Use Mad Blanks to set up a quiz or survey on your Joomla site and respond to the user any number of ways with a Score Script.

Quick Tip

Mad Blanks can be used to give quizzes. Ask true/false, yes/no, multiple choice, and fill-in-the-blank questions. You can specify correct answers (as in a math quiz) or interpret any answer (as in a personality quiz). You can assign different point values for different answers to the same question.

Now you can show average scores and pie charts in your Score Script results!

Upgrade instructions are included in this article. 

I have released Mad Blanks 1.3.0 Beta 1.

Add pie charts and bar graphs to your Joomla quiz or survey results This release adds several new features to the Score Scripting capabilities, including the ability to display aggregate statistics. Now you can display statistics about all the collected records, such as averages, a count of how many records have been submitted, and the standard deviation of the dataset. Perhaps most exciting, Mad Blanks now has the ability to display bar graphs and pie charts to help your users visualize the data you have collected!

Since this is brand new functionality and the documentation for it is limited, please go ahead and use the support forum to ask your questions about how to use it if you cannot figure it out. I am also looking for your suggestions for improvements on the forum!

The following major features have been added or modified in Mad Blanks 1.3.0 Beta 1:

Score Scripting special tag reference
Mad Blanks Information

The Score Script is the key area in which the administrator configures how Joomla! responds to the website user as well as other actions Joomla! performs at the time when a Mad Blanks quiz/survey or other Mad Blanks input form is submitted. Other actions besides displaying dynamic text and HTML to the user can include initiating email or calling Plugins (formerly known as Mambots) that operate on the output of the Score Script.

Go directly to the Score Script special tag reference

Note to advanced users of Joomla!: While by no means required to create a useful Score Script, calling a Plugin within the Score Script that allows the use of inline PHP (such as the new Jumi 2.1 Beta 3) greatly enhances the power of the Score Script, because all of the Score Script variables documented below can be passed to PHP code for further processing, making the possibilities for creating the output you desire virtually limitless. Since a Score Script can include HTML, it is also possible to pass these variables to JavaScript code that runs in the user's browswer.

Remember that the PHP will operate on the final output generated by the Score Script. That means you can pass Score Script variables/output to PHP or JavaScript but you cannot pass PHP or JavaScript back to the Score Script.
