Not Supported DB Changes Uses Plugins  

This mod is an addon to the Inferno Quiz System You must have that mod installed and working to use this.

What it does: It requires users to achieve a minimum score on a specified quiz to post in a forum.
Example: You have a PHP discusssion forum for advanced coders. You don't want novices bothering your members with trivial questions. So, you require anybody who wishes to post in that forum to achieve a minimum score of 70% on an advance PHP quiz that you created using Inferno Quiz.

How to install it: Import the Product. Done. No template edits, nothing else to do.

How to use it: In your admincp forum manager, edit the forum(s) you wish this to use this mod for. Enter a Quiz ID and the minimum acceptable score. Save the forum. You're done.

You can easily require users to pass different quizzes to be able to post in different forums. If a user has not taken the quiz, he is directed to do so. If he has failed the quiz, he sees an error message.

I don't expect many of you will use this. I'm not even using it. But, the idea hit me and it was fun to throw together.

p.s. If you want your users to have to pass the quiz before they can even read in your forum, copy the plugin code from newthread_start and create new plugins using forumdisplay_start and showthread_start as the hooks with the same source code.

I haven't tested that, but it should work.

Kru, let me double check that all of the plugins are in the product.

Was thinking the same... But it sounds so cool, I'm considering a way I can work it in.

Just to show an example of where it works... on a metaphysical/paranormal site I run, we have areas for more advanced things. Using as an example, the craft of the witch, for beginners we have an area where they can read up and ask questions on absolutely everything you need to get started, but we also have an area for those people who have been part of the Craft for many years. Now it's very hard sometimes to know how much someone really knows, so this is where Amy's idea comes in extremely useful to me! We can now add a "quiz" that people have to pass - holding the limited knowledge needed tob e able to access the forum.

Ok, thank you. I really like the idea of this hack and it can be useful for my forum www.mirzone.net .

Tell me if you have any idea why it doesn't work for me, please.

Kru, Try it now. I accidentally added one of the plugins to a different product with a smiliar name. Download the new xml file and install the product. It should work now

Sorry about that one.

Amy

The problem seemed to be in the import of the product file. It did not work right. I redid the product on RC2 and have uploaded it here for you. I successfully uninstalled my product and installed this one; so cross your fingers.
