Question Mini-manual? Tutorial?

[slinky]

A couple of questions:

1. Is there some type of minimanual that explains what all these options really mean? For example, all I needed to do was set up a true/false yes/no right/wrong type of quiz with two answers but I couldn't find an easy way to do it. What do all these types mean?

Multiple Choice -- Understand that
Multiple Selection -- What does this mean? You can choose A and D, B and C?
Double Ended -- Have no idea what this means.
Essay --- got it.
Short Answer -- what is this? The same as essay but limited to fewer words?
Matching -- What does this mean exactly?
Result Generator -- Not sure what this means.
Advanced Result Generator --- Ditto.
Personality by Cosmic -- I'm assuming this is the Captain America / Superhero test?

2. Do you have a tutorial on proper setup? It would help greatly if you could provide the following:

a - typical permissions that are setup for a site. Right now by default everything installs with nothing checked and I'm not 100% sure if it works the way I think and it would be controlled by trial and error.

b - a tutorial in setting up a quiz, start to end with 2-3 questions. I'm pretty swift but sometimes I don't know what you guys are thinking in terms of how to create a quiz properly since they are all different and apparently are also scored differently as well.

My goal is in setting up two kinds of quizzes: multiple choice and true/false with an answer that provides an explanation as to why the answer we selected is right and the others are wrong.

Dylan has been working on one:

Many thanks. Incomplete but well received. I'm always impressed by the effort and thought that is involved here. The plugin certainly still needs work and is a bit crude but it's clear that much planning went into it and its just a matter of time before the kinks are worked out. Great job, really.

One bug I'll report -- cannot rename vbquiz.php and get it to work. If you rename it in the admincp directory you get a page not found. It does work even if i rename the file and save it in settings. Why... I have no idea. Makes no sense unless the settings isn't using the setting and has vbquiz.php hard coded somewhere.

What else would you like to see in the manual? I believe I covered all the areas. Maybe there is something that's not detailed in there that I overlooked?

A couple of things - remembering immediately, the list of types of quizzes is not complete. It's missing a couple of them and it should also be copied into the section "quiz types." Otherwise it's pretty good.

Ah yes, it was missing the Personality by Cosmic. I added it and copied it to the quiz type admin section.
