  I have added two new modules to the extdb.
  
  The Book module (http://community.zik…-componentid-84.htm) is a module for displaying large structured documents. It has some interesting features, such as a pop-up glossary, and text highlighting.
  
  The quickcheck module (http://community.zik…componentid-308.htm) is for attaching quizzes to other content modules. I use it in conjunction with the book module to create short quizzes that readers can take to test their comprehension of material presented in the book module.
  
  An example of the use of both these modules can be found at http://www.microbiologytext.com. Enjoy!

  Very nice, congratulations. The book module looks very interesting/promising.

  I agree. I'm going to have to mess with the book module.

  Paustian, I've seen the Book module before. Was it yours or did you update it?

  This has been my module all along. I have worked on it and used it steadily for years. It was in the old post nuke code site and I have finally made it available here. Thanks craig for approving those modules.

  Looking forward, will these two modules be compatible with Zikula 1.3?

  They work in 1.2.4 I have not tested then in 1.3. It will probably be a while before I have a chance to try them out in 1.3.

  well, I just did a quick check and the short answer is no - they are not 1.3 compatible. Book seems to still be define-based for language translation (at least it has constants) and some other issues as well. Quickcheck has some pretty serious fatal errors.
  
  Paustian, I learned the most about coding modules after I turned the error reporting up as high as it would go and kept checking all my PHP and zikula logs as I worked. It helps a lot to make sure everything is compatible going forward. Let me know if I can answer any questions or anything for ya.

  craigh,
  Thanks for looking at them. Quickcheck is pretty green. Book is more polished. I have been pretty lazy in cleaning things out and I should really do that. But, they work for me. I will keep working on them as time permits.

  So, I took a look at the module, with error reporting cranked up, no errors. Care to explain how to do this and what fatal errors you were seeing? Thanks.

  did you look at it in Zikula 1.3? You configured your config to log errors? (doesn't go to screen anymore in 1.3) Try turning on the debug_toolbar? Then check your ztemp/error_logs/ and your PHP error logs.
  
  I already uninstalled the modules so can't quote you any errors ATM, but when I get some time I might be able to do so.

  Ohhhh. Got it. You were looking at 1.3. I have not played with those yet. I did upgrade the Book module to use the new language system. So much goodness there. It makes writing the templates and code for language so much less cumbersome. I will play with 1.3 soon and see what happens.
