<h3>QUESTIONTYPE</h3>
|
|
<b>For backward compatibility only, do not use anymore!</b>
|
|
|
|
<p>This table lists the different kind of questions.</p>
|
|
<p>Currently the following types are supported:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>single selection (1): exactly one of the answers is correct.</li>

|
|
<li>true / false (3): Single selection with "true" and "false" as possible answers.</li>

|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p><b>Note</b>: The definition of this table does not support adding of new user interface languages very well,
|
|
since every new language needs a new column in this table. The table should be retired soon and replaced with another one which supports
|
|
adding UI languages without modification of database structure!</p>
|
|
|
