Mini Mods - 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 - ALWAYS do a BACKUP BEFORE you install an Add-on!


ENJOY!

Just tried the LIVE DEMO mentioned above. It's V-E-R-Y close to what I'm looking for, but from what I saw you can either supply a numerical grade -or- you can add a short comment, correct? Out of curiosity, is there anyway to do BOTH? And where do those comments go to?? Thanxx!

EDIT: I'm just SLOW, it will do BOTH. If you type a comment in, it doesn't go away until you've given a numerical grade. S-W-E-E-T!! This is what I've been wanting.

i am using IE7 and this script would not work... so i edited the .js to get it to work.. I am hoping the coder of this hack dont mind me reposting this hack.

i didnt take out anything that would take his credit, just thought this was a useful hack falling to the wayside.

also, if this hack does not work for your forum, and its not related to browser issues...... good luck....

It doesn't work for me either and im using 3.6.8 PL2.

The graphic appears on the bottom left corner for me and when i click it nothing happens.
