Cloning a quiz into a new one

  • Hello,

    I was just wondering if it’s possible to clone one of my quizzes that I’ve created.

    I created a quiz with 100+ questions but I realised not everyone will want to do a quiz that long so I would like to clone it and also have a shorter quiz version of 10-20 questions.

    Just wanted to ask before I spend the time to manually clone each question.

    Thanks!

    @boxeo Currently, there isn’t a quick and easy clone method.

    If you’re familiar with how the WP database is setup, as well as with JSON data structures, you could probably save some time by duplicating SQL records and modifying the quiz JSON in each one. But if you don’t have that familiarity, then unfortunately manual creation is the next option.

    If you want to give the WP / JSON approach a try, let me know and I can point you in the right direction.

    Hi Julie.

    I’m finishing my new site and will use your SlickQuiz plugin (thanks you for your public work and donation!). I have a similar need than @boxeo and, if it is possible, I would like to “give the WP / JSON approach a try“.

    Thanks you in advance.

    @donkeyteach So you’ll need to look in your wordpress database for a table name that is something like wp_plugin_slickquiz. Find the quiz you want to use and copy the contents of the publishedJson field into a text editor.

    Once you’ve modified it to your liking, duplicate one of the rows in the table or copy (sql dump) one of the rows and import it into your new database table, then replace the contents of the publishedJson field with your modified JSON.

    It works fine.

    Thanks you so much for your time and work, @jewlofthelotus.
