Hello!
Will there be an update for the AriQuiz component to work with the new Joomla 6?

The current version of Ari Quiz v. 3.10.21 returns the error "Database not set in Joomla\CMS\Installer\Installer" after a clean installation.

After upgrading from Joomla 5 to Joomla 6:
Joomla\Registry\Format\Json::stringToObject(): Argument #1 ($data) must be of type string, null given, called in /public_html/libraries/vendor/joomla/registry/src/Registry.php on line 335

Thanks/

Hello,

Need to investigate efforts which require to add Joomla! 6 support, but it is highly likely that such update will not be available in the next few months.

Regards,
ARI Soft

Hello!
It's been almost eight months since I contacted you. Is there any chance I'll get a new version adapted for Joomla 6+ and PHP 8.4+ and based on a modern architecture?
ComponentNet is currently outdated, the code is unoptimized, and the frontend is based on a very old Bootstrap framework.
Perhaps there's a test version I can try?

Your component is still the best solution for running tests and quizzes; I've learned that over 10 years of work.

Don't abandon your loyal users; we're waiting for a release for 6+...

Hello!
It's a shame the developers are keeping quiet about the component's development prospects.
My nearly 10-year project based on AriQuiz has convinced me that it's the best solution for similar tasks. Everything else on the Joomla market is either very basic or extremely inconvenient.
The recently released version 8 of Community Quiz has only proven this. I spent a month trying to use it for my own tasks, and I helped the developer create a data migrator from AriQuiz. The verdict: it's incomparable to AriQuiz and has only one advantage: full support for Joomla 6+.
I decided to rewrite some of the code to support PHP 8.4 and Joomla 6 without changing the architecture. It works, but poorly and slowly. Plus, I wasted a huge amount of time. The router was a particular problem. Basically, this is a dead end.
I'd be happy to rewrite the component, but I lack the expertise. AI assistants won't help here...

Basically, I'd like to see AriQuiz in a new guise:
1. New Joomla 4+ architecture with namespaces.
2. No proprietary legacy kernel. Everything should be taken from the system core.
3. Support for tags in quizzes and categories.
4. Multi-categories (a quiz can be in multiple categories at once).
5. Parent categories for databases.
6. And much, much more...

Since the project has been abandoned by its developers, perhaps someone will fork it?
