• Fixed stats issue when there are no quizzes/questions created.

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

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.

• Prevent non creators from managing other users quizzes.

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).

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.

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?
