Hi Guys,

If it's OK with all I'd like to get this one off the ground.

I tried to incorporate a tree structure into the new GUI but it 
simply did not work.
In design terms it left a hell of a lot of real estate empty.

I'll have a look at this for the new gui but can't promise that 
it'll be a tree structure as I don't believe such structures 
should be used as main navigation menus.

yes and no, the only thing that has to be stable is the directory layout of
phpESP. As long as it is like
.../phpESP  <= here is the new config file
             /admin
             /handler
             /survey
you have no problem with my changes. These assume that the three directories
are one level lower than the root installation directory. The advantage of
my changes is that you only have to specify the installation directory _once_
- in the new config file. In the "normal" 1.4 version I had to change four
(?) files.
An added plus is that you can easier switch between a local and a web
installation of phpESP, in case you are constantly modifying the software according
to your needs.
You change on the local system, then comment out one line in the new config
file and now you can upload the changes (once the data base access infos are
also defined two times - local and web).

Great! Could my "old" version of PHP (4.0.5) also be a cause for the strange
effects with gettext?

Re: [phpesp-dev] few modifications for easier install

[James E. F. <jf...@ac...>]

Well, it has been proposed quite a few times to make the
install easier in the way you propose ... But I don't see
that it is any different. Isn't it now necessary to make
sure each component (admin, handler, survey) has the path
to the "phpESP.local.ini.php"? Basically there are two
options, install in a fixed location (lib/php/contrib as I
suggest), or change things so that it is always a relative
install (similar to horde). I think in the future, phpESP
will take a similar approach to horde, and use all relative
paths, but this reduces the flexibility of the logical
layout of your website. Of course, failing to find the INI
using relative paths, the scripts could be made to fall
back to a "pathless" include(), allowing for placing the
phpESP.ini somewhere in the php include_path ...

I think you'll find the gettext detection and loading much
more windows compatible in version 1.5. You can always
place a "<br>" or "<p>&nbsp;</p>" at the end of you section
text if you need more spacing. I believe that behavior is
better than extra spacing due to whitespace in the textarea
box. Please try v1.5, the first release canidate will be
out this week.

[phpesp-dev] few modifications for easier install

[<mic...@gm...>]

Hello,
I've modified a few things, see below. Perhaps someone of the core
developers integrates some of it in the main branch.
Regards+Thanks for this great software
Michael Städler
-------------
ma...@mi...
modified: phpESP version 1.4, May 2002

Changes on 22.09.2002:

* easier installation: installation directory and other vars have been
placed in a new config file, phpESP.local.ini.php. Now you can also easier switch
between a local install and a web install, in case you are modifying phpESP.
* phpESP.ini has been renamed to phpESP.ini.php for security purposes. Now
you can put this file to the "normal" ESP directory and it isn't readable even
if one tries to access the file directly with his browser. I know this isn't
the optimum, but it is easy to use and at least you can alternatively make a
"securer" installation like now.

NECESSARY CHANGES FOR THAT:
Changes in admin/phpESP.ini.php:
 - added line on top: require_once "../phpESP.local.ini.php";  
 - line 13 changed: $locale_path = "$install_dir/locale";  
 - line 61 changed: 'include_path' => "$install_dir/admin/include/",
Changes in admin/manage.php:
 - added line on top: require_once "../phpESP.local.ini.php"; 
 - line 12 changed: $CONFIG = "$install_dir/admin/phpESP.ini.php";  
Changes in public/handler.php:
 - line 17: require("$install_dir/admin/phpESP.ini.php"); 
Changes in public/handler-prefix.php:
 - line 45: require("$install_dir/admin/phpESP.ini.php"); 
Changes in public/survey.php:
 - line 3: require("$install_dir/admin/phpESP.ini.php");  
----------------------
deleted line 13 in phpESP.ini.php ($lang = ..) => put this into the new ini
file
contents of file phpESP.local.ini.php:
<?php
// comment this out when running on a web server
$exec_mode = "local";

if ($exec_mode == "local") {
    $install_dir = "d:/dwww/phpESP";
} else {
    $install_dir = "/www/<useraccount>/<userdomain>/phpESP";
}
// the database infos should also be put in here!

// language selection
$lang = 'de';  // or en or ..
?>
----------------------
Workaround for a problem with gettext on my Windows system (phpESP doesn't
work):
phpESP.ini.php:
 - problem with gettext on my windows system (phpESP doesn't work):
commented out line 21 - 42
 - new line 43: if(!extension_loaded('gettext') && !defined('_GETTEXT')) {  
   => thus the wrapper is always active, now all is in english, but better
than nothing..

----------------------
BUGS:
- behind section text should always be put an empty line (in the survey).
Empty lines at bottom of section text should not be thrown out automatically

[phpesp-dev] individual results!

[James E. F. <jf...@ac...>]

Thanks to Kon, there is preliminary support for individual
results. Please test this. I think it would be even better
if when the results are displayed, there is some method to
navigate between responses. A dropdown (similar to the main
results selector page), or Prev/Next buttons (or both)
would be a good idea ... any takers on implementing this?

v1.5-RC1 is delayed until Monday now, pending a few GUI
patches from Kon, so get any changes in asap.

Take it easy,
-James

Initial Comment:
could you make an individual results page for the 
answers of every respondent not just the summary of 
results page... 

the page would have some sort of a form that asks for 
the respondent_id of that certain survey then when 
submitted it returns all the data into the page 
together with the questions(or just question_id 
numbers) and the answers from all the tables
(answers_bool, answers_text etc.) used in that 
survey...

thanks!

this individual data could possibly be temporary, with an 
experation, prior to be compiled into the aggregate data for 
that survey.  But to be the most useful for doing individual 
assessment/profiling this feature should be incorporated into 
the database so that individuals can see their survey data as 
well as seeing survey data from others that may have been 
submitted against their name.

Do you want me to wait to release v1.5 Release Canidate 1
until this is in? I think everything is ready for RC1, but
that would mean that your GUI stuff won't be in v1.5.

Hi Guys,

I know you've all been patient with the new GUI release.
As I've mentioned in previous posts I've got a couple of days of work left on 
it and it will be available. I just need to find a couple of full days to 
finish coding and testing and at the moment my fulltime job is consuming all 
my time. Not commiting to a date but can say that it should be available 
within a fortnight.

statements and I did that already and worked fine, but this is only usefull for
one-time evaluation not for automatic human assessment feedbacks.. this means :
as a user you can login, run your survey, and get your individual responses
automatic and you can come back and observe your progress again and again...
that´s what we are planning to use phpESP for.. ;-)
However, thanks for your thoughts and I can understand that you are focused
on more urgent issues .
I am excited to try the 1.5 version.
Btw... hows the new front-ent design growing ?

cheers and thanks
Jonas Solo

Summary: individual results for every respondent

Initial Comment:
could you make an individual results page for the 
answers of every respondent not just the summary of 
results page... 

the page would have some sort of a form that asks for 
the respondent_id of that certain survey then when 
submitted it returns all the data into the page 
together with the questions(or just question_id 
numbers) and the answers from all the tables
(answers_bool, answers_text etc.) used in that 
survey...

thanks!

this individual data could possibly be temporary, with an 
experation, prior to be compiled into the aggregate data for 
that survey.  But to be the most useful for doing individual 
assessment/profiling this feature should be incorporated into 
the database so that individuals can see their survey data as 
well as seeing survey data from others that may have been 
submitted against their name.

Initial Comment:
Hello,

I can see a real need for question grouping, not just for 
our needs.  The ability to establish question groups 
within each survey so that those question responses are 
tabulated as a group so that graphing and analysis can 
focus on these specific question groups instead of trying 
to extrapolate this data from individual question 
responses.

Do you mean that you need to be able to view individual
responses (rather than aggregate data)? It is possible to
get that information from the phpesp database. It is not an
option though the GUI at this time though. Someone with a
decent knowlege of relational databases should be able to
show you how to get the information you desire. I don't
have the time to add that feature now, though.

I've been trying to adapt the Yes/No question to work 
with True/False questions, but it's obviously not what it 
was designed for.

Another boolean type for True/False (using the same 
type of radio buttons as does Yes/No) would be great.

Thank you.

Use a radio button type with two options "True" and "False".

Summary: Project Overview

Initial Comment:
There should be a managers screen somewhere which doesn't 
just show which projects are alive, but how many interviews 
collected in the surveys etc. to get a brief overview of the surveys 
which are active.

Possibly you should be able to check in 
when you configure a new survey what your target is (number of 
interviews to conduct). Then you could have the surveys coloured 
yellow as not started, green as active and red as finished 
perhaps.

Surveys should be reported one line for each so 
you could get a simple printout for the entire day.

The row 
ought to contain

ID/Name/Conducted interviews/Target 
to reach/Starting date/deadline/response rate 
(Conducted/Target).

What can I respond to that? Examples have been popular before, so let 
me pick another one!

Let's say I run a news website for beos (don't 
we all love that OS by the way). I have structured my visitors into different 
groups, developers, ordinary users, other news sites etc.

On a 
regular basis I conduct small surveys with each of the groups on different 
matters, such as the news themselves, new products on the market and 
their opinions, feature requests in the future wanted 
etc.

Suddenly I have 6-7 surveys active where I want at least 500 
answers in each to make any good assumptions out of 
it.

Unfortunately, I also have a lack of time so I would prefer just to 
get a quick overview of the progress rather than click through every and 
each one of them....

How do I get that?

Sounds 
reasonable?

I get the feeling that you may have a specific need to be able 
to monitor/record interview processing/progress online. 
phpESP is a "general" purpose survey tool which can be used 
for many explicit purposes. It's its "generic" nature that 
provides such versitility; to incorporate such detailed 
features will, in my opinion, take away from phpESPs true 
purpose.

Summary: Control questions / remove items

Initial Comment:
in many surveys you'd like to be able to have a list of response 
codes for multiple questions which you want to use in the question 
after. This functionality should be applied.

For 
instance

Q1
Which car brands do you recognise of the 
ones below?

1. Saab
2. Volvo
3. Ford
4. 
BMW
5. None of the above

Q2 *CONTROL 
Q1
Which of these car brands would you consider 
buying?

1. Saab
2. Volvo
3. Ford
4. BMW
5. 
None of the above

In this case, people shouldn't be able to 
buy a car which they don't even know of. Should be added to the 
features. Also you should be able to put in a no control for certain 
items, such as none of the above. Because if they are aware of 2 
brands but wouldn't consider buying one of them, then none of the 
above should be displayed anyway.

version 1.5?

Initial Comment:
the "rate" scale is static with numbers ranging from 1
to n. I would like that to be assignable so I can have
text, for instance. Instead of a scale of "1 -2 -3 - 4
- 5 - N/A", I want to be able to implement a scale
like: "Great - OK - Opinion Free - Not OK - Sucks -
N/A" or anything else (and blank values, especially for
interim points on the scale, would be acceptable).

Yes, logart. That is the problem. One idea is to change the
storage model for the surveys from SQL to XML, which would
make this type of feature possible.

The tough part about doing this is that you would have to
capture both the reponse text value, along with the
numerical value.

Right now, the response_rank table is set up  with all INT
datatypes. There would have to be anther field added to that
table of type VARCHAR or something that would contain the
textual meaning of the answer. You need to capture the text
along with the number in case you change the text values of
the ratings later on. You would then skew the data because,
for example, "1" used to mean good but now "1" is bad. If
you don't save the "good" or "bad" along with each record,
you would never know the numbers represent.

right?

Summary: missing values/radio buttons

Initial Comment:
Hi.  I am running phpESP 1.3.x and have a
question/comment on how it handles missing values.  I
collect a lot of Likert data using radio buttons and
was wondering why the scales are calibrated starting at
0 in the code?  When I look at the CSV it means that I
have to shift everything, which is not that big a deal.
 The problem is that when a person skips an answer it
looks like it is inserting a 0 in the field to indicate
a missig value.  This leads to obvious problems when it
comes to analysis.

I'm sorry if I missed something obvious in the docs.  I
think that this is a great project and just want to
suggest and edge that could be smoothed.

Cheers,

Hi.  I'm planning my life for the net couple of months and I
was wondering if this missing value/radio button issue has
been addresses in the upcoming 1.5?  I saw something about
the use of javascript to validate radio buttons, but am not
sure if this really addresses the issue of where the scale
starts and how missing values are recorded.

Thanks much,

When exporting surveys to csv files get created with
0600 permissions. Two new options should be added to
phpESP.ini: "default_save_path", and
"default_save_umask". The save path should allow macro
expansion for the current username, i.e.
"/usr/home/%s/data".
