copying over quiz questions from 1.4 to 2.0

Can anyone help me copy over quiz questions from my 1.4 app to my new 2.0 app? I know there is a plugin json snippet or something but thats way above my pay grade... I just dont want to spend hours upon hours copy and pasting over 300 questions... I will pay.

There are a couple of things you can do. First: Stobes Json Snippet Keeper is a virtual swiss army knife of BuzzTouch plugins, and can easily do what you're asking. Second: You might think about taking your original config file, remove the Questions (child items) from the quiz, and making them into a standalone (text) file, placing it inside BT_Docs. Then in the quiz plugin, point to your filename as a local resource. A minute or two of cut/paste and jsonlint.com should make this fairly easy... I use an external file for my Quiz Q/A, so that I can change them from time to time, so an external file is my main mode. Make sure that when you're done cutting/pasting that the format follows along like this: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/115208762/prequalquiz.txt Cheers! -- Smug

You lost me at "there are a couple of things you can do" :) Is this something you might be able to do for me for payment?

I won't do it for payment, but if you're willing to commit to a small donation to the Salvation Army, I'll do it. Where's the file? Cheers! -- Smug

That would be great! So what exactly do I send you? I have the old app (which is live) and also the new app which is in the process of being built....

Send me the configuration file. Actually, don't send it. Put it in your drop box and throw me a link. Cheers! -- Smug (if it's some kind of Secret Squirrel thing you don't want people to see, message me the link)

@teamcaz: Would you mind if I used a few snippets of your config file to create a tutorial on this? Cheers! -- Smug
