I am having problems getting my quiz portal to show on my index page. I have gone and made a quiz portal and added some test questions, it still isn't showing up. I have tried to search topics but they haven't helped.

not at all clear on what you have done.

Ok, I have set the portal settings. Have put in just test fields for a few answers. After that, I don't know what to do to add it to the index page. The quiz has been added to the template, because it says old_cms_quiz or something like that, but it is not showing up on the main index. I added it to the index template - the html code from the portal -  and I see that it has done something but I can't figure out what to do to get the quiz to be added as a portal.

You still are not telling me much.

Try telling me what template files you have edited, and showing me the code in [code][/code] tags.

I am using myfutemplate1 based off of ca_aphropdite_lblue.

I have edited the portal :

Name - Quiz
Quiz Id - Quiz1
Published - yes
title - yes
count - 10
answer page - /index.php?component=QUIZ

save score - yes

test questions just saying test

added point scores, allowed retries and score save.

then went into edit template / logos.

Code:

[/b] [/i] <!-- IF QUIZ_MESSAGE <>"" --> <h1>{QUIZ_MESSAGE}</h1> <!-- ENDIF --> <form action="{QUIZ_S_ACTION}" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="mode" value="questions"></input> <table width="100%" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0" class="forumline" align="center"> <!--BEGIN switch_quiz_title -->    <tr>         <th colspan="1" width="100%" height="25" class="thTop" nowrap="nowrap"> {QUIZ_TITLE}</th>      </tr> <!--END switch_quiz_title -->      <!-- IF QUIZ_S_QUESTIONS == 1 --> <!-- IF (QUIZ_ALLOWRETRIES == 2 && QUIZ_PLAYED == 1) --> <tr>         <td> You may play this quiz again, but your old score of {QUIZ_OLDSCORE} out of {QUIZ_MAXSCORE} will not be replaced. </td> </tr> <!-- ENDIF --> <!-- IF QUIZ_PASSED !="" --> <tr>         <td>You passed on the following questions which must be answered {QUIZ_PASSED}</td>  </tr> <tr> <!-- ENDIF --> <tr>         <td> {QUIZ_INTRODUCTION}</td>  </tr> <tr> <td> <!-- IF (QUIZ_ALLOWRETRIES == 0 && QUIZ_PLAYED == 1) --> You can only play this quiz once.

[i][b]Copied this into index.tpl at the bottom.

I have done that so far, and the portal did not show up.
I know I am doing something wrong, but don't know what. I am thinking it has to do with the second part.

I think I know what I did wrong. I will try that and if I can't figure it out, I will ask again. Thanks for trying to help.

I fixed it. Thanks, the how to do it forum and here has really helped, thanks a lot.

As far as I can see you have simply not included the {MYFF.QUIZ} portal in index_body.tpl, but simply copied stuff from the cms_quiz.tpl file into index_body.tpl.

Without {MYFF.QUIZ} being included (which will drag in the template code) the portal will not be there.

ps) I asked you to use code tags, and you messed up the thread by not doing so

[rc_girl]

Sorry. I am still learning. I will try to get it right next time.

Thanks. I figured that one out.

Sorry.
