    Hi Xeno010,

    Thank you for your response. I was trying to add negative points to Wp Pro Quiz, but the plugin does not allow you to assign negative points “-1” value to answer choices that are incorrect. The only values you can assign are 0 and positive numbers to multiple choice answers.

    When i tested, I tried to enter in a negative value (-1) for answer choices D and E, I found out this is not allowed. When assigning a negative value to choices D and E a message box comes up and says “No number in the field “Points” or less then 0″

    So in the bonus mode concept, if the user selects all the possible answers, the user will get all the possible points possible. Please consider being able to subtract points if the user picks the wrong bonus mode answers.

    If negative points can be assigned to wrong answers to a question, this will discourage quiz takers from selecting all the answers and will encourage quiz takers to only select the correct answers to get the highest amount of bonus mode points.

    Your quiz program is great and I cant wait to see the new features you put into the next released version!! I just want to thank you again for all the hard work you put into building WP Pro Quiz

    On multiple choice questions. You can assign different points for the question answered. This means you can assign (1,2,3,4,5,ect) points for the correct answer(s), to a given question.

    If a question is not answered 0 points are given.

    The plugin DOES NOT GIVE -1 points if a wrong answer is selected. If a wrong answer is selected, 0 points are given.

    So assume a question where (A,B,C) are the correct answers and D is the incorrect answer. Each correct answer is assigned 1 point for being correct. The user selects (A,B,D) as the answer to the question. 2 points will be given for this answer.

    I think you found a bug in the Cloze type questions where it does not interpret properly user added HTML code to display pictures, or other HTML tags in cloze type questions, on the front end.

    I experienced the same problem. I tried to mix text and graphics into a cloze type question and it did not work, and agree this appears to be a bug. On the front end, instead of displaying a graphic, the answer just displayed the HTML reference link.

    Hopefully this can be looked at by Xeno010 and fixed

    Yes its possible to do that.

    When you EDIT the quiz, make sure the following items are checked.
    1. Check the “Display questions Randomly”

    2. Check “Show only specific number of questions “,
    enter 20 and check the percent box.

    3. Click Save at the bottom of the page.

    This should now give you 20 random questions displayed each time the test is taken. To validate the random questions, take the test as different logged in/ random users.

    Adding pictures to the quiz works and is really easy to do.
    Try following these steps

    1. Create Question.
    2. click on the “Add Media” button. When the media button is pressed click on upload files and add your picture to the media database.
    3. After the picture is uploaded, you should see the picture in the media database library,with a check mark next on it. On the bottom right hand side there is a blue button called “Insert into post”. Press that button.
    4. You should now be back into the Question generating screen, and if you are on the Visual tab, where you enter the question, you will see the picture listed, that you just posted.
    5. Finish listing the possible answers to your picture question and SAVE the question.
    6. Now run the test and see if you see the picture.

    If the picture does not show up, try turning off plugins and try a different wordpress theme. Use JPG, PNG and Gif picture formats.

    Initially when I had problems with pictures, they were not showing up in the media library. If you can see the pictures listed in the media library, then you should not have any problems viewing the pictures in your WP PRO Quiz questions.

    have you tried changing themes and disabling plugins to see if that resolved your issue? It seems some types of themes and some plugins can cause strange problems. These steps are worth trying to debug this issue.

    I know in my testing, IE does not have any issues like the one you are experiencing. So my gut feeling is its a theme or a plugin problem.

    Linking a few questions together on the same page is a good idea when playing media files to ask questions about what you hear, see or read.

    I guess a “link to previous question number” option, would come in handy to do something like that. That is a very unique feature to be able to ask multiple questions on one topic keeping everything grouped together.

    Hopefully the xeno010 would consider adding this feature. I can see how useful it could be.

    I know the plugin saves the answers and works. In order to get the problem resolved, you might want to list all the specifics about your current wordpress configuration in order to get this resolved. The problem might be a configuration that has not been tested.

    What OS are you using? What version of WordPress are you using? What java and php version are you running? What plugins and wordpress theme are you using? All these questions answered can help pin point where the problem is. To do some debugging you might want to turn off plugins and see if that makes a difference, and changing the theme

    when using the matrix, as show in picture “vdhtest.free.fr/WP-Pro-Quiz019-2.jpg” You need to have Age in the criterion and IN THE SAME ROW NEXT TO THE WORD AGE, put “33” in the Sort elements.

    WP-Pro Quiz does not see the relationship between AGE and 33 when you have 33 listed on another row.

    After much research and trying many different things, I finally was able to upload files to wordpress using windows and IIS. The dreaded “Missing a temporary folder” message is resolved.

    To fix the problem, you need to find the PHP.ini file in the folder where PHP was installed. There is an entry under the following heading

    ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
    ; Fopen wrappers ;
    ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
    upload_tmp_dir=”XXX” –where xxx is the directory that php wants to upload the image files. On my system XXX=C:\windows\temp

    I changed the XXX folder from c:\windows\temp to another directory because the windows iusr account does not have privileges to this folder. Just make a “WP-temp” folder that is not in the windows directory, and change the (upload_tmp_dir=XXX) to upload_tmp_dir=”c:\WP-temp”

    If you want to verify all of your PHP file settings, make a php file with the code in a text file. Make a website that Points to this file

    <?php
    phpinfo();
    ?>

    Save the file as index.php With your web browser open up this file and look for “upload_tmp_dir” and it will tell you where it wants to save its files.

    Looking forward to testing it on my windows machine with IIS.

    I have reinstalled the plugin many times in Windows with IIS. I have reinstalled and upgraded PHP, MYSQL and WordPress to their latest versions. When running the plugin under using Windows with IIS using FASTCGI with PHP configured, the plugin will not save the questions you enter into the mysql database.

    There is also a problem, when you post the [WpProQuiz X] to the front end. The [WpProQuiz x] does not show the “Start Quiz” button on the front end for the user to take the test.

    I also have a request. Is it possible when you start the quiz, the user has to first sign in, before taking the test. As it is right now, the user could preview questions without signing in to take the test. By making him sign in first, he will not be able to browse the questions and cheat, when the user does take the exam.

    It would also be nice to have an option that only “Registered Users” could take the test. This would stop people from creating a bogus account to preview questions.

    Others have requested being able to change the words on the test buttons. In the quiz configuration, it would be nice to have an option to see the different test buttons, and change the text and color of them.

    Thanks

    I’ve had the exact same problem wishing someone had an answer to resolve my issue. After 2 weeks of playing around with WordPress and this plug in, I finally figured it out. It was driving me crazy why it did not work. I could create a quiz, but the plugin would not save the questions that i put into the quiz database.

    This plugin does not work on Windows machines with IIS. I made a virtual Linux box and installed wordpress, mysql, php and the WP Pro Quiz and it worked like it was supposed to work.

    I hope the developer has access to Windows and IIS to fix the incompatibility issue with windows.
