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

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tamarian: Who originally made this a vB hack for vB 3.5

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 this will not upgrade the 3.5 version.

I did obtain the permission from tamarian to port this to 3.6.

This is my first big hack here so I would grateful if you did click Install 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

Hey it suddenly stopped working??? It shows the index page for de surveys and the correct url but when I click a link like add new survey it just redirects to the same page (index)

How is this posible, it always worked perfectly?

Help me. I can't run it.

I'm having problems with the script too. When I go to http://site.com/survey.php and click on one of the sample quizzes they don't load. I tried using vb_install to install the old version and I got a database error. It seems like a nice script but I'm having difficulties installing it..

Here's the error I get:
Invalid SQL:
REPLACE INTO phrase (phraseid, languageid, varname, text, phrasetypeid) VALUES (NULL, '0', 'vbsurvey', 'vB Survey', '1');

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'phrasetypeid' in 'field list'
Error Number : 1054

Is there an ETA for vbSurvey to come out of beta phase?

[santimariani]

I'm getting these errors... any idea why? I chmoded it to 744, but I could not chown it as specified due to have only two options: you and webserver. Thanks for the help! Can't wait to use this!

Also, I cannot find the vbsurvey_install.php file anywhere. Where can I find it? (sorry if this is a really dumb question!)

[mma365]

Three errors:

Notice: Undefined index: HTTP_REFERER in e:\***\forum\includes\class_core.php on line 1602

Warning: main(survey/classes/main.class.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in \survey.php on line 8

Please help! Thank you =)

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?
