In jQuizMe, the ansInfo property is only shown when the user answer is incorrect. So I will have to change that feature to allow you to show the ansInfo property every time.

options.statusUpdate will help for triggering quiz events.
You can find that in “release jQuizMe 2.1/demo/simple guide/” or at the link below.
http://www.bateru.com/jquery/jquizme2.1/demo/Simple_guide/jquizme-settings-updated.html
Something like the following might help you get started.

… // declare quiz and options
options.statusUpdate = function( quizInfo, $currQuiz ){
if( quizInfo.hasQuit ){
alert( “Thank you for using jQuizMe. \n For More information google ‘jQuizMe’.” );
}
};
jQuizMe( quiz, options );

I spent some time reviewing the code and discovered that the plugin ezMark is geared more towards inputs in forms.
Since jQuizMe doesn’t use the form tag and assign radio inputs with names, then ezMark will fail.
Therefore, unless ezMark is modified, it *should* not work properly with jQuizMe.

No, not all quizzes have to be saved in JavaScript Files. You can create a quiz by retrieving the information from a MySQL database. Here's how. Basically to create the quiz, you send out an ajax command to a PHP page that echos back an JSON file with your questions. To echo back JSON using PHP, connect to and query your database whiling storing the results in an associated array. Next, convert the stored array into JSON by using the JSON_encode function. jQuery Ajax

var quiz = $.ajax({
      url: "script.php",
      global: false,
      type: "POST",
      data: "topic=chemistry",
      async:false
   }
).responseText;
//Note: quiz can be in the format [ { ques: "", ans:"" }, ... ];

Hope that's helps.

I’m hoping to use this for my online courses. I’m wondering if there’s a way to get the plugin to pull questions from a MySQL database. Would that require JSON? Is there a pure PHP solution? Otherwise all questions have to be hardcoded in the JS, right?

Hey Larry,

Great work on the plugin!

Is there a way to add a custom text summary to the end of the quiz? Something like

“Thank you for taking our quiz! If you would like more information, click here” Etc Etc

Also, is there a way to always show ansInfo regardless if the question was correct or incorrect? Currently it only shows if the question was incorrect.

Thanks for everything!
-Ronnie

Hi. Thanks for this nice plugin. I try to use your plugin with Ezmark Checkbox and Radio button plugin. But because my javascripting is not good, i could figure out to make them work. Actually i can make Ezmark work in first stage as changing button, but when user click, the button does not change at all but your script got the answer and work. I think this is because both relay on :checked attribute. Can you offer me a way to solve this problem?

Hey Bruno,
Here are two hacks for jQuizMe. You need to use jQuery 1.4.2 for these to work.
These simple hacks are taking advantage of jQuery’s delegate function.
jQuery Delegate: http://api.jquery.com/delegate/

1) When using the “multiList” quiz type, auto-click the check button when an answer is selected.
Solution:
### Code ###
$( “#quizArea” ).delegate( “.q-ol-li”, “click”, function(e){
var $checkBtn = $(e.target).parent().parent().parent().parent().find( “.q-check-btn” );
$checkBtn.click();
});
### End of Code ###

2) When using the “multiList” quiz type, hide the question and answer when showing the result of the answer selection.
Solution:
### Code ###
$(“.q-check-btn”).click( function(){
$( e.target ).parent().parent().find( “.q-ansSel, .q-ques” ).slideToggle();
});
### End of Code ###

Note: Change “#quizArea” to the appropriate selector that contains the jQuizMe element.
