Mad Blanks - Quiz and survey web software

Quick Tip

Mad Blanks form validation allows you to specify that only certain text or certain patterns of text may be entered into a given field by the website user. Examples of this include requiring that only digits be entered for a postal code, and only a certain number of them, and that only two uppercase letters be entered to represent a state or province.

What does Mad Blanks do?

Written by Chris Hallett

Collect, store, and display form input (or just store and display admin input--see below). Give quizzes or surveys and respond to what the user entered with powerful and flexible Score Scripts. (Selected Score Scripting examples: Display confirmation of what the user entered right after s/he does it; for quizzes, show percentage correct, points earned per response, points earned per question, total points, loop through each question and show if it was correct or not [and give correct answer]; use conditional operators; send highly configurable email; more features too.) Textarea, radio buttons, checkboxes, pulldown menus, and multiple choice menus can be used. The original purpose for this versatile component was to have users fill in Mad Libs, and this can still be done as well as implementing quotations with authors and additional fields (example: a mini-biography of the quoted person). Linkable quotes, food orders, and reviews are possible--anything involving a fill in the blanks scenario in which you or your users fill in the blanks and you surround the blanks with configurable HTML and/or text, all with CSS formatting. It is analogous to a database used to fill in form letters. You could do all above mentioned things at once by using multiple categories.

[ Back ]

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.

Mad Blanks Quiz

This is an example quiz for you to try that was created with the Mad Blanks component and its "Create Single Record" module. Please fill in the answer(s) to each question and Mad Blanks will score your submission when you are done.

Display Module

This is the Mad Blanks Display module. It is configured to display three random records stored on the site. These are only examples. As a Joomla! website author, you can create any Mad Lib or other category you would like to!

Humpty Dumpty sat on a squirrel. Humpty Dumpty had a big hair net. All the king's horses and all the king's frequent flyer miles couldn't grab Humpty together again!
