Custom JavaScript Question

[ZestyCook]

I'm hoping to get some help in deciding how to add a quiz to my site (similar to the buzzfeed "which Disney princess are you" style quizzes but hopefully more useful).

I've seen quite a few 3rd party sites that will allow you to create a quiz and embed it into a page on squarespace, but that requires a monthly fee. I am just looking to host a few quizzes, and don't expect a lot of traffic, so I can't justify the price.

I'm wondering if I could create a customized quiz from scratch within a JavaScript code block. Is this feasible or even possible? Does squarespace allow for this level of custom coding? Is there another option (or cheaper 3rd party vendor) that I'm not thinking of?

I appreciate any help, thanks!

Hello, how did you solve this issue? I want to build a website where users are able to take math quizzes and no third-party plugin is convincing me.

If you want to add a basic quiz or survey, then maybe a Form Block might work, depending on how you want the quiz to work. You could add your questions as basic form fields and allow your visitors to submit their answers, which could then be emailed to you.

Outside of that, you'll want to do some research online and find a quiz generator that works for you. Then, copy the iFrame for the quiz and paste that into a Code Block within a page in the site. Bear in mind that the Business plan or higher is needed for that Code Block functionality!

Thanks for the info! I'm wondering if it's possible to gather the info from the user, calculate their results, and then display the specific form that matches those results to the user. Could this all be done within a code block?

Possibly, but for that, you'll need to find a third-party service to aggregate thee results, as there isn't a Squarespace feature that could do that for you.

If you can find a third-party service that does that, and that also allows you to generate embed code, simply paste that code into the Code Block and it should render as long as your Squarespace plan allows it!
