[WatuPRO + Intelligence Module] Paid Quiz Bundles

From version 4.5.7 the Intelligence module of WatuPRO provides a feature that lets you sell access to bundles of paid quizzes.

Note that adding a quiz to a bundle does not make it protected. You must also set a non-zero price for that quiz on the Edit Quiz -> Intelligence module tab so the quiz cannot be accessed without payment.

How It Works

On your WatuPRO Settings at the bottom of the Payment Settings section you will see a new link “Create payment buttons for selling bundles of quizzes”. It takes you to a page to manage your paid quiz bundles. You can add any number of bundles:

bundle

Each bundle can provide access either to a whole quiz category or to a selection of specific quizzes, regardless the category.

It’s a good idea to provide redirect URL so when the users pays for a bundle they are directly taken to the first quiz in it, or to a page with links to all quizzes (or anything else you wish).

The bundle buttons must be manually published on a page or post using the shortcodes that will be shown to you once you create the bundle. This lets you publish payment buttons for the different payment methods you accept and make your sales pages in any way you wish.

Idea:

Is there a possibility that your users land directly on the quizzes page instead of your “Buy Bundles” page? If so, help them figure out that they can buy access to the quiz there. In WatuPRO Settings page -> Payment Settings section -> Other payment instructions box enter some text with a link to your page with bundles.

Important:

There are two important aspects about the payment bundles:

  • They will ignore the setting “Mark payment as used after each quiz attempt (so if multiple attempts are allowed the user will have to pay each time).” if you have selected it. A bundle once paid, will always give access to the quizzes in the bundle.
  • Changes to bundle will reflect users who purchased it. For example if you add new quizzes to the bundle, or to the category that the bundle includes, users who bought the bundle will also get access to these quizzes.

Your feedback is most welcome.

[WatuPRO] Quiz Not Showing in “My Quizzes” Page or Reports?

Update: from version 4.5.8 you can handle this easier: see here

Only quizzes that are published will be shown in “My Quizzes” page and the tabs from the Reporting module – for example the History tab.

What means a published quiz? This is a quiz whose shortcode is placed inside the content of a post, page, or custom post type. If you place the shortcode in some widget, custom field, via do_shortcode() call in your theme, or some other odd way, the system will not recognize the quiz as published and it will not be shown in these pages.

A very easy way to know if a quiz is published or not is by looking at your Quizzes page in admin (the first page when you click on WatuPRO menu). If the quiz title is not clickable, this means it’s not recognized as published.

Using Sorting Questions in Personality Quizzes (WatuPRO)

From version 4.5.4 WatuPRO supports using sorting questions in personality quizzes (Intelligence module required). Up to this version using sorting questions made sense only for knowledge based tests.

How To Use Them?

Let’s see why you would want to use them first. Unlike the other question types where answer is directly matched to a result (or results), the sorting questions give the user the option to assign different value to the answers. Most popular example of such questions are the “like most -> like least” or “most like me -> least like me” quizzes.

Let’s just dive into an example to make things really clear.

An Example Quiz

We will use a very basic personality quiz with two questions for this example. The quiz has three possible results (personality types): Analytic, Emotional, and Mixed. Two sorting questions will define the quiz taker personality.

The screenshot from the add/edit question page will show you how the answers to the question “Sort the values from “most like me” to “least like me”” will be given:

sorting-personality

 

Here the order you should match is automatically given to you by the program. This question isn’t very smart – it asks the user to directly sort the possible personality types in the way they think suits most.

The second question is probably a better example: “Sort the movies in order you like most”:

movies

Here the administrator has decided that whoever likes drama movies is mostly emotional. The one who likes criminal movies is most analytic and the mixed type likes action movies.

So what will happen if the user sorts the answers in the same order? He will get 3 points for “Emotional”, 2 points for “Analytic”, and 1 point for “Mixed” type.

Another example. Let’s say the user sorts the question like this:

Criminal movies
Action movies
Drama movies

In this case they will receive 3 match points for “Analytic”, 2 for “Mixed”, and one match for “Emotional”.

Example Final Output

The below screenshots will give you an example of how I setup this quiz.

This below is the “Final page / Quiz result” box. I have used the shortcode “watupro-expand-personality-result” to show detailed breakdown of how user’s answers matched to personalities. This shortcode is explained in your internal Help page under WatuPRO menu.

final-page

 

Below is example output of user who was strongly analytic:

analytic-personality

Don’t let the “points” word in the above screenshots mislead you. This is not the points you assign to answers. In personality quizzes points do not participate in grade calculations.

And the next screenshot shows Emotional user but not as strictly matching the emotional personality (he thinks he is mostly mixed personality but the movies question defined otherwise)

emotional-personality

This should make it clear.

Don’t forget to select “This is a survey question” to avoid correct / wrong checkmarks shown on such questions.
