@efb4f5ff-1298-471a-8973-3d47447115dc I can work this - are users supposed to be able to interact with content like quizzes and polls? I can't seem to vote on polls, did recreate with the quiz though.

[efb4f5ff-1298-471a-8973-3d47447115dc]

hi @lamemake in this example the quiz isnt visible for some reason and to fix this we need to make the post visible again. No need to make interactions with posts or polls.

If u want to look into more interaction style issues regarding to community posts u can maybe look into #3253

[lamemakes]

Yeah I gotcha, I was working on this yesterday and think I've got a solution to both.

In terms of interaction I mean should users be able to select an option for a quiz or see what the correct option is? Like as opposed to just having a few blank boxes that don't reveal anything.

Cheers!

Umm im not behind my machine so i dont really know but users should see the same on FT as is shown on YT when u are a not logged in user

I don't think that not logged in users can interact with posts

Hope this helps, let me know if u need more info :)

[lamemakes]

Okay great - I think polls work that way but I was able to do a quiz and get the correct answer without logging in, even though afterwards it tried to direct me to a login:

The correct answer is also contained in the response in from indivious (I didn't check the local API though) so in that regard there wouldn't be any additional requests needed for this implementation.

If you though this was feasible we could either let the user take the quiz and show them when they're correct/incorrect or just highlight the correct answer right out of the gate.

Thanks for the thoughts here!

if we want to allow interaction it should just be local, not sending the response to youtube

So the question is, does youtube give us the answer without having to interact?

if yes: we could implement local interaction just make them buttons and show the right answer afterwards (just because youtube pings their server when you answer doesn't mean we have to)

if no: we show it the same as polls

[lamemakes]

So the question is, does youtube give us the answer without having to interact?

Yeah I believe this is the case, as mentioned previously the individous API gives the answers in the quiz object so as long as something similar happens locally we should be fine. I'll put up a PR later today with the changes & a demo!
