vB Survey: Add a full-featured survey tool to your forum

[Spikeman]

What this hack does:

This hack will add a full featured survey application system to your forum. You can survey your members opinions on various topics, or allow usergroups to create their own surveys.

Credits: John W. Holmes: Author of UCCASS Survey.
tamarian: Who originally made this a vB hack for vB 3.5 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=83038)

Application Features: See the UCCASS site for full details.

http://www.bigredspark.com/survey.html

The UCCASS offers some advanced features such as branching conditionals (allows hiding/displaying questions based on specific answers), result filtrations and much more.

Integration features:
Replaced authentication with VB's user database
Set permissions per usergroup, for admin/edit/create/take and view results priviliges.
Replaced config files with vB admin settings
Applied vB style to the UCCASS templates (it uses Smarty)

vB Survey added features: (some will be ported back to UCCASS)
Added anonymity option. If a survey is not anonymous, members can see how other members answered.
Added Hide/unhide survey option. This is useful to send surveys to specific users or usergroups.
Added Date answer types (D), with dropdown lists for day, month, year to ensure correct date entry.
Added REGEX control for new answer types, to control the answer format.
Added size control for single like text answers and REGEX answers.

Liscense: The original UCCASS Survey application is released under a modified GPL Liscense (Aferro GPL) : http://www.bigredspark.com/survey/license.txt (or look under the /docs directory in the zip file)

Installation difficulty:
2 mins, all done via product file.

Installation:

* Unpack the included file
* Copy survey.php to your main forum directory
* Copy the survey directory into your forum directory (cannot change the directory name)
* Install the Product-Survey.xml
* The product file will also install all data for the 2 default surveys to get you started.
* Go to AdminCP => vBulletin Options => Survey System Options - and set the options for access and other settings
* If you get permission errors, change file permissions for the survey directory and its contents to 744, and the owner/group to apache:apache (or, some servers are setup to nobody:nobody):

cd /path/to/main/forum

chown -R apache:apache survey

chmod -R 744 survey

Notes:

The "do not remove" comment on the copyright link in the footer is from the original UCCASS footer template. You may contact the original author, John W. Holmes, for permission to remove the copyright notice, he's willing to talk according to their support forum.

Please click Install if you have installed this mod.

I personally do not claim credit for this hack, however this is what I have done to port over to 3.6.3 :-

1. All tables, templates, phrases etc are installed via product file.
2. Support for wol has been added.
3. Some bugs fixed with the UCCASS system

This hack is for 3.6.3 not 3.5, the 3.5 version can be seen and downloaded here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=83038) this will not upgrade the 3.5 version.

I did obtain the permission from tamarian (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=188) to port this to 3.6.

This is my first big hack here so I would grateful if you did click Install (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/vborg_miscactions.php?do=installhack&threadid=131650) if you use it. Remember you only get notified of updates if you Install

Demo Here :- http://www.internetwatchers.co.uk/forums/survey.php please note the Demo may have restrictions as it is a live board. You may or may not be able to test the survey as a guest, this will not affect your sites as generally why would you want guests taking a survey on your site, you would never get a true survey result, I have only enabled this on my board so as to get the ball rolling and you guys can see it. you should all be able to see results page though.

If you have the older 3.5 Hack installed you MUST uninstall that before installing 3.6.3

Reserved for Additional Content

Changes to be completed:
1. Integrated FAQ's
2. Full vBsurvey Documentation
3. Updated UCCASS Documentation

Possible addons I am considering:
1. Ability to post final survey results directly to forum thread
2. Make some ready made surveys that you can import straight in and use

Why is this in beta? I believe that everything should be ok with vBsurvey, I have tested it extensivly on my own site and test site without error, I am just airing on the side of caution. Lets see what the comments bring :)

[Floris]

This is really cool! i've bookmarked this and will read up on this later and see if I can install it on one of my sites :)

[COBRAws]

Thanks for the portation!

[Spikeman]

Thanks for the portation!

My pleasure ;)

[dutchbb]

Great! One of the best hacks ever imo, i can finally use it :)

[Spikeman]

Great! One of the best hacks ever imo, i can finally use it :) I would agree with you, that is why I just had to get it ported. Do not forget to click install :)

Is it working for 3.6.0 ? Or do I have to upgrade forum to latest version?

It should work although, i could not test as I only have 3.6.3 goto into your database and drop all tables vbsurvey_ and try the install again ( it looks from your IP listed in the error that you are on a localhost so I am presuming that you can do that easy enough :) did you have the older 3.5 version installed previous to this?

[janpetterdale]

Thanks for fast response :)

I did have tables called survey_ and vbsurvey_ already in the database from
old addons. I probably tried the 3.5 version earlier.

Those tables are deleted now, but it still gives me the exact same error :(

[Delw]

Spikeman Thank your very much for this, I was holding off upgrading until this mod was avail for 3.6.3, but couldnt wait any longer. got an email this am saying it was ready so now I can install it. ;)
I will install it later today and try it out

Again thanks alot.

Ok the easiest way to do this is to load the old script and uninstall it, otherwise you will need to go into other vb tables and I do not think you want to do that at this stage. If the uninstall does fail try to install the older version and then uninstall again. Then install vB3.6.3 version. Hope that makes sense.

I ran the vbsurvey_install.php script from 3.5 version, uninstalled it.
That worked, now 3.6 version is installed.

Thanks a lot :)

Fantastic ;) please hit that install button.

[TTG]

uh oh .. 13th click of the installed button ... is that gonna be good for me.

[Spikeman]

uh oh .. 13th click of the installed button ... is that gonna be good for me. lol, well I almost finished coding this on the 13th but i did not do the final touches until 14th! Superstitious! nah not me :)

[Delw]

Spikeman,
so far it works perfectly on my test board. I had a few permission problems but just for testing I changed them to 777.
took less than 10 mins to install with figureing out the permission problems.

I dont understand permissions that well so if someone can help me out on them I would appreciate it.
it wouldnt work for me under 744 but it could be cause I didnt have all my files at 744? Will try it later.

Didnt take long to install either.

one suggestion for us non coders and somewhat dence at time people ( like me ;) )
you might want to put in your instructions that the survery folder needs to go into the forum dir and not below it

Unpack the included file
Copy survey.php to your main forum directory
Copy the survey directory below your forum directory (cannot change the directory name)


Again nice job
Delw

[Spikeman]

Spikeman,
one suggestion for us non coders and somewhat dence at time people ( like me ;) )
you might want to put in your instructions that the survery folder needs to go into the forum dir and not below it Changed that now ;) you will need to add userid to your permissions to allow users to take surveys and view results, default is 5,6 which is Admins and supermods, adding 2 will allow registered users, I shall change that in next update.

[Delw]

Thanks,
Forum permissions I dont have a problem too much with ,its server permissions lol

I get

Table 'dbname.vbsurvey_surveys' doesn't exist

when I try to call survey.php

In my db only survey_ tables exist, not vbsurvey.
I don't use prefixes for tables

Don't know why, but I get this message in the example surveys:


Warning: chmod(): Operation not permitted in /survey/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1454

Another thing I noticed:
When you delete a survey this message comes:

e.g. Survey #5 does not exist.

You may should create a text that tells the admin that the survey has been deleted.

[dutchbb]

Hm so since there are no phrases , where can we translate most of the system please?

[Spikeman]

Hm so since there are no phrases , where can we translate most of the system please? The admin phrases are easy enough todo, the UCCASS system uses smarty templates which can be edited to suit your language.

[dutchbb]

Can't find the right files though :o

edit: Nevermind I found it

Hi

I need to know where to define the background for the survey itself and the results page.

My forum uses a background image but on long surveys this breaks the design, so I need to replace it with a color.

Also it seems that guests can't take the survey, even though I have set permissions to allow usergroup 1 (not registered) to take surveys.

Any ideas?

[Spikeman]

Hi
I need to know where to define the background for the survey itself and the results page.
My forum uses a background image but on long surveys this breaks the design, so I need to replace it with a color. Can i ask where you normally define the image? vBsurvey uses smarty templates that are located at survey/templates/Default there is also the vbsurvey template within the style manager if you have added your background as a custom style. However your default color that is defined within vB should be displayed?


Also it seems that guests can't take the survey, even though I have set permissions to allow usergroup 1 (not registered) to take surveys.
If you take a look in survey.php
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']==0) { // override permissions for guests, since userid zero is messy
// They can only see the results, if allowed in the admincp settings
$vbulletin->userinfo['can_admin_surveys'] = 0;
$vbulletin->userinfo['can_take_surveys'] = 0;
$vbulletin->userinfo['can_create_surveys'] = 0;
$vbulletin->userinfo['can_edit_surveys'] = 0;

change to
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']==1) { // override permissions for guests, since userid zero is messy
// They can only see the results, if allowed in the admincp settings
$vbulletin->userinfo['can_admin_surveys'] = 0;
$vbulletin->userinfo['can_take_surveys'] = 1;
$vbulletin->userinfo['can_create_surveys'] = 0;
$vbulletin->userinfo['can_edit_surveys'] = 0;
That should work

[StarBuG]

Hi

If I change that, I can't admin nor take the survey anymore.

It uses the css definitions for the background of the survey, but that is the problem.
I need to define the color by hand in this place because the background image from css breaks if the survey is to long.

Any idea where the background is defined?

Great hack by the way.
Thank you for getingit to run on 3.6 ;)

StarBuG

[Spikeman]

Hi
If I change that, I can't admin nor take the survey anymore.
I had to play with those setting to get guests set up to test the survey, although it is not foolproof as some guests still get refused. The problem with letting guests take a survey is they could keep taking the same survey and you would not get accurate results.


It uses the css definitions for the background of the survey, but that is the problem.
I need to define the color by hand in this place because the background image from css breaks if the survey is to long.
Any idea where the background is defined?Ok, I understand now, leave it with me and let me see if i can find a solution.

[Spikeman]

Hi

I belive the best approach would be to add an additional css definition, then do a search in your smarty template files for "panel" and replace with new, example:- "surveypanel" with you new color declared in "surveypanel" to test I would edit display_answers.tpl first.

[drdeathuk69]

i have an admincp folder with nothing in it is that right?

Thank you very much. I have waited for this for long time.

Love you!

[Spikeman]

i have an admincp folder with nothing in it is that right?I deliberatly left it in there so users would see the structure showing that folders needed to go into forum folder ;) well that was the logic.

Dont forget to click install :)

Hi SpikeMan, after remove all previous version, I install this hack, no error occured, but when I click on Edit Survey, Create new survey, view result or Click on the link of existed survey, only that page refresh, no other page :(

Can you help me ? Thanks a lot

1. Install previous version with install script
2. Uninstall previous version with install script
3. Delete Survey Folder and survey.php from server
4. Follow instructions for this version.

If it does not work after you have completed all above, pm me url and admin details and I will take a look for you.

If you did uninstall previous version with script pm details.

[StarBuG]

What about using cookies for guests?
After a guest took the survey, place a cookie to stop him from doing the survey again?

I know this is easy to circumvent but better then guests not beeing able to take the survey

Would be great

StarBuG

[Datenpapst]

yes, the surveys are deleted.

[Datenpapst]

I have seen this before and will look into it, although you receive this message is the survey still deleted?

yes, the surveys are deleted.


Have you tried to change the server permissions on the directory?

I gave the directory a 777 chmod permission.

[Spikeman]

I know this may seem a little strange to you guys, but anyway, i have had 2 emails stating that there are 2 new posts here however, i cannot see them!! I have emailed vb.org and informed them of this, hopefully I will get an answer soon, and can reply to the posts.

[EasyTarget]

I've been meaning to give this a try for a long time.. time to do it.

/me clicks install

[blogtorank]

How did you remove previous version? Did you uninstall using the original script? If not try this

1. Install previous version with install script
2. Uninstall previous version with install script
3. Delete Survey Folder and survey.php from server
4. Follow instructions for this version.

How can you install it if the install.php file is not correct for vb 3.6.3? :cool:

Columns don't match and etc... So there is no way around it I suppose but to modify the install file to make this new version you have here to work on a 3.6.3 version... I have tried everything and nothing is happening....

I wouldn't suggest sending no more people to the other thread unless this portion is fixed. Because the refresh issue is what I'm facing and I found your thread saying to install the OLD version of this survey script, well the area of this issue is below...

Just some old code that needs to be fixed in the vbsurvey_install.php file:

$db->query_write("REPLACE INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "phrase (phraseid, languageid, varname, text, phrasetypeid) VALUES (NULL, '0', '" . $varname . "', '" . addslashes($text) ."', '$phrasetype')");

and:

$db->query_write("REPLACE INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "phrase (phraseid, languageid, varname, text, phrasetypeid) VALUES (NULL, '0', '" . $varname . "', '" . addslashes($text) ."', '$phrasetype')");


Just my thoughts. :cool:

Just my thoughts. :cool:

The old code cannot be fixed to work on 3.6.3, that is why it was rewritten.

1.Do you host with yahoo? or another host that does not allow special characters on the server?
2.Check that all the files from the survey folder are on your server.
3.Have you set the permissions for the files?

Hello,

I have translated about 90% of the hack, just wanted to know where this red sentence can be found? I could only find the variable.

Thank you Gareth for sorting it out - it works perfect now :)
[Resolved] The database would not accept the survey_results_text table, this may/may not be a result of the windows server mysql was running on, table was manually imported with changes through phpmyadmin. A fix should be ready in next update of the product-survey.xml

[morrow]

Installed with No problems other than permissioning which was noted in the install doc. Once changed, everything is good.

Now, how about a few sample surveys so I can get an idea of what the hell I'm going to use this for! :) It seams to be a nice hack and I'm sure I'll find a spot on my site for it. I just need some ideas.

Folllowing a quick visit to your homepage:

How about a survey on fishing equipment used, how many fishing trips per year, how far do you travel to fish, best times to fish, quantity caught, places, equipment etc.. ;)

[ivps-Samuel]

Hello,

I added usergroup 1 (Guest/Not Logged In) to answer survey questions but it still seems to require login when the survey is clicked on.

Any ideas?

[Spikeman]

Hello,

I added usergroup 1 (Guest/Not Logged In) to answer survey questions but it still seems to require login when the survey is clicked on.

Any ideas?Please remember the point of a survey is to compile data across a given site to a set of people, however allowing guests the oppurtunity to take the survey would surely make for different results as they could retake the survey many times, therefore throwing your results out. That said here is what you need.

Find this code in survey.php
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']==0) { // override permissions for guests, since userid zero is messy
// They can only see the results, if allowed in the admincp settings
$vbulletin->userinfo['can_admin_surveys'] = 0;
$vbulletin->userinfo['can_take_surveys'] = 0;
$vbulletin->userinfo['can_create_surveys'] = 0;
$vbulletin->userinfo['can_edit_surveys'] = 0;
You will need to change it to some like this:
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']==1) { // override permissions for guests, since userid zero is messy
// They can only see the results, if allowed in the admincp settings
$vbulletin->userinfo['can_admin_surveys'] = 0;
$vbulletin->userinfo['can_take_surveys'] = 1;
$vbulletin->userinfo['can_create_surveys'] = 0;
$vbulletin->userinfo['can_edit_surveys'] = 0;

Once you have changed that you will need to allow guests to take survey more than once, otherwise guests will be informed that they have already taken the survey, so

Find this line in survey/classes/survey.class.php around line 127 either delete or comment the line out.
if($check === ALREADY_COMPLETED) eval(print_standard_error("You have already completed the requested survey.", 0));

That should do it.

I have got a problem with the survey. Its not showing the results afert I answered the questions. Dont know why :(

Does this happen to all results you are trying to view or is this a new error? have you seen results before? what mySQL version are you running?

If i were to install the previous version on my vb 3.5.x boards, then upgraded vb to latest version (3.6.x), how much does upgrading this hack to the 3.6 version entail? I didnt see ay instructions for upgrading. is it simply an overwrite of the included files, or are there db changes, etc... does previous survey data get overwritten?

This is not an upgrade from the previous releases, It is a new install, you must uninstall old version. When you upgrade to 3.6 some tables and some fields that were present in vB 3.5 were removed that were needed to allow the previous version of this hack to function. That said if you take a backup of your survey data you should be able to import it back into the new survey as no changes have been made to the Survey Tables.

Installing this hack is a 2 minute job

[Antivirus]

It is a new install, you must uninstall old version.


so there is an uninstall script with the old version?

Thanks :)

[Spikeman]

Everything went smoothly in the uploads and the product import. I have Survey Systems Options too and have set the necessary fields to allow Admin (usergroup 6) to create a survey.

But, like nanaimobar, I cannot find a function anywhere that actually allows me to create the survey. Where is it supposed to show up? Should it be in the ACP list or is it within threads or elsewhere in the forums.? I've looked everywhere I can think of and can't find a darned thing.

Go to the location of survey.php example http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/survey.php at the bottom of the survey page you should have a create new survey function. If you do not have this then you need to ensure you have added your usergroup to the Survey System Options in ACP. There are no other seetings within the ACP except for the Survey System Options.

All settings are in ACP -> vBulletin Options -> Survey System Options.

To delete the surveys you need to be on the main survey page http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/survey.php select the survey from the dropdown box at the bottom of the page to edit survey, at the bottom of the edit page is a check box to delete the survey.

[Martin-TMGRS]

Did you set the correct permissions?
Is the permissions in user groups ? If it is there is nothing to do with Survey in there.

Do you think i have missed anything? during installation? or after it? maybe server path setting in php files?

[Spikeman]

what is the ur lto your board

[Veer]

PM'ed to you.

[Simetrical]

For an accurate survey, only a random cross-section of the readership should be allowed to take it. That is, I would like every (say) 1000th hit to be asked to take the survey, guest or no, but no one else should be allowed. (If someone would be offered it twice, I suppose their answers should just be doubly weighted, or they should be skipped, or it should just ask them to take it again.) Is this reasonably possible with this hack? From what I seem to be reading, it's just a page that members can express their opinions on, but I have a pretty good line to the members through the forums themselves. I really want to hear from the anonymous viewers.

[Phret]

I am pretty new to vBulletin and I have a question. The forum is now running on our website and we will include vbSEO soon.

Do these hacks, such as this, affect in any way the funtions of vbSEO or cause any trouble?

[Spikeman]

I personally have a lot of hacks installed including vB Survey and have not had any conflicts using VBSEO.

[TheHeartSmasher]

I only have a few problems with vbsurvrey
The username does not show up in the view results when the survey is not set to be anonymous.
There access controls listed in the documentation are not all there. I see:
None - Public Survey
Cookies
IP Address
Username and Password
Invitation Only (Email)

in the documentation.
Other then that this hack is awesome.

[SteveC]

I'd like to use this for an anonymous rating system, similiar to how college students rate professors.

Can it be set so that the replies to the survery are anonymous but all users can read them (just not know who wrote the specific survey they are reading).

Can a standard survey be created as a template that can't be modified. So if a user wants to start a survey about Joe Smith, all they have to do is add "Joe Smith" as the title.

Can it be set so that users can only respond once to each survey. So in my case, I'd want them to be able to fill out one survery for Joe Smith, and another for John Smith, and each survey would have identical questions.

TIA!

Is there a conditional to use within a template so you can see whether the user browsing has already completed a specific survey?

I was to say :

show some text

Spikeman, I really need a way to be able to send each Survey answer in the moderation queue for approval by the admin and the result is shown to all only after that survey answer is manually approved by me. I have a lot of surveys which require text answers and I don't want this feature to be abused as I want to keep it open even for non-registered members.

Ofcourse one partial solution would be to give the view results permission to no one but the problem is that the majority of my surveys are not time based and will be open for an indefinite amount of time and I don't want the results to be indefinitely unviewable. I hope you understand this problem and can add an approval feature to survey submissions. Many thanks for a nice mod and awaiting your reply.

[hurry]

In the permission to take the survey, I have put the ids of all usergroups from 1 to 7, but still when an unregistered forum member tries to go to the survey to take it, it gives the login box forcing one to login which I don't want it to happen. I want that unregistered members can also take the surveys. Is this a bug or anyway to solve this?

Also when I give the registered member groups permission to View Results, still it gives them the error that they do not have permissions to view the survey results. Please help.

Try this post https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1128176&postcount=62

[hurry]

Thanks, that worked but the userid should remain as 0 instead of 1 as otherwise it blocks the admin.

Now how to solve the second problem? When I give the registered member group userid 2 permission to View Results, still it gives them the error that they do not have permissions to view the survey results.

Thirdly there should be a way for the admin to edit survey results. I tried to take some test surveys as unregistered to test the above problem and the results have got stuck there. I want to remove them but found out that there is no way to edit survey results.

Fourthly, can you please kindly consider my previous request to add the moderation-approval-editing features of survey results which will solve the third problem also? Thankyou again.

Great stuff. Very powerful, I did have a problem with permissions even after chmodding them to 744, but I think I worked around it.

Quick question? There are no currency answer types or float/int numericals? The only numerical values are 0-10 or 10+. We'd like to be able to gather some financial answers and average them? It looks like you can use REGEX values to add some in, but I'm afraid REGEX baffles me a bit. I gave it a try but can't seem to get the syntax right, even looked at the convieninetly link ref :( ... Can anyone take pity on the REGEX challenged? Please?

It really is something, what I don't understand. This is such a great tool, I would love to use it, but can't, unless I provide my own translation. Why can't it just use the phrase-tools from VBB? Why is this so difficult for the programmers to work out plugins, which can be translated easily? There isn't only englisch speaking folks around here. Most of my users won't use the surveys, just because they don't know english. *sigh* :(

Wow, works flawlessly but I've a problem with limited or full html. I've tried to chose both of them but when I insert something like word somwhere in the question, it doesn't appear in bold but always like word.

Any suggestion?

[andreamarucci]

Another question if you mind. I would like to translate some user phrases to italian but where are they?

[mma365]

I'm running 3.6.4, is this not compatible with this version?

[dutchbb]

It doesn't work together with this hack: Rules and User Agreement Hack

The survey system stops working when both are enabled.

Maybe this can be looked at?

Solved. You've to put <B>word</B> to make it work.

[ar2]

I'd like to uninstall this hack. How can I do that? Are specific surveys goes to specific files? I'd like to delete all surveys from my serv.

I'll be upgrading my VB to 3.6.

Everything working here, though I don't get graphical results.

I have attached a .gif to show what I mean. What can I do to make the graphs work?

Thx!

[Bonee70]

I also get several errors like "You don't have permission to access /forum/survey/docs/index.html on this server." - what can I do here?

Survey folder was set to CHMOD 744 but I dont get where to do the "chown -R apache:apache survey"

Hello, has this worked me of marvel, during one week, now he/she does give me error, and not you of where he/she comes, can somebody help me? thank you. The error that gives is this:

I was just about to install this hack but have noticed that Spikeman hasn't been here for over 2 months yet there is a "Supported" tick in the hack details - anyone know how this is going to be supported in the future?

[TechDawg]

I am having a problem with the usage of the survey mod.

I followed all of the instructions and read every post, but I have a new problem.

I get the main survey screen with the two sample surveys, I have permissions setup correctly and I can see "Edit Surveys" and the link for "Create New Survey", and I confirmed the options in the admincp.

My problem: When I click on any link; take survey, view results, edit, or new survey it returns me back to the main survey screen. The address bar shows what I presume to be the correct address(es) with variables but I just get to see the main survey screen over & over. The only links that work are the documentation and the copyright links.

/forum/survey.php?&do=take&sid=5
/forum/survey.php?&do=results&sid=5
/forum/survey.php?do=edit_survey&sid=5&submit=Edit+Survey
/forum/survey.php?do=new_survey

I have installed it twice, twice in a row, and then uninstalled and re-installed the product. I confirmed every file is uploaded and the chmod/chown was done.

Any thoughts?

I am also having the same problem. In addition, as noted recently, I am concerned that the author has not commented or been logged in for over 2 months. The last comment made was a statement that the above question would be address in the weekend following the question, but it was never answered.

I hope there is some word soon.

Thanks,

TechDawg

[akulion]

thanks
installed and seems to be workin a-ok

[Spikeman]

Apologises to all who have requested support here and due to my absense have not recieved it. Not been around for some time due to circumstances that i shall not go into at this stage, I shall be back on top of things in a couple of days and will address any outstanding issues.

[fpattberg]

Good to have Spikeman back to give support for vBSurvey.

I really love this hack but has it been tested on 3.6.7?

Thanks.

Works perfectly on 3.6.7 here. :)

[tormodg]

This is simply a BRILLIANT plugin. Thanks for your stellar work on integrating the UCCASS system.

If I may make a couple of feature reqs:
- ability to show rankings of users (ie how many surveys taken, leaderboards per surveys...)
- ability to have ratings and comments of the surveys
- ability to show amount of correct replies after finishing a survey

Since we'll mostly be using this as a quiz module it makes sense to have some "competition" features.

The UCCASS should also have the ability to create multiple choice questions with custom answers - this would be perfect for quizzes. They way it is built requires you to include the options in the question and let users respond with a number.

But well done.

[santimariani]

I am getting the following error message:

I have seen in this thread that this has been posted before, but I haven't found a solution. I followed the instructions in setting the folder, subfolders, and files to 744 and asked my host to change the owner/group accordingly. Has a solution been found? This would be an AWESOME hack for my board, and I appreciate all of the work that was put into it. :) Now if only I could get it to work... :p

BINGO I searched for 2 hours through 3.5 thread, and now 3.6.

For people with the refresh problem, you must disable "Rules and User Agreement Hack".

Symptom: When clicking on any link within the main survey menu, page just refreshes, but shows the correct URL of the link.

[iBaker]

Great to see you back Spikeman - clicked install and nominated

[garyrogers]

All works ok apart from the results. when you click to see rsults in either text or numeric format all you get is a txt file with the headers in, ie the questions. I cant see an answer to this and wondered if any others have had similar. I am running 3.6.7

[zkilzz]

I only have a few problems with vbsurvrey
The username does not show up in the view results when the survey is not set to be anonymous.
There access controls listed in the documentation are not all there. I see:
None - Public Survey
Cookies
IP Address
Username and Password
Invitation Only (Email)

in the documentation.
Other then that this hack is awesome.

I have this problem to. Spikeman?? Any ideas?

Hi All
I have installed this great mod but I am also after either a different mod or a way to do quizzes with this mod. I need users to be able to take a quiz and then see if they got the answers right - any suggestions is greatly appreciated and thanks!

[gazzak]

Installed and thank you.

One question, when you are taking the survey the small fixed text at the top of the survey says "Survey Questions". Is there any way of changing that text?

I'd like to see other examples of this in use. I am considering adding a survey as a subforum am hoping to see someone who has done this already and how it looks/functions.

thx in advance... :D

[QUOTE=Biggles;1136450]
Go to the location of survey.php example http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/survey.php at the bottom of the survey page you should have a create new survey function. If you do not have this then you need to ensure you have added your usergroup to the Survey System Options in ACP. There are no other seetings within the ACP except for the Survey System Options.

i was having the same problems as these other guys....the survery shows in vbulletin options but nowhere else. i went to the link you you posted and i get this error message

I have followed your instructions, (about 7 times now) and I have had no luck. I am running 3.6.8 and if this is just a permissions issue, please let me know.

Spike is here for about 4 mins every 2-3 months, he is obviously busy, perhaps pass this onto someone else, who can finish it off, and take it out of Beta Stage, and provide sufficient support for this awesome hack?

[patch developer]

Actually i faced some trouble with this survey system and then i found a solution for it , the problem was writing permissions to the directories under survey directory , to solve this i change the access right to 755 except this file under smarty directory which called smarty.class.php you have to keep it as 644 to work fine

i translate the template defult into arabic as i could as it was possible and you can find this in attachments

thanks alot for the coder of this , this solution can help alot in researches

[goorgoor]

i get this error:

I've looked through this thread for an answer to this question and my apologies if its been answered.

When I go to http://links.domain.com/forum/survey.php I get this:

WARNING: Cannot find default template path. Expecting: D:\\webpage\\links/survey/templates/Default

The location of the these templates for survey should be...

<rootweb>\links\FORUM\survey\templates\default... Or something like that.

On line 7 of the survey.php it has:
require("./global.php");

this that determines the location.. Or am I wrong? Its just not pointing to the right place.

[klaush]

I never got this stuff to work with 3.5.x, but this is working fine with 3.6.8. Thank you for the amazing job on this mod!

Did anybody translate this mod in the German language?

[David_McPherson]

I'm on 3.6.3 and still nothing. Same problem as above.

[JADM]

I am using 3.6.8, no problems...This is a great product! One question, can you update/edit a previously completed survey? I am trying to get people to post time of various events as they go through a process. But if not, I think I have to break my 25 question survey down into steps in the process.

Also, anyone know what is up with support? It looks like Spikeman has not been around in a long time. This is a great tool, its a shame if it just withers on the vine.

well I can't figure it out. The instructions in one place say to go to admincp/vbsurvey_install.php but there's no files in the admincp folder in the download.

Could you please add some instructions to the main post along with the install instructions?

Can someone tell me how to get it to run?

[Heika]

After you get it all installed, go to whatever your forum's name is, and then add /survey.php.

www.whateveryourforumiscalled.com/survey.php

From there, you can create whatever type of survey you would like. The mod has a really nice survey setup area, very versatile.

Heika

[SteveC]

Thanks Heika. I had tried that, but all it does is bring up a screen to take or view sample surveys. Shouldn't there be a button or link within my forum to create surveys? And for users to take them once one is created?

I suspect there's some installation step that didn't happen. Was there supposed to be a file in the admincp folder in the download?

Hi Steve,

At the bottom of the screen, does it have a link text that says, "Create New Survey" and "Documentation"? If not, there is a problem with the installation or your permissions. Did you give admins permission to create a survey? You can find the screen to grant permissions under Vbulletin Options------> Survey System options. 5 and 6 are moderators and admins, unless you created special user groups. 2 is registered users for most groups, and that would give them permission to take the surveys you create.

The admincp folder in the installation package was empty for me, too.

Heika

Can anyone port this to work with v3.7 also? It is a very useful tool to ignore!

[powerful_rogue]

The following dependencies were not met:

1. This product is not compatible with version 3.7.0 Release Candidate 2 of vBulletin. (Compatible starting with 3.6.0 / Incompatible with 3.6.99 and greater)

Thats such a shame. I really hope this will be updated to work with 3.7 as I could really do with this on my board.

[powerful_rogue]

Ive just removed

<dependencies>
<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="3.6.0" maxversion="3.6.99"></dependency>
</dependencies>


from the product file and it installs fine. Had a quick look and it seems to be working with no errors. Will give it a proper test later, however looks like it is compatable with 3.7 :)

Followed all instructions, in vbulletin options showed up as survey system options, all the options are good but nothing shows up on a forum..

Very powerful.. excellent survey software.

Which template should i edit to translate this mod ? Thanks for the job.Mod almost translated. I only need to know where to translate the "answers". If i modify the answers for one survey, the translation ain't saved for all the surveys.

This hack is good for VBB 3.7.1 patch 2!
I've just installed it (with many many problems but then i was successful)
Thanks the owner of this topic!
You're very nice!

Now I have to calculate the results of my survey follow formula.
Example: There are 20 questions in my survey with 4 options in each question: A, B, C, D
After users finished this survey, how do I show their results like this:
(number of option A) * 5 = ..... %A
(number of option B) * 5 = ..... %B
(number of option C) * 5 = ..... %C
(number of option D) * 5 = ..... %D
20 = 100%
Your percent of A-option (B,C,D) is highest so that .... (conclusion of survey)

Anyone can show me how to do it?

Just tried to install this on a 3.6.4 and it all went in okay - but when trying to run survey.php it just splurges the php code from input->clean_array_gpc('r', array(... onwards.

Any ideas why that would be?

Great Mod, really hoping I can get it sorted!

waiting for an update for 3.7 :)

I am looking for the access control settings? Are they in admincp as I don't see them in the Edit Survey options. Specifically, I am trying to make a public survey with all of the users groups having access, but I still get a login prompt when trying to answer the survey..are there related vb access that are needed that are conflicting with the add-in program?

Thanks.

Anyone using it on 3.7.2 ?

[edytwinky]

Good stuff. Going to install it on my board.

[Defkalion]

waiting for an update for 3.7 :)

Anyone using it on 3.7.2 ?

I'm using it on my 3.7 and it's working with no problems.

[bhr4ce1]

Total novice here, but LOVE this program. Works perfectly for my needs.

Any idea why the survey will not show members names (did NOT make it anonymous) or give results in the csv exported files?

Thank you

[leonnix]

Does it work with 3.7.3

[PtitLu]

Does it work with 3.7.3Perfectly ;)

[leonnix]

cool ! this will come into handy ! thx man !

[biocyberman]

I managed to install this mod after a small tweak:
In file product-vbsurvey.xml, I had to change this line:
<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="3.6.0" maxversion="3.6.99"></dependency>
to this:
<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="3.6.0" maxversion="3.8.3"></dependency>
The 3.8.3 is just a trick to bypass version checking.

Things work great. But can anybody access security level of this mod when we install to vb 3.7? This mod uses smarty templating system. Do I need to add CSRF protection?

[moonclamp]

I've just installed on 3.7.2 and can't do anything.

Set the permissions, but clicking on any of the default the links just refreshes the page.

[eternal_]

I just downloaded but haven't installed. I'm looking at the files first and noticed the AdminCP folder is empty. Is it supposed to be empty?

[kiwivc]

Running 3.6.8 PL1 with this mod giving no problems until now. I'm wanting to add another usergroup to be able to Create Surveys. I've added the usergroup ID to: Usergroups allowed to create surveys however members from that particular usergroup (51) have no access to the Create New Survey link.

Usergroups allowed to create surveys: 6,9 (old) <-- works for usergroups 6 & 9
Usergroups allowed to create surveys: 6,9,51 (new) <---works ONLY for usergoups 6 & 9

I've also tried adding usergroup 51 to: Usergroups allowed to edit surveys & Usergroups allowed to administrate all surveys without any permission changes being obvious. Usergroup 51 is still unable to create a new survey. :confused:

EDIT: I worked out that the usergroup must be a primary usergroup or it won't work. Using 51 as anyone's secondary usergroup refused to work whereas using 51 as the same persons primary usergroup works perfectly.

[Digma]

Allright this is weird. Just installed it for 3.7.3 and when running survey.php I get:
Error: Cannot find file: ./survey/smarty/Smarty.class.php

The file is there, everything is placed as it should be. Though this error. Tried solving it by changing the file it includes where it happens but to no effect.

Any ideas (oh and my forum is not placed directly at domain root but in a director like /forum)

[solidlink]

waiting for someone to revise the version :(

[DanTHEGREAT]

It doesn't work with vB 8................................................. ..............

[jammiedodger546]

running smoothly on 3.8 rc1

[Neutral Singh]

Is this working on 3.8.0 Gold?

[biocyberman]

Is this mod abandoned? I hope somebody will make it to stable and working with vb3.8

[kiwivc]

I've used this mod on 3.6.8 for ages with no problem. I reinstalled this same mod on a new server and I can't get it to show the results in table view. The results of any questionnaire/survey shows the answers as a graphic result however the table view result appears empty. I've uninstalled/reinstalled twice with the same outcome. Any help would be appreciated thanks :)

Solved: uninstalled

[Matt_Crawford]

Any updates on releasing this for 3.8 - or has anyone else run it?

[AyeCapn]

[fahl]

Runs fine on 3.8.2

[Spikeman]

There is a 3.8.2 version in 3.8 mod section ;)

[vitrag24]

will this work for vb 3.7.1?

[Elenna]

It worked on my 3.7.2, so I would imagine so.

Hi,

I've a problem with the layout. I attached a screenshot where you can see what I'm talking about (red marker) ;).

I bet this can be fixed fast but I don't find the solution ;).

VB 4.0 Capable?

[fulviods]

vb 4 ??

[veritygill]

How do I install the product-survey.xml file?

[mawby]

VB 4.0 Capable?It is, but you need to change the template and the survey.php file. I've had this installed on my site since vB3.5 and have managed to keep it going all this time. I could try and port this to vB4 if there is enough demand for it. (And with the owners permission)

[jcard]

Hi Mawby

Could you provide more details on what exactly you changed in "the template and the survey.php file" to make it work with 4.0??

Or if you have it ported to vB4?

Thank you so much in advance!

JC

[mawby]

Hi. This is the contents of my vbsurvey template...

<head>
<title>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle} - {vb:raw pagetitle}</title>
{vb:raw headinclude}

</head>
<body>

{vb:raw header}

{vb:raw navbar}

<div id="pagetitle">
<h1>{vb:raw pagetitle}</h1>

And attached is my survey.php file.

Hope it helps.

Thank you mawby, that's excellent. I'll set aside some time to try this out. Appreciate your reply greatly!

any updates on a vb v4.1 + compat version of this mod?

Read the posts above yours.....

i was more of referring to the functionality of the modification. Many of the features do not work i.e. results, exporting, etc... not to mention styling issues
