Hi, I have searched the forums but unable to find any posts on what I am trying to do. My company has created a quiz in quizmaker and then published to Presenter 09. Instead of emailing the results, we want the results to write to a sql database. Has anyone had any luck doing this?
Some of our customers are successfully sending Quizmaker results via PHP or by using a database, but these methods are not supported by Articulate. You can learn more about these methods here:
Jason, did you get any solution to this problem? I need to do the same thing in my company....the posts above seem to show conversation from3 plus years ago and don't seem to provide a solution, unless I've overlooked it. Thanks!
I spent many hours reading and trying to implement the solutions suggested on the forums to get QM quiz results to a MySQL database. I could never get it to work. Finally, in frustration I hired a programming company to create a solution. They did a fantasic job, both to track quizzes directly from Quiz Maker and from QM quizzes embedded within Presenter. The way they set it up as that I can now send overall quiz results to one database table, and individual question results to another table. Also, unlike some of the work-arounds suggested in the forums, the data is sent to the database tables when the user clicks on any of the buttons on the results page.
Save yourself the hassle! PM or e-mail me and I will give you the name of the company. Since they already have the code developed, I'm sure they will make it available inexpensively. Working directly with them will also allow you to have it customized exactly as you want.

PS. The reason that I prefer not to simply upload the code here is that I neither have the competence nor time to provide technical support if you run into problems. It is much more effective if you deal directly with the experts.

Tim, I have not found a solution for this. We decided to build a quiz in-house so that we could write it to a database.
OK - thanks, Jason - appreciate the info.

I have created an open source solution, see my post, it works the same way. It's MSSQL but I will work on a version to MySQL as well.

Is it possible to slide presenter output Pass/Fail Output save into my MSSQL database.
I don't know about the output format of Articulate Presenter. If it's compatible with QuizMaker then it should be possible.
