easyFeedback - How do your users rate your community?
 

Hello there!

I recently stumbled across a nice little script made by Ahmed Farooq
of 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? ;)

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.

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:

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 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:
07/31/06 - 1.1
+ bugfix
+ uses phrases


1.0 first release

looks very promising, thanks :)

does it disapear once a user has voted as you dont want them to multivote as that would be defeating the object ???

That is the reason, yes! :)


The Chief: Have you installed it? Don't forget to click 'install' as you'll get notified when I update the Add-on. :)

Good to see our script being used as a hack :)

Good to see you here! :)

I've been here for ages - mostly just posting templates. We do a lot of stuff :)

So if they clear their cookies, will the feedback link come back up again, allowing multiple votes?

thinks

Its not showing the current rating of the site all it says is:

Our users rated this community: ( votes in total, 5 - Excellent, 1 - Horrible)
