Thanks also from me, Spikeman. I now have something to play with for a while so as to get the hang of it. Seems pretty cool. Looking at that UCCASS site, I would not have known where to begin to set that up - sheesh!

Just one question, if I may: why doesn't your install.txt advise where to go to access the hack? Or did I miss it somewhere?

Regards

im wondering why i cant delete the installed surveys.. i went to admincp to see what the admin page is, but there is no admincp... i cant delete the surveys i create or the ones that came with the hack....

a damn good hack though..

To access the survey page goto http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/survey.php

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.

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

You need to set the server permissions, this can be done through your ftp, if you are not familiar with this PM me some ftp login details and I will take a look for you.

I'm unable to change owner/group to apache:apache because my server has the user name in front of all ftp users as well. Does this mean I wont be able to use the hack ?

You should still be able to chmod the directories to the specified settings, which should get it working.

I shell try and see if I can get it to work.

ok I chmod all the directories to 744 and still not working.

Hi,
I want to translate the mod to the hebrew lang.
Can you explain me how to do it?

Thanks.

I'll wait untill this comes out of beta before I install it. My forum really needs a survey tool but I don't have the time to test anything right now.

Installed on 3.6.0
But when i click /survey.php i am getting this message:

survey.php file uploaded on root forum (in public_html)
survey directory is uploaded on root forum (in public_html)

Any idea, please !!

You can translate the phrases for the Survey System Options through the phrase manager in ACP, all other parts to be translated can be found within the class.php files located within survey/classes

You will not require to test it, all is working fine as is, it was only released as beta to be cautious, however, the only real problems encountered have been permission based or users running on windows servers. It will come out of beta when I have finished phrasing the package..(finish date unknown)

I do not understand why your survey.php is looking in your includes file for the templates?

Yes, i am really confused about it, because i didn't touch any setting, just uploaded survey.php and survey directory in my root forum directory (public_html) and only imported the product via admincp, it was successfully imported, i have also checked vbulletin options > Survey System Options, everything looks fine, but when i am going to survey main page it says:
:(

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

what is the ur lto your board

PM'ed to you.

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.

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?

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

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'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!

/edit: my bad - wrong link ... arrgghhhhh

Took a while to find the surveys page. A possible hack for the 'quick links' menu?

J

GREAT work, thank you.

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 :

[If Browsing User Has Not Completed Survey X Then]show some text[/if]

Thanks in advance.

Simon

i will add to my list :)

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.

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....6&postcount=62

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.

Possible addons I am considering:
1. Ability to post final survey results directly to forum thread
QUOTE]

First of all, We installed at www.mycockpit.org with ease. Wonderful MOD and addition to our site. I look forward to using it to it's full capacity. Thank you Spikeman!!!

Now for the question, as noted in the above quote. Is this option available (I may of missed it somewhere), or is this a future addon?

[QUOTE=molieman;1155742]It will be a future addon

Thanks a lot!
Btw I have an issue, right now, a member took the survey and it's not anonymous. However, his name did not show up in the table as the others. What could be the cause?
Also, do you know how can I make the questions in the table view of the results smaller? the table is huge! I tried to find it myself but the code is huge and it doesn't work with vb templates...

Thanks a lot in advance :)

Is it possible to show the user names, then their answers? I checked all of the permissions and settings and can't find a way to display the user names if the survey is NOT anonymous.

Also, is it possible to show all answers instead of clicking "View Answer" for each question WITHOUT having to do some kind of export?

Thanks

I apologize in advance if this is a old topic I may of missed.

First of all, Survey worked fantastic until we moved to a new server. We made sure all the directories chmod was set, according to the installation instructions.

We're now getting the following error:

Warning: Smarty error: unable to read template resource: "Default/available_surveys.tpl" in /survey/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 589

We've tried all sorts of combinations of chmod settings, and went from worse back to the above error.

Probably something simple we're missing :eek: You're guidance will be greatly appreciated :)

Could someone please help me? I have followed the directions (atleast I THOUGHT I had) however, when I go to http://www.myforumname.com/forums/survey.php, I get only a blank screen. I have changed my server permissions, and my usergroup permissions are also set correctly.

Any help, please?!

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 will address all these questions and problems over this coming weekend, pinned down at work right now, please bare with me :)

Hello.

This is an excellent hack/mod.

Thanks much.

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?

TIA for any help!

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* :(

I can not find vbsurvey_install.php anywhere on the zip file
