Modules

Community Quiz ships three site modules you can place in any template position to surface quizzes, rankings, and a learner's own progress around your site. They are ordinary Joomla modules: add them under Content → Site Modules, choose a position, and assign them to the pages you want.

Audience: Site administrators. No technical knowledge needed.

← Back to Overview

Note: the rebuilt Community Quiz front-end is a single-page app, so the old "virtual module positions" that injected modules inside the quiz layout no longer exist. Use these proper Joomla modules in your template's positions instead.

Shows a list of quizzes to draw people in, for a homepage, a sidebar, or a landing page.

SettingWhat it does
ModeWhether to show featured, popular, or recent quizzes.
CategoryLimit the list to one category (or show all).
CountHow many quizzes to show.

Use it on your homepage to highlight your best assessments, or in a category page sidebar to suggest related quizzes.

Leaderboard​

Shows the top performers, which adds friendly competition and encourages retakes.

SettingWhat it does
PeriodRank by the last week, the last month, or all time.
Minimum participantsHide the leaderboard until enough people have taken part, so it never looks empty.
CountHow many top performers to list.

Tip: how names appear (full name, first initial, username, or anonymous) is controlled centrally in Settings → Leaderboards, so the module respects your privacy choice.

My Learning​

A personal dashboard widget for the logged-in learner. It shows their in-progress and recent attempts and the courses they are enrolled in, with a quick way back in.

  • Signed-in learners see their own activity and can resume where they left off.
  • Guests see nothing (there is no personal activity to show), so it is safe to place on shared pages.

Place it in a member area, a dashboard page, or a sidebar that logged-in users see.

Placing a module​

  1. Go to Content → Site Modules and click New.
  2. Pick one of the three Community Quiz modules.
  3. Choose a position in your template and set the status to published.
  4. Configure the module's options (above).
  5. Set Menu Assignment to control which pages it appears on.
  6. Save.

Tip: keep modules responsive-friendly. A leaderboard or featured list works well in a sidebar or a full-width row; very long lists can crowd a narrow column on mobile.
