[phpesp-dev] A question/request for help about modifying a question type

[Rudy de H. <ru...@ed...>]

hi:

I installed 1.8 yesterday morning on Solaris 9 - no problems of any kind and
the thing works quite well. Thanks!

However... there are two things I'd like to change and I don't know how. The 
first one involves adding a question type. Specifically I need something
that looks like this: (if this gets garbled, please let me know and I'll send
you a jpg - basically a scale from -5 to +5, labeled from Disagree Strongly
to Agree Strongly)

Question text blah blah blah

Disgree Strongly                 Neutral                      Agree strongly
_|______|______|______|______|_____|______|______|______|______|______|_

-5     -4     -3     -2     -1     0     +1     +2     +3     +4     +5

The second issue involves formats. I think I see how this is done (create a 
custom template) but I'm hoping someone already has one that works. Right now 
everything is "left handed" i.e. the check boxes appear to the left of the text. 
I'd like that to be right handed with questions left justified on the page and
only the required amount of space between the longest choice and the check boxes 
or whatever form element the question needs. So: 1) is there something I can
steal to do this, and/or 2) is a custom template the right/only option if I have 
to do it myself?
