Quiz Menu Entry

Posted by packetbrain on June 24, 2009 at 5:14am

Can someone update me on the status of Quiz as a navigation menu entry?

I saw somewhere that it is being added to the main menu, I think?? I have just loaded it, created a quiz and created a direct link to it... is there a better way? I would like to see a list of all quizzes under a Quiz main menu entry... just like I see all blog entries under "Blog" or forum topics under "Forum"

Im somewhat new to Drupal, so please redirect me to the right answer if it is already here somewhere.

Thanks for all of your hard work on this.... my plan is to use the fivestar module to create a community of users generating their own practice exams - with 5 new questions being the price of entry - automating all this should be fun!

A Simple "How To" Add Your Quizzes to the Main Menu

HowTo to make a "quiz list" page available from your main menu:

Install and enable the "Views" module and give your userID the proper permissions to administer views

Under admin -> site building -> views -> add

name=exam_list
view type=quiz

basic settings
items to display=10
"More link" = yes
Header = (input type = full html) Vendorname - Practice Exam List ( I included some HTML tags also - to suit my display preference)

relationships = Quiz: Quiz Node NID (add)
fields = (node) Node: Title (add) 
    (then be sure to check the box "link this field to its node")   
    (I also cleared out the "Label" text box - personal preference for display) (update and save)
filters = none

now.. at the top, left of the edit view..
select "Page" from the drop down box and click "add display"
in Page Settings
set the path to http://forums.packetbrain.com/practice-exams
set the menu to Normal menu entry (update),
title=Vendor Practice Exams, insert into Navigation menu (update)

click "Save" to make it all take effect

Your menu entry will appear at the bottom of all menus... admin -> site building -> menus -> navigation
drag and drop your new menu entry where you want it and click update

Hope this helps someone save a couple of hours... and thanks to the Quiz development team for all of your work!

     Cheers,
        Ken
