Re: Flexible Forms - STORED IN DB WITH REPORTING

It is meant as a questionnaire module

Comparing it to xHelp is like comparing News and Newbb - xHelp is for individual problems and questions, Survey is for gathering statistical answers to certain questions.

However, you can of course use it as a contact module, should you wish to use it like that.

This is nothing like xhelp.

If you are looking for a help desk, then xhelp is great. If you need a way to create flexible forms and store and retreive that data from a DB, then this will be great.

Really not even similar.

Re: Flexible Forms - STORED IN DB WITH REPORTING

OK, most of the items on my list have been incorporated.

- Radio "group" of questions with the same replies (e.g. the answer options very happy, happy, I don't know, unhappy, very unhappy for a range of questions)
- "Other" option for radio and checkbox questions
- Reports can be pulled in Excel XML format, one can choose to purge the replies after exporting and later only get new replies (a little sketchy, but I hope it makes sense once you try it)
- Survey listing in the administration area can be filtered by searching for one or more words in both surveys and questions
- Generic element for displaying name, position, company, address and more. Everything but the email can be toggled and this element is *required* when using the email validation of replies

It is available through the existing download link on JKP XOOPS Development - I will update the version number one of the following days and separate the Danish translation into an individual language pack.

I think I found a bug...

In the admin interface: When you select "Add a new Survey" it links to /admin/index.php?op=newform. This does nothing. After some investigation, I believe it should link to /admin/form.php?op=newform. When I manually direct my browser there it works fine.

Correction! - It does not work fine. I get the message NO GO.

Help please

Ah bugger. Yes, I changed the thingie from index.php to form.php

Can you turn on MySQL debug for the NO GO?

All kinds of MySQL errors in the admin section, not just the add form.

I think it all stems from the hard coding of the xoops_ prefix in your sql file.

It installs 'prefix'_xoops_survey_'tablename' but queries 'prefix_survey_'tablename'

Hope this makes sense.

Update - Yup that did the trick! I removed the xoops_ from all of the table names in mysql.sql

Oh brother!

/me hides in shame for this newbie mistake and promises never again to just save SQL structure dumps in a XOOPS sql structure file but remember to remove the prefix.

That is why I always test by uninstalling and installing fresh , not just upgrading the the module.

On the bright side, if it had been a more complex problem I would have never found it. Only simple stuff comming from me

BTW - Where do you prefer to have bugs submitted. Dev site, your site, e-mail, in this forum. I have noticed some minor useablitiy issues. The export to excel gives me this: Cannot create Excel file
