Hello,

There is an issue on manage questions of Quiz module. When you click the tab, it lists down all the questions that are "always, random, not part of the quiz". We have thousand of questions that are not part of the quiz which results to an error. How do we resolve this issue? Is there a better and more efficient way to display all the questions that are not part of the quiz?

Thanks,
Mike

Use tabs instead of fieldsets would be a start.

This plus drag-and-drop are deferred to Quiz 3.0.

How could drag-and-drop for 'thousand of questions'? But since it not 3.0 time yet, we can think it over. Suggestions?

Capono,

Here are my thoughts:
* A quiz is likely to have no more than a hundred questions. (Most will probably have fewer than 50).
* The total question pool may be thousands of questions.

Rather than display both the quiz's questions and the pool of all questions in the same way, we should create a separate UI interface for the pool of potential questions. I am thinking of something like an AJAX-based scrollable pain with a real-time search box or (alternatively) an autocomplete search box.

Anyway, ideally questions would be dragged from this list and dropped into either "Always" or "Random" sections, where they would be automatically added.

This may address a second issue: Ordering questions. Questions could be re-ordered simply by dragging and dropping them into place. In D6, this is fairly straightforward (see the book module and men system for examples).

I'd be happy to hear thoughts (or see mock-ups) of how we might best implement all of this.

Ordering like the menu would be nice, looks good. Works good with long pages too.

Drag-and-drop questions in long pages gives another challenge: how to keep the 'basket' in place.
By this a mean moving them from archive to active.

Maybe a phpmyadmin style. You can click the hole row to select it, and at the bottom you choose what you want to do with it: move into 'Always' or 'random'. Select by click is faster than drag-and-drop per question. Can work the other way around too: move from quiz to pool.

I have an issue with the potential questions basket now, so I thought give this post a bump.

Where is the potential question basket? I can only add one question at the time. That is not very user friendly. Or do I miss something?
