I want to mark the unchecked questions in a quiz for an easy review by the participants. ie say, i have 15 questions with 1 question per page and users are navigating to next pages using the pagination links. can we add a special formatting to the page numbers, if that particular question is unanswered? which variable we can use for specifying the unanswered questions?

Hi
thks Peter for the hints. i have been desperately searching for a solution to mark unattempted questions in a quiz as it progress. I have multiple choice-single answer questions with one question per page, in my timed quiz. Its possible that particpants skip some difficult questions in the beginning and want to return to them after they see all the questions. It would be very helpful for the participants if the unattempted question number links are shown in, say, red color and others in green or so.
I'm not a programmer. i tried many ways to achieve this, but failed. i got some opening in the questiontypes/multichoice/questiontype.php file . there's a function print_question_formulation_and_controls(&$question, &$state, $quiz, $options) and i hope the parameter $state->responses[''] may be used to find unattempted question. if the value of this variable is empty that means the question is not marked with any answer. Now my problem is how can i use this value in the quiz_print_navigation_panel() function defined in quiz/locallib.php file. i want to do something like this:
if ($state->responses[''] =="") { //blank response
$fontcolor="red";
} else {
$fontcolor="green";
}
and use the value of $fontcolor variable in the hyperlink part of the question numbers.
can anyone please tell me how can i pass the value of $state->responses[''] variable (or the $fontcolor) from print_question_formulation_and_controls() function (defined in a class) to the quiz_print_navigation_panel() function (outside the class)? or am i really dumb? there must be some other easy workaround?
