This is a great module!

It would be very helpful to have for each question an additional text field allowing for further explanations, background, links, etc.
Display this field (if it is not empty only) together with the result (i.e. either after each question or at the end of the quiz, depending on the setting of "Feedback time:").

IMHO this would make the quiz module much more usable for teaching-applications (in contradiction to testing-applications) where the user might want to immediately dig deeper into the issue of the respective question of the quiz.

Thank you in advance!

Quiz should already do this. Have you tried using answer feedback? You can add text in this field which is displayed either after the quiz or after the question depending on you you configure the quiz.

Thank you for your reply. I did not see this field because I have TinyMCE enabled. This moved the "answer feedback" column further to the right completely out of my screen and I didn't take notice of the horizontal scrollbar.

With this field, I can certainly achieve what I wanted!

Thank you again for your help and sorry for having taken your time for such a simple thing.

Tinymce and quiz get messy
I'm also using tinymce and quiz. When I want to create a question, the page gets too many icons, because tinymce loads in everysingle textfield (at least 10 by default). Is there a way to hide tinymce in question nodes by default?
Thanks.

no idea, im not familiar with tinymce. That would be a good question to ask the maintainers of that module.

I do know that it is not an inherent feature of the quiz module to do so, and i believe that this sort of function is something that can be taken on by another contrib module, not the quiz module itself. So if tinymce does do this, then great otherwise, someone is welcome to create another module for handling tinymce with the quiz module.

Wysiwyg editors inside drupal are a bit of a mess right now, in drupal 7 we should see a lot more consistency and ways to handle these sorts of problems.

In the mean time, my suggestion would be to figure out a way to turn off the tinymce module on quiz nodes.

Cheers

Thanks. What I'm doing now whenever I make quizes is change my role to a role without Tinymce permissions. It would be great to have Quiz disable any html editor in those text fields, or accept only basic icons, as in the "My signature" text field in My profile when using TinyMce. I'll write if I find something useful.

Version: 6.x-2.x-dev » 5.x-2.x-dev

Changed this back to a 5.x version. Not sure why it was marked as 6.x-2.x in spite of the fact that the issue hasn't been updated since the 6.x port started.
