(AAaaaaggggHHH!)

Okay. Just had to let that out. Believe it or not, I have been at this computer ALL day, trying to find out either how to create a quiz or if there are any wordpress plugins for them. Every link that I have come across for a wp plugin is no longer valid and trying to do it manually has certainly done my head in.

If anyone can help, PPleeeeasssse send it my way! I think for today, I am done. My butt is killin' for sitting too long so I'm goin' for a run!

Thank you in advance!

I did a Google Search for wordpress survey plugins and found SurveyGizmo. It appears to have been updated recently to work with PHP5, so it *should* work with WordPress 2.5.

If you have a list of others you tried, let us know so we can help find one you have not seen yet.

(Hope your run helped.) Very Happy

Hi Jim!

The run was Great - very much needed! Thanks for that, although it's not exactly what I was after. I downloaded it and checked it out, but what I need is something that can help me create quizzes preferably for free as my budget is low. Although, now that I've got that it will come in handy at some point!

I cannot remember all the sites I came across yesterday, but the following site kept coming up and was recommended by every second person...

http://kanslozebagger.org/wbquiz and when you click on it, it comes up as Not Found

Thanks again for taking the time to check it out.

Cheers,

Kimberley

I searched Google for wpquiz and found a description and an active download link on
TheWestBrooks.com

That what you are looking for?

Alrighty,

With more digging, I've come across this site...

http://www.datingdiversions.com/tutorial/page1.html

I've followed the instructions and have successfully made a quiz...well the questions part and am having trouble with the scoring part - the php scripts.

If you have a chance (or for that matter- anyone else reading this!) could i trouble you to check out the instructions to see what I'm talking about? I just want to know where do I put the php script and is what is shown complete or have they left something out?

I tried contacting them but to no avail.

Thank you!

Okay. I have followed the instructions for wbQuiz to a tee and it is still not working. I even re-installed it and started again. Don't suppose you have any ideas?

Thanks again for all your help!

When you say not working are you seeing anything at all? Are there any errors?

I saw an update to the program at http://mrmackenzie.gollach.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/

In the list there is a wbQuiz folder with the program files, along with the other 2 files in the plugins folder: wb_quiz.php and wb_quiz_questions.php. Get both of those and the folder contents.

Looking through the files it appears the setup is pretty straight forward; easier than the other one I downloaded.

Hi Jim,

I've deleted it all and started again and I still have the same result. I have published it, but have hidden it so you can see what I mean.

Did you install the Exec PHP Plugin? Looking at your page source, I see

Hmm...Didn't see that!

Have installed the plugin and am slowly sifting my way through to get it going. I'll have to continue it later though because my hayfever is acting up!

will let you know how I go! Thanks again Jim! All your help, does NOT go unnoticed or unappreciated. You're a gem mate.

Very Happy

Alrighty,

I've added the necessary plugins and tested it using this...

<?php echo "This is the Exec-PHP 'Hello World'"; ?>

And it works! But when i apply everything to my quiz, I am now getting a...

Ooops...Where did you get such a link ?

This is starting to get Reeeeally Frustrating! Don't suppose you have more ideas up your sleeves?

Thanks again

It might be time to contact Bruce Westbrook, the guy who modified wpQuiz. He has the quiz running on his site and I submitted the quiz to see how it works.

Go to http://www.thewestbrooks.com/bruce/techblog/

Oh and congratulations are in order here.
You have officially stumped me. Question
