[Plugin: WP Survey And Quiz Tool] Few Questions & Suggestions

Not sure if this debug message comes from WPSQT,

[27-Oct-2011 13:47:35] PHP Notice: has_cap was called with an argument that is <strong>deprecated</strong> since version 2.0! Usage of user levels by plugins and themes is deprecated. Use roles and capabilities instead. in /var/www/html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3466

Seems to be working, maybe my mouse scroll changed it off Agree / Disagree or something.

I get the following for Agree/Disagree:

Strongly Disagree, Disagree, Meh, Agree, Strongly Agree.

Can these values be defined by some sort of option? The site I’m using this on is an intranet site and Meh isn’t suitable for the audience ??

Cheers,
Rab

Okay good. Yeah this will be added as an option. Till then you can change it pages/site/questions/likert.php and just change the label values. Don’t change the option that has the id of meh, that would break everything and it doesn’t show anyway.

Also note that the results graph will still show the original labels, again this will be fixed when I incorporate it as an option.

Cool, that’s perfect. Thanks. Perhaps a way of working it would be to have fields like you get for the Multiple Choice, however, this effectively turns it into a Multiple Choice question, but displayed in radio buttons.

Is it possible to assign the Likert Radio Buttons so they can be modified with custom CSS? A personal preference of mine would be to have the radio buttons in a block. So for example, I could add the following to my themes CSS:

span.wpsqt-likert-list{ display: block; }

Again you can see my flaws with the layout, I just leave it how it comes out -.-

I’ll hook something up with all the question types, so multiple and single as well.

Heh, no problem. You have the base of something great – couple of little tweaks and it’ll be perfect! I have OCD when it comes to little things like this… ??

Included most of your layout points, and they have been sent to the github repo.

Each input/label of a likert answer is inside a span.wpsqt_likert_answer.
Multiple questions now have .wpsqt_multiple_question applied to the ul.
Breaks have been added after all question types.
‘Meh’ option is now renamed to ‘No Opinion’.

Hope this allows you to create a better layout and retain your professionalism (no ‘meh’ ?? ).

Ollie

Perfect, will try out on Monday when I’m back in work ??

Cheers,
Rab

Ollie,
You said:

Not sure what you mean by scoring as there is no sense in scoring surveys.

I’d like to use the plugin for tests in which
– there’s no right or wrong answer
– questions have multiple-choice answers, and each potential answer has a score

For instance, a personal-hygiene test has 20 questions. One of the questions is:
Question: When you approach people at a party, do they:
(1) Gag and run away? (0 points)
(2) Smile thinly but hold their breath (1 point)
(3) Shake your hand but ostentatiously wipe down afterwards (2 points)
(4) Act normal (3 points)
(5) Smile seductively and remove an article of clothing (4 points)

I’d like to be able to specify the points scores in brackets above for each multiple-choice answer, and then have the test produce a total score at the end. The scoring might mean:
– Under 20: Take a bath, man
– 20-40: Change your deodorant
– 40-60: You’re doing fine
– 60 or more: You must be buying the right perfume

Timkil, wouldn’t/couldn’t that be achieved through a Quiz?

I’m enthusiastic about the use of this plug in for research. I need however to be able to:

1. Download results, Excel or similar format?
2. Display the results publicly as an option for the survey, quiz or poll.

Rab, I thought a quiz has only one ‘correct’ answer from a multiple choice, and that therefore all answers except that one score zero while the correct one scores one point.

Am I wrong on that?

Timkil, a question in a quiz can have multiple correct answers however each correct answer will score the same amount of points. Different points for each answer is something that needs to be implemented, so it will be done soon.

Nursek,
1. This isn’t currently possible but I’m looking into it.
2. Also something I’m looking into. You can currently display poll results after a user has taken the poll, but not survey or quizzes.

Nursek, you can now display results of a survey on a page with the shortcode [wpsqt_survey_results name="survey name"].

This has been added with the latest version on the GitHub repo https://github.com/fubralimited/WP-Survey-And-Quiz-Tool/zipball/master.

You can either download it from there or wait until the official version is released later today.

Hello Ollie!!! Great work!!!!!

I, as Timkil, am looking forward a way to have different points for each answer… this would the most important add for me.

Keep up the good work

Much appreciated Ollie, thank you so much,
K
