Hi All,
One of the features I needed phpesp to have was the ability of
adding descriptive text in a survey without having it
be a question. I've also noticed that this has also appeared in
the feature requests so I decided to do this myself.
Here are the steps.
1. log into the phpesp database and issue the following sql
statement:
" insert into question_type
values(11,'Statement','N','response_text'); "
2. now edit the /admin/include/function/survey_render.inc file.
A:/
go to line 85.
the original line (version 1.5) is:
<?php if($question['required']=='Y') {
echo('<font color="#FF0000">*</font>'); } ?><A NAME="Q<?php echo($i);
?>"><?php echo($i); ?>.</A>
change this line to:
<?php if($question['required']=='Y') { echo('<font
color="#FF0000">*</font>'); } ?>
and then add the following line 4 lines:
<?php
if ($tid != '11')
echo ("<A NAME=\"Q($i)\">($i).</A>");
?>
This ensures that the Statement does not have a Question
number displayed next to it.
B:/
The next step is to find the following line:
<td valign="TOP" aligh="LEFT"> - this should be line 87
in the original file or line 91 if you've added the above code.
change it to:
<td valign="TOP" aligh="LEFT" width="95%">
This will prevent large descriptive text or statements
from messing up the formatting of your survey.
and that is all..
Simply create or edit a survey, go to the Question tab
where you will notice the new item "Statement" in the New Field's
type dropdown list and enter your statement in the
Text's text field.
There can not be any possible answers to this statement
so you do not need to fill in the rest of the fields in the Question
tab page.
Enjoy !
