Quizzing Application v4

Quizzing app v4 is an open source, Python-based application centered around the task of creating and hosting quizzes/trivia, with a variety of features.

Changelog

Running the Application

# Run diagnostics and quit immediately
python qa_main.py start-app _RDQ --lapp

# Run Quizzing App | Admin Tools
python qa_main.py start-app admin_tools --lapp

# Run Quizzing App | Quizzing Form
python qa_main.py start-app quizzing_app --lapp

# Run Quizzing App Utilities (theme and diagnostics)
python qa_main.pt start-app util --lapp

The --lapp flag must be added to enable the app to boot. This is done to avoid a bug in the test and diagnostics system.

Enabling/Disabling Verbose Logging

In .conf\configuration.json:

{
  "settings": {
    "LOG_VERB": true
  }
}

or,

{
  "settings": {
    "LOG_VERB": false
  }
}

If the above is set to true, VL can temporarily be disabled by adding the flag --disable_VLE to the command.

python qa_main.py [COMMAND] --disable_VLE

NOTE: Window resize events cause update_ui to be called. If verbose logging is enabled, this can lead to the application lagging as the window is resized.

It is highly recommended to explicitly add this flag unless you're debugging the application.
