quiz-master-next/quiz-master-next/php/classes/class-qmn-quiz-manager.phpQuiz Master Next [qsm_result] Shortcode
The Quiz Master Next shortcode, ‘qsm_result’, is designed to display quiz results. It uses a shortcode function, ‘shortcode_display_result’, which retrieves the quiz results based on the result id. This shortcode function first checks if the result id is valid. If not, it fetches the id from the URL. If the id is valid and numeric, it retrieves the corresponding quiz results from the database. It then enqueues necessary styles and scripts, and prepares the response data, which includes details like quiz id, quiz name, user details, and quiz results. The function finally returns the quiz results in a formatted manner. If the result id is invalid, it displays an error message.
Shortcode: [qsm_result]
Parameters
Here is a list of all possible qsm_result shortcode parameters and attributes:
id– Unique identifier for the quiz result to display
Examples and Usage
Basic example – Displays the quiz result by referencing the result ID.
[qsm_result id=1 /]Advanced examples
Using the shortcode to display a quiz result by referencing the result ID through a URL parameter. This allows for dynamic loading of quiz results based on the result ID present in the URL.
Add the result id in the URL like this: www.yourwebsite.com/your-page/?result_id=1Then use the shortcode without any id attribute in the page where you want to display the result. The shortcode will automatically fetch the result id from the URL.
[qsm_result /]Please note that this advanced usage requires your PHP code to have the functionality to retrieve the ‘result_id’ from the URL, as shown in the related shortcode PHP code above.

quiz-master-next/quiz-master-next/php/classes/class-qmn-quiz-manager.phpQuiz Master Next [qsm_link] Shortcode
The Quiz Master Next shortcode ‘qsm_link’ generates a link to a specific quiz. It takes three parameters: ‘id’, ‘class’, and ‘target’.

This shortcode can be used to seamlessly integrate quizzes into posts or pages.
Shortcode: [qsm_link]
Parameters
Here is a list of all possible qsm_link shortcode parameters and attributes:
id– Unique identifier of the quizclass– CSS class to style the quiz linktarget– Controls where the quiz link opens

quiz-master-next/quiz-master-next/php/shortcodes.phpQuiz Master Next [qsm_recent_quizzes] Shortcode
The Quiz Master Next plugin shortcode is designed to display recent quizzes on your WordPress site. It fetches quizzes from the database and displays them in descending order. The shortcode also allows customization of the number of quizzes to display and whether to include quizzes scheduled for the future. The output is a div structure with each quiz title and a link to take the quiz. If no quiz is found, it displays ‘No quiz found’.
Shortcode: [qsm_recent_quizzes]
Parameters
Here is a list of all possible qsm_recent_quizzes shortcode parameters and attributes:
no_of_quizzes– Determines the number of quizzes to display.include_future_quizzes– Controls whether to include quizzes scheduled for future.
Examples and Usage
Basic example – This shortcode displays the most recent quizzes up to a maximum of 10 by default.
[qsm_recent_quizzes /]Advanced examples
Displaying the most recent 5 quizzes. If the number of quizzes is not specified, it will default to showing the 10 most recent quizzes.
[qsm_recent_quizzes no_of_quizzes=5 /]Displaying the most recent quizzes excluding future quizzes. By default, future quizzes are included. However, you can exclude them by setting the ‘include_future_quizzes’ attribute to ‘no’.
[qsm_recent_quizzes include_future_quizzes=no /]Displaying the most recent 5 quizzes excluding future quizzes. This example combines the two previous examples to display the most recent 5 quizzes that are not scheduled for the future.
