Actions
There are two types of trivia - we call them Points and Correct Answers. Points trivia has one or more questions with different answers and you define number of points for each answer. The second trivia (Correct Answers) is like a quiz - you define question(s) with answers and set one answer as correct.
Add new trivia
Choose + Add new "Points" trivia or + Add new "Correct answers" trivia on the left hand side of the screen and creation form will open on the right. On this form you should enter a title for the trivia that is about to be created in the Trivia title field.
In the space below you may insert some text that will display on the trivia's result page. This is what your visitors will see when they submit answers, so you'll most probably enter results of a test/quiz or correct answers. You may use WYSIWYG editor for formatting content.
The bottom of the form is where you'll define, delete and edit questions and answers. You may add unlimited number of questions and answers for each trivia.
Add new question/answer
Click on + Add new question link and a field for adding question will appear. Type in the question in this field and choose + Add new answer link for each answer that should correspond to this question. Besides adding answers you should add number of points for each question.
Or in case you are creating Correct Answers trivia you'll check radio button next to correct answer.
Plug-in will automatically sum up points and display the score on the result page.
Click the button Save when ready.
Edit and manage trivia
On the List of trivias tab you'll see all existing trivia/quiz just below links for adding new trivia.
To change a trivia you need to choose edit icon next to its name. This brings you to the same form used to create the trivia, with all of its values saved. You have the ability to change existing questions and answers, name or results you entered before.
Once you have created a trivia, you may activate it in order for other people to be able to submit their answers. This is done by clicking activate button 
on edit trivia page. Trivia will not be displayed anywhere on your site while being inactive.
If the trivia is active, you'll notice its generated code just above the trivia title. We'll explain what's the purpose of this code and how to use it later in this manual.
Choosing deactivate icon 
will deactivate the trivia, making it unavailable to visitors. The trivia will not be removed from the system and you'll be able to edit, delete or activate it anytime later.
Use generated code in templates
This version of Quiz/Trivia plug-in introduces option to have multiple trivias activated and working at the same time on your website on different pages or even at the same page. Each Trivia has its own generated code. By default only one active trivia is being displayed on the front end. But if you activated more than one trivia you need to use their generated code to have them display on desired places and sections. You may insert infinite number of trivias to show in different pages and areas of your pages. All you have to do is paste generated code in your template file on desired place.
Commonly used templates we recommend for trivia placement are: homepage/default.tpl (show a trivia on the homepage), article/default.tpl (show on the article pages), category/default.tpl (show on category pages).
