The shortcode works as follows:

1- This shortcode will only work/show for logged-in users. The [ld_quiz_docx_export] shortcode (without attributes) will only work on the quiz page as it will automatically fetch the respective quiz’s ID.

2- To make the shortcode work on any other page, the shortcode [ld_quiz_docx_export] has 4 attributes, of which the “quiz_id” attribute is a required/mandatory attribute to be included for the shortcode’s functionality to work like [ld_quiz_docx_export quiz_id=”123″].

3- To allow multiple users of different user roles to access the shortcode functionality on the frontend, add multiple user roles in the “role” attribute separated by a comma, like [ld_quiz_docx_export quiz_id=”123″ role=”editor,subscriber”]. This attribute is optional to use in the shortcode.

4- To get the value to enter for the “role” attribute, navigate to the “Users” menu and open any profile to the “Role” field and inspect the dropdown to get the user role value to enter in the shortcode. 

5- You can use the “button_text” attribute to change the button text on the frontend pages, like [ld_quiz_docx_export quiz_id=”123″ role=”author” button_text=”Export Quiz in DOCX template”]. This attribute is optional to use in the shortcode.

This attribute is optional to use in the shortcode. You can add your custom CSS on the site using your theme Customizer like:

.ld-qie-docx-export-button{ background-color:red; }

Blocks

You can place the “LearnDash Quiz DOCX Export” block on any page you want to allow the selected user roles to download the respective quiz in a .docx template from the frontend pages. It will work just like the “[ld_quiz_docx_export]” shortcode on the frontend.

12- Can I Import Thousands Of questions in one go? Why does the quiz’s import progress bar get stuck for an infinite time?

Our addon is capable of importing multiple questions in one go, but it’s advisable to break down the process into smaller batches for those with limited server resources. This approach can help prevent performance issues and ensure a smoother import process. Sometimes the import progress bar gets stuck when you try to import a large number of quizzes or questions at once. To resolve this issue, please check with your hosting providers and ask them to make these server configuration changes:

upload_max_filesize = 32M
post_max_size = 48M
memory_limit = 256M
max_execution_time = 600

15- What is the proper way to add an iframe in the sheet?

In the “Quiz Content” column, IFrame should be enclosed in a < P > tag, i.e., < P > < Iframe > < /P >, while in the “Question Text” column, IFrame should be enclosed in the [ Embed ] tag, i.e,. [ Embed ] url [ /Embed ].

16- Is there any limitation while importing quiz settings?

If the quiz settings are based on the quiz template selected in the general settings then it is not advisable to use individual options in the quiz settings simultaneously, as it may lead to conflicts.

17- What should be done if the import process for multiple quizzes is not progressing and it appears to be stuck?

If you face difficulties importing multiple quizzes and notice the process getting stuck, it could be related to the Object Cache. To address this, temporarily disable the Object Cache before initiating the import. You can safely re-enable it once the quizzes have been successfully imported.

Our addon supports import and export with Elementor for the generic blocks. For importing, please make sure that the Quizzes checkbox is enabled within the Elementor > Settings > General > Post Types.
