it’s not possible for a user to select several answers

closed

Hello,

Thank you for your great work.

I’m currently testing your plugin.

For some quizzes, multiple answers are needed. Apparently, it’s not possible for a user to select several answers? Unless I’m not configuring the quiz correctly.

I’ve identified some possible improvements. I’ll let you know.

for example: 

– Display in the quiz, the question number relative to the total number of questions; so the user can see his progress in the quiz.

– Option to define global question-by-question pagination without having to do it for each question in the quiz. 
This allows the quiz to be used with pagination or to display all questions at once, if needed.

– There’s a bug with the timer. It doesn’t seem to be working.
Normally, when the time runs out, we move on to the next question.

Thank you for your reply.

Hi Kicca,

For some quizzes, multiple answers are needed. Apparently, it’s not possible for a user to select several answers? Unless I’m not configuring the quiz correctly.

You need to use one of the “select all that apply” question types. This question type is only available for General/Scored quizzes.

Display in the quiz, the question number relative to the total number of questions; so the user can see his progress in the quiz.

I doubt I will ever add something like this in simply because from a design perspective, I would need to be very opinionated, and I know I will get of support requests to change or customize it. I just don’t feel that it’s worth adding as a dedicated feature when you can always just add a question total before the quiz yourself.

Option to define global question-by-question pagination without having to do it for each question in the quiz. 
This allows the quiz to be used with pagination or to display all questions at once, if needed.

Something that I’ve been wanting to do for a long time is add “global quiz settings” to the settings page. Anytime you create a new quiz, it inherits the settings from the “global quiz settings”. The reason it’s not already a quiz setting is because I don’t want to confuse people with my hated WP pagination feature, but maybe I’ll have to rethink this.

If you’re willing to make a small edit to the plugin (and continue to make the edit each time you update), you can force pagination for all questions by editing ./includes/functions.php. On line 290 you will find

 

           // Paginate
            if ($question["paginate"] === "yes") {
                if ($i !== 1) {
                    hdq_print_jPaginate($data, $question);
                } else {
                    hdq_print_jPaginate($data, $question, true); // start quiz text
                }
            }

Removing the outside if statement to remove the check to see if pagination is enabled:

           // Paginate
         if ($i !== 1) {
hdq_print_jPaginate($data, $question);
} else {
hdq_print_jPaginate($data, $question, true); // start quiz text
}

There’s a bug with the timer. It doesn’t seem to be working.
Normally, when the time runs out, we move on to the next question.

I’m not aware of any bugs with the timer. If you can please explain your quiz setup, or better, provide a link with the bug, I’ll try and replicate and fix ASAP.
