Ouija, thanks for testing and letting me know! I’m glad to know that it works fine with Captivate 5.5. I don’t know of a modified version which implements different question types.

I do intend to continue working on this project and to enhance it so that it can accommodate more question/scored interaction types. I would also like to continue work on the backend of it (the web app part where the scores are stored).

I have tested your script with Captivate 5.5 and can verify that it indeed still works well with multiple choice questions, and even possibly true and false ones as well. I did have issues with fill-in-the-blank questions and haven’t tested others; I am curious if you might be willing to update it to handle other question types or if anyone has a modified version that supports other question types.

Thanks for your hard work nonetheless, this at least gives me a starting point with storing results in a database. :)

Too busy for any consulting at the moment, Clay, though I appreciate the offer. I haven’t tested with Cp5 yet, but I suspect it will work and I haven’t had any bug reports to the contrary.

James

Have you upgraded this to Captivate 5? Respond to my email address. Would like to talk to you about consulting work.

thanks
Clay

Point of clarification: this is a web application. It will only work via a web server. If you're testing locally, on Windows, I recommend WAMP Server http://www.wampserver.com/en/. If you're on OS X, I recommend MAMP http://www.mamp.info/en/index.html. This was the issue in Jose's case, and I've had at least one other request for help recently for which it was also the case. If you need a web host, you might consider A2 Hosting. That's what I use. Here's my refer-a-friend link (yeah, I get a kickback): http://www.a2hosting.com/refer/19457

In cases where I’ve seen this before, the issue is trying to use a question type other than multiple-choice. The current version only supports multiple-choice interactions.

Hi,
I followed it and got it working. No error occurred on the process and data were saved in database, it’s just that the data were not accurate/correct as per quiz results. coreMaxScore and coreMinScore appeared to be the date and time I have saved the data instead of scores. Did I miss something? Please help asap. Thanks!

Per the instructions, these files only work on a web server. You can set up a local web server for testing (e.g. MAMP (OS X), WAMP (Windows), XAMPP (Linux) if you'd like to test locally. I test them using MAMP and generally also test via my the same web server which runs this blog, which is yet another LAMP stack.

Hey

Thank you for this solution.

I’ve done everything as per your instructions (even used your sample files) but when I click on “send email) nothing really happens. Im not sure what im doing wrong. Do these files have to be uploaded to a web server or can I use it localy from my pc?

Thanx in advanced
