Or more specifically, anyone here that is familiar with building system tray like applications that basiclly display a webpage? What I mean are things like sys tray programs that are used in a lot of online support chat type programs where it's just a web page embedded in a windows application rather than a web browser? Something that can track simple things like if the mouse has been inactive for a period of time and then passing some variable to the embedded webpage (like javascript to alert the page that the computer is inactive?)

Any help would be a HUGE help! This is for a future module I have planned ;)

using a web browser alone is not an option since it can't track anything like mouse activity outside of the browser window.

Well, like others I've not read through the 9 pages or so... just the last one.

I'm sure someone already suggested this, but why not have different levels in the contest? Something that allows a level of entry for everyone, and each with thier own reward?

Not to sound concieded, but I would not enter a theme contest where everyone was judge on the same level as I have a very unfair advantage over many others (Being both a program and designer that has worked with XOOPS for 2.5 years). However, if there was an "Expert" (for lack of a better name) category that had very restrictive requirements (compliance to web standards) I would enter, but not unless there were other categories for others to enjoy.

Although I do not have any exact suggestions on what those categories may be, I believe we could accomidate most with a few different levels, each being EQUAL in their reward, just different levels of restrictions.

At judging we could also evelaute them and bump an entry up a class if it's clearly to "advanced" for the category it was submitted too (just to be fair to others).

Anyway, that's my $0.02, take it for what it's worth.

I have a class that I designed for a module I'm currently working on that allows you to add a tool tip to any piece of text using a very simple function. It's not really ready for use outside the module it's currently in but I'll see about making it more usefull for any situation, and maybe add a SMATRY function for use in templates, and release it for others to use.

It uses the JS file fromhttp://webfx.eae.net/dhtml/helptip/helptip.html

Is your survey live? If you have not activated your survey then the answers will not be saved and may be the reason for the error.

This happens when you submit the survey after filling it out?

This is not an error, but rather the way the original script works. This script/module is meant to be linked to, not directly accessed. What this means is that there is no central "index" listing page of any kind, but rather you use the link for your survey to access the survey's themselves.

Again, this is just a very basic port of the oringal script, I've not added any "enhancements" to it as of yet.

One f the things I plan to do is create some blocks and possibly a custom index page. But for now you must provide the link in some other form of document (news posting, forum, article etc) which provides the proper ID for the survey you want to link to. This can be found under the survey's main index in the admin panel and should look something likehttp://localhost/dev/modules/surveyorx/index.php?sid=1.

Hope that helps!

Ok, think I found the problem. Try downloading it again from the above link.

Hey guys,

Not sure about the error, I'll have a look.

As for the admin menu... there's no sub menu for it yet. Just click the module icon (the menu items are within the module admin pages.

I'll have a look at the includes... looks like I just have a path wrong. Should be easy to correct. I'm not at home at the moment so I'll fix it tomorrow. I have it working fine on my local system.

Hey guys, I subitted this to the module news, but I'll make a post about it since I'm not sure how long the news will take to be posted.

[quote]Hey folks, I've ported the most current version of PHP Surveyor to Xoops.

Quick blurb on PHPSurveyor
----------------------------
What is PHP Surveyor?

PHP Surveyor is a set of PHP scripts that interact with MySQL to develop surveys, publish surveys and collect responses to surveys. Once a survey has been created it can be published as an online survey (displayed as single questions, group by group or all in one page) or you can use a dataentry system for administration of paper-based versions of the survey. PHP Surveyor can produced 'branching' surveys (set conditions on whether individual questions will display), can vary the look and feel of your survey through a templating system, and can provide basic statistical analysis of your survey results.

PHP Surveyor includes the capacity to generate individualised 'tokens', so if you have a list of people you want to invite to participate in a survey you can issue each one with a token, and they will be able to access the survey using that token. This allows for quite good quality control of your surveys.
----------------------------

While this is a beta, it should be relatively stable.

Please download it and give it a try. Let me know if you find any bugs.

I'll be setting this up as a module project when I get a few minutes.

I've tried my best to limit the XOOPS code to an absolute minimum so updating it with future releases should be relatively simple. Due to this tough, you will need to use PHP Surveyors integrated template system for altering the actual forms. This shouldn't be a big deal as the templates are very simply HTML pages. You can use the integrated template system to make your changes. It will still appear within your XOOPS theme.

You can download the Beta version at:

Have fun!

Certainly everything you've mentioned Rick is completely doable, with enough time and the proper people doing it.

Your ideas are very interesting, I'll continue to monitor this thread and see what develops. This project may be something I can contribute to in way of Module or Theme design.
