I very much need to hear back from users of this testing system. email: lorlarz@gmail.com ONLY THESE BRIEF DIRECTIONS HAVE BEEN REWRITTEN IN RECENT YEARS: **NOTE** First you must make a txt file in the folder on your web server called theans[somenumber].txt, for example: theans55.txt . AND, make the value of the variable "thek" the value of YOUR ENCRYPTED ANWSERS (directions for encrypting and what phrase to use to do the encrypting are found in the other directions you are asked to read, below). NOTE: the quotes at the front and the back off the encrypted answers, in the theans[somenumber].txt file are added (and are necessary). Also: The [somenumber] is the number placed in the blank before the student clicks the button to score his test -- give this secret number to each student one-at-a-time, as they finish their test. Below may well be all you need to know except the address of the zip file itself. : http://mynichecomputing.org/NOnline_Test_Bldg_Kit7.zip These are Brief Directions AND yet they are VERY LIKELY alone sufficient for you to know how to use the TestBuilder and everything else. This document also contains additional directions, perhaps not found elsewhere in the zip . One thing you need to know is how the answers are to be put into the textarea on the right in the encryptor (cipher7.html). The format of test answers is to be like this :answer one:answer 2:answer 3 (i.e. each answer is simply preceeded by a colon and with no extra spaces before or after the answer. The answer must be exact.) (The actual answer string will more likely look like: :a:c:d:ad:word:couple words) Answers to things that can be a,b,c are to be such answers (as you can see by a quick look at how the code on the TestBuilder generated pages "works"). WHEN USING THE ANSWERS ENCRYPTOR ("cipher"): Do NOT do any returns in the textarea and let it appear to "wrap" as it will In the left testbox of the encryptor (cipher7.html) put the name of the quiz (like: Quiz Number One)(Remember this EXACT name, it is needed in the enc7NSQ1.js file.) Now you hit the encrypt button. The name of the quiz is pasted in the enc7NSQ1.js file 4 lines from the top. Resave a new copy of enc7NSQ1.js with these changes, giving it a new name (if desired). ---- After you use the TestBuilder7.html test generating program, put the properly named js file (as indicated on THAT Builder web page) in the head. (Of course you will use your named version of enc7NSQ1.js there.) Also Note: When automatically generating the test using TestBuilder7.html, the buttons that are paired must be used in pairs in the logical order. Also, you simply copy what appears in the textarea at the bottom into NotePad or SimpleText and Save it as whatever.html Your whatever.html (your test) must be in the same place (folder) as the enc7NSQ1.js file. Both must be saved with the proper extension: .html and .js, respectively and you must use a raw text type program, like SimpleText or NotePad for the processing and saving of these file. NO MS Word, etc (which are rich text).
