Quizmaker + WordPress + Plugin..plus plus plus

Hi Adam-

Are you using Brian's plug-in now? I'm unable to get it to work on any of my blogs even on different servers. It could be the latest version of WordPress that's causing issues.

I see what you mean re: the screenshot. One thing you could try is opening your published Quizmaker .zip file and renaming quiz.html to player.html

It's possible that the plug-in is looking for the player.html file? I don't know, it's just a guess.

You should still be able to embed your Quizmaker files into WordPress. You could copy the iframe code that Brian's plug-in generates and update it with the url to your quiz.html file. I think you know that and you're probably more focused on getting the quiz to display in the media gallery.

Can you try changing the quiz.html name to see if that helps at all? I'm sorry I can't test anything here--the plugin uploads my file but never completes the process. Brian's out this week, but I'll connect with him when he gets back to see if there's an update to the plug-in.

Hi David 

Yes, I actually do have the plugin working at the moment.. works fine.... but would like to have an easier way to have a list of quizes, that then use a fancybox overlay work.  

I can try the name change form quiz to player.. see if that fixes anything..but guess not.. since it is working.. 

Actually, pretty sure the only way to really make this "simple" for client will be to have them upload via FTP and note the naming/directory to then use a different plugin (ThickBox Content) instead of the Articulate plugin..then link to the iframe etc... It's not "one click simple".. but I'll just document the process for the client and go from there. 

Okay, that might be only option now. I forwarded this thread to Brian so he can take a look. I never tried the plugin with anything other than Presenter but since it's working with Engage for you, I dont see why it wouldn't work with Quizmaker. 

Hi Adam,

I just got back from vacation and David forwarded me your question.  The plugin was developed to provide an easy way to get Articulate content embedded as an iframe into Wordpress.  Sometimes, the content will not upload properly due to settings on the server side.  Most of the issues that I've seen are documented here:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/insert-or-embed-articulate-content-into-wordpress/faq/

You've stated that you were able to find a workaround.  Is everything working as expected now?

Hi Brian  - 

Welcome back... hope vacation (?) was good!  

The plugin actually works for me. no errors to speak of.. rather the section where you can "see" them after you've uploaded them to the server.. that doesn't work.

The work around I think that I will offer my client will be using dropbox public folder..  it's a bit slower on load time, but i'll work for now.  If you ever upgrade the plugin, I'd love to see some sort of fancybox implementation.    Overall goal was to have a list of quizes for a subject/page on a wordpress site.. then click that quiz or graphic.. have the quiz pop up (fancybox) on that page.... that vs 1 quiz per page..  etc..

that said... its doable.. and not "hard" but more steps for the newer person working in WP with some copy/pasting of code.

Gotcha.  Fancybox / Shadowbox / Lightbox integration is something that I'm looking into for future versions.
