thank you

[Natch]

OMG!

Well done man... nice job!

Did you build it from the ground up, or did you customise a GPL package to talk to vB properly?

I have no idea what you meant by "or did you customise a GPL package to talk to vB properly?" .. either way, i made it from scratch =)

[moley]

thanks a lot this should be a great addition

[yinyang]

ok, i'm going to appear really noobish for asking this, but how is this different from the polling sytem?

It is similar, but however it is seperate, and it can have multiple questions where as a poll would only have one question. And only administrators may control the Surveys.

But then you must ask yourself, what is a survey? A poll!

[Tradjick]

Great idea! I always wished some extension to the "poll feature in vB". Thank you Zero Tolerance!!!

[SaN-DeeP]

The templates install on your default skin, change your default skin to another and run the skin install part again to add the templates on other skins you may have :)

Beaten to the punch again!

Just discovered that my members can see who voted, I'd love an option for it to be visable to admins only.

Just wanted to mention again, this is a great hack for doing market research and R&D, thanks a ton!

[akiy]

Just discovered that my members can see who voted, I'd love an option for it to be visable to admins only. It looks like you're going to have to modify the code as the table rows/cells that make up the "Who voted" row isn't template-ized.

Any way, here's one way to do this if you only want Administrators (usergroupid = 6) to see the stats:

Replace:
$Options .= "<tr>
<td width='80%' class='alt2'>{$opt['q']}</td>
<td width='20%' class='alt1' align='center'>This has had {$opt['votes']} vote(s)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width='100%' class='alt1' colspan='2'><b>Who Voted:</b> {$thisVoted}</td>
</tr>
\n";
with:
$Options .= "<tr>
<td width='80%' class='alt2'>{$opt['q']}</td>
<td width='20%' class='alt1' align='center'>This has had {$opt['votes']} vote(s)</td>
</tr>";
if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6) {
$Options .="<tr>
<td width='100%' class='alt1' colspan='2'><b>Who Voted:</b> {$thisVoted}</td>
</tr>
\n";
}
You can modify the "if" confitional to include more usergroupids (eg "if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6 || $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 7)") if you want other usergroups to see the stats...

Hope that helps!

[Cheertobi]

Hi,

@akiy
yep, found that out last night and worked great! Thanks for helping anyway.

Regards,

Tobias

[alkatraz]

awesome! thx for the support

one problem in your fix tho
missing a } to close the if condition. added one after \n"; and it works great

[mcyates]

It would look better if the results where also in graph format like the polls in the messages.

[Kagen]

make a quiz hack :D that'll increase some popularity there ZT u always had useful hacks :D

[Imperial Fritz]

Great hack, installed, however:

My board is not english therefore I found the hack not easy for multilingual boards, i.e. I have to go into each file and translate the phrases, or better, replace the plain text with vbphrases, which should be done by the installer.

I'd like to see coloured bars showing the number of votes :)


edit: since I'm reworking all files to convert plain text into vbphrases, I can post them when I finish (but you'll have to do the phrase population yourselves).

[Edric]

Does this hack work with VB 3.0.1? I'd like to implement it.

[Edric]

Ignore my previous questions, it works well on 3.0.1 as well.

[Edric]

It looks like you're going to have to modify the code as the table rows/cells that make up the "Who voted" row isn't template-ized.

<td width='20%' class='alt1' align='center'>This has had {$opt['votes']} vote(s)</td>

Where do you add/replace such code?

[spence2]

With three of your hacks installed, ZT, my board's beginning to look like a tribute to your great coding!

Thank you so much for sharing your work.

You're aces.

[akiy]

Where do you add/replace such code?
In vBSurvey.php.

[Edric]

Ok, worked fine akiy, survey anonymous.

However it seemed that not everyone of my members can access the survey page, many get a blank page, for me and other members it works fine however, perfectly I would say. Any known related problem to this one?

[SVTBlackLight01]

It looks like you haven't added the templates to all your styles.

[gmarik]

A big one indeed!

[Edric]

It looks like you haven't added the templates to all your styles.

Yes, thanks! I probably did it on the default style exclusively. I will try what you imply and report back with the results, most probably it wil work. :)

[Edric]

Unfortunately it does not appear to work. My style sets are in a hierarchical structure therefore modifying the first should make it work. This is not so, it works perfectly fine with the style sets I modified in the first instance of installation however when I do the code changes in the template navbar of the main style set the results are the same.

Any ideas of what I am doing wrong?

The only template I see listed in the instruction text file is navbar, is that correct?

[Edric]

I believe that I have to re-install the hack for it to work on all styles. In doing so, would I lose the surveys I created?

[alzibub]

Think I will install this one - thanks for the code!

[j_86]

This hack is VB 3.05 compatiable.

[MikaK]

Interesting hack. Going to give it a try. *installs*

1) Would it be difficult to make the navbar survey link to show by the <if> conditional ie. the link would show only if a survey is active?

2) Would it be difficult to mod this further so that anyone (from allowed user groups) could add questions and the related options while anyone (again, from the alllowed groups) would be entitled to vote and view the stats?




=M=

[lange]

I'll try it. Thanks.

[MajorFm.com]

can this be made a bit more interesting e.g. we have all seen those chain mails that go round sayin how sexy are you or how much of a pimp are you, the user answers a series of questions then it tells the user how much % they are pimped out or something like that... this is useful for joke e-mails and marketing to increase traffic...

A good example of this can be seen at:

[Intex]

Nice hack Zero_Telerance.

Is it possible to have a field where users can type in a response? This would be extremely useful and allow the admins to capture specific feedback that's not a menu choice as such.

That, and would it be possible for multi-select checkboxes to capture responses with more than one answer?

[CommunityZ]

How to uninstall this hacks?
http://YOURSITE.COM/FORUMS/admincp/install_vbsurvey.php
I need to uninstall all files,db,templates that install_vbsurvey.php altered.

[mclark2112]

Is this limited to yes/no or multiple choice questions? T would like to add a text box field for addt'l comments.

[Kihon Kata]

INSTALLED! How can I allow my users to do multiple answers? (check off more than one)

[carolmyt]

I would like to second (third?) the request for a fill-in response option.

[Zero Tolerance]

This mod is obsolete now really, my new quiz system can do what most of you are asking for and more: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=80780
