quiz questions bulk import script

Posted by sivaji_ganesh_j... on April 16, 2009 at 10:54pm

As a student representing my college, I am organizing an online quiz on open source for a group of five colleges on 18 April 2009 which has more than 100 questions. I was lazy to upload question manually one by one so i wrote a quiz_questions_import script based on this article http://acquia.com/blog/migrating-drupal-way-part-i-creating-node. Bulk question import is a something often often asked feature in quiz issue queue so like to share this script with you guys here.

My First Patch to Quiz Module

Posted by sivaji_ganesh_j... on April 14, 2009 at 8:35pm

Hello folks,

I am Sivaji a computer science engineering student from India/Chennai who has applied for soc2009. My project is all about enhancing existing Drupal Quiz module. The existing quiz module (version 2.x) is fairly simple, it lacks many functionalities (timer, gradebook integration, cvs question import etc) that an academically oriented quiz engine expected to have.

DrupalCon DC BOF?

Posted by mbutcher on January 30, 2009 at 6:40am

I'm thinking of hosting a BOF for Quiz in DrupalCon DC. Anyone interested?

I've got a few things on my mind, and would love to get some input. I'm trying to make a mild change to the modules that will allow us to rapidly add several other question types (Multiple choice and long answer are already supported. I want to add fill-in-the-blank, short answer, T/F, and others.)

Input on Views integration, reporting, and the most desirable new features would also be appreciated.

Quiz 6.x 2.1 is ready

Posted by mbutcher on December 1, 2008 at 10:13pm

Version 2.1 of the quiz module has been released.

This fix includes several minor bug fixes. No security fixes, features, or api changes were made for this release.

To find out more, head over to the project page:
http://drupal.org/project/quiz

If you are running 6.x-2.0 or an earlier 6.x version, you are advised to upgrade to this version to benefit from the stability improvements.

Where are we?

Right now, Quiz 6.x-2.x is in maintenance mode. Bugs and security issues are addressed, but no new features are added.

Finally audio and video in multiple choice question

Posted by DigitalFreak on November 6, 2008 at 6:53pm

After investigation for 3 days, finally I am able to show audio and video in a question within a quiz!

What I used are D5, Quiz 2 module, Upload module, SWF tools module.

enable Upload module
install SWF tools module, please follow the install instruction here http://drupal.org/node/303203
and if you got a question about swftools , please go to the FAQ here http://drupal.org/node/318728

Drupal 5: Quiz 5.x-2.x-RC1 has been removed

Posted by mbutcher on October 30, 2008 at 8:54pm

I've never done an UNrelease message before....

The short version: I have just removed Quiz 5.x-2.0 RC1 from the list of downloads. For D5, use Quiz 5.x-1.1. Only the D6 branches are currently under development. All D5 development as stopped.

I inherited the Quiz code base relatively recently, and have been working to get a D6 port of this venerable module released and polished.

Quiz 6.x 2.0 RC 1 is ready

Posted by mbutcher on October 20, 2008 at 7:02pm

A release candidate for Drupal 6 is now ready.

This marks the end of all new development for Quiz 6.x-2.0. Only bug fixing will happen on the release candidates and further releases.

Why two releases in one day? I thought the last bug might be difficult to find and fix. Turned out to be a two-line fix. Sorry for any inconvenience the rapid upgrades caused.

Quo Vadis?

Where are we going from here?

If no bugs are filed against RC1... it will be re-released as Quiz 6.x-2.0.

Quiz 6.x 2.0 Beta 1 is ready

Posted by mbutcher on October 20, 2008 at 4:22pm

With a few more bugs resolved and new Views 2 RC5 support, I have created the first beta release of Quiz 6.x-2.0.

The only bug keeping this from RC1 status is #298046. There is a chance that I might just defer this until 3.0, as it seems to be a non-standard use of quizzes to add comments to the quiz node. But I'll give it a shot first before putting it off.

Released: Quiz 6.x-2.0-alpha1

Posted by mbutcher on October 9, 2008 at 5:27pm

Since the 5.x-2.0 version of quiz was very nearly ready for production, I would like to get the 6.x-2.0 version into production very quickly.

I have just released the first alpha version. Please file bugs against it. Make sure the bugs are detailed, relevant (e.g. not really feature requests), and specific. If you find two bugs, please post two issues.

Note that the module has been reorganized significantly in the last few days. New files have been added to make use of the D6 menu and theme system enhancements while reducing overhead.

Drupal 6 Status

Posted by mbutcher on October 6, 2008 at 8:05pm

I'm hard at work porting Quiz to Drupal 6. As of today, development snapshots are available for download.

The goal is to finish Quiz 2 on Drupal 6. Since Quiz 2 was in RC testing on 5, it shouldn't be a long development cycle before we hid RC status on 6. Then I will do a stable release.

As I go, I will incorporate bug fixes that make sense. But since the priority is to get a D6 port done, some of the outstanding feature requests and lower priority bugs may not get addressed for a while.

basic install

Posted by jpritikin@drupal.org on September 8, 2008 at 4:32pm

Hi! I'm trying to get quiz working.

I tried to the simplest possible quiz I can imagine. I created 2 questions and 1 quiz. I enabled "access quiz" for anonymous users.

To test this, I logout and browse to the quiz node. Once I finish the quiz, how do I restart it? If other anonymous users visit the quiz, it doesn't seem to restart. Is there a restart button somewhere? Does quiz only work with users that have accounts?

Quiz 2 for D5

Posted by marcus_clements on July 23, 2008 at 12:25pm

What is the plan for Quiz 2 for Drupal 5?

At the moment I am experimenting with Quiz as a system for assessment in the online course I am developing. Assuming I choose quiz over webform or CCK then I will be happy to bug-fix and add functionality which can be contributed into the project. Because of the current state of contributed modules in D6 I think it is better that I stick with D5 for the first rollout of this service allthough I may be convinced otherwise.

A new interface for quiz creation

Posted by westwesterson on May 27, 2008 at 12:25am

Hey gang,
started today on an idea for a new idea for the future of the interface of quiz creation. The current problem is that the interface for quiz right now is really hard to follow and complicated for most users. Result Options are unclear. No body can figure out how to create a personality quiz, etc. This is a first attempt to make the interface much easier to use. And much more straightforward. So far this is basically an idea, and not a reality, but feel free to post your ideas. I can't tell you a timeline on this as my time is very limited, but here is my initial idea for a new interface.

This is only the first few steps, there is more to come.

Step 1: Quiz Creation - The initial create quiz node
Step 2a: Scored Quiz Options (simple summaries) - The default view for scored quizzes
Step 2a: Scored Quiz Options (advanced summaries) - The view that is seen when advanced summaries is checked for a scored quiz
Step 2b: Personality Quiz Options - The default view for a personality quiz
Step 3: Not done yet... More to come

Redesigning result options.

Posted by westwesterson on December 17, 2007 at 7:33pm

The idea of these new quiz results are great, it enables users to create quizzes on their sites which have a range of goals as opposed to having one goal when taking the quiz. Configuring tests to use this, is confusing, and maybe even broken. There should be an easy to define path to create quizzes with result options instead of pass fail.

The quiz module development group

Posted by westwesterson on December 1, 2007 at 7:31am

I have created this group as an idea group for the quiz module. I hope to toss around new ideas and see what people think about the future of the quiz module (past quiz 2.0 which should be coming relatively soon.) I thought it best to start out the group with a list of ideas that I have had for further development in this module. I have created the list as a wiki page, and I hope that people add their awesome ideas to it. (Please keep the core focus of the quiz module as robust for as many people as possible in mind.)

Quiz development ideas

Posted by westwesterson on December 1, 2007 at 7:26am
Last updated by renu_mughal on Tue, 2008-04-15 08:52

This is a list of features that it would be nice if quiz had. These have no time-frame on them and are purely speculative, but simply a listing of what might help quiz along for future development. Note that the nature of this stuff is to change over time, and these are speculation, and may never be actual modules.
