We reach holiday season with big releases

The new, major version of Comparison Chart was released today. Welcome Comparison Chart 2.0.2 compatible with both Joomla 1.5 and 1.7! This new version is completely rewritten and gives a long step forward in improving your site visitors browsing experience.

The new version has got the following fixes and options:

• added the option to set the width of the main column (column with properties description)
• some changes in the interface to facilitate charts management
• fixed the plugins

Ongoing subscribers may find the new version in the members area. The subscription can be prolonged there as well.

Please take a minute to look at new features we’ve implemented in our Joomla! components and are planning to do in the next couple of months:

SURVEY FORCE DELUXE

• since version 2.2.1 the component supports content plugins which means that now content which is shown with our survey is handled by all content plugins (and this allows to use all built-in Joomla features)
• version 2.2.1 also contains a content plugin for the survey component which means that now you can insert surveys right into your content articles (to do that you’ll need to install the plugin and publish it, next go to the article and insert a tag {surveyforce id=1} where 1 is the id of the survey which can be looked up in the survey management section)

For the next release we plan to add ‘assessments’ for surveys which represent the extended rules feature, i.e. these rules will allow to evaluate the answers to a survey right after it’s submitted and display the feedback to respondent based on this evaluation.

Imagine like you ask a set of questions about a user’s skills and interests, and depending on the answers there are 3 variants of the job you’d suggest he’ll be best at, so a survey will show one of 3 variants that suits the user based on what he answered.
