This update comes very soon after the previous. It wasn’t planned but as we finished the new Reporting module I had to add an interface to upload modules. But of course, that’s not good enough for a new version, so here are all the new things:

1. Modules compatibility and upload interface. Now additional modules can be added to the plugin at any time.
2. Shortcodes to display “My exams” and “My certificates” outside of the wp-admin area.
3. Help page added (to be expanded)
4. Set minimum time limit between different attempt for a given exam – Intelligence module only.

The new version is free for users who purchased after January 15th 2012. Anyone else can upgrade for 40% of the regular price which currently means only $18.80.

The new Reporting module will be useful for all kind of education and training sites whose webmasters want their users to have more impressive and catching way of tracking their progress. The module can be purchased separately for $27. You need WatuPRO 3.0 or  newer to use it.

A new version of WatuPRO is now available. Here are more details:

1. WordPress shortcodes to display all exams or exam of selected category in any post or page
2. “My certificates” page for the user so they can access their certificates any time
3. The blog administrator also has “My exams” page for easier testing
4. Previous button is now optional, configurable for every test
5. Grade title and description can be included separately on the final screen
6. The usual portion of bug fixes and localization improvements

This upgrade is still free for all old customers because we released the first version of this software just an year ago. So feel free to mail me or download the latest version from the CalendarScripts Member’s area.

The safe upgrade procedure remains the same.

There has been important update to our WordPress tests plugin WatuPRO:

In addition to the usual small or not so small bug fixes, there are several nice new features:

1. Previous (back) button to go back and fix already answered or skipped question. So many people asked for this, so here it is. Of course the button is accessible only until the exam is submitted.

2. Detailed export of taker’s data. You can now get points, grade, etc along with the answer given to every question in the exported CSV file. The old short format remains available.

3. Optional reCaptcha to prevent spam bots from submitting your exams. This of course makes more sense on “open” exams that require no user login.

4. Option to redirect to URL instead of showing a grade. I was surprised that many people asked for this, so here is it now available. Enabling it is very simple – just enter valid URL instead of grade title.

5. Grades can be calculated as % correct answers (Intelligence module  feature). Some customers wanted to calculate grade based on % of correct answers instead of defined points. This will be especially useful for exams that often get questions added or edited. Available in the Intelligence module.

As our first order of WatuPRO is from 2012, everyone gets this upgrade for free again. I’ll be sending email newsletter but if you don’t get your upgrade just contact me at info@calendarscripts.info as usual.
