Hello quiz-users and quiz-developers,
I had to make a new ajax_quiz module for my client, which I want to give back to the community. For a preview I uploaded a version which shall work with quiz-6.x-4.0-beta3 into this issue: http://drupal.org/node/701716
Please test whether it works in your environment and give me feedback (please put the feedback in the issue at http://drupal.org/node/701716) what needs to be done to make it useful for more and more people.
First known issues:
* It does not work with quiz-6.x-4.0-dev as of right now, because it seems to be a "moving target". For this I have to familiarize with quiz-6.x-4.0-dev a little bit more in order to guess in which direction this target is moving... ;-)
* At the moment, it is incompatible with quiz-6.x-4.0-beta2, also. For that the reason is known, but I will code that only if there are enough requests for that.
Regards,
raphaelhuefner

Coool!
I'm one of the quiz developers. I'll take a look at the module later today. (If it works) It will definitively be a great addition to the quiz 4 release candidate!
I'm dedicated
I'm dedicated to keep it working and improving, so please report back if (and how ;-) it fails in your installation.
This is only an initial release, so almost certainly there are situations which I did not came to think about yet. By releasing it, I hope for a "representative spectrum of use cases".
And definitely it needs better integration into quiz. You will see what ugly hacks are in there, just for not having to change the source of quiz-6.x-4.0-beta3. This could be remedied by a couple of hooks and lines at the right places in quiz. So, if I think about it, I shall better call it "proof of concept", which better implies that there will still be work to be done until it can be added to quiz 4.
Good
If you know where to put those hooks and lines in quiz, please upload patches and we'll commit them to quiz 4. If not please describe what you need and we'll try to make the changes for you.
When I tested it on 4.x-dev I created a quiz with three questions. The two first of type multichoice and the last of type short answer. When taking the quiz I answered the first question, and the ajax module seemed to replace the first question with the feedback for that question instead of the next question. I was never able to show the next question, but I didn't try very hard either.
(Browser is FF 3.5.7)
If you need more detailed information just ask. It seems you already knew that it wouldn't work with 4.x-dev yet.
check with seamonkey browser and many other mods!
Hi,
I had some terrible experience with the newest module Quiz 6.3.5:
"XML Parsing Error: not well-formed" after installing modules, upgrade, update & ticking new modules

Of course I suppose its a very good module with a lot of great possibilities, once it works...
Because a lot of mess and cleanup and loss of data coincidental came along with this modules errors, I'm not going to test it again..!
But because this subject is about an AJAX implementation, I like to emphasize & ask to check very good if it can´t produce the errors I encountered and people have encountered in the past years with this module on several releases and by different causes?
For sure Seamonkey-browser is more sensitive for these errors and doesn't show anything anymore, while on IE some blocks get messed up or are not shown anymore.
Then many modules can have an interaction that contributes to these errors, as well as the theme Tendu that has some little changes I made (but with no other module causing problems).
Just some suggestions, because -forgive me- I'm not going to try it out to protect my life website and large installation, before I know for sure that these possible years ongoing similar problems have been resolved. Yes I'm eager to be able to implement this module and sub-modules!
