Hello there!
I recently stumbled across a nice little script made by Ahmed Farooq
of www.iBegin.com (http://www.iBegin.com)
He had the idea to make a small floating layer in which users can easily rate a website. I had a quick look at it and decided to port it to vB3.6b1 (and I'll update it as soon as a new version of vBulletin comes out ;))
Here is what it does:
It adds a floating button to the lower right side of your forums which stays there even when you scroll down or up - cool, eh? ;)
49305
When you hover over that button a new layer comes up where you can select a number from 5 to 1 which reflects what you think about the community.
49306
After submitting the layer AND the button removes itself, a cookie saves that you have already gave your feedback and that button will never come up again.
Finally, on you frontpage you have a little message telling your users about the rating:
49307
The design of the popup can easily be changed using the provided CSS file. You can also use your own image as a button. I didn't try it but it should be possible. :)
Installation:
This one uses the plugin system. It comes as a product which does most of the work for you. However, you still have to edit the templates manually as well as copying 3 files to different folders.
The database manipulation is all done by the product manager. It will even uninstall all changes for you if you don't want to have this Add-on anymore. :)
Live demo:
See the script working here: http://www.ibegin.com/feedback/feedback-test.html
It works exactly the same as this Add-on. :)
Important:
As said above, the original script is by Ahmed Farooq
of www.iBegin.com (http://www.iBegin.com) but I will try to support the Javascript part of this Add-On as good as I can.
BACKUP:
Don't trust the German guy :D - ALWAYS do a BACKUP BEFORE you install an Add-on!
ENJOY! :cool:
Version:

+ bugfix
+ uses phrases
1.0 first release
