3.0.7 was release yesterday morning to address this.

This will be standard in 4.1.18.

Which layout? The dimensions are for the quiz view. The rest is a 100x100 thumb. 

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 know @Adriano Faria you've already initially considered this suggestion, but I feel like this is an especially important suggestion.  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.  

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

Unless I make one listing only who graded 100, regardless the quiz. Reasonable?

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.

Honestly, the answers are randomized and I think this is enough. Some people will want to follow a logical sequence and randomize it will break it, then those users will complain. Before you ask, I really don't want to add settings to every little tiny thing. That's boring and makes the app usability complicated. Especially this one that would have to be a "per quiz" option and not a global setting.
Maybe in a future version. Don't promise.

For all the people who are following this topic, the layout/style issues I had is solved by clearing the cache, it was a CSS caching issue.

Is there a way to preview the quiz you are working on?

Next version, you, as the submitter, will be able to play the quiz. Your score will not be taken into consideration. 
For the current version, you can go to Manage Questions & Answers and see all questions and answers. There's nothing else to view beyond that. 

I've done that successfuly on my board, FYI.

If the quiz is updated, I show the update date. If not, the creation date, just like Downloads, Gallery, etc. Does it need to show both dates? 

Gabriel, I believe your date format is breaking the layout. See how it appears on my live (offline) board:

Then I changed the date to another year (like yours):

Below is how it is used on Forums app:


They are pretty much the same.
I confirm the submitted date. I'l keep it if the quiz isn't updated. When it is, then I'll show the update date.

@Adriano Faria A few tweaks to the main page are necessary, please see the attached screenshot. (I have it set so only admins can see the app while I am still setting it up. As soon as I make it live, I will let you know, so you can see what I am talking about at a live install.)

@Adriano Faria I was able to add an image to the question by simply adding the HTML code to the question. It worked fine! See screenshots.

@Adriano Faria Thanks for all your replies and explanations. Thank you specifically for providing the fix for the sorting issue. As for the language strings, I was translating everything and I found those empty strings and reported them; I didn't know they were empty in all apps! Thanks for the explanation!

Not sure what is the issue here. This lang exists but it is empty indeed. It appears here:

It is empty in all apps, official and most of 3rd-party apps. See:

I mean, you can add something there if you wish. Example:
'perm_quiz_perm__label' => "Category Permission", Will result:

Not necessary, IMO.
Same for this one. It is empty in all apps, otherwise it will add a text above the checkbox:
'quizz_auto_follow' => "SOMETHING", 'quizz_auto_follow_suffix' => "Notify me when other comments are posted", Results:

My bad. If you don't want to wait for the next version, download and edit applications\quizzes\sources\Category\Category.php. Find:
/** * Get order by * * @return string */ public function get__sortOrder() { return $this->csortby; } Change to:
/** * Get order by * * @return string */ public function get__sortOrder() { return $this->sortby; } I'll add options to sort by number of QUESTIONS and number of PLAYERS in next version.

Descriptions only as stated in the setting: content field.
That's not a bug; that's how it was designed. It's a text field, not an editor. 
-----
Sorry guys, this (and the steps) won't change, at least so soon. Basically a total rewrite would be required in questions/answers form. It may seems a simple form but a LOT of things runs behind that. This is something I'm really not ready to do right now. 
Images and other quizzes types will come in a future version. 
I'll check it.
I will give a week or so to release a version to fix those issues, unless something big appears.

That's the same bug I found.

@Adriano Faria I've just found the second missing string:  quizz_auto_follow
