Refresh while test, and the timer restarts

Hello,

I have this problem too.

I want to show a password by clocking the start and if by refreshing the page, they can restart the test, I think it can’t be useful for this application.

Is there any plugin for this application I need?

Hi,

I am having the same problem. Please suggest where can I edit in the code.
Or if there is another plugin then suggest me.

I dont know about any other plugin with as many options as this one. This is by far the best Quiz plugin.

If you must, you may try, “Watu” – Its good enough. Though the refreshing problem may still persist.

And i am absolutely clueless to where to change the code. I am still looking into it though.

everything in this plugin is OK and I was really surprised for this plugin abilities.
But I need timer for my contests and it should not reset by refreshing page or logging out the users.
I think this plugin doesn’t have this ability right now. It should be programmed for this application which I want.
If time become OK, it will get all my requests….

yeah_ I don’t like it too.

maybe we can set some cookie variables for the timer.
I’ll try to find it.

yay_!
I’ve successfully save the timer to cookies.

Hi Muhammad Muhaimin,

It will be a great help, if you can share your knowledge (I mean the code about save the timer to cookies) among other people who have faced this problem including me.

Thanks.

it’s a bit complicated.
especially, if you have never edit a plugin.

firstly, I use jQuery Cookie, so download it.

then follow these steps:

1. navigate to /wp-content/plugins/wp-pro-quiz.

2. place jquery.cookie.js in js folder.

3. edit wp-pro-quiz.php
define('WPPROQUIZ_DEV', false);
to
define('WPPROQUIZ_DEV', true);

4. edit /lib/controller/WpProQuiz_Controller_Front.php

if($quiz) {
	wp_enqueue_script(
		'wpProQuiz_front_javascript',
		plugins_url('js/wpProQuiz_front'.(WPPROQUIZ_DEV ? '' : '.min').'.js', WPPROQUIZ_FILE),
		array('jquery-ui-sortable'),
		WPPROQUIZ_VERSION,
		$footer
	);

	wp_localize_script('wpProQuiz_front_javascript', 'WpProQuizGlobal', array(
		'ajaxurl' => admin_url('admin-ajax.php'),
		'loadData' => __('Loading', 'wp-pro-quiz'),
		'questionNotSolved' => __('You must answer this question.', 'wp-pro-quiz'),
		'questionsNotSolved' => __('You must answer all questions before you can completed the quiz.', 'wp-pro-quiz'),
		'fieldsNotFilled' => __('All fields have to be filled.', 'wp-pro-quiz')
	));
}

to

if($quiz) {
	wp_enqueue_script(
		'wpProQuiz_front_javascript',
		plugins_url('js/wpProQuiz_front'.(WPPROQUIZ_DEV ? '' : '.min').'.js', WPPROQUIZ_FILE),
		array('jquery-ui-sortable'),
		WPPROQUIZ_VERSION,
		$footer
	);

	wp_localize_script('wpProQuiz_front_javascript', 'WpProQuizGlobal', array(
		'ajaxurl' => admin_url('admin-ajax.php'),
		'loadData' => __('Loading', 'wp-pro-quiz'),
		'questionNotSolved' => __('You must answer this question.', 'wp-pro-quiz'),
		'questionsNotSolved' => __('You must answer all questions before you can completed the quiz.', 'wp-pro-quiz'),
		'fieldsNotFilled' => __('All fields have to be filled.', 'wp-pro-quiz'),
		'userId' => get_current_user_id()
	));

	wp_enqueue_script(
		'jquery-cookie',
		plugins_url('js/jquery.cookie.js', WPPROQUIZ_FILE),
		array('jquery-ui-sortable'),
		'1.4.0',
		$footer
	);
}

5. edit js/wpProQuiz_front.js.

var timelimit = (function() {
	var _counter = config.timelimit;
	var _intervalId = 0;
	var instance = {};

	instance.stop = function() {
		if(_counter) {
			window.clearInterval(_intervalId);
			globalElements.timelimit.hide();
		}
	};

	instance.start = function() {
		if(!_counter)
			return;

		var x = _counter * 1000;

		var $timeText = globalElements.timelimit.find('span').text(plugin.methode.parseTime(_counter));
		var $timeDiv = globalElements.timelimit.find('.wpProQuiz_progress');

		globalElements.timelimit.show();

		var beforeTime = +new  Date();

		_intervalId = window.setInterval(function() {

			var diff = (+new Date() - beforeTime);
			var elapsedTime = x - diff;

			if(diff >= 500) {
				$timeText.text(plugin.methode.parseTime(Math.ceil(elapsedTime / 1000)));
			}

			$timeDiv.css('width', (elapsedTime / x * 100) + '%');

			if(elapsedTime <= 0) {
				instance.stop();
				plugin.methode.finishQuiz(true);
			}

		}, 16);
	};

	return instance;

})();

to

var timelimit = (function() {
	var _counter = config.timelimit;
	var _intervalId = 0;
	var instance = {};

	// set cookie for different users and different quizzes
	var timer_cookie = 'wpq-time-limit-' + WpProQuizGlobal.userId + '-' + config.quizId;

	instance.stop = function() {
		if(_counter) {
			$.removeCookie(timer_cookie);
			window.clearInterval(_intervalId);
			globalElements.timelimit.hide();
		}
	};

	instance.start = function() {
		if(!_counter)
			return;

		$.cookie.raw = true;

		var full = _counter * 1000;
		var tick = $.cookie(timer_cookie);
		var limit = tick ? tick : _counter;
		var x = limit * 1000;

		var $timeText = globalElements.timelimit.find('span').text(plugin.methode.parseTime(limit));
		var $timeDiv = globalElements.timelimit.find('.wpProQuiz_progress');

		globalElements.timelimit.show();

		var beforeTime = +new Date();

		_intervalId = window.setInterval(function() {

			var diff = (+new Date() - beforeTime);
			var remainingTime = x - diff;

			if(diff >= 500) {
				tick = remainingTime / 1000;
				$timeText.text(plugin.methode.parseTime(Math.ceil(tick)));
				$.cookie(timer_cookie, tick);
			}

			$timeDiv.css('width', (remainingTime / full * 100) + '%');

			if(remainingTime <= 0) {
				instance.stop();
				plugin.methode.finishQuiz(true);
			}

		}, 16);
	};

	return instance;
