Does anyone know how to add interactive Trivia?

Hi all.  Was wondering if there was a way to add interactive trivia to a lens?? Something like multiple choice for the user and then after selecting the answer showing the correct answer?  Anyone try that yet?

Sorry, I don't.  Maybe one of our techie wizards knows of something that can be used with the Clearspring module to create a widget.

Re: Does anyone know how to add interactive Trivia?

Yes - I'm going to add the full method to my Lens below later - seem to be having problems updating at the mo. But here's the method:

-Sign-up for an account on pagepow.com
-Click on 'view all widgets'
-Click on 'Quiz'
-Enter Quiz Info as appropriate.
-Click on 'Save & Get Widget'
-Copy code provided
-Add the 'code' in Step 6 of the 'Create a Widget with Clearspring' section. (See Lens below).

I can't seem to update the Lens at the moment so I can't give an example yet - as soon as I can update the Lens, I'll post a message here.

It's pretty basic - if you want something with a score etc, then this wouldn't work for you....

Hope this helps...

Re: Does anyone know how to add interactive Trivia?

Thank you very much for the info.  I will give it a try.  Sounds pretty simple.  When I get it on my 70's lens, I'll add a link to yours for helping me out.  Search all over and couldn't find a good site to do this.  Thank you again!!!!!

Cool - let me know how it works out - perhaps I can feature your Lens as an example of how it works.

Re: Does anyone know how to add interactive Trivia?

Hi SimeyC.  It was soooo easy.  You can check it out here if you like...

The 70's.

It's in the middle of the lens, but I plan on adding 1 or two more for the other topics within the next couple of days.

It works on IE by I'm having trouble installing the Adobe Flash player for Firefox.  So, I can't see it on firefox.  Don't have any other installed to test.

I did reference your lens with a link as a thank you for this.
Thanks again.

Nice Lens - I just added it to my 'cool widgets' Lens as an example of the Quiz.

My biggest concern with all of the clearspring Lenses I design is compatibility with Firefox - as long as you install Flash it seems to work - but it can be a pain installing flash, and not all users will want to do that.....

Glad to  know it wasn't just me having trouble with Flash. Any idea how to get it downloaded to work with firefox?   Could search the web, just haven't had a chance yet.  Without it, I can't use that browser to see any of my clearpring widgets.  Thanks for the feature of my lens on yours.

Re: Does anyone know how to add interactive Trivia?

Boy, do I feel stupid.....I though I download from there several times, but only saved to a list.  Just started using Vista and firefox, and not used to the way it works.  Didn't realize I had to select it from the list to download....

Thanks again for all your help.

Re: Does anyone know how to add interactive Trivia?

Don't worry - I'm a professional computer geek and it took me three attempts to download - I'm not a great lover of IE, but I find Firefox a real pain sometimes!!!
