easyFeedback - How do your users rate your community? · **Released**: 06-11-2006

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!

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.

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

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
