ebolker on "Export to CVS not working."

ebolker — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 21:52:57 +0000

This is an old problem - intermittent. <a href="http://projects.binnyva.com/forum/topic/export_to_csv_stopped_working" rel="nofollow">http://projects.binnyva.com/forum/topic/export_to_csv_stopped_working</a> Sometimes export works for me, sometimes not. It failed just now, upgrading wordpress didn't help. I'm reluctant to upgrade surveys because of my recent comment at <a href="http://projects.binnyva.com/forum/topic/textarea-responses-only-250-characters" rel="nofollow">http://projects.binnyva.com/forum/topic/textarea-responses-only-250-characters</a> <a href="http://projects.binnyva.com/forum/topic/export_to_csv_stopped_working" rel="nofollow">http://projects.binnyva.com/forum/topic/export_to_csv_stopped_working</a>

I had some students look at this. They made the change visible at the end of export.php (code follows). The good news is that it doesn't affect existing surveys. They should have gotten back to Binny about this but didn't ... <pre><code><?php /* Plugin Name: Surveys Plugin URI: <a href="http://www.bin-co.com/tools/wordpress/plugins/surveys/" rel="nofollow">http://www.bin-co.com/tools/wordpress/plugins/surveys/</a> Description: The Surveys WordPress plugin lets you add surveys to your blog.

Getting a page not found when exporting to CVS. Tried uploading all new files to no avail. Works on my localhost, but not my web server. Any ideas?

There is a great program to EDIT and CREATE both .mo and .po files for your language called *Poedit*, you can download it here <a href="http://www.poedit.net/download.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.poedit.net/download.php</a>. Open the file, make the changes and Save as... It Automatically creates the .mo file. Thx for the plugin!

Edit "surveys/show_survey.php" line 51, change it to $email_body = t("Hi,\nThere is a new result for the survey at %s...\n",get_the_title()); Good luck!

Getting the same error in ie and firefox, wp version 3.2.1, hope we can find a solution. Great plugin!

I get this warning once the voter has pressed Submit. It appears on the page asking for an email address. The votes are still sent through to me though. Warning: sprintf() [function.sprintf]: Too few arguments in /home/thehort1/public_html/wp-content/plugins/surveys/wpframe.php on line 53

Some servers have this issue. I'm looking into it. For now, downgrade your surveys plugin to the old version.

Binny V A on "Creating a new translation"

Binny V A — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 12:32:03 +0000

When creating a translation, put it in the lang folder with the name 'surveys-fr_FR.mo'(language names will differ). It should work. Also, send a copy of the files to me(binnyva, gmail) and I'll add it to the plugin.

llummus on "multiple text entries"

llummus — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 23:22:48 +0000

I'm trying to make a question that asks: How many adults and how many children in each age range are in your household? Answers: Adults: Children 0-3: Children 4-6: Children 7-12: Children 13-17: I want each of the answers to have a text box instead of a checkbox. I also want the user to be able to answer multiple questions. I've played around with the different settings and can't figure out how to make this possible.

Same problem with a french translation I made. file names fr_FR.mo and fr_FR.po I tried putting them in the lang folder and at the root plugin folder, still in english...

llummus — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 03:19:27 +0000

I have 4 answers for a question, but it is automatically including a 5th blank answer with a checkbox. The main page of the survey confirms that I have four answers. Any suggestions?

swcomm on "IE 8 Page Background not displaying"

swcomm — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 06:33:11 +0000

This is very strange. Recently upgraded to wp 3.2.1. Surveys work fine, except the page with the survey inserted via shortcode doesn't display the page background in IE 8. Has to be a z-index issue, because the background is there, it's just covered up with solid white. Once you submit the survey question responses and get to the name/email portion, the background starts displaying correctly. I'm not entirely sure which php file in the survey plugin to look at for this -- can you advise? Thanks.

Binny V A on "image not displaying in question"

Binny V A — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 19:54:56 +0000

It works on most servers. But I have had people telling me it don't work on some. Will look into it. I think its a magic_quotes issue.

cnghiem on "image not displaying in question"

cnghiem — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 03:31:52 +0000

When we insert an image to our question, it does not display when viewing the survey. Instead we get slashes displayed when taking the survey: \"\" We insert the image by clicking on the image icon at the top and then inserting it to the post. Do you know how we can solve this?

madopr on "Creating a new translation"

madopr — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 16:54:37 +0000

I've got the same problem here. I've tried to modify the default.po file with PoEdit, changed the file names to "surveys-es-ES.po/.mo" and just "es-ES.po/.mo"; but nothing worked. Is there any solution to this or should I search all texts in the php files and change it manually?

Great plugin (so far) I too want to remove the 'submit survey' button from the bottom of every page. Any idea how to do this?

Hmm it's taking me more thime than i thought... the result goes way farther than the original plugin and i'm thinking about releasing it as a new plugin. Would that bother you BinnyVA ?

Thanks a lot for your help. Do share your work here after you are done. I'll try and add your code to the plugin :-)

Hi, First of all i want to give thanks to Binnyva for his opensource work that i deeply apreciate. I'm studiing this plugin as i need a good/free survey plugin for more than one of my projects. I've been trying many other plugins but they ask money or show add during the survey and i definitly dont want any of those solutions. This one is one of the best survey free plugins i've found for wordpress, and it proves that procedural developement can be as good in term of results as oriented object (sometimes even better). Next step i'm going to do is to solve the main problems this plugin still has: 1. It doesnt check the answerquestion's quality given by visitors. 2. It doesn't have a mandatory option on questions. 3. It doesn't have an anti spam system. There is a "bug" on the script.js, on the function nextQuestion() the line [code] if(survey_questions_per_page != 0) return nextPage(e); // Multi question per page [/code] is executed before testing if there was any question answered on the survey, so it skip that js test and go forward to the next survey page. To correct that this line has to be moved after to the end of the function. Even with this correction, the user (who maybe doesnt have js activated) should be forced to answer some/all questions before skipping to next page or to submit the form. I will expend sometime to correct some of those problems and submit my version of this plugin shortly. If you want to contribute/give ideas to solve some of the problems i'm talking about here, please contact me!

You are looking at the wrong table. The answers are stored in the wp_surveys_answer table.

This may be where my inexperience with databases shows up, but I went in through phpMyAdmin and I don't see an option to change either the type or value of the field to either TEXT or MEDIUMTEXT. What am I missing? Thanks a lot.

Binny V A on "textarea responses... only 250 characters"

Binny V A — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 11:09:49 +0000

Edit the database and change that field to TEXT or MEDIUMTEXT. That should do the trick.

mediaslinger on "textarea responses... only 250 characters"

mediaslinger — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 06:22:28 +0000

I found this in line 77 of surveys.php: answer varchar(255) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci NOT NULL, I know varchar has to do with a character set of a particular length, but that's about as far as my knowledge goes. I tried changing 255 (it also appears on line 106) to a higher number, but it didn't affect the length of the character set in either the wordpress display or the email. Anyone out there who knows their database code that could maybe solve this? Thanks.

Its possible - but there is a bit of coding involved.
