    Hi @Adriano Faria
    Two problems:
    1.  I have image uploaded to quiz settings, but image does not appear in quiz listing.  See example:

     
    2.  How to edit time of quiz after already created?   
    Time option does not show in "Edit Quiz."
     
    Suggestions
    1.  Very minor, but suggestion on wording.  Instead of "Delete Games" use "Reset Games" since that means to start fresh again. 
    2.  Change fa-icons on Start Quiz / Give Up to fa-play and fa-stop.  I think that makes more sense than fa-thumbs-up.  
    3.  When encounter message "You must not leave the quiz tab/browser window" (change browser window), give link to "Play Again."
    4.   Is there a better way of displaying progress bar?

    I think using the automatic IPS attachment settings will work well, since that's something clients will understand.  
    Category images should probably automatically resized as well to thumbnail size.

    Yes. If a quiz has an image, the image path will be in the exported XML. Just export one quiz with image and open the XML on Notepad.
    I do but I don't have any ETA right now.

    That helped, tks. 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.

    Fixes on v1.0.0:
    [ACP > Quizzes > Category > Submissions] Minor grammatical fix: "NOTE: This setting will be overriden if the permission Bypass content moderation? is enabled ..." [ACP > Quizzes > Settings] Type of Content field = Editor WYSIWYG.  But quiz still uses Textarea.   No thumbnail on quiz listing, even though picture is uploaded.  See screenshot.  

     
    Small suggestions on v1.0.0:
    Increase maximum questions per quiz.   Minimum answers per question: allow 2.   Allow owner to test, but not count in score When create question, show as many empty 'answer fields' as allowed by default.   Example: If "Maximum answers per question" = 5, then show 4 spaces wrong answers which I can fill out.  Ignore empty wrong answers when create question.  (Why?  Because it saves me from needing to click "+Add another")    Check if 'correct' answer is duplicated with 'incorrect' answers.   Big suggestions:
    Allow create quizzes on back-end Allow create quizzes using XML import / export Integrate with iAwards by @-RAW- When I looked for example quizzes online, one common feedback is Easy / Medium / Hard.  This might be an example of a 'customized feedback rating'.
    I don't really like the IPS steps.  And that should not stop us from creating quizzes with many questions.  
    Please think about making your own simple counter (eg. "You are on 2 out of 40 questions.")
    This would be amazing.  One bank of questions can create infinite quizzes.

    I have a forum where that would actually be the case. How about if you could link the uploads of a forum to a particular category or album in the gallery (as a forum setting), so that you can set the appropriate permissions there?
    I would like to force the images into the gallery, because I feel that is the appropriate area to have them, so I would disable or hide option to not link the image to the gallery. 
    By the way, can't a user set the permissions in its gallery itself?

    I've just installed the gallery app to see how this could work out for my forums. I have a lot of topics that are 'what did you eat today' or 'show your new purchases' in which members post pictures. Asking them to first upload that to a gallery, then go back to the topic and insert it as an image is just too much hassle if you look at it from a user perspective. Of course as admins, we would want them to do that, but reality is that people are used to post image links or just add a photo from their smart phone and dump it in a topic.
    I would really like to be able to curate this content (even have a setting that would allow me to download images from external links and add them to my own media database). For instance to be able to display a masonry grid with all images posted in the forum. Showing off this content is a great visual and appealing way to show off forum content, which may then again drive visitors etc.
    I am not sure whether the gallery app in its current form is the way to go for me (at least, I do not see the use case), now that the forum topics are really used as the content container.
    I think this is a great topic, looking forward to hear your views on gallery / image content curation and the forum software.

    This is too large of a scope for a single feature suggestion. I'll be starting a gallery review feedback topic in the client lounge this week and we should include this to formulate a game plan.

    I was just trying to find an image a user posted in the forums, and was thinking I could look through their attachments and realized this doesn't exist.

    Maybe an easier solution for IPS could be, to allow us to view a member's attachments the same way we view our own.
    We have:
    My Attachments
    So suggestion:
    View Attachments (of others, on their profile.)
    The same way we view My/Their Activity on a profile.
    This would solve many of the hurdles... you don't need Gallery for this to work, and this covers ALL apps. If you upload an image to a Gallery comment, or a blog, or status, forums... that's an attachment.
    They could be viewed in a Gallery style with lightbox, but the main change here is we can view others' attachments.  
    If we do own Gallery, the system could create a dummy album called Attachments that is just a redirect or mirror of the other system.
    I'm sure permissions could be worked into this more easily as well, if a user posted to a forum or app category you do not have permission to view, you don't see it. But you are literally viewing their attachments so if they ever remove a post or attachment it removes it, there is no syncing with Gallery issue.

    @Lindy since you asked, I would like to know how I can get a list of topics with new (unread posts). When I come to visit the board, I want to know which topics have new replies since my last visit. I don't care for individual posts and I don't understand why I should even see each specific post that has been made. Busy boards can have 1.000+ new posts each day. Do you really expect a visitor that comes back to the board 24 hours later to go through an endless stream of individual posts to see what is new?
    What would you suggest to that user to stop complaining about the loss of overview he had with VNC?

    Donkerrood reacted to chilihead in What is the point of activity stream?   
    @Lindy I like streams a lot especially the ability to stream all content in one list instead of just forums etc. My Blogs are pretty much dead but when I upgrade to 4 finally I am going to jump start them, and then members will realize that the discovery is much better and hopefully they will start using them instead of making "bloggy" type forum posts. Same for status updates, and all content. The method of discovery is much better when I felt like in 3.4 it was hidden (except for forums, which made everyone only want to use forums). This, overall, makes for better social engagement.
    What I think can be improved is filtering the stream you are in instead of creating a new stream. We can set defaults and rely on member creation, and yes, there is edit/update, but 3.4 had the pane on the left where you could filter on the fly. If you can't do live filters, maybe there is some middlegound here. Like, a menu could actually contain member or site defaults (saved by member). Say, top 5. So instead of having the filtering abilty on the left, you have your top 5 presets (streams) readily clickable in the stream. I'm not sure where this would fit layout-wise, perhaps horizontal is best so at the top. But it would save clicks from going to the menu, and also, for perception's sake, creates "filters." Most members will have a few streams they bounce between, and having those right there would be great.
    Otherwise, streams are are great tool and I am looking forward to getting my members to actually use other apps!  
    And as @tekguru mentioned, yes, the first bug he posted needs attention, as well as this bug, and the first unread setting which I believe is coming soon.
    Wish list:
    I would like to reorder streams in menu.
    I would like to set AA as site default (can't, not sure if bug).
    I would like to be able to add the "Likes" etc. to another stream to clone AA but customize.
    Thanks!

    Something to note is, you can go to Gallery, upload an image, return to the forum, compose a post, and select "Insert other media" and select the Gallery image you just uploaded.
    So the idea of integration is there, it is just awkward and takes way too many steps to accomplish, and I don't know any site users that do that. So basically what we are suggesting is, make this possible in reverse, and cut down on those steps, and make what is already possible in 5 steps possible in 1 step, from the other apps.

    I think you've hit the nail on the head! This is exactly how it should work in my opinion. you're really great with process,  WELL DONE!! 
    However, reading into what Lindy had to say, it seems he's concerned about private forums and forums with permissions to only specific groups. He cites "Mental Health". Suppose one of these sites have clients providing sensitive uploads to private forums. (for example a domestic violence site, user submits photos of injury). These users wouldn't want their private domestic violence photos view-able to the entire community on display in the gallery. Do you have a solve for this? Like maybe a check box on upload... "do not show in gallery"? Or maybe images have source forum ID connected such that gallery could respect forum permissions?
    Interested in hearing your ideas.

    Yes, good point. Something like:
    Choose files (upload image) >> "Publish images to this post only or to this post and your Gallery"
    This is also good to have for one-off memes or funny images you don't need to be in your Gallery.
    I think permissions would be too messy, I think it would be best to be user selection. Since I suggested they should not be able to be deleted from the Gallery since they are linked to content, what could happen is, they could remove from view if needed, or "delete" from Gallery but it did not remove it from the content. So you could go through your albums and be like "mmm I don't want that image in my album" (click), gone, but still attached to the content unless I actually go there and remove it.
    Great ideas flowing........

    It's about being able to see the "images" in one place, and an attachment is an image, and a Gallery is a viewing app.
    If a member is always posting food pics in the forum there should be a place to see all those images. If that user had a Food album in Gallery, and when composing his forum post, clicked: Upload images >> Select an album? >> Food, that would be genius. If no selection, it would go to the generic Apps folder in Gallery. Only those with the Gallery app would see the selector, otherwise the images are stored in the backend app folder as discussed above, and enabled if they ever purchase Gallery.
    Essentially attachments are treated as a different animal, but there is no reason they should not be treated the same as Gallery images. And with social media, users expect to see the app images in the Gallery in some sort of way, even if it is simply an Apps album.
