Confused

  • OK, I’m usually pretty good at figuring these things out but am a bit stumped with your plugin. Is it really limited to only 6 “things?”

    I want to capture the test taker’s name and email as a lead. Then have several multiple choice questions to ask of them. If I use the first field to capture name and the second to capture email, that leaves only 3 fields left for questions and 1 left as the submit. Does that sound right?

    The plugin was designed for fun quizes and not more serious test and as such there is no option to get the user to enter a name.
    You can add new fields by filling out the new field option at the botton of the field definitions page.

    Thanks DCoda. I did eventually figure out that if you add a question, save it, then come back – there is a new space for another question. OK. And it does a good enough job at capturing lead info so I’m fine with that.

    Now…styling….

    I had to get into the style sheet to change the font to match the style of our site (white font on black). Found that ok. But now would like to make some additional minor changes.

    Want more spacing between the question and the answer-both in the test and the results. Found what I thought was the result code (results.phtml) but none of the changes I’ve added show up. View source still shows the original code.

    Also tried putting paragraph tags around the else clause in the answer page to try to get the name and email results to pick up the style sheet, but it’s not changing anything. View source of the results still shows the same thing. Wondering if there is another place that this code is generated? Sure seems like the results.phtml would be the place!

    Thanks again for being so helpful with this!

    Hi,
    The results form is not designed to be altered, and any alteration made will be overwritten with future updates.
    The results.phtml is a remnant from development.
    If you really have to modify the layout the html for the results page can be found in the settings.xml file.
    library/survey/settings.xml
    you can find the relevant part under.
    alternate/quizme/views/results/display/results/phtml
    in the xml.

    However as i say once you have made the changes, any upgrade will remove them,.

    Thanks – I’ll take a look. I’m aware that future upgrades will overwrite the changes and I’ll need to redo them again sometime. Worth it. ??

    Hoping maybe you can give some thought into adding spacing between questions and answers.

    Options for dynamic styling for those of us with black BG/white fonts (I don’t use this style often but this client wanted it).

    Options for what gets sent in email. If nothing else, would prefer it to be the same that is shown to the quiz taker (esp. # correct/Total).

    Thanks for the good work!
