bilal143ma commented 1 year ago

we are using TCExam from a long time. In fact a best solution for online exams in open source community. Thanks for giving us this solution.

I am requesting to add a new feature as here in our country we have power breakups due to which an exam is interrupts. Secondly Internet connection sometimes got faulty during the exam.

Could you please add a feature so that when the above mentioned problems occurs then on restore the exam timer starts from the point where we left exam

Thanks.

Currently the administrator has the ability to extend the exam time. I am not sure how we can detect a genuine power cut as this can be simulated to gain more time.

Thanks for your response. i googled for the issue.

found a solution below https://stackoverflow.com/questions/189430/detect-if-the-internet-connection-is-offline

if we can store the time in timer and if someone offline the timer should stop . upon getting back online timer should start. but this time should be stored in database to calculate the actual online time for exam in reports generation. hopefully you got what i am trying to say.
