“Print this quiz” option

  • Hello Dylan,

    I have another idea for an option to your plugin.

    Webmasters install quizzes ont their website to attract new visitors. If for example they offer educational (math operations) or touristic quizzes, maybe the visitor would like to print the quiz he passed.
    So, you could create a special template to print an A4 (or US legal) pdf page. On this page, it could be interesting for the webmaster to customize the printed form. On my website offering educational quizzes, I will offer for example multiplication tables with a QR code giving the URL of the website when one flashes it with a smartphone.
    If the quiz includes 10 questions, you could print them in a “landscape” format with 5 questions on each side and a QR code in a header.
    I remember somebody gave you another idea with “mail to a friend”. The pdf document could be sent by mail (ex: to himself to the home printer).

    What di you think of that ? I don’t know if other developers offer this option for quizzes.

    Hello Dylan,
    After having thought a little about the subject, I realized that there are already plugins which allow to generate pdf documents from a page (I just typed “create pdf” in the search window for WP plugins).
    So my question now is: Have you ever tested these plugins, and if so, can you recommend one? Thank you.

    HI michel92,
    unfortunately, I have no really tested any before so cannot recommend one. My understanding of this is that creating a PDF is not the hard part. The hard part is formatting the PDF so that it fits your needs. Let me know if you try out any of these and how it goes!

    Thanks for your answer, Dylan…

    I tried a plugin (I can’t remember the name) but it was impossible to print the questions of the passed quiz. It was like a “reset” and I just saw the start button !
    I quickly remove this plugin because when I removed the code from my articles, the button “pdf” did not disappear (and I did not use a cache).

    The true problem is to “freeze” the questions (+ answers) of the quiz to print them. And like you wrote, to format the pdf before printing it.

    For you, it could be like a “parallel quiz”, with a request for 5 random questions independent of the quizzes for players. It’s really another job.

    The hidden idea behind the pdf generation is to create ebooks and to sell them as a “byproduct” on Amazon ??
    Lots and lots of quiz books are sold everyday.

    If you create a big database with an exhaustive amount of questions on a given subject, you could sell millions of ebooks on Amazon and become rich (like a meme of Forrest Gump)…

    I believe I found a solution for the “print quiz”. By chance I activated a cache system on my website. And the quiz was all the time the same choice among the pool of questions. So, a mini cache could be used to “print the quiz” (5 questions at the same time).
