SMF Quiz

[emanuele]

I have a soucy with this mod, how to know what does not work please?

PS: I don't have "fancybox", I read the previous posts

I'm really sorry lucy453 I didn't see your message before!
Can you create an account for me so that I can check it directly?

I'd like to allow my members to be able to replay the quizzes after a month -

I know I can change that in Settings with 'Session Replay Time (minutes)' but is there any way I can change all of the quizzes' Play Limits globally rather than one by one? (I have 555 quizzes so doing it individually would be a pain)

At the moment I don't remember exactly (it's a while i don't touch the code) and I can't check, but it should be easy to create a scheduled task to do the same thing once per month.

I'll try to remember, if you don't see anything before next week, feel free to bump the topic.

Unless I've misunderstood, I don't think a scheduled task should be necessary.
There are two factors :
Session Replay Time (minutes) - easily changed globally in Settings
Play Limit - has to be done individually - as far as I can see.

My play limits are all set to 1 - I'd like to change that to e.g. 12 - but globally

(and, I believe that the original author of this mod released the code into the public domain)

Yes, I did

BACKUP your database before carrying out the following. I will not be held responsible for any failures of your site. (Note I have tested this on my own site and it works)


If you have access to 'phpMyAdmin' for your database then open it and click on 'SQL' at the top of the page insert the following into the box

Code Select Expand

UPDATE smf_quiz
SET play_limit = REPLACE(play_limit, 1, 4);

Look at the screenshot below for how to change the values you want.

Once your happy with the new value then press 'Go' on the right-hand side.

I have looked to see if there is a wildcard to substitute for the existing value so you can do them all at the same time but I can't find anything (I'm guessing someone here might have a better solution).

If you have different amounts in the current value then you will need to run the query for each value.

I would like to thank vkot for giving us the ability to add mp3 files to questions. As an update regarding the playing of music files in questions I have done the following.

The code I have added as the question is as follows:

<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="audioUrl=http://the route to your mp3 file&autoPlay=true" src="http://google.com/reader/ui/3523697345-audio-player.swf" ></embed>

Notice I have added the '&autoPlay=true' following the route to the mp3 file, this enables the track to auto play once the button is pressed to start the quiz.

You can create a packge of the quizzes and they will be imported to another site and play without error, but please note that the link created for the track goes back to the site where the quiz question was originally created and is not stored on your site, this means that if the original site goes down your questions will not work (this is for mp3 tracks only, all other imported packages will work fine). I would suggest that you create your own tracks and put them in a similar folder on the root of your domain.


or use the 'Quiz Importer' and add the attached 'test music mp3.xml' below and import it as a new quiz. I have used the 'Multiple Choice' for the 'Question Type' I have also set it for 'Play Limit' 20 just so the question can be tested over and over again with tweaking where it's needed.


PS> It's worth noting that you can use any type of music file you want to, although I've only tested mp3, but need to set the file with the lowest Kbs file setting as possible so as not to increase your storage too much, the antmusic.mp3 file thats being used is 40Kbs and has a size of only 89kb and it's 17.6 seconds long.

Please note that the link

Code Select Expand

http://google.com/reader/ui/3523697345-audio-player.swf is no longer supported by Google.

If you want to still use the audio quizzes then you need to upload a player to a folder/root of your website and then edit the link to h**p://www.mysite/folder/miniplayer.swf

I am using the player attached below

right click 'save target as'

As far as I know the only language that's supported is English. Have a look in the SMFQuiz 'Language' folder to see if there is a 'SMFQuiz.yourlanguage.php' file if not then it's english only until someone creates a new language file for you.

I mean that when i am adding a new quiz using my default forum char encoding (iso-8859-7) greek, when i save it  , title, questions and everything is written in iso-8859-7 (gr) dont show .

Sorry Stelios I have no idea why it's doing that or even what that means.

[stelios2]

I think it doesnt save data in db if its in character encoding 8859-7 Greek 

[vkot]

When you mix latin & greek characters in a question, the latin show up? The greek are blanks? or spaces? or other strange characters? Do you see the content in the database? (with phpMyAdmin) What is the encoding of the database and the tables?

when i mix greek latin nothing shows up ...quiz saves as blank
i see greek quiz in database as blank as well
encoding of tables in db is latin1_sweedish_ci

i have solved the saving in greek questions, titles, answers -  error .. by replacing all the 'utf-8' to 'latin1_sweedish_ci' from SMFQuizDb.php file.

for example:

Code Select Expand

array(
'id_answer' => $id_answer,
'answer_text' => $smcFunc['db_escape_string'] (htmlspecialchars($answer_text, ENT_QUOTES, 'utf-8')),
'is_correct' => $is_correct,
'updated' => $updated
));


made to

Code Select Expand

array(
'id_answer' => $id_answer,
'answer_text' => $smcFunc['db_escape_string'] (htmlspecialchars($answer_text, ENT_QUOTES, 'latin1_swedish_ci')),
'is_correct' => $is_correct,
'updated' => $updated
));

But now when i try to play a "greek" quiz i have "An unexpected parser error has occured while retreiving data from the server"

any ideas ? 

[emanuele]

Not a good idea.

Don't know about the questions already in the database, but try replacing all these db_escape_string with something like:

Code Select Expand

'answer_text' => $smcFunc['htmlspecialchars']($answer_text, ENT_QUOTES),

[emanuele]

Is there in the error log something related?
