I installed this mod on my board and my users get this error alot while taking a quiz. I tested it myself and it seems to happen when the very last answer is submitted. I don't have CH mod on my board but I do have alot of other mods including simple subforums. Can you help me sort this out please?

Does it happen every time you play a quiz?

No it doesn't happen everytime. If it happens you can restart the quiz and it won't do it the second time. My users are still able to use them but its annoying. Everyone that has used it tells me they have gotten it.
Are there any mods that might conflict with it? What file would cause this?
I'm running your quiz version 1.0.6 and phpBB 2.0.15 bridged with mambo.

Maybe Mambo is, I've never tested it on there before.
I can tell you, that this problem will be non-existant for the next version (1.1.x) which will probably be finished very soon.
The reason the hacking attempt happens, is if a user leaves a quiz half way through. If you play all the quizzes, the whole way through, it should be fine

Yeah but the quiz mod is more a part of phpbb than anything and the only thing that is shared is my user tables. The problem I am referring to happens when members play a quiz the whole way through without hitting the back button.
To add more info to this, when viewing statistics you can hit a quiz name and it will also give you this error.

This error affects only very old versions (1.0.6 or lower).
I suggest upgrading to 1.3.0, or 1.2.0 at the very least.

You have the problem in 1.3.0? Please take a screenshot and post it here so I can see the problem.

There is nothing to take a screen shot of. I go to take a quiz then when I hit submit, the screen goes white the 'Hacking Attempt!!' at the top of the screen.
I had installed version 1.2.0 but when I saw to upgrade to 1.3.0, I did and the error still occured.
I had just updated to PhpBB 2.0.21 so maybe there was an error when I upgraded. I have also noticed the same problem with one of the other installed mods so I am going to roll back PhpBB and see if that fixes the error.

The problem is this change in the last phpbb update in the common.php:
Code: Select all
#
#-----[ FIND ]---------------------------------------------
#
if (!in_array($var, $not_unset))
{
unset($$var);
}
#
#-----[ REPLACE WITH ]---------------------------------------------
#
if (in_array($var, $not_unset))
{
die('Hacking attempt!');
}
unset($$var);
