Really nice job, thanks for releasing it ;)

very close to a quiz hack

I suppose a little modification and it could be a quiz hack really :P

- Zero Tolerance

Great hack! Will be installing...

Excellent work as usual Zero! :)

Great job... thanks a lot!

fantastic hack, VERY useful
thank you

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 =)

- Zero Tolerance

oh my..
I like this!!

thanks a lot this should be a great addition

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!

Hi,

great Hack, is it possible to view the stats, but only admins can see the usernames who voted?!

Regards,

Tobi

will install ;)

I won't use this hack, but let me congratulate you... you got some real vB Hacking talent, ZT!

Tnx, this is great that you maked this! :)

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

i was about to post a request for a survey modification :) you came out with it.
thanx for the efforts will test it and install ASAP :)


Regards,

hix. I did as you asked in readme file but i just recived a blank page.

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 :)

- Zero Tolerance

was just about to ask that, that worked for me

great script and installer! works perfectly (1 suggestion, add a selector for the vbstyle to modifiy)

thank you!!

Yeah i will do that in future, stops confusion and extra work :)

Fantastic! Just what I needed....

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!

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:
with:
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!

Hi,

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

Regards,

Tobias

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

Oops -- indeed! I've edited the above post. Thanks for the sharp eye.

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

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

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).

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

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

Where do you add/replace such code?

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.

In vBSurvey.php.

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?
