I have it running on my intranet site and the users like it.
Download it at http://www.4om.5u.com/snitz/
click on coffee.zip -- the provider doesn't like direkt links --


The most difficult part is keeping the quiz files filled with
questions of your preferred topic


'#####################################################################################
'## COFFEE MACHINE by Thomas Nyffenegger
'## a non-formal extension for snitz-forums
'##
'## Version 01-0416-En for snitz 3.14
'## (english text)
'##
'## Features:
'## after successful answering a TRIVIA-QUIZ question
'## the user gets his favorite coffee together with a quote
'## with statistics of good vs. wrong answers (coffee vs. water)
'## list of the top 5 coffee drinkers
'## cookies and a special results topic allow for one vote per user and round
'## Display all coffees served (date,coffee,user-name,quote)
'## with admin-setup, choice of refresh rate and forum-location
'##
'## Installation:
'## Copy the required files (coffee.asp, quiz.txt, quote.txt, coffee.gif) to forum
'## For SETUP run coffee.asp without parameters as admin
'## the program uses a regular SNITZ topic with replies
'## and an other topic for the high-scores - no database extension
'## If you want to allow unregistered users, you must create a user "guest" and see line 107
'## Multiple COFFEE MACHINES can be active in one Forum
'##
'## With the quotes file it's possible to include a special message line(s) beginning with: !!!!
'## If you put this line 10 times in a file with 100 lines you get a 1/10 chance the line is selected.
'## Selection of this line adds the Username+date to the counts-topic message. I use this to let people win a price.
'## The quiz and quotes are stored as single lines in text files you choose. Quiz is read sequential an quotes random.
'## The quote.txt file may contain forum code - one line per quote. The lines in the quiz.txt file use the * character
'## as devider - do not use the * character in questions or answers.
'## syntax: good choice number*question*choice1*choice2*choice3*.....

I have no external forum running to install the add-on.
The link in the topic has been changed to work now.

I set up the coffee add-on and it worked... If I used the link after I added the new quiz. I went through the forum (ex. cat1..topic1..quiz1-counts) I get this
quote:

The following lines are 'Todays Quiz !' parameters. Be careful when editing !!
For resetting the high-score better create a new machine.
(topic-ID,refresh,quiz-line#,quiz-answers(max),quiz-file,quote-file,all-OK,all-W,this-OK,this-W)
*3*24*1*4*quiz.txt*quote.txt*0*0*0*0


on the ...-counts post should there be a link to the ../forum/coffee.asp?IDx

in short how is the user going to get to the quiz.

After I make the quiz the two post in the topic are:
quiz1-counta
quiz1
Is this correct?

last bit of info I have a few mods installed in the topic.asp file could that be it?

So fine. After the setup - you'll have to install a LINK on the front-page for the user. The two machine topics I have placed them in a hidden, admin only, forum.
The link get's the URL .../coffee.asp?ID=xxx
as it's shown after the setup ( xxx = the id# of the counts toic)

This is a terrific addition to our forum but I have one question.

The hour interval for refreshing the quiz was set to 22 hours. When the setup was complete, it says 12 hours a new quiz will be available. How do you set this time interval after it's been installed and why didn't the 22 hours hold in the first place?

This is a great addon but I can't get it working properly. If I install it using a link in my inc_top then every 22 hours that link becomes dead and I have to update it or it's useless. Also, I get the same problem with the quiz posting the same stuff that a previous poster has stated. Any solutions and this would be a great addon...in fact I think you should make it a fully fledged trivia addon as that would be really great. My users love it anyway, and go nuts when the link dies!
