Engaging Quiz

Allow you and your users to create modern, engaging quizzes to share and embed.

Description

Create quizzes to engage your users. Easily embed the quiz on any website.

Our research on quizzes shows that quizzes help your users:

  • Increase time on site

  • Enjoy your site more

Using the Engaging Quiz Creator, you can easily create quizzes that you can embed on your website, and even allow your users to create quizzes for sharing/embedding too.

Advanced Installation The plugin will create two configuration files on plugin activation:

  • enp-quiz-config.php
  • enp-quiz-database-config.php

enp-quiz-config.php This file is found in the wp-content folder. This is the main config file. You can change the path to your Template folders so you can change the views of the plugin. Templates default to the default plugin templates.

enp-quiz-database-config.php This file is located in your DOCUMENT_ROOT. It's outside of your public_html or domain-name.com folder (depending on your host). This is to protect it from prying eyes. It is included by the enp-quiz-config.php file. Feel free to move it, but be sure to change the path in the enp-quiz-config.php file too, otherwise the plugin won't know how to connect to your database.

This odd set-up will allow you to move your quiz database to an entirely different server if you ever get hit with a lot of usage. Also, the plugin is written with PDO as the database connection layer, so you could even run your quiz database as something other than MySQL if you want.

Upgrade Notice

Issues

Local Dev

  1. Fatal error: Uncaught Error: PDO object is not initialized, constructor was not called in .../database/class-enp_quiz_db.php

The local app will add a ../../mysqld.sock to the end of your $enp_db_host variable in your enp-quiz-database-config.php file on the quiz plugin installation. You just need to remove it so it's only localhost.

Update the /app/public/enp-quiz-database-config.php file at this line:

$enp_db_host = "localhost:/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Local/run/Yl7or9nT_/mysql/mysqld.sock";

to:

$enp_db_host = "localhost";
  1. Fatal error: Uncaught Error: count()

Issue lies in the public/quiz-create/templates/enp-quiz-page.php file. You need to ensure that the global $post variable is properly set before calling the_content().

If you only have:

the_content();

you will need to wrap it with an if statement so that the $post variable is properly set:

if (have_posts()) :
	the_post();
	the_content();
endif;

PHP Sessions & Hosting

Exclusions should be added for these files in order for the quiz embeds to work. Otherwise a PHPSESSID hidden input element is appended to the quiz form DOM & malforms the ajax JSON responses.
