JQuakrs version 0.2.3¶

What do I need to get JQuarks work properly ?¶

JQuarks uses for it's question creation the TinyMCE editor, minimum version required is v3.2.4.1 which is available out of the box on Joomla's version 1.5.12 and above.

We recommend using at least Joomla v1.5.12 if you have an older version you can find instruction on upgrading here

Why 0.2.3 ?¶

Many users have experienced bug #16 which prevents administrator from assigning sets of questions to quizzes.

JQuarks do not permit empty sets to be assigned to quizzes, this bug has for effect to block the assignation of a set of question even if it does contain questions.

This release is meant to fix this issue.

Shall I upgrade to it ?¶

Some versions of mysql seem to overlook the problem, so if you do not have this issue you can stick with 0.2.2
Obviously if you are trying JQuarks for the first time it's better to use 0.2.3

I wish to upgrade to 0.2.3 and want to keep my data from 0.2.2 How can I do it ?¶

That's easy, just follow this step-by-step guide:

NB. Although this procedure should be safe, we strongly recommend backing up your database before proceeding

1. Before uninstalling JQuarks's 0.2.2 component, locate the file uninstall.sql under {SITE_ROOT}/administrator/components/com_jquarks/uninstall.sql
2. Open it, discard its content and save the changes
3. Uninstall JQuarks's 0.2.2 component
4. Install JQuarks's 0.2.3 component

I upgraded JQuarks's component, do i need to upgrade it's plugins and module too ?¶

On this version only JQuark's component has been modified, so you do not need to install JQuarks's modules and plugin if you already have them
