• Added option to limit the number of words on open-end questions. When limiting the words, a word counter will appear under the text box.

• The WordPress “embed” shortcode can now be used in questions to embed videos and other objects.
• The design adjustment for mobile devices (distance between question choices) now supports px and em and defaults to 0.5 em.

• When copying quiz you can now filter questions by category.
• When copying quiz you can now filter questions by tags.
• Added tags to quizzes for filtering in the administration.
• Added parameter “cat_id” to the watupro-result shortcode. It lets you show the result for a specific question category.
• Filters used on the “View results” page will now apply if you blank out  or cleanup taking data (instead of blanking out or deleting all quiz results).

• Added compatibility with the latest bridge to BuddyPress (https://blog.calendarscripts.info/watupro-bridge-to-buddypress/).

The shortcode watuprolist lets you output a dynamic list of quizzes in a given category or all categories. Here’s how to use it to show the quizzes in one category:

[watuprolist cat_id=X]

Replace X with the actual quiz category ID. For example [watuprolist cat_id=3].

To show the quizzes from all categories use the shortcode this way: [watuprolist cat_id=”ALL”]

Ordering the quizzes

You can order the quizzes by title or by date of creation (latest on top or first on top). To do this add the attribute “orderby” to the shortcode.

Example: [watuprolist cat_id=”ALL” orderby=”latest”] or [watuprolist cat_id=5 orderby=”title”] or [watuprolist cat_id=1 orderby=”created”]

Note that all these shortcodes will display only the published tests. A quiz which is not published inside a post or page, or is deactivated will not be shown.

Design the list

By default the shortcode returns a simple list with <p> tags for each quiz. You can however pass your own HTML design enclosed by the shortcode using some variables:

• {{{quiz-name}}} for the quiz name.
• {{{quiz-url}}} for the quiz URL so you can link to it (this will return just the URL and NOT a clickable link. So use “<a href” tag.
• {{{quiz-description}}} for the quiz description (if any)
• {{{quiz-thumbnail}}} for the quiz thumbnail if any. It will generate an “<img src” tag with class “watupro-quiz-thumbnail” in case there is an image. In case there is no image it will return nothing. Note that the image size will not be specified in the img tag. You can use the CSS class if you wish to fix the image size.
• {{{quiz-thumbnail-url}}} will return the URL of the quiz thumbnail. This variable could be useful in case you want to use your own “<img src” tag with some extra attributes. Use it only if all your quizzes have thumbnails – otherwise you’ll get some broken images displayed.
• {{{quiz-category}}} for the quiz category – useful if you list tests from all categories.

Here is an example how to use the shortcode with your own design. Since this example uses WatuPRO’s built-in flex class it will nicely align the quizzes into responsive floating rectangles:

<div class="watupro-flex">
[watuprolist cat_id="ALL"]
<div class="watupro-quiz-item">
<h3>{{{quiz-name}}}</h3>
<a href="{{{quiz-url}}}"><img src="{{{quiz-thumbnail-url}}}" /></a>
<div class="description">
<p>{{{quiz-description}}}</p>
<p><a href="{{{quiz-url}}}">Take quiz</a></p>
</div>
</div>
[/watuprolist]
</div>


Here’s how this looks for example on our demo site:

Of course you may use your own completely different design with CSS classes from your site theme.

Version 3.1 of the premium drip-marketing and autoresponder plugin Arigato PRO is now ready. Here’s the change log:

• Added option to copy subscribers from one list to another. The copied subscribers will have the same signup date as in the old list.
• The web based cron-job option will now rely on WP Cron like other plugins. This will ensure more reliable email sending to users who can’t run real cron jobs and better control.
• Added WooCommerce integration. If WooCommerce is installed you can enable the integration from Arigato Pro Settings page. Then you’ll be able to assign products to mailing lists so when a product is purchased the customer is automatically subscribed to the mailing list.
