Saving/Exporting Results

    We use a combination of a Child Theme and a Staging Site for our website. All changes are made on the staging site and then everything is copied over to the live site once or twice a week. While we love the HD Quiz Results Add-On there is a downside to it in our approach of maintaining the website. Since ALL the files are replaced, the Results file is also being replaced and we are losing all the results between each update.

    This is not a major issue by any means, but it would be nice to see a simple workaround, such as an offsite backup or a button to export and import the results file.

    Hi chasec,
    the results are saved to the database, not any “file”. So results will save across theme changes. A full “import/export” will be added at some time, but for now you can always do the following.

    Log into your site. If your domain is, for example, wordpress.com, then when you log into your site, I need to you type wordpress.com/wp-admin/options.php into your browser to see that actual page.

    Once on the WordPress Options page, look for a setting called hdq_quiz_results_l. This is the JSON string that contains the saved results. You can copy this string and paste it into another site to bring the results over.

    Thanks for the reply and I completely understand. We’ve been doing the weekly updates the easy way by doing a total replacement of all files and the SQL DB from the staging site. While it would be nice to be able to keep a running total of the quizzes, it is hardly necessary at this point. Especially considering the limited functionality of the Lite version of the plugin.

    p.s. We would be quite happy to purchase professional versions of both plugins in the future when they become available.

    I did try your suggestion on copy and paste the JSON string, and got this:

    Request Entity Too Large

    The requested resource
    /wp-admin/options.php
    does not allow request data with POST requests, or the amount of data provided in the request exceeds the capacity limit.

    Oh well, it was worth a try.

    Oh wow! I never knew that WordPress set a limit on the amount of data you could enter, but it makes sense. Unless you are comfortable editing your database records using something like phpMyAdmin, i’m afraid I cannot offer you a better solution.

    For whatever it’s worth, the Save Results Pro version of the plugin will absolutely have built in import/export functionality – but it is ~2-3 weeks away from release.
