I would like to export the data as a CSV file, however, it is exporting as a PHP file. The software even asks to export as a CSV file. Please help. Thanks!

On my site, only logged in users see the posts that have surveys. I’d like to make it so that the login information is captured (instead of people having to provide it) and that they only get the survey once. Can you point me in the right direction for making these changes?

I like this idea a lot but when I do as you say I get an error…

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ‘,’ or ‘;’ in /home/orvzauhv/public_html/neweraconsulting.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/surveys/show_survey.php on line 16

Any help appreciated or even better how could we get it to stop the person moving to the next page if they haven’t answerd all the qustions

Thanks..

Thank you for a great plug-in !

There’s one thing that would ‘fit’ your plug-in… when ‘focusing’ on the user-answer (with a radio/checkbox in front)… the checkbox/radio should automatically get ‘checked’ without the user’s input.

A simple 1-liner can do this (maybe someone else is interested in this so I’m posting it here)
jQuery("input.user-answer").focus(function() { jQuery(this).prev().attr('checked', true); });

Just add it (inside script.js) above:
jQuery("#survey-next-question").click(nextQuestion);

Have a great day

If you want just JS validation, use script.js. For server side validation, use show_survey.php

Ah never mind Binny, I found it in show_survey.php.
If anyone else needs it, add:

foreach($_POST['question_id'] as $question_id) {
if(!$_POST['answer-' . $question_id]) { echo “Sorry, you did not answer the following questions: $question_id. All questions are required. Please try again.”; }
}

after this line in show_survey.php

if(isset($_POST['action']) and $_POST['action']) {

and go back to them form

^^Hey Binny, I tracked it down to function e(..), which calls the function _e in wpframe. I don’t know where this goes though?

Hey Binny,
Thanks a lot, great plugin and very well written/commented code.

One question – If on submit, I wanted to make sure the user has answered all questions (entered answers/hecked checkboxes), which file should I edit to add the validation? survey _action.php??

Thanks a lot.

1. You can ask any kind of questions – you can even use HTML in your questions. I hope that is what you are looking for
2. Plugin outputs CSV – it can be opened in Excel.
