Quizzer1 1.0.01 Beta for testing only.
Download - Right Click and Save
Tested on Snitz 3.4.6 with a mySql db.
Snitz users are needed to download and test my quiz mod for snitz. It's an add-on, meaning there are very few changes to the original forum code. It is also a very easy install, just a few new files to add to your forum folder and a database update to add the quiz tables.
I would like to get the existing features tested and working properly before I try to add anymore.
I will try to update the zip once a week until a final release is reached.
Feedback, suggestions and constructive criticism are welcome.
I'll post Updates Here

What are you, a mind reader  I just setup a new test forum to work on this  . I did quite a bit of work on it last summer, but I got burnt out and quit. Now I feel like tackling it again.
As always any and all ideas are welcome .< |

Hey cripto9t, since we both seem to have a resurgence of spare time, think this little wonder could get a little attention? 
I haven't had much time to really dig in between when I last posted and now. Mostly I'd been looking at attaching it to my current record keeping structure. I've since decided to abandon the way I've been keeping records, and I've been looking at a new format. I'll let you know if I come up with anything remotely brilliant.  < |

I installed this MOD the other day and found it enjoyable to use.
I hope that there is continued development on it!
Very nice work! Great idea! Thank you for the code! Awesome potential!
Sincerely,
Etymon< |

Cool. Let me know when you're back up and running. I'll keep hacking away at it. I'm hoping to be able to tie it into the record keeping code I wrote for our current testing engine.... I'll let you know how that goes.< |

Anon, I havent been able to work on the quiz. Windows is freezing up on my testing machine. I did fix the corrections bug before I got the blue screen blues.
I assign it a value after submission if none is found.
replace this
if chkInput(Request.Form("Quiz_Corrections")) = 1 then
intCorrections = cLng(Request.Form("Quiz_Corrections"))
else
call redirect()
end if
with this
if strQuizCorrections = "1" then
if chkInput(Request.Form("Quiz_Corrections")) = 1 then
intCorrections = cLng(Request.Form("Quiz_Corrections"))
else
screwed_up "Form problem.","Quiz Corrections" 'call redirect()
end if
else
intCorrections = 0
end if
I'll give the last error a look and see if I can spot something.< |

Found another bug - after deleting a question from an existing quiz, the number of questions isn't updated and creates a "Subscript out of range" error when trying to take the test.
I'll dig into the whys and whatfors and try to post a bug-fix.< |

Hey Cripto9t, have you had much of a chance to work on this lately? I've been playing with the code some more and I like what you are doing. I'm trying to get your testing engine to interface with all the record keeping and reporting I built into my testing engine since I need those features along with what you've built into the testing bit. I'll let you know if I manage to get it working.
As to the other issue, I kinda cheated and did this:
Please note, I've converted everything to work with the SB2 CSS that I've been using ever since I discovered that little gem.
Because I'm on a relatively short timetable (i.e. now or sooner) I'm tempted to just take what you've done, get done what I need to get done, and then giving you back what I've put together. But, I also don't want to fork the MOD or get things too far out of sync... you could do something absolutely brilliant and I want to make sure I don't go so far astray that I can't incorporate it.

Found another interesting error... The reason it wasn't working yesterday is because I had Quiz Corrections turned off, but the WriteQuiz() is checking for the Quiz Corrections value even though that part of the form wasn't written out - since it was turned off.
I'm working on a fix...< |

Cool. Hopefully I'll get to play with it some more this afternoon - I'm stuck in meetings all morning, starting in an hour.  < |

Anon I noticed the table prefix thing yesterday and thought I had changed it in the update. It will be in the next update. As for the error messages, I had errors marked before I released it. I'll go through and put in the marks again for testing. You gotta admit the redirect thing is a pretty good deterrent . I tried to give admins and mods an error message instead, but I don't know if I covered all the bases.
runsh, Categories are on the todo list. Right know I'm working on question templates, and I think I've finally got something to build on.< |

One other small suggestion - provide a little more feedback when something errors out other than sending the user to default.asp ... I'm pulling up my new theme song - Metallica's The Frayed Ends of Sanity < |

Got some odd problems, but with so much other custom code it could just be me...
However, I noticed that when you reference the MEMBERS table you are using strTablePrefix, when it should be strMemberTablePrefix - "out of the box" they are the same, and rarely does anyone ever change them... but some people do and it could cause problems.
Unfortunately, one of my co-workers is out sick so instead of programming I'm teaching classes.... hopefully I'll get to work on it some more later this week. =/< |
