<br/>You ran out of time with <font color=\"#F5F54A\">" + timeout_count + "</font> questions";

Updates:

a. QuizClient.js: Change 'You did not answer 0 questions in time' to 'You ran out of time with 0 questions'

b. Category database table text: There was an issue with category 1 never being populated when the quizzes were installed. It's now been assigned 'Spare'

c. Quizzes: The packs have been re-numbered and I found that the Technology quiz was already in the Transport pack so this has been merged and renamed and numbered. 'Kids' has also been given a pack number.

d. Folder dates: All dates have been removed from the folders. The reason for this is because when updates are done the whole 'Readme first.txt' has to be updated with the new folder names too.

Thanks to Shades for his help.

A new link has been posted.

The quiz has now been checked and double checked for errors.

I have now removed the download link from my signature and put a link to my website where where I have created a category relating to the install of every aspect of the Quiz, Categories and new quizzes that I have made.

In order to download anything from my site you will need to register.

During a quiz session?
You might need to go into the quiz_session table and add a default value of 0 for id_quiz
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: Jotade29 on January 06, 2022, 01:49:12 PM
Hi @Diego Andrés

is it in the quiz_session table? The first thing I have done is check that the id_quiz of ALL the tables are INT, then I have gone to the table quiz_session as you have told me, I have entered the column id_session, and by default I have specified a value = 0, and not it works. If I go into the smf_quiz table it won't let me touch the default of the id_quizz column. The error I get when I go into administration, and I ask questions, fill the question, and when I give to save, I get the wrong type error that an INT was expected.

Might be worth trying

Hi Diego Andrés. Thank you very much for answering, you dont need to check anything... That error jumps out at me because im creating questions without having created a quiz before. I think that if well builds error logs were made, developers would save (dolores de cabeza, que no sé decirlo en inglés)  :P

Hello @Diego Andrés , I havee found a heavy bug. When a user uploads a quizz, it is automatically activated without going through the review status, likewise if I desactivate a quizz, users can continue to see it. Thank you.

I'm not sure which version of the quiz you are using but I have made changes to it over the last year and you can find what I've done to it on my website. All the files you need are there to be able to be downloaded,including quizzes an all you need to do is register and make 2 posts on the site and you can download what you like from that section.

To those who might think I cannot do that the original owner of the quiz code 'quiz-modder' made a post here https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?msg=4027071 expalining that

QuoteI was happy for anyone to take it forward with no caveats from me
.

So I have done that and I have made some changes and it installs on 2.0.18 with no errors and a clean install.

Hi Diego

As promised, here is a list of issues that need resolving. I should add at this point that the quiz works without errors apart from the one mentioned in the fourth issue, which doesn't break anything it's just annoying.

The first issue is that the images are not showing in the Categories. It should look like this

caticons2.png

but it looks like this.

caticons1.png

The second issue is related to the creation of quizzes.

In the first image, you see the current default quiz creation page when you first go to create a quiz.

create quiz1.png

The second image is what the layout should look like, so you can add images to the quiz. The only way to get to see the second layout is by adding 1 question then click on 'Done' and then go to 'Admin>Quiz>Quiz>Quizzes'. Click on the edit icon for that quiz on the RHS, a little pen/pencil (Image 3), when the next window opens click 'Update Quiz and Add Questions' you'll now see that the option to upload an image in to the quiz is present.


create quiz1.png


Notice how the icons are out of the box on the RHS

create quiz2.png

Third issue

On the forum Quiz page you'll see on the left side the box with the 'New Quizzes' notice how the icons are squashed.

new quizzes icon.png

Fourth issue

'Admin>Quiz>Quiz>Quizzes' when on this page you have the ability to create quiz packages by selecting radio button next to the quiz/quizzes. Once you have seleted the quizzes you want to package, then go to the bottom of the page and fill out the required info in the boxes. Once that is doen you click on 'Package Quiz and it creates the quiz package. Following the creation of the package we get an error in the error log as seen below.

package error.png

Finally, not so much of an issue, but something I feel should be added.

On the forum quiz page, there is a button on the RHS 'User Quizzes'. When you click on this button, it opens a page that has all the quizzes that person has created. At the bottom of that page is another button that says 'Add New Quiz'. If the user has created a lot of quizzes, then that button is a long way down the page, and you have to scroll down to get to it.

I think the button should move to the top of the page, which would stop all the scrolling. To give you an idea, on my site because I was the one who imported all the quiz packages I have to scroll through 550 lines of quizzes before I get to that button again. An alternative would to be create different pages with 20 quizzes to a page. I'm not sure which would be the easiest.

Add New Quiz.png

That's it. If you get this far then thanks for reading  ;D

Yes indeed.
Though my time has been very limited so I've decided on first releasing an intermediate version with bug fixes.

Thanks to Dave of course, he's been helping and offering help with this.

Hi Diego,

Another issue to look at if you're not already.

The 'Information Board' at the foot of the main Quiz page has the date aligned similar to a list, this then makes the quiz notices very spaced out in the list. To resolve this I edited:

Themes>default>SMFQuiz2.1.template.php

Around line 972

Find:
<td align="left" valign="top" class="nobr" >' , date("M d Y H:i", $infoboardRow['entry_date']) , '</td>
Replace with:
<td align="left" width="12%" valign="top" class="nobr" >' , date("M d Y H:i", $infoboardRow['entry_date']) , '</td>
See attached images of the changes from before and after

NOTE: For those using the SMF2.0 version, that you may have downloaded from me, you can also change the code to do the same.

In SMF2.0 you will need to edit Themes>default>SMFQuiz.template.php

It's safe to use on SMF2.0 but not 2.1.2.

You should know that in the very near future a new version will be released which works with SMF2.1.2. I know Diego said that back in April, but he has been working on it and it's nearly ready for RC1.

At this time I'll only focus on fixing bugs.
There are no plans to develop the 2.0 version any further, it's feature locked.
In the future a new version (3.0) could contain new features and improvements, so feel free to leave suggestions, just know they aren't getting added any time soon.
Also the repo is now public so feel free to contribute in any way you want to this 2.0 version.

Hi Diego,

The 'Disputes' button issue is still not fully resolved as the 'Delete Quiz Dispute' (1) button is still not working, but I think we can do with out it.

The 'Respond to Dispute' (2) button image (to the far right of a dispute) is sufficient to let the reporter know what has been done about their dispute.

If the responder just uses that button, fills out the text box and presses the 'Send and Remove' (3) button this will kill two birds with one stone, so to speak.

Apart from item 1, I have tested the other buttons and they work and the reporter does get a PM reply to their dispute.

I'm not sure about anyone else but I don't see the point in deleting a dispute without letting the dispute reporter know what action has been taken.

Maybe something to think about for a future update.

That reminds me I must edit that question in 'Pot Luck ' ;)
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: Dave J on November 03, 2022, 04:18:24 AM
Shades has reminded me of an issue with the character limit of the quiz titles.

Way back in this thread we realised that 255 characters is not enough for some questions. (There is at least one question in my question packs that has more than 255 characters)

If you have already installed the latest version or even if you have an old version you can change the character limit as follows.

First thing to do is backup your database

Go to your sites cPanel, or whatever you have, go to 'phpMyAdmin', select your database at the top of the left column.

In the right hand panel look for the table 'smf_quiz_question', see attachments

Now click on 'Structure'

In the next window on line 3 you should see '3   question_text' at the end of that line click on 'Change'.

Now change the value 255 to 512 and then click on 'Save'

You should now have no problems importing, or creating quizzes with long question titles.

Regards

Dave

I have been asked to install the quiz and quizzes on the friends website. The quiz installs fine and there are no errors either in the server log or the smf log.

I can import quizzes no problem with no errors, but as soon as I go to play a quiz I get the errors as seen in the attachments.

Can anyone help please?

Image 'nullerror1' shows what the page looks like when the quiz is selected to be played, there is no quiz info in it at all, I'm guessing this is because of the null error.

I should add that I have installed this on a clean install of 2.1.2 so I know it works OK. I was wondering if it was related to the fact that they started their site on phpBB then went to SMF2.0 now on SMF2.1.2

I have already had all the mods uninstalled and have replaced the 'Sources' and 'Themes' folders with those of the latest full 2.1.2 install package

Hi Diego,

Thanks for working on it.

It would seem that's not the issue. What I managed to do with v2.0 is install it on the forum, then I went about creating a quiz manually instead of importing one. This actually works and the quiz plays and scores as it should.

Further to that I created another SMF2.1.2 test forum on the same server/host as the main site and installed the quiz there. I installed just the quiz and loaded the questions, answers and categories via the database which is the quickest way to do it and they all work fine with no issues. I also did test for importing quizzes and that works OK with the quizzes imported working fine.

I think there is something with the existing site/files that is causing the null error as I cannot reproduce it anywhere.

I'm going to keep working on it
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: Dave J on November 09, 2022, 07:22:52 AM
I have now found out what the issue was and have installed the quiz on the site successfully.

When the quiz is first installed the default 'Import Quizzes as User ID' is set to '1' so there I was installing everything thinking that it was fine.

But what I didn't know is that on my friends website they don't have a member with ID 1 his first ID number is 2 so none of the quizzes installed worked as in theory no member had installed them.

Once I found that, after a few hours of messing about in the database, everything installed just fine and it's all working as it should.

So it's something to look out for if anyone else has the same issue. It was probably because the website started many years ago and was initially a phpBB site and has been converted twice on SMF and lost owners/members over the years.

Maybe you can set something up Diego, sometime in the future, so that doesn't happen to anyone else.

Post by: Dave J on November 12, 2022, 03:25:21 AM
There is an issue with some of the quizzes from my site where the question text is to long for the characters in the question.

The reason is that the database only allows for 255 characters in the question text.

What you can do is use the attached database file to replace the one in your current package.

You will need to uninstall the quiz and the tables via your package manager and basically start again.

If you want to retain any categories you have created then instead of ticking the box 'Remove all data associated with this modification' go into your phpMyAdmin and delete all the quiz tables except the categories one.

Now re-install the quiz with the attached database file in the pack.

Hope that helps.

Dave

NOTE: There maybe a way of making the changes via the database by using the SQL but I don't know what it is. If anyone reading this who has knowledge of how to do that would they please share. Thank you

Diego,

Can you replace the current database file with the attached please? Using Notepad++ I have changed all 8 instances, in the newest file, of varchar(255) to varchar(512).
Title: Re: SMF Quiz

Hi Diego,

We have an issue with new quiz creations.

I found this out after creating a new quiz on my main site.

I have also replicated it on the test site, where I have created a post with screenshot and also I have left the error log in tact so you can see that too..

I created a new quiz, this operation works OK. The only issue is that at the end of the quiz creation, having written all thew questions, you click on 'Done' a window pops up and says 'You are not allowed to access the section'.

It happens no matter what type of quiz/questions you're creating.

My best guess here is that it's to do with the new changes you made regarding the user quizzes delete permissions.

The quiz does actually work once it's been approved but for every time you click on the 'Done' it creates 38 errors in the log.
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: Dave J on January 24, 2023, 08:36:57 AM
Hi Diego,

It seems to me that there is a function missing from the quiz.

If someone disputes an answer there is no notification to admin that this has happened.

I think that there should either be an email or notification sent to the admin team to let them know of this so it can be checked and resolved.

What say you?

It seems to me that there is a function missing from the quiz.

If someone disputes an answer there is no notification to admin that this has happened.

I think that there should either be an email or notification sent to the admin team to let them know of this so it can be checked and resolved.

What say you?

Hi Diego,

Did you ever look into this further?

I've had a few reports a month or so ago that I didn't know about, so a fix for this would be good if you could do it please?

Hi Diego,

More disputes posted and again I didn't know until I remembered to look again today. Would you have a look please?

Dave

Sorry been a bit busy, will try to work on that issue.
If I understand and recall correctly, the disputes work fine. However the issue is that you have to remember to visit this area to check for any disputes, because there's no notification, correct?

Yes that's exactly it Diego, thanks for the reply

Since I'm not actively developing this MOD at this time, I'll likely provide you some manual instructions for this.
It would seem sending a PM to the admins would make sense and it could be simple, or only sending a PM to the person that created the quiz?
Either way I'll try to post it soon.

This should work for you.

Sources/Quiz/Dispute.php
Code (Search) Select
// Otherwise someone is submitting a dispute
$smcFunc['db_insert']('insert',
'{db_prefix}quiz_dispute',
array(
'id_quiz_question' => 'int',
'id_quiz' => 'int',
'id_user' => 'int',
'reason' => 'string',
'updated' => 'int'
),
array(
$id_quiz_question,
$id_quiz,
$id_user,
$reason,
time()
),
array('id_quiz_dispute')
);
Code (Add After) Select
global $scripturl;

// Get the admins
$adminQuery = $smcFunc['db_query']('', '
SELECT id_member
FROM {db_prefix}members
WHERE id_group = {int:admin}',
array(
'admin' => 1
)
);
$admins = array();
while($row = $smcFunc['db_fetch_assoc']($adminQuery))
$admins[] = $row['id_member'];
$smcFunc['db_free_result']($adminQuery);

require_once($sourcedir . '/Subs-Post.php');

sendpm(
array('to' => $admins, 'bcc' => array()),
'New Quiz Dispute!',
un_htmlspecialchars('There is a new quiz dispute awaiting response.

Link to the dispute: ' . $scripturl . '?action=admin;area=quiz;sa=disputes'),
);

Hi Diego,

That worked perfectly, thank you very much.

Is it possible to only have it sent to a certain admin? Maybe the code could be changed to have it sent to just one or even 2.

It's not a deal breaker Diego I was just wondering that's all

Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: Diego Andrés on August 23, 2023, 11:37:49 AM
You can change the query a bit

// Get the admins
$adminQuery = $smcFunc['db_query']('', '
SELECT id_member
FROM {db_prefix}members
WHERE id_group = {int:admin}
AND id_member NOT IN ({array_int:exclude_admins})',
array(
'admin' => 1,
'exclude_admins' => array(1,2,3), // IDs of admins to exclude
)
);

I cannot get the bar graph to show for the Top 10 Quizzes as shown here:
(https://silentblues.com/uploads/missing-graph-bar.jpg)
I cannot figure out why and the only place I know it's not the problem is the Quiz.template.php file, because changing to the original one has no effect.

Looking at the page source code, the bar_stats.png image is showing as a width of 0% and height of the correct 15.

For the life of me, I cannot find where this 0% is being set. Does anyone have an idea?

Also pinging @Diego Andrés

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Checked the database and noticed the quiz_session table is empty. Might help and also might explain why playing a quiz a second time does not record any reference to having done so, or record any stats.

The bars appeared once I played some more quizzes. Although the top one remained blank.

But I fixed it by removing:

elseif ($max > 0)
Still none the wiser why only the first play records results though. Can play multiple times, but only the first time makes a record.

Diego,

I can confirm that the first score is the ONLY score recorded, for some reason the quiz will not record a second score even if it's better than the first one.

Can you help please?


NOTE1: I thought this might be to do with the scheduled maintenance bit it's not as I manually ran that and the scores didn't change

NOTE2: I've just tested the original V2.0 quiz on my test site and that also only records the first score from a quiz, I deliberately got most questions wrong the first time round and then played the quiz again beating my previous score but it wasn't recorded
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: Bandicoot on February 02, 2024, 04:17:18 AM
Found the problem. Figured it must be in either start.php or end.php and it is in end.php

Go to:
Sources/Quiz/End.php

At line 45, find:

if (CheckResultExists($id_quiz, $id_user) == false)
Delete that line.

Every play is now recorded and score is updated.

However, this might be self-defeating, as users will keep playing to increase their score. Setting a play limit of 2 might help, but they still might write down the correct answer from their first run to achieve a perfect score.

A cleaner way is to change the entire code block from line 41:

        // Don't make these changes if the user playing is the creator of the quiz, only kill the session
        if ($creatorId != $id_user)
        {
            // Add result for every play
                InsertQuizEnd($id_quiz, $id_user, $questions, $correct, $incorrect, $timeouts, $total_seconds, $totalResumes);
                UpdateQuiz($id_quiz, $questions, $correct, $total_seconds, $id_user, $name);
        }
    }

That way it removes unnecessary braces and updates the comment line.

The quiz ignores the play limit. the only reference I can find is at:

Themes/default/scripts/quiz/QuizClient.js
Line 479:

alert(textPlayedQuizOverMaximum);
window.close();

Is there somewhere else it is found?

I created an entry in /Themes/default/languages/Quiz/Quiz.english.php

$txt['SMFQuiz_Javascript'] = array(
'PlayedQuizOverMaximum' => 'You have already played this quiz the maximum amount of times allowed',

But this didn't help.
Title: Re: SMF Quiz
Post by: Bandicoot on February 03, 2024, 09:20:39 AM
I tried moving

alert(textPlayedQuizOverMaximum);
window.close();

To various places within the file to trigger earlier and trying if code, but nothing worked.

I don't believe that javascript file "knows" that information.

I have given up since my cPanel file manager says that file:

"Has too many errors. 23% scanned"

I think it's just too old and no longer does what it's supposed to do.

So, I've gone back to the original function of only recording the first play result and users can play as many times as they like, just to see if they can get them all right.

It's a shame, because this Mod has great potential.
