JomSocial PLUGIN

Compatible with JomSocial version 1.6 , 1.8
The plugin opens a new opportunity for your JomSocial community when it will now be possible to ask questions anyone about anything you want: the car you want to buy, the opinion on a particular movie, any kind of thing:

JomSocial plugin for SurveyForce

Users can create surveys and ask others stupid or philosophical things like 'Why are women so stupid?' to recommendations and opinion questions, like 'What camera should I choose?' People who have social networks accounts should just love the ability to repond and ask such questions:

Naturally people trust their friends more than strangers. Same thing with Google - it won't tell you what he likes best. The plugin gives a possibility for people to find answers to all their questions in JomSocial.

HELP

How do I create new joomla survey?

At first create a new category for the survey. Choose 'SurveyForceDeluxe->Categories' menu item, press 'New' button, input category name and description (optional). Press the 'Save' button. After that click on new category name to view surveys for that category. Next press the 'New' button to create a new survey and do the following:

  • input name for future survey;
  • input survey description (introductory text to be displayed on first survey page);
  • select background picture for survey;
  • select category for survey;
  • select language;
  • input expiry date for survey;
  • set access rights for survey.
How do I set users' access rights for my joomla survey?

When you create (edit) a survey the following options are available:

  • Public - all users will have access to survey.
  • For Invited Users - only invited users will have access to survey.
  • For Registered Users - only registered users will have access to survey.
I've uploaded new background picture. Why doesn't it appear in background pictures survey list?

To upload a new picture you should press the  button next to pick list and upload a picture in the appeared pop-up window. Then refresh the page where you create (edit) survey so as to refresh pictures list. If you want to download a lot of pictures download them into 'images/surveyforce' folder via FTP.

How do I know whether users like survey questions or not?

You can set 'importance scales' for questions to ascertain user's opinion on the question. To do that go to 'SurveyForceDeluxe->Surveys -> Importance Scales' page, press the 'New' button, input question text (e.g. 'How important is that question for you?'), set answer variants and press the 'Save' button. Then edit the question for which you want to set 'importance scale' and assign created 'importance scale' for that question.

How do I offer users to estimate some list using specified scale?

'Likert Scale' question type is used specially for that. Using 'Likert Scale' you can offer a user to estimate certain list by a specified scale.

The colors of rectangles in 'Drag and Drop' questions don't match my template. How do I change that?

The colours for 'Drag and Drop' question can be changed on the following page 'SurveyForceDeluxe -> Configuration'.

Why is there no link to my site and survey in invitation e-mails?

When you input message text on 'SurveyForceDeluxe -> Manage e-mails' page you should use '#link#' variable that will be automatically replaced with a link to survey for invited users.

How do I filter results on 'Reports' page by users' answers necessary for me?

Filter by users answers becomes available when you're filtering results by surveys. To view it please select a survey from the dropdown list. And there you will see the list for filtering results by answers.

How do I make a link to a survey for public or regisered users?

Go to Main menu and add a component link - choose the Survey component, give the link a name, choose the placement of the menu link and press Save.Then go to 'SurveyForceDeluxe->Configuration->Menu Manager' and assign a survey to the created menu item.

Version 2.2.0
Released [09-March-2009]

  • Added survey templates. The template defines the areas where survey elements will be shown (progress bar, survey's description, control buttons, question's text, answers and so on) and the way they will look (the look can be configured either with the help of the CSS file of the survey, or by modifying javascript where survey elements are generated).
  • To prevent unregistered users from passing the survey over and over again we added ip and/or cookies control. We also added an option where you can set how many times an unregistered user can take the survey (same for registered and invited users).
  • Preview survey option for administrator and authors. You can preview the survey regardless of whether the survey is published or not, whether it has expired or not. The preview procedure is completely similar to taking a survey: you need to answer to questions, the rules you defined work according to your answers, Prev-Next navigation works as well (the only difference is that if the survey ends with the graphic results, then admin answers are not counted).
  • In the settings in the back-end an option for email notifications is added. When a user passes the survey his results are sent to survey's author and/or other users.
  • We've corrected the last page's button name from Next to Submit to make it more understandable.
