SMF Quiz

[Peyj]

Wouldn't it be cool if admins and mods could create quizzes for the users to try themselves? With highscores and maybe the winning user would get +karma or something? Sinan talked about developing one in http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=239761.0 , but I cant find anything more on that subject so I re-propose this mod, kay?

[d58e7]

Yeah that would be a nice mod to have, especially if it's a forum for a fansite.

[Nathaniel]

That would be very nice, I'm looking at making some quizzes for my SMF website, so I will have a look into this Mod. Maybe we could start brainstorming what the mod would need?

At the moment there is the list of stuff from [SiNaN] that it very useful:
- Quiz categories
- Unlimited number of quizes
- A panel to control quizes, add questions, choices etc.
- A stat panel showing users' success.

[d58e7]

Maybe a stat bar under karma for defining the user's quizing ability

[Charles Hill]

Should include a class of quiz:  Questionnaire.  The purpose of which would be to gather information not test users' mental agility.

[Marcus Forsberg]

Maybe support for SMFShop so that the winner gets XX credits for the Shop?

[d58e7]

Yeah if it integrated with SMFShop it could be really useful as people would be more likely to use it

[d58e7]

Well in theory couldn't it use the same system that makes polls but rather than make one poll create multiple polls with distinct correct options possibly by having a checkbox next to the poll option? Then on the final entry section it could have what the reward is with a dropdown box and a value box.

I have no idea how to code something like that, but that's how I see something like this being implemented.

I have been looking for a Mod of this style for a while, SMF uses a database to run, but I have 4 free databases available from my ISP, i would like to see a mod that can utilise one of them to run a Quiz addon mod, keep track of my members scores and hold the questions... I am not a programmer and therefore have no idea where to start..... But yes, I think this would be a most popular mod to have...

[Nathaniel]

This is a mod which I will definitely look at making, but not for ages. I might end up making it only for SMF 2 RC1 or something, it depends.

[Perochak]

yes, it will be helpful for me I will use to create my VU quiz system.

[Sun11]

This is really a kool idea for a family community or something, maybe a contest with most right answers..., really good idea

[Nathaniel]

I think that [Sinan] is having a think about it, I might wait until he has decided if he's going to do it or not. I am not that enthusiastic about it. But I do need to do a similar thing for my website.

[Perochak]

Could it be like WPQuiz http://www.wireplastik.com

[Angelotus]

I would like such a mod to for my website!

[dwd2000]

I would use it too.

[geo32101]

Anyone know if this was created?

[dwd2000]

Not created yet.

[[SiNaN]]

We can code it with LHVWB when we will have some free time probably. It would be a good feature for my site too.

[quiz_modder]

I am going to look into this one, please submit any suggestions here

Thanks

Also looking for anyone with a little free time to test out when I release early versions to that site. If you are interested in helping, please reply at

I registered and tried to reply to the forum you specified and got an error message saying I am not permitted to reply.

Whoops, I had turned off posting on the news forum, should be ok now

A VERY early release of the SMF Quiz has been installed on my site - you will need to register on the site to test it properly.

All comments welcome

Very nice.
How do I get a copy for my beta site?
The only problem with non-multiple choice questions is spelling.
I tried the "Who Are They" picture quiz and got some wrong due to wrong spelling. (no capital letters, etc.)

Maybe under user post count, or on their profile page too?

[quiz_modder]

Thanks, feedback might be better on the smfmodding.com site.

The question types where it is not multiple choice will obviously require spelling, but you don't have to have non multiple choice questions on your own forum. The case should not make any difference, as it compares the two when they are converted to lower case.

The more people I get to test this on the smfmodding site the quicker I can get something completed and out there for others to use.

Cheers

[Hiver101]

i love to see this mod rocken...

[quiz_modder]

Version 1.0.2 of the Quiz has been installed on the http://www.smfmodding.com site for testing prior to release. Please review and provide feedback. The major change in this release is the introduction of quiz leagues.

[Dzonny]

is trere mod for this created?
It looks nice..

[Paracelsus]

I think it is good enough to be released.

Is it going to be exclusive to 2.0? (I would like a 1.1.7 release in my case)

[quiz_modder]

I am currently making changes so it can be released via the SMF site. At the moment there are only plans for SMF 2, as there would be too much effort to maintain over both versions.

Ok. I would be pleased though to have a "legacy" version for 1.1.7 even if that meant lack of support for that version, but I understand your point.

Once i installed, i get this error

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare parseleaguemessage() (previously declared in /home/anixekai/public_html/testforum/smf/Sources/ScheduledTasks.php:733) in /home/anixekai/public_html/testforum/smf/Sources/SMFQuizAdmin.php on line 348

[emanuele]

Easiest way to solve it should be to open SMFQuizAdmin.php, then look for:

Code Select Expand

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:

Code Select Expand

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 for that kind of questions.

[Kindred]

heh...  emanuele,

I'm not super familiar with the code, but shouldn't that be

if (!function_exists('ParseLeagueMessage'))

Also, Eric... and emanuele said, please use the mod support topic...

[emanuele]

How picky you are!

Yep, you are right.
