A jQuery plugin for creating pretty, dynamic quizzes.
See index.html for demo and suggested HTML structure (the element class names are the important part).
See js/slickQuiz-config.js to set up your quiz copy and questions.
To initialize your quiz:
$(function () {
$('#slickQuiz').slickQuiz();
});
json (JSON Object) - your quiz JSON, pass this instead of setting quizJSON outside of the plugin (see js/slickQuiz-config.js)
checkAnswerText (String) - the text to use on the check answer button
nextQuestionText (String) - the text to use on the next question button
backButtonText (String) - the text to use on the back button, if left null / blank (default) - no back button will be displayed
randomSortQuestions (Boolean) - whether or not to randomly sort questions ONLY, defaults to false
randomSortAnswers (Boolean) - whether or not to randomly sort answers ONLY, defaults to false
randomSort (Boolean) - whether or not to randomly sort questions AND their answers (overrides randomSortQuestions and randomSortAnswers), defaults to false. NOTE: this will be deprecated in a future release.
preventUnanswered (Boolean) - prevents submitting a question with zero answers, defaults to false
completionResponseMessaging (Boolean) - Hides all correct / incorrect response messages until the quiz is completed (nextQuestion button replaces checkAnswer button), defaults to false
disableResponseMessaging (Boolean) - Hides all correct / incorrect response messages (nextQuestion button replaces checkAnswer button), defaults to false
disableNext (Boolean) - prevents submitting a question with zero answers, defaults to false. You should now use preventUnanswered instead.
Want to manage your quizzes in a content management system?
Simply translate your CMS quiz data into a JSON object formatted like "quizJSON" in js/slickQuiz-config.js. Then assign it as the quizJSON variable instead of loading js/slickQuiz-config.js.
Alternatively, you can pass the JSON right into the plugin using the "json" option (useful if you are placing multiple quizzes on a page):
$(function () {
$('#slickQuiz').slickQuiz({json: {YOUR_JSON_HERE}});
});
The slickQuiz ID and class names are what are important here:
<body id="slickQuiz">
<h1 class="quizName"></h1>
<div class="quizArea">
<div class="quizHeader">
<a class="startQuiz" href="">Get Started!</a>
</div>
</div>
<div class="quizResults">
<h3 class="quizScore">You Scored: <span></span></h3>
<h3 class="quizLevel"><strong>Ranking:</strong> <span></span></h3>
<div class="quizResultsCopy"></div>
</div>
</body>
See js/slickQuiz-config.js
var quizJSON = {
"info": {
"name": "The Quiz Header",
"main": "The Quiz Description Text",
"results": "The Quiz Results Copy",
"level1": "The highest ranking",
"level2": "The almost highest ranking",
"level3": "The middle ranking",
"level4": "The almost lowest ranking",
"level5": "The lowest ranking"
},
"questions": [
{
"q": "The Question?",
"a": [
{"option": "an incorrect answer", "correct": false},
{"option": "a correct answer", "correct": true},
{"option": "another correct answer", "correct": true}
],
"correct": "The Correct Response Message",
"incorrect": "The Incorrect Response Message"
}
]
}
