Posting results to adobe quiz analyser

Hi there,
I have since updated the adobe software on my pc and have also updated the course material within Captivate 7. Since doing this, I am unable to obtain any data from my local server using Adobe Captivate Quiz Analyser. I have all the detail that I need (both report and read php), folders I believe are set up correctly, however i am getting the following message continuously - can someone please help me ASAP? I have been working on this all week to make it work and even through a process of elimination, I am unable to ascertain with the problem is.

So I'm clear: you are trying to read the quiz results on the server using the Quiz Analyzer app and it is not retrieving them, correct?
If that is the case, then try making sure that the path you have entered in the Analyzer app is correctly pointed to the results php file. I can't remember off the top of my head whether it needs to be a complete path that includes the php file itself, or just the directory.
FWIW, I just set this up on a server a few weeks ago and it worked quite well for me. So it definitely works. I suspect the problem is likely pathing, either in your local app setting or on the server itself it changed.

Can I make the quiz "EXIT" or close after posting results?

I have been able to make the QUIZ post to my internal server, but after the "Name / Email" dialog box appears and posting is "successfully" done, the results screen remains visible (possibly allowing a second posting).
Is there any way to make the QUIZ close once the posting has occured?
Also, I noticed that if I choose not to display the score, the post results button does not appear. In order to hide the score, I change the fonts to match the background color. Perhaps there is a way around this too, as I am new to Captivate and don't know all the little tricks yet.

Thanks for your suggestions. Since I am considering having students take the exam I will be working with the school to see how to integrate with the LMS server. I suspect the variables will be passed directly and all will work out well.
When you said “the answers are sent at the point you submit each answer” I assume this is not the case with an internal server, which is why the results have to be posted by the user.
To that end, I am testing the exam with my internal server, which does capture the test results properly. But, this requires the appearance of the results slide, which opens a small dialog requesting name and email (although the email can be anything). Once the results are “posted successfully” the original results slide returns. I cannot even add a button, nor edit the action of existing buttons to continue to another slide --- it’s as if the program is hard-wired to only behave with the default buttons on the results slide.
I just wish there were a clean way of exiting the exam. The results slide only has an ENTER action, but no exit action choice in the properties. I am just unable to move to another slide beyond the results slide and I suspect that I am doing something wrong.
I appreciate your advice, so thank you for taking the time to discuss this with me.

Running the Lion Os requires a MINIMUM of 2 GB of RAM, as you have. However, with that little RAM the computer will have trouble with many memory based tasks, such as copying and pasting. You really need to increase the amount of RAM your computer has in order to increase its speed and performance. Now, when a task requires more RAM than your system has available then the OS will use some harddrive space temporarily instead. This is called "Virtual Memory." Is it possible that at this time that your harddrive is very full relative to its stated capacity, so that even "virtual memory" is not really available? If that is the case, you really need to cleanup your harddrive by deleting a fair number of less used files.
Hope this helps

Capturing the POST RESULTS function

Hi all,
Firstly, I have posted this question before some time ago, so I apologies to those that recognise it. I am hoping that after more people have had a go with Captivate 5 a solution to my question might be out there!
What I want to do is capture the fact that a user has posted their results. We use the (I must say impressive) quiz analyser, it has worked great for many a student and we are really happy with it, BUT we are trying desperately to find a way to move onto the next slide ONCE the user has posted the results. The reason for this is that we write quite a bit of information to a database once these results have been posted. This information can easily get lost if the user posts there results, thinks "great its all over" and closes the window. Our current workflow is post results and then hope the user hits another button to continue. If they dont the .php file does not get launched and we loose the db info!
Could anyone perhaps tell me what actually gets fired when the dialog window appears for the user to enter their post result data or if it is possible to capture the fact that results have been submitted?
Thanks so much,
Tristan

Running Quiz Analyser on a localserver

Hi There,
Is there anyone to help me with the content of my two internalserverread.php and internalserverreporting.php files??
There must be an error with the coding which I can't see it. they dont make the directory as its expecting to create.
and also, after submission of the test, an unknown error message pops up!

Hi Loveesh,
Thanks for the reply.
I actually followed all the steps exactly the same as video but the only difference is that, I already had an EasyPHP server instulled, which has Apache, MySql and PHP.
It runs properly and I can see the list of my captivate folders pulished over there, even the CaptivateResults forlder is atomatically generated.
but not the Company Folder, Department Folder and Course Folder.
However, as soon as I played around with the codes of my internalserverread.php and internalserverreporting.php files I could see changes. before I couldnt see anything within my quiz analyser application window but now I can only see the company name which is repeted for Department name and Course name!!
Thanks,
Shirin

CP6 internal server reporting modifications - Post Results - Continue button

I have searched the forum for similar issues, and have posed one or two questions, but I am struggling to get a clear direction as to how to post quiz results to an internal server automatically (including user variables), without the name/email dialog screen appearing. In addtion, to CLOSE the browser, on the Quiz Results slide,I have tried multiple options with the continue button, including a javascript command of:
top.window.close();
(courtesy of Colday213)
But this did not work for me when I tried to enter the script into the quiz preferences area (can't directly edit the continue button on the quiz results slide).
I have already been posting practice results to my website using the standard INTERNAL SERVER reporting method.
BUT --- here is my wish list --- to modify the process
1. Capture user variables (First name, Last name, student ID and student number) and post them with the quiz results. I have a slide setup to to do this.
2. Post results AUTOMATICALLY to the internal server without showing the Quiz Results slide at all.
3. Have the quiz exit the browser completely once the quiz has been taken.
My quiz results slide has TWO renamed buttons: SEND EXAM (Post results) and EXIT (Continue). My preferences on either pass or fail are "Continue". I have even made the "score" tiny font, and invisible (black text on black background), so the reults page shows (and which I wish did not appear).
Perhaps only a LMS is the method to allow the above, but I may not have an LMS option --- hence, the internal server method..

I will investigate the google spreadsheet option as that may solve the first two issues.
Regarding the last item, EXITING the quiz (closing the browser) --- since the user gets to an ending slide that asks them if they are satisfied with their user variables entered at the start, perhaps I can program the javascript "exit" command on that slide, once the use varifies the data is correct? Currently, a "continue" button appears after user data is verified, and then the button advances to the RESULTS slide, so that the resuls can be posted, which invokes the standard name/email dialog.
If the widget posts the quz results to the google spreadsheet after the last question has bee answered, then I can either HIDE (skip) the results slide, or choose "don't show" (uncheck) the quiz results box in the preferences, and have the verification slide appear. Then, I just need to make the browser close from there (probably with a button).
I will experiment with this option.
I was also wondering if I can edit the PHP file that collects the quiz results to include the user variables?

How can I change the login screen to post results to a local server?

I am using Captivate 5 and posting quiz results to a local server.
When students complete modules and then login to post quiz results, they see a login dialog box that instructs them to:
Enter Your Name:
Your Email ID:
Unfortunately, these are not the items I want reported to me. I have them enter an alternative ID in each field. Although I warn them to enter what I need rather than what the dialog box requests, inevitably some fail to do so.
Is there a way to alter what is displayed in this dialog box? I'm aware that some rdl files have default messages, but I do not know what file might control these messages.

As I thought, nobody is able to help me ><.
I found some new things like the CPGURU widget which seems to do exactly what I want for 50$ :
Quiz Data Extension Widget
Michael, the developper, figured out how to send the whole data avoiding the post results popup. I'd like to buy this but my superior doesn't agree.
I also tried to find by myself by decompiling(not sure of the word) the captivate published SWF:
Quiz data is send by a class named InternalServer extending a TrackingAdapter class.
Post results popup seems to be an instance of the "InputDialog" class.
If I can find the place where this AS3 script is generated I think I can modify it to match my needs.
I'll be happy to share the solution for free if I success.
Any clue ?

Adobe Quiz Recorder

Hi. I need to record the results of a quiz using adobe acrobat, How do I get the information once I send the quiz out to participants. Need help ASAP. Thanks

Hi,
If I understand correctly then you need to do reprting through acrobat.com. If so, then please refer to the below links that may help you:
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/publish-and-track-results/reporting-without-having-to-use-lms/
http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2010/08/adobe-captivate-quiz-result-analyzer.html
You need to use Quiz Result Analyzer that is installed with Captivate. You need to login using the same Adobe ID in Quiz result Analyzer which you have entered in Captivate settings. For this your users must have their own Adobe ID based on which you will be able to view their results.

No User Results for my Quiz Analyzer Captivate 6

Hi,
I have a Problem with getting the results of my Adobe Catipvate 6 Quiz. Just made a quiz an published it by Acrobat.com. The Student download and finished the Quiz and wanted to sent the Quiz Results to Acrobat.com.
He must put in his Email-Adress/Adobe ID and his password. After he clicks the publish button, there dissapears: Acrobat.com Failure, even when he has an Acrobat.com Account.
Can somebody help me to get the results of my students in the Quiz Analyzer tool?

Hi Vikram,
we already tried different Accounts and the students also acknowledged the Acrobat.com E-mail that there are different Information for them on Acrobat.com. They also have created an
Adobe ID before.
Hope you have another Idea.
Our main issue is to get the results of the survey of the students, that we can analyze them. The problem is we need the information what especially was the answer of
any single student so for example Student7 answered Question 2 with Answer B. There is no right or wrong in our survey.
Another Question would be, if we cannot fix that problem: Is there are an opportunity to get the results local for a survey or can we sent the quiz data in swf and html to the students, they
finish the survey and send us the data back? How we can get the results after that in our Quiz Analyzer Tool?
Maybe you have for that problem an idea?
Thanks,
Martin

Adobe Auto Analyser

I had a trial Adobe Elements 12 (from adobe not from app store)on my MacBook Pro retina (4 gb ram) but did not like it so uninstalled it, but Adobe Auto Analyser was still in login items, the performance on Mac mainly Pixelmator slowed to almost unusable level until i removed analyser. Now all ok as normal, is this the reason the PS Elements on app store does not contain organiser.
mike hawthorne

Did you use an Adobe uninstaller to uninstall PS Elements? If you did, it should have removed all vestiges of the application. And, if you did, you're going to have to contact Adobe (maybe through the Elements user forum -> https://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements) in order to get a straight answer.
I've never used PS Elements, only (now) PS CC 2014... so I'm not sure what this "Auto Analyser" is! Contact the user forum first and see if you can get an answer.

Puedes explicar lo de: por decirlo asi, Adobe te dice que no estas suscrita a ningun plan?

- Has intentado bajarte los programas?
- Sabes cómo hacerlo?
- Has consultado la información y ayuda sobre Creative Cloud?

Can the Post Results box for name and email be resized?

Depending on the size of the browser window the box that asks for name and email for posting quiz results can be very small. Is there any way to resize it? This is with Captivate 6 and Scalable HTML Content turned on.

Hi Judy,
These are run time messages and you can change it by the below steps:
If you want to modify specific labels that you can't modify through Captivate, you can do this with the file strings.txt, that is located in Adobe Captivate instalation folder >en_US
1. Open file
2. Modify whatever label you want
3. Save.
4. Rename to strings.zdct
5. Replace original strings.zdct file
6. Restart Captivate
I suggest you backup original strings.txt and strings.zdct files - just in case.

Mayank
