Be patient, battye will get to you.

There is a limit of only 4. It would require a lot of modifications to add any more. Sorry

I have tried but its getting error

Thanks...

I'm afraid not

It will require a lot of modifications to the code and database.

Hello, battye. I do really like your mod, while I also encounter the same issue and I want to try do this myself. If so, could you pls tell the things I need to do from the high level perspective? Thanks a lot!

Sure, stick around for a couple of minutes while I search through the code.

Hmm, looks like you left us...

I didn't take that long to reply...

Code: Select all

				$quiz_multiple_choice = array();
				$quiz_multiple_choice = explode("!*-.@.-*!", $quiz_data['quiz_alternates']);
				
				$template->assign_vars( array(
				 "U_QUIZ_NAME" => $quiz_name,
				 "U_STATISTICS" => "<a href='" . append_sid("quiz_stats.$phpEx?" . POST_QUIZ_URL . "=$quiz_id") . "'>" . $lang['Quiz_stats'] . "</a>",
				 
				 "F_FORM" => append_sid("quiz.$phpEx?mode=results"),
				 "F_ID" => $quiz_id,
				 "F_TYPE" => $quiz_type,
				 "F_TIME" => time(),
				
				 "L_MOD_LANGS" => $mod_langs,
				 "L_MULTIPLE_INFORMATION" => $lang['Quiz_multiple_information'], 
				 "L_SUBMIT" => $lang['Submit_quiz']));
				
				 $template->assign_block_vars("quiz_row", array(
				 "U_QUESTION_ID" => $quiz_question_id,
				 "U_QUESTION" => $quiz_question,
				 
				 "Q_ALTERNATE_ONE" => $quiz_multiple_choice[0],
				 "Q_ALTERNATE_TWO" => $quiz_multiple_choice[1],
				 "Q_ALTERNATE_THREE" => $quiz_multiple_choice[2],
				 "Q_ALTERNATE_FOUR" => $quiz_multiple_choice[3]));

In this area of the code of quiz.php, you will need to add more Q_ALTERNATE_* strings. Just keep incrementing the number in the brackets [4], [5] etc

Code: Select all

		<tr>
			<td class="row1" rowspan="4" width="75%" align="center" valign="middle" height="100%">
				<span class="forumlink">
					{quiz_row.U_QUESTION}
				</span>
			</td>

In quiz_play_multiple_choice_body.tpl, you'll need to change that rowspan to however many multiple choices you want.

Code: Select all

		<tr>
			<td class="row2" width="25%" align="left" valign="middle" height="100%">
				<span class="gen">
					&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type="radio" name="uqm{quiz_row.U_QUESTION_ID}" value="{quiz_row.Q_ALTERNATE_TWO}" /> {quiz_row.Q_ALTERNATE_TWO}
				</span>
			</td>
		</tr>

You'll also need more of those blocks, changing the Q_ALTERNATE_* values each time.

Back in quiz.php, find this:

Code: Select all

				$question_sql = "INSERT INTO " . QUIZ_MULTIPLE_CHOICE_TABLE . " 
				(quiz_id, question_id, quiz_question, quiz_alternates, quiz_answer) 	
				VALUES ( " . next_quiz_id() . ", " . ($i + 1) . ", '" . str_replace("\'", "''", bbencode_first_pass(htmlspecialchars($HTTP_POST_VARS["Question_$i"]), '')) . "',
				'" . str_replace("\'", "''", htmlspecialchars($HTTP_POST_VARS["Alternate1_$i"])) . "!*-.@.-*!" . str_replace("\'", "''", htmlspecialchars($HTTP_POST_VARS["Alternate2_$i"])) . "!*-.@.-*!" . str_replace("\'", "''", htmlspecialchars($HTTP_POST_VARS["Alternate3_$i"])) . "!*-.@.-*!" . str_replace("\'", "''", htmlspecialchars($HTTP_POST_VARS["Alternate4_$i"])) . "', 
				'" . htmlspecialchars($answer[$i]) . "')";

You will need to add more of the _POST var values there. You'll also need to add more fields to the quiz_add_multiple_choice_body.tpl file, but that is reasonably straight forward so I won't go into that.

There may or may not be other things you have to do, but hopefully that gets you on the right track.

Thanks for your so quick reply!!
So, it seems no need to change any part of the database or table structure, right? Good design!!
Thanks again, once I finished, I will report back to the forum.

It seems that no database alterations need to be made after all, which is good
