My suggestion is a block for the main category list to display the global rankings, i.e., the rankings for all users for all quizzes, showing the same data that is already displayed at the ranking for each quiz, plus the name of the quiz. Thanks! I thought in do something like that but it doesn't make much sense. A top ranking wouldn't reflect the truth because one quiz can have 10 questions in 5 minutes. Another 20 questions in 10 minutes. Or worst: 5 questions in 3 minutes, etc.
November 16, 20168 yr @Adriano Faria I see... But here all quizzes have 10 questions... But anyway, I understand why you haven't done it.

November 16, 20168 yr @Adriano Faria I think that is a terrific idea. I even have a name for this block: "Hall of Fame."

If you have a quiz in the same exact order of questions, people can develop "muscle memory" of knowing the right answers based on when the question is coming up. I know you randomize the answers (which is great, I don't think v3 even did that), but people with good memory will begin to learn the order of questions. I think it's important to build as much randomness into the quiz as possible. That's why I also support the suggestion that you allow (for example) people to build a "test bank" of 200 questions and you build a quiz of 10 random questions from the bank.

In the future, this is something I want. Not only that, but an integration with Commerce. Because this would create the perfect solution for the certification project we have on our website. Instead of having a separate system doing this, we would have everything integrated: The user who wants to take the certification quiz pays it through Commerce He takes the quiz, which will be comprised of x questions randomized and pulled from a pool with hundreds or even thousands questions If he reaches the minimum approval mark, he gets his certification, meaning that he is moved to a new usergroup (e.g., Certified Users) This is the basic idea. However, this is a hell of a job, and I don't expect Adriano to add all those features, but I am willing to pay him to do this as a custom job whenever we are ready to move on with this idea. 19 hours ago, Noni said: I do also need the option to import questions / answers I created a PHP script for importing the questions/answers that we had from the custom system we had running before.
November 17, 20168 yr Author The Commerce integration is something I already have in mind. The problem is the import tool. This absolutely isn't so simple as people think it is, due to how I've built things (questions, answers, etc.) and will take some time to get it done.

I don't know if it helped but @Mikey used an XML import / export in his v3 quizzes. It was pretty good actually.

The doubt was really about the file "XML format" I should receive... but I guess this is not my problem. I mean, my app will accept a specific XML structure. If it's right then things will be imported. It is like import a theme: it HAS to be in a valid "theme" format. Already started: Export is done. Will try the import during the weekend.

November 18, 20168 yr Author 3 hours ago, Joel R said: Just remember to give a default template for us to use Oh, you mean the XML "template", right? If so, it will be on documentation but it will be something like that: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <export> <quiz> <title>Testing a New Quiz</title> <questions> <right>AAAAAAA</right> <wrong>BBBBBB</wrong> <wrong>CCCCCCCCC</wrong> <wrong>DDDDDDDD</wrong> <wrong>EEEEEEEEEEEE</wrong> </questions> </quiz> </export> This is the exported... It will be the same to import.
November 18, 20168 yr How about multiple correct answers? if they are not all marked during the quiz, no points are received. is the quiz able to display photos? I intend to use it for motorcycle license questionnaire

November 20, 20168 yr Does the xml import / export support adding images to quizes? Edited November 20, 20168 yr by Noni

November 20, 20168 yr 50 minutes ago, Noni said: Does the xml import / export support adding images to quizes? I don't really understand how you can support adding images since the XML file is ... just a text file. It would need to somehow references images (either via URL or in the same upload folder).
November 20, 20168 yr Author I can add the image URL in the XML and "upload" it via URL. Not tested yet but should works.
