Update instructions for Quiz 4
  1. This update will make huge changes to your database. Be sure to follow Drupals general update instructions, and backup your database before you start updating Quiz.
  2. Before updating from Quiz 3 to Quiz 4 make sure that the module Quiz Question and the module Autoload are installed and enabled.
  3. It is also important that you delete the old Quiz folder before adding the new one. If you paste the new files into the old folder errors will occur!
  4. Note that the update might take a very long time and it might seem to be hanging. The update process might take hours if you have many questions and results stored on a slow server.
  5. If you have customized the themes for Quiz 3 you will have to update your custom theme functions and templates for Quiz 4.
  6. If you are using the import and export features you need to download the Quiz EI project.
