Quiz System PRO - Gamification, Analytics, Certificate & User Engagement 1.5.6

Hello everyone!We have just released a maintenance update for the Quiz System (v1.5.6) to address a few bugs reported in the previous version and to improve the overall stability of the add-on.

Changelog / What's fixed in 1.5.6:

• Admin CP Edit Fix: Resolved an issue where editing and saving an existing quiz via the Admin CP would incorrectly create a duplicate entry instead of updating the original one.
• Admin CP Category Dropdown: Fixed a bug that caused the Category selection dropdown to appear empty when editing a quiz from the Admin panel.
• XP & Level Synchronization: Unified the XP calculation engine across the entire board. The Global Podium, the Top Users widget, and the Postbit User Levels are now perfectly synchronized and will strictly count points earned from "visible" quizzes only.
• Widget UI Improvements: Fixed a minor visual glitch with the border-radius on the Top Users widget and added full support for the new Dark Glass UI mode.

We highly recommend all users on v1.5.5 to upgrade to this version for a smoother and more consistent experience.

You can download the update right now. Thank you for your continued support and feedback!

We are thrilled to announce a massive new update for the Quiz System! This release focuses heavily on aesthetics, introduces highly requested features, and improves overall system stability.

Here is what’s new in this version:

1. Stunning "Dark Glass UI" Mode (PRO Exclusive)We have introduced a completely new rendering engine for dark themes! If you run a dark style on your board, you can now enable the "Glass UI" from the Admin CP. This applies a gorgeous, modern Glassmorphism effect (blurred semi-transparent backgrounds, neon-glowing badges, and sleek borders) to all Quiz pages (Index, View, Take, Leaderboard, Results).This is a PRO-only feature and a great way to make your community look incredibly premium.

2. Global Podium & Individual Quiz LeaderboardsThe Quiz Index page just got a massive visual upgrade! We've added a dynamic, 3D-style podium that showcases the Top 3 players globally based on their total XP points. Additionally, a public leaderboard system is now available for each individual quiz, boosting user engagement and competition.

3. "View Results" Dashboard for Authors & AdminsThis was a highly requested feature! Quiz authors (and Administrators) now have a dedicated "Results" button on their quizzes. This opens a private dashboard showing exactly who took the quiz, their exact score, pass/fail status, and the date. To handle large quizzes, we also built-in a Pagination system and a Search Bar.

4. Bug Fixes & Submission Flow ImprovementsWe completely rebuilt the quiz submission flow to fix some technical behaviors and improve reliability:

• No more popups: Submitting a quiz now safely redirects the user to a dedicated, full-page Result Dashboard, rather than opening a quick AJAX popup.
• BFCache Blocking: If a user tries to hit the "Back" button in their browser after finishing a quiz, the system intercepts it, forces a hard page reload, and clears the inputs. This prevents duplicate or altered submissions and locks the user out if they have exhausted their max attempts.

5. Beautiful "Max Attempts Reached" PageWhen a user runs out of allowed attempts for a specific quiz, they will no longer see a generic error. We built a beautiful, dedicated landing page (fully compatible with the new Glass UI) that clearly shows their used attempts and guides them back to the quiz list.

You can download the update right now. As always, let us know your feedback!

Update Highlights:This release focuses on refining the user experience based on community feedback. We have improved the code structure, polished the UI, and verified compatibility with the latest XenForo versions.

Changelog:

• Improved User Experience (Free Users): We have removed the intrusive overlay popup for free users. Limits are now handled more gracefully without interrupting navigation.
• Visual Fixes: Fixed a graphical issue where icons in Quiz Results were not displaying correctly. The layout is now consistent.
• Category View Restored: Restored the classic, highly appreciated graphical style for the Category Grid (white cards with gradient icons and "Open Category" buttons).
• Admin Analytics Teaser: Admins without a Pro license can now see a preview of the Analytics section in the Quiz Index (displayed with a blurred visual effect), while Pro users get full access.
• Template & Code Updates: Fixed specific bugs within the template code and updated the syntax to fully comply with XenForo 2.3.9 specifications.
• Performance: General code refactoring, optimization, and cleanup for better performance and stability.

Upgrade is recommended for all users.

Version 1.5.1 is here!

This is a major stability release. We have combined the core rewrite of 1.5.0 with immediate logic improvements from 1.5.1 to ensure a rock-solid experience for both new users and existing communities.

Changelog & Key Features​

1. Notification System: Restored & Optimized
The "New Quiz" alert system is back and better than ever!

• Background Processing: Notifications are now processed via the Job Manager queue. This ensures that creating a quiz is instant—even if you have thousands of followers—without slowing down the page load.
• Follower Alerts: When a user creates a quiz, their followers will now correctly receive an alert.
• Fixed previous SQL errors related to alert delivery.

2. Installation & Routing Fixes

• Fixed "Page Not Found": We resolved a critical issue where fresh installations (clean installs) would result in 404 errors. The routing system now uses a standardized structure, ensuring compatibility with all server environments.

3. Stricter Data Validation
We improved the "Create Quiz" controller to prevent user errors:

• Mandatory Category: It is no longer possible to create a quiz without selecting a category. The system throws a clear error message instead of creating "orphan" quizzes.
• Duplicate Prevention: Added a check to prevent accidental double submissions (e.g., double-clicking save) that resulted in duplicate quizzes.

4. Smarter "Free vs Pro" Logic

• Free Version: Works out-of-the-box without errors. No license key is required to play (includes footer branding).
• PRO Version: Inserting your license key instantly unlocks advanced features (Charts, Certificates, White-labeling, etc.).

5. SEO & Technical Improvements

• Added proper canonical tags to Quiz View templates to prevent duplicate content issues and improve SEO.
• Verified full compatibility with XenForo 2.3.8.

This release brings a unique visual touch and a massive overhaul to the Notification System. We focused on stability, performance, and pure style.

New "Italian Style" PRO Widget We have reimagined the sidebar widget for PRO users with a touch of class:

• Dynamic UI: The progress bar now features a fresh Cyan-to-Aqua gradient, and interactions are smoother than ever.

Rebuilt Notification System

• Smart Alerts: Notifications are now handled by a dedicated Alert Handler.
• User Choice: Added a native "Opt-Out" preference. Users can now disable "New Quiz" alerts directly from their account settings.

Technical Improvements

• Code cleanup: Removed deprecated content types and unused templates.
• Fixed permissions and edge cases for deleted quizzes.
• Optimized queries for the leaderboard.
