Turn Multiple-Answer Gaps Into Drop-downs And Other Advanced Adjustments

You know that the Intelligence module of WatuPRO allows you to create “fill the gaps” questions. Each of the “gaps” (blanks) can have multiple correct answers when you use the following format:

The apple can be {{{green|red|yellow}}}

In the above example if the user fills green, or red, or yellow in the generated text field, their answer will be correct.

From version 5.0.2 the same format can be used for different purpose by selecting the following checkbox on the Edit Question page:

gaps-dropdownsWhen this is selected, all the gaps that have more than one answer within the question will be turned into drop-down selector. The drop-down selector will have one option for each answer given. The first answer that you have given is the only correct answer. But of course, it will not be shown first – the selections will be randomized so the user will not know which is the correct answer.

So if we use the above example, the correct answer will be “green” and red / yellow will not be correct.

This setting is per-question so it will affect all the blanks within the selected question.

Other Fill The Gaps Adjustments

You can create a “placeholder” for each regular gap (not for drop-downs) to give a hint or remind for the supported format in the gap like this:

One dollar has {{{100|placeholder="numbers only"}}} cents in it.

For gaps that allow multiple correct answers you can do the same – just make sure the placeholder is the last value:

A good apple color can be {{{green|red|yellow|placeholder="type color name"}}}.

On the WatuPRO Settings page you can define the width and height of the gaps. Sometimes you may need to apply specific CSS style to an individual gap. You can do this by passing an inline style as last answer for the gap (in case there is a placeholder, style should be after it). Examples:

One dollar has {{{100|placeholder="numbers only"|style="font-weight:bold;"}}} cents in it.

A good apple color can be {{{green|red|yellow|style="width:150px;"}}}.

Slider / Rating Widget Questions in WatuPRO + Intelligence 4.7.8

From version 4.7.8 the WordPress quiz plugin WatuPRO supports a new question type – slider / rating. Here is how it looks on the front-end:

slider

The slider can have any range. In this example we have selected from 1 to 100.

Slider questions often don’t need correct or wrong answers, but if you want to set such, you have the option to define unlimited number of correct / wrong ranges. Here is how this looks. This is how you define the slider range:

slider-setupAnd this is how you can define correct/wrong ranges and add points if you wish:

slider-answers

That’s it. At the end of the quiz, the slider displays the rating / value given by the user with or without correct / wrong checkmark depending on your preferences:

[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.
