We've never had a decent quiz module for Xoops. Quiz pages are great for building and maintaing traffic on sites. Everything from personality quiz to predicting the end of the world can be made into quiz that interest users.

Just poking in a JavaScript makes your site look so unprofessional. The script needs to fit well within the overall appearance and theme of your site.

Here are some links for Javascripts:

http://javascript.internet.com

http://javascript.com/quiz/

http://javascript.about.com/library/blquiz.htm?once=true&

http://www.midnightbeach.com/jon/QuizMaker.html

--------------

I realize I can just put a Javascript in my code, but getting a fluid install that complements my theme is another set of problems for this guy.

If a dev with theme skills could take a look at some existing Javascripts and build a mod for quiz that would be a good addition to Xoops.

By using Javasctipts the updating would only require changes for theme and core issues.

Thanks - Happy Halloween

was the Javascript the trick or treat part of the message

Formulaire could supplement the need temporarily, it just won't add up the results and give you statistics.

Are you reasonably OK about hacking a little bit of code together? If so, use the XBS ModGen (find on this site's downloads) to create a module and then edit the user side page(s) to add in the javascript generation.

1/ create a module with a user menu.
2/ do not add anything else to the module (eg menu items, tables, blocks etc)
3/ generate the module
4/ edit the new module's index.php and templates/mytemplate.tpl files to accomodate the javascript that you want to use. Follow the jscript's producers instructions for including the code into index.php in the place indicated by comments in that script.
5/ install the module as per normal

That should take you about an hour (the bare bones module shell just took me 90 seconds.)

Now of course if you then want to use XOOPS to set up the questions and control language strings etc, that is going to take a bit longer but in the meantime you 'll have a working module.

... very nice answer, ( under working conditions ,I would so much like decisions like yes or no ) ... providing solutions is the best, thanks for this.

(everything is temporarily hypothetical for me)

I need a quiz module that allows webmaster to build a quix with multiple choice and Yes/No answers. The correct answers have a pre-set value, which is accumulated as the user progresses through the quiz.

WHen the quiz is completed the user will receive a narrative response, which results from the accumulated sum of the pre-set values for correct answers.

There are a number of pre-written narrative responses.
