I'm Andrew Shell. I'm a PHP developer in Madison, WI. Currently I'm working for Brazen Careerist and occasionally I do freelance work.
Since I don't post too frequently you might want to subscribe to my site so you'll get updates when there is something new.
Any idea when your Quiz plugin might get released? It is surprising that there are no good plugins for quizzes anywhere on the net – so this perked my ears. :)
Brian, it will be released in the next week or so. I’ll send you an e-mail when it’s available.
Do you have any support available for your Quiz Plugin? I can obviously see how to add questions and personalities, but how do I add point values to each answer, as well as add cumulative point values for my personality types?
As of right now there is no official support channel for the quiz plugin. If you find a bug let me know and I’ll do what I can to correct it. Since this is a side project at work there is not a lot of time allocated to it for feature requests.
What you describe is not currently a feature of the plugin. Each personality type is tied to each of the answers, so when you’re filling out the form for answers, the first answer is the answer for personality type 1. The order of the answers when displayed to the user are randomized but you essentially get one point to a personality type for each answer selected. The personality type with the most number of points at the end is what is displayed, I don’t recall what the logic is when there is a tie, basically one of them is chosen (it’s not random though).
I wish I could offer a stream of new features but at this time there is little time for me to spend improving the plugin.
I hope to get better documentation in place, because I’ve written it so other people can write new types of quizzes that plug into the quiz plugin platform.
Andrew, that brief description of how the quiz plugin actually works helps quite a bit, and is really what I needed. I completely understand not having the time or resource to add features – I just appreciate you sharing the plugin… it has helped me a lot. I think the reason I even asked about it was because the admin GUI of the plugin looks very much like the wbQuiz which supposedly handles weighted values, but of course the backend code is entirely different.
I did find one bug (I think) – have you had any trouble with the generation of the HTML underneath “Share this quiz easily by copying the code below:” ? It’s a useful feature to add, but there’s no code at all showing up on my installation. I could quite feasibly just strip out the text in the plugin to eliminate it, but I thought I’d throw it by you first.
I haven’t seen any issues with the generated html but I’ll look into it and see if I can come up with anything.
Actually, I just found out the deal on the generated HTML… it generates it just great using Internet Explorer, but it doesn’t do it in Firefox. Any thoughts?
