probeme with ID
-
I use your plugin but I have a problem with ID, the IDs are not correct I have IDs that go up to 20 while I have 17 questions which causes a problem when I arrive at the 17 th question because it creates 3 empty questions before giving me the result. My question is how to change the order of IDs?

@prasunsen, I think I know. I struggled with this in the beginning.
When you create questions, they are “ID-numbered” (each question has a unique ID-number).
When you create a quizz, every question in it is order-numbered (you can reorganize the order and the order-number changes).When you erase/delete a question, it’s ID-number disappears and is not recycled.
However, the way it is implemented, when you are CREATING quizzes, the ID-numbers look like order-numbers, and when you delete a question, so you end up with ID-numbers that do not exist anymore and if you still confuse ID-numbers with order-numbers, you’re in for a lot of fun.
So @gerardphilippe: that is your answer.
Each question has a UNIQUE ID-number that cannot be recycled because it is used by the software to identify it uniquely.
Each question in a quizz has an order-number that reflects its position in the quizz. When yo reorder questions in a quizz, each question’s order number might change, but it’s ID-number will never change.
When you delete a question, it’s ID-number disappears altogether. It will NOT be recycled.
If you don’t like it, then instead of deleting questions, modify them. 🙂Look at the top of your questions list in the quizz (questions management, not the actual front-end quizz) and you will see:
A check box “title”/ a “#” title / an “ID” title
the # title column is for the question order number within any given quizz (changeable)
the ID column gives you the unique ID-number of each question.NB: if you Duplicate a question, the duplicate is given a different ID-number.
Hope this helps.
