What do I need to get JQuarks to 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

What's new in 0.3.0 ?

  • The community awaited : Show quiz results in front end
  • Manage Candidates and their affectation to quizzes
  • "Tags" Candidates using profiles
  • Options to assign / unassign all registered user to a given quiz
  • Support for Joomfish
  • Starting this version JQuarks also speak Italian, Spanish and Galician !

We would like to thank carlos lopez for Spanish and Galician version and Giovanni Maggini for Italian version.
Thanks also to all JQuarks' Translators !

I wish to upgrade to 0.3.0 and want to keep my data from 0.2.x 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.x 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 old version of JQuarks' component
  4. Install JQuarks' 0.3.0 component
  5. Enjoy our new feature and give us feedback to improve JQuarks ;) !

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

Yes you need to install JQuarks' 0.3.0 plugin and module, just remove the old plugin and module, and install 0.3.0's
