Feature Request: Insert and Extract JSON directly to and from Questions #61

Closed mirgcire closed 9 years ago

mirgcire commented 9 years ago

This feature addresses two problems:

1) Reusing questions in different quizzes 2) Allowing content experts to create/review quiz questions outside of the WP back-end.

After reviewing the existing code, this feature seems reasonably straightforward after some minor refactoring of admin.js.

Here is how it could work: In the top right hand corner of each question box add a cute JSON icon. When the icon is clicked all the normal fields get hidden and, in their place, is just one text box containing the JSON representing the question. Above the text box are two new icons: [save] and [abandon]. The user can copy the JSON and place it in an external file or paste in revised JSON from another quiz.

Background: Writing quizzes takes a significant amount of time. For example, it takes me about 6 hours to write a 12 question quiz. A significant portion of that time is spent just navigating between frontend and backend during the process. I would have a significant time savings if I could review and share a JSON document. And the fact that I could pull questions from earlier quizzes for later review would be a bonus time saver.

Are you talkin' about the SlickQuiz WordPress plugin? I think that repository is here https://github.com/JewlOfTheLotus/SlickQuiz-WordPress

If you need 6 hours for 12 questions you probably are doing something wrong. It should take about 10 minutes, not 360.

navigating between frontend and backend

As far as I know there is no back end with SlickQuiz.
