Hi,

1 - I just read in one of questions at this forum that Ann said "using the plugin that comes with the survey you can insert a survey into the content article, and describe in content what question types you have there, or describe it in the survey's description"

Could you tell me more about this plugin? Is it only usefull with Joomsocial or its is meant to be used with articles as well? I have enabled it but can`t work out where or how to use it.

2 - Is there a way to reduce the space between the Question and the Answer. Please take a look art this survey and you`ll notice that they`re miles appart.

3 - Which file should I modify in order to have the Next and Back arrows at the botton instead of the top of the page on the template_new?

4 - There seem to be a minor bug with the component? When creating a new question (any type) and hiting Save a message pops up saying "Question must have a text" even though the text/question has been typed. The workaround I found for that is by clicking on "Define View" for the Importance scale and clicking back at the Importance Scale details page before saving my question. Could you guys please take a look at that?

SFD ver 2.2.4

Hi,

1 - The plugin works with articles. To include a survey in an article, you should enter the code with survey's id in the article. E.g., {surveyforce id=6}

2 - If you couldn't reduce the space, we could help you. FTP access is required. You can send it to www.joomplace.com/helpdesk/index.php together with this thread's link.

3 - Try to change the template. "SurveyForce Deluxe" has 2 templates by default. One has the buttons at the bottom, the other - on top.

If you need to change the template you use, you should edit the template file media\surveyforce\ surveyforce_new\template.php

At the beginning there's the function which define layout of survey elements is called "function SF_MainLayout". There's the following part:

<tr> <td id="td_survey_task" width="10%">
{PREV_BUTTON}
</td>
<td align="center" id="sf_error_message" width="80%" align="center">
{ERROR_MESSAGE_TOP}
</td>
<td id="td_survey_task" width="10%">
{START_BUTTON}{NEXT_BUTTON}{FINISH_BUTTON}
</td>
</tr>
<tr> <td id="sf_survey_body" colspan="3" valign="top">
{SURVEY_BODY}
</td> </tr>

The buttons name are
{PREV_BUTTON}{START_BUTTON}{NEXT_BUTTON}{FINISH_BUTTON}
A programmer define their place in the code. You need to replace mentioned part with the following:

<tr> <td id="td_survey_task" width="10%">
<!-- x -->
</td>
<td align="center" id="sf_error_message" width="80%" align="center">
{ERROR_MESSAGE_TOP}
</td>
<td id="td_survey_task" width="10%">
<!-- x -->
</td>
</tr>
<tr> <td id="sf_survey_body" colspan="3" valign="top">
{SURVEY_BODY}
</td> </tr>
<tr> <td id="td_survey_task" width="10%">
{PREV_BUTTON}
</td>
<td align="center" id="sf_error_message" width="80%" align="center"> <!-- x --> </td>
<td id="td_survey_task" width="10%">
{START_BUTTON}{NEXT_BUTTON}{FINISH_BUTTON}
</td>
</tr>

Also you can make the buttons on top and at the bottom, then you should place the tags {PREV_BUTTON}{START_BUTTON} in several places.

4 - What regards to this point, it could be a bug. We'll check it.
