some documentation for using Quiz version 4.7 [#309787]

After some trial and error, I got quiz 4.7 to work. Since the maintainers say 4.7 is not being supported, I thought I'd document what I did so that it would be useful for others using 4.7, and this may apply to the other versions as well.

Steps:
1. create a quiz
2. add questions to the quiz (the only kind I can make are multichoice questions)
3. go back to the quiz page and check "always" or "random" instead of "never" next to each question.

1. multichoice.module works. matching.module does not work for me.
2. every time I create a question, it is set to "never" display. go back and choose "always" or "random" on the quiz page. Until I figured this out, I couldn't understand why users could not see the questions and worked on role permissions. That there is a "never" option and it is the default is very counterintuitive.
3. when I choose display feedfack at the end of the question, it still displays feedback after the quiz.

I also have this problem. user 1 sees correct answers in the summary. other users do not.
------------ it turns out that you only see the feedback for the answer you picked. Once I filled in feedback for every question, anonymous can see the feedback in the summary.

by the way, anonymous can take the quiz. I am not having that problem.

it seems to me that the order of the answers changes randomly

to change the default to display randomly, instead of display never,
on
line 1295 (version 4.7) change the last character on the line from a 2 to a 0

edited version

 $new_question->status = isset($alnp->question_status) ? $alnp->question_status : 0;

however, this will break if you have more than 1 quiz. If you have more than one quiz, you must leave the default as never display. Otherwise, the questions will show up in all quizzes even if they are not supposed to.
