Can be linked to database?

[monroemann]

Hello @armandofox @tansaku @pattrsn @deliahu @bjnord,

I'm very curious if this can be linked to the database? We are trying to create a quiz game that allows members to get to know other members using member data from the database.

Thank you!

Hi @armandofox We want our members to get to know one another. Our PostGreSQL database has all the individual information about each member: name, native languages, current country, etc. We want to create a quiz game on top of our live site and current database that capitalizes on this data, by using it to populate the quiz answers.

In other words, we don't want to hard code our quiz answers. We want the quiz answers to be dynamically created.

P.S. - Thanks for responding!

i think you're misunderstanding what this gem does. it providces a domain-specific language for authoring quizzes. it does not provide any facilites for "administering" the quiz in a SaaS app. we built an app called Course Question Bank that has such a RuQL "player" embedded in it, which is open source at saasbook/coursequestionbank, but it may be overkill for your needs. (and it's provided as-is, so we cannot offer any support to help you get it running, since we just built it to use internally.)
