    Firstly thank you for a great plug in – Im new to this and would not have got my project going if it wasnt for your plug in.

    Couple of silly questions –

    When a user uses a keyboard and puts an answer on the first answer and then naturally presses enter, on a quiz the remaining questions think they have been answered with no entry. In short its best not to use on a pc but be mobile only at the moment?

    When returning to retake a question and you go to enter an answer in a text box the previous answer is remembered and offered to the taker – this reduces the educational advantage from retaking the quiz. How do I prevent or switch off a viewers “auto complete”.

    The league table is hard to read – any clues as to how to edit it? Dont suppose it can have time taken to complete as a future feature? Also other than looking at each submission there isnt a way of finding out which question most people are getting wrong?

    Thanks for your help and apologies but any techi talk will result in lots of cutting and pasting into google but still be sure in knowing my respect to you.

    Thanks
    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    Glad you’re finding it useful. I’ll tackle your queries one at a time.

    1. When a user uses a keyboard and puts an answer on the first answer and then naturally presses enter, on a quiz the remaining questions think they have been answered with no entry. In short its best not to use on a pc but be mobile only at the moment?

    – You’re right, it DOES submit the form when you press enter. This hasn’t been raised as an issue before, but I can see why it would mess up a submission. For the time being just use a mobile device if possible. Or advise them in the quiz instructions NOT to use ‘enter’ key.
    The good news is that I’m quite far through rewriting the quiz plugin and the ‘enter’ button won’t submit a form. I’m hoping for a mid Jan 2018 release date.

    2. When returning to retake a question and you go to enter an answer in a text box the previous answer is remembered and offered to the taker – this reduces the educational advantage from retaking the quiz. How do I prevent or switch off a viewers “auto complete”.
    I *think* this is due to google chrome trying to be clever and remembering the form information, rather than anything I’ve written in the quiz code. Can you try taking a quiz, and then taking the same quiz in a different browser (or use the chrome incognito function) and let me know if the information is not displayed.
    Again, the good news is that the new version, due for release early very early 2018 will fix this as *all* questions will have their own unique ID number when rendering to the page which will be different each time a quiz is taken, so chrome won’t be able to do this.

    3. The league table is hard to read – any clues as to how to edit it?
    – If you send me a link to your page I can take a look at the CSS and advise.

    4. Dont suppose it can have time taken to complete as a future feature?
    – I’ve already written this for the next release, although unfortunately it will be part of a paid add-on for advanced customised league tables. Again, release date early 2018

    5. Also other than looking at each submission there isnt a way of finding out which question most people are getting wrong?
    – You’re right there isn’t. And I’ve realised that there is a need for more advanced analytics which I will be releasing as part of an add-on plugin in early Spring 2018.

    Best wishes,

    Alex

    Hey thanks for the review it prompted me to pop back – sorry for the delay.
    The table on the page is a standard jQuery UI datatable, and it looks like some CSS in the theme is causing the issue.
    You can try tinkering with the following CSS. If you add a CSS plugin, or your theme allows you to add CSS…

    
    /* This Makes the header text of the table white */
    .DataTables_sort_wrapper {
        color: white;
    }
    
    /* This will make the main text in the table black */
    table.dataTable tbody td {
        color: black;
    }
    
    /* This remove the filtering buttons form the top which I couldn't easily reformat
    .dataTables_length, div#leaderboard_filter {
        display: none;
    }
