UQM - How to add "new quiz" icon for Category view page

[quahappy]

This suggestion was originally here.

At the moment, if on viewing a list of quizzes within a category and new quiz(zes) has been added, the "new quiz" icon is shown.

It would be excellent if the "new posts" image on forum index could be included on the "Select category" page so users can see that one category (or more) contain new quizzes. If no new quiz within a category then you see "no new posts" image. Or, if possible, custom UQM "new quiz/no new quiz" images. I could create these if demand calls for this.

				$new_quiz_result = $db->sql_query($new_quiz_sql);
				$new_quiz_row = $db->sql_fetchrow($new_quiz_result);
				$new_quiz_login = ($new_quiz_row['qct'] > 0) ? $user->img('icon_topic_newest', 'VIEW_NEWEST_POST') . ' ' : '';

Sorry for taking a while to reply. Been extremely busy of late.

Thanks for the code battye. Will later insert and test later then let you know how it goes.

[quahappy]

Yep. It works.

Only thing I notice is when all new quiz(zes) has been played, the {category_row.CAT_NEW_QUIZ} image still shows and only disappears if you log out and back in again unless of course new quizzes has been added since.
