Hello All, I took some time to code up a new feature I'm describing as Rate Labels. Currently, ratings are just numeric values (1,2,3,4,etc). I've managed to apply a label to each button for each rate response as shown in this test survey: http://surveys.bsdcertification.org/phpESP/public/survey.php?name=BBBB If there is interest, I can write up how I did it. Basically, I added a new table (phpesp_question_choice_ranklabels) and coded up a new layout in admin/include/function/question_render.inc. Unfortunately, I was not able to figure out how to add a new table in the 2.1.2 codebase. I got lost in the XML interface. However, I was able to add it with native MySQL commands. So, I don't have diffs for everything at the moment. If someone can help with that, it would be most appreciated. Best Regards, Jim B. |

What am I missing? Dave |

Try this link (which should stay up for a while): http://surveys.bsdcertification.org/phpESP/public/survey.php?name=test01 As you can see, each question is a rate question. The options, "Importance" and "Frequency" each have their own rate label. Our psychometrician wanted these particular labels, so that's how they came to be worded that way. If you are interested in this technique, let me know and I'll provide some guidance on getting it working. The code that does this is not in the distributed codebase, but I can probably help you get something working. Cheers, Jim B. |

If you could work with Franky to get this merged upstream, you'd be doing a lot of people a favor. If this won't take too long, I'll wait for that. Dave |

If you want to share the rest, just mail it to me, or log it as a patch on sourceforge so I can review it. Franky |

Greetings -- Social psychologists have become more exacting about the use of Likert scales and require that each number be labeled in full, as in: Strongly Disagree | Somewhat Disagree | Undecided | Somewhat Agree | Strongly Agree With that much text, however, the "Rate" field type generates radio buttons that are spaced too closely together; the cell width is fixed at 40. Is there a way to modify the cell width? Cheers, Dave |

In some surveys, information is presented a few pages into the survey that may make subjects alter their earlier responses on previous pages. Is there a way to hide the Back button to discourage this? Cheers, Dave |

Choose the "Change Access to a Survey" link from the management interface to see these settings. Cheers, Jim B. |

Jim's psychometrician wanted the labels, and so do I -- it's becoming a requirement. So please merge; it's a very useful feature. Dave |

I've created a sourceforge account and will (try to!) create a unified diff for these and upload as a patch set. (See my email of July 12 for details.) This is also a feature request - SF 2072351 (skarpluk). Cheers, Jim B. jimbysf - Source Forge ID |

It's not ready for prime time. You can probably get it working but it requires a database change from the 2.1.2 (and 2.1.3) sources. The README.txt file in the gzipped tarball has all the info.
