quizki's Issues

List All Questions should show the question type

Ale's suggestions...

• DONE -- In create question, change choices to answers..
• REVISIT - the splash screen, be more verbose.
• WONTFIX FOR NOW - home page, lowercase..
• DONE -- need some kind of user guide
• DONE - add a profile page...
• WONTFIX -- change correct but not chosen color to blue (and also say 'correct' on the correct answer, regardless)

Order of choices on multiple questions (and likely others) is not being preserved

Go through the 4 quizki questions, and move back and forth through the list.. not the position of choices on multiple questions..

After creating a question, display question should have a back link to Create Question

Currently the back link is to List All Questions.

List Of Exams should have a message when user searches of their exams, and there are none.

Ask people truthy questions. And see who says what. Then sell that to somebody.

So, there could be.. questions like, questions for philosophy majors, or whatever, whoever majors, and it would express the same point of view as the source material, but then add some other aspect that the source material doesn't. For instance.. in this About.com article, which supposedly is relatively credible, it says that Machiavelli, wrote the Prince from the point of view of a public official, a man of the people, in response to the Medici, the bank controlling the people, as they did indeed control the money. The source article doesn't mention that detail, so the questions would be like that. and we would ask, this is a correct interpretation or whatever, and since yes it is indeed, and backed up by references, we would measure how many people did agree with it.This could of course apply to many topics.

Make text window resizable in Create Question

Close new user page, such that to use the app, people need to send me an email request.

See Issue #19

Save work in progress

Sometimes you're just not ready to finish that question/exam. There should be a way to save it in an incomplete status.

Make quizki safe for multi tab browsing

You should be able to browse in one tab, without messing up the state of another tab.

List Exams should function the same as List Questions

GenerateExam should post error msg when no topics selected

Use multiple everywhere instead of multi..

About page

mention that the project is being actively developed, changes happen most every day, and please comment, give suggestions, etc.

Should not need to press the individual button to add an attribute in Create Question

If you are creating a question, and you fill out the Topics field but do not press the Add Topics button, instead pressing Add Question or Add Reference, etc, the value in the field should be processed as if you had pressed the button.

Display Exam needs an option to not allow questions to be displayed

Because then of course, you can see the answers on the questions before taking the exam...

In create question, hitting Enter should submit a text fields value.

In the Answers, Topics, and Reference fields.

Add email confirmation to new user process

DisplayQuestion should have an edit link.

Add a quick jump bar to TakeExam.jsp

Once the user has reached ExamWillBeGraded.jsp, if they go back, add a means of quickly jumping around the exam.. no need to click next/prev through X questions when one click will do.

in display question, sequential answers should be listed sequentially (not random)

GenerateExam should not generate with less than one selected topic.

Checkboxes on Generate Exam Included/Excluded topics should be removed

They have no meaning.. The clear button clears everything, so no need to allow selecting one or two..

References to web sites should be active links

References to web sites should be active links.

DisplayQuestion needs tooltips

When presenting answers from an exam, there should be tooltips to say what the colors and fonts of the answers mean.

Error with Go Back after hitting Begin Exam

Bounce Tomcat.
See a list of exams
Take Exam
Go back
Login
You are sent to begin exam, though I think you should be sent to List of exams.

Need to capture Go Back in browser, to handle initialization

Was: Once a question is saved, it should be cleared from the cache.

The issue is if you create and save a question, then display it, and then go back, and then enter a new question, attributes of the previous question are still in memory, corrupting the newly entered question.

List All Questions, filtering is not working as designed

If you search for text that is in the description, and not in the text, it won't find it.. and it should.

Delete Question button on Edit Exam isn't working..

Improve display of long questions in exam.jsp

In exam.jsp, if a question is over 175 characters, it is truncated.

Changes..

1. There should be an ellipse at the end of the text.
2. The code should check, how wide is the Quizki window?, and truncate the questions at an appropriate length.. The question text should never wrap (be too long for one line), nor should it be way short if there is more room to display text on a single line.

Using javascript, we'll have to determine how wide is the screen.. then using JSTL functions, assign the question text/description to a variable, then truncate the string as appropriate.

Exam report card should use the description when it is available.

Answers to String questions are not being remember on Next and then Prev

Use the quizki set, when the string question is answered, and then you go back to it the text is not in the field as expected.

Choices should be randomly displayed

When displaying choices in takeExam.jsp, the order of the choices should be random.

After generate exam, display exam should have the return link at the top

rather than the bottom

Make reference field bigger

create/edit question

Create Exam is not listing the description when it is available.

Create Exam should allow user to only see questions that they have entered, or all questions.

See Issue #35

Twitter integration

When a person selects something from Quizki, it should include, when pasted in Twitter (or elsewhere?) a link to the site, and appropriate hashtags..

Add means of expiring Session attributes

So instead of the ResetStateFilter, how about a way of setting an expiration on an attribute we set on the session. And then another way of saying when the index page (or any other?) is reached, clear these attributes. Maybe thats the same thing.

But I could see ResetStateFilter getting very big.. and rather than maintaining that, we could tell when the the attribute was set, "Oh yea, thats gonna be cleared when the index page is called.", so we know those things won't be around and thus the session is clean(er), and the code is clean(er).

BeginExam.jsp should report errors when called with no exam set

Though this will only happen when called directly, it is still feasible.

Unit tests are needed!

When parsing CSV lists, remove leading spaces

Sequence fields should be limited to 2 characters.

DisplayQuestion, move Go Back link to top

after an exam (if not elsewhere), on display question, show the link to Go Back at the top, rather than the bottom

Description not showing when taking an exam

Add the ability to define an order to questions, to define sets of questions

Add the ability to say if Question X appears in an exam, Question Y must come after it. Add the ability to define sets of questions in this manner.

Perhaps this is a precursor to being able to define exams that are not random, but in which the order of the questions is defined and consistent.

GenerateExam, is saying the Topic table doesn't exist

Choose Those with Questions I created, and the Filter, and you get the exception...

provide a way of suggesting suggestions to other question authors.

on generate exam, by default only show topics of questions the user created

Investigate why /*Servlet appears in the URL, and what can be done to alleviate said condition.
