Users Manual

Editors can create a quiz/poll/test on a folder. First you must create a quiz in the list view. Click at the quiz and add some questions and answers to the quiz. Optionally you can add some evaluations.

After you have created a quiz with some questions you can add the plugin at a page and there you must select the folder with the quiz.

• Note:
  • Not every setting can be done by FlexForms. There are more TypoScript-settings.
  • When you enable the AJAX-version, the FlexForms will be ignored, because the AJAX-call does not know the plugin.
  • Configure the quiz only by TypoScript, if you use the AJAX-version.
  • The AJAX-call calls an normal action and not an eID-script. The cHash-check must be disabled (this is set by default) if you use AJAX.

Tip

If you have a quiz with more than 10 questions, the backend will be very slow. To avoid this, create a quiz with nearly empty questions. Finally edit every question individually. Second posibility: go to the backend module and click on “Show quiz properties”. There you could add questions to a quiz after you have created questions first.

This screenshots shows you a quiz in the list view and some FlexForm-settings of the plugin.

Points

There is no checkbox for correct answers! To check a answer as correct, you need to set a value greater than 0 at the points-field. You can set 0 or a negative value for wrong answers. You don´t need to set points for polls.

Text-Answers

There are 2 possible text answers: input-field or textarea. Note: this feature works only, if you add one answer to such a question too! Your added answer is not shown in the frontend, but it is needed to show a input-field or textarea in the frontend.

Star-Rating

A special case is the star rating feature. For that feature a CSS-file is included by default. If you do not need this feature, you can remove the CSS-file like this:

page.includeCSS.fpMasterQuizRatingStar >

Otherwise you should know this: the star rating may not work correct with old browsers. It is a CSS only solution. It looks like this:

Star rating example.

You can use it this way: because it uses radio-boxes in the background, you must configure it like radio-boxes. Select the question mode “star rating” and than add as many answers as you like to have stars. If you want 5 stars, add 5 answers. The first answer is the highest rating (e.g. 5 stars) and and last answer is the lowest answer (1 star). That is the opposite logic of the star rating in the extension myquizpoll. Do not set the points. In the user-answer, the points shows how many stars were seleced. With the setting checkAllStars you can define if one or all stars should be checked by default.

Important

For every question you need to add at least one answer, even for some types the answer is not displayed!
