Hi Andreas,
I decided to start a new discussion on this since the other one is getting sooooo long.
I absolutely love this module. I have a couple of quick questions for you.
1.
Sometimes I do not want my items automatically numbered. Can you tell
me where the code is for the automatic numbering (1.), 2.)...) is so I
can comment it out?
2. Also, this is really no big deal, but in
the U.S. we use decimal points instead of commas. Can you tell me
where the code is so I can change, for example, 50,00% so it looks like
50.00%?
THANKS
Hi Chardelle,
thank you for your suggestions.
The numbering isn't really perfect. There are several places what have to do changed. I planned the more structured numbering for future versions. Then i also will add a switch to hide/unhide numbers.
The problem with decimal points i have fixed. You now will find two more entries at the language-file:
$string['separator_decimal'] = '.';
$string['separator_thousand'] = ',';
So you can set your own separators.
In this regard i also added the printing out usernames in excel if they are non anonymously.
Here is the current download.

Great Andreas,
That's great Andreas, is the separator dependent on the language that is set--I guess that's really how it should work.
I'll try the new install--sounds like you are getting just about everything covered to make this a fantastic module. I mentioned to Martin that he should consider eventually replacing the survey mod with your mod with the current surveys included as templates.

Hi Andreas
First in german:
Andreas in der mod.html hat sich ein kleiner Fehler eingeschlichen. In Zeile 34 (bei meiner Editor) steht, was zu einem Ausgabefehler führt:
<td align=right valign=top><p><b><?php print_string("publish_stats_on_students", "feedback") ?>:</b></p></td>
Change it to:
<td align=right valign=top><p><b><?php print_string("feedback") ?>:</b></p></td>
Now in english
In the mod.html u must correct line 34 see up, i attach the file!

Hi Andreas
This was the first thing i have done, but i didn´t solve the print_error. Only (on my system) to modify the mod.hmtl brings me the solution. When i play back the modificated mod.html shows me the right description (Rückmeldung)! I have download the latest package from this thread. Anyway Andreas, your module is fantastic.

Hi again Andreas,
Do you have any plans to add an item type that would be similar to the type of questions that are in the survey mod? For example, the items could be put into scales (like categories) for analysis, and the items are rated on a scale like, disagree, agree, etc. This would be fantastic.

Hi Chardelle,
i have some difficulties with the philosophy of the current survey-mod.
The questions i could realise with templates. But the special analysis i don't really understand. Perhaps it is possible to use the original analysis for this special kind of questions sets. So i could branch the analysis by using only this feedbacks.
If questions of old survey-templates -> jump to old survey-analysis
if other questions -> jump to standard analysis
What do you think?

Yes, the survey mod code is really funky--and based too much on the lang file. If what you suggest is possible, that might work just fine.
What I was thinking is to have a new item type, a ranking, where you could give a ranking and a label to each radio button for each question you want to ask. For example, never = 0, sometimes = 1, etc. (this is similar to a mutliple choice question in the quiz). Then it would be great if you could group questions into scales (categories) like the survey mod does. Then those answers are summed (or averaged) for each scale for analysis. This is basically what the survey mod does--the numerical answers (1,2,3,4,5) are listed individually in the Excel output, and then it gives a nice graphical representation of it online (but with no numbers)--so really, this analysis isn't as good as the feedback mod. But you are right, this type of item would take an entirely different type of analysis that the feedback currently does.

Fantastic Andreas,
A couple of very minor things.
1. The username is not being output to the Excel detailed report.
2. If the average is 0, nothing shows up in the average field in analysis.php, however the 0 did show up in the Excel report.
Look for an email from me.

Hi Chardelle,
on my installation usernames are shown in excel. Do you use non anonymous feedback?
The current download fixed the problem with an average of "0".

I looked for an email but i didn't get anything. Perhaps i deleted it by mistake.

Now, I'm wondering whether it would be too difficult to add another rating element besides the one with radio buttons. See, I was thinking about an activity where my students have to rate different resources with points going from 1 to 10. Using the radio buttons this gets to be too cumbersome because you have to create 10 different labels for 10 different ratings (1 point, 2 points, 3 points, etc. ). If you have, as in my case, more than 5 different resources to rate, then the feedback form gets to be too long. What I had in mind was a little free text form entry next to the label where the user can introduce a number instead of clicking a radio button. This would save a lot of space since you would not have to create a label for every rating. This would allow you to create little surveys of the following type:
1. Rate the following items (1 to 10 points with 10 being "very satisfactory" and 1 being "very insatisfactory")
1. [___] Item Y
2. [___] Item X
2. [___] Item Z
If that is not too difficult to implement, I think it would be a great improvement of this great little module you have created.

What is does the 'Multiple submit' option do?

Hi Josep,
the option "Multiple submit" is meaning the feedback is repeatable by the students.
Sorry, I'm not so good in english.

.Andreas
OK, that means that if they change their mind about a particular answer they can go back and change it, right?
Josep M.
Josep M.
For a nonanonymous quiz this multiple submit means that a user can go back and take the feedback again. They won't be shown their old answers but their new answers will replace the old ones.
For anonymous mode it means they can do the poll infinite times and each time they do it will add to the overall pool of answers to be analysed.
Guests are only allowed to submit answers to an anonymous poll. If multiple submit is not on then only the first guest is allowed to submit an answer. IMO unless multiple submit is on then it would make more sense to not allow any guests to submit their answers. Their should be no difference between the first person who tries the activity as a guest and the next person.

New en lang pack for feedback module - for your consideration
by Jamie Pratt -
Hi,
I attach a new en language pack for everyone's consideration (particularly Andreas's
) .
There were some mistakes in the English in the previous lang pack which I've corrected. I've also used different language all together in a lot of places. For example I've used 'questions' instead of 'items', 'responses' instead of 'values'. I tried to make the language a little more user freindly. Probably the result could be improved on some more.
I also suggest a change in edit.php at line 127 change :
echo '<option value="'.$fn.'">'.$fn."</option>\n";
to :
echo '<option value="'.$fn.'">'.get_string($fn,'feedback')."</option>\n";
So that the names of the question types as shown in the drop down box can be controlled in the lang packs. I added some strings to the attached lang pack to do this.

Re: New en lang pack for feedback module - for your consideration

Here is an updated version of this lang pack. I renamed it en_utf8 to work on 1.6 (rename it en for older Moodle versions) and I added the latest strings needed for the rated item types.
By the way there is no need to move lang pack from moodleroot/mod/feedback/lang to moodleroot/lang/ as per installation instructions. Moodle looks for lang packs in the module directory also.

Also, the module did not work correctly with one moodle site. It is a rather problematic host, I suspect that the used version of PHP 5.0.4 is not particularly suitable. There, I keep getting errors concerning incorrect paths using require_once function and have to specify path more explicitly. With this module, several changes in feedback/lib.php were needed:

Hi Miroslav,
I just had the same problem with quiz-modul showing the tabs on report.
A possible reason of this behavior could be the include_path setting in php.ini.
Check the value. There have to be a value like ".:/usr/share/php". The . means the current directory. So you can include relative pathes.
best regards

I think where you've called require_login within an if block you may have made a mistake Andreas.
In complete.php and view.php you've got code like this :
if($feedback->anonymous != feedback_ANONYMOUS_YES) {
require_login($course->id);
}
It is standard for Moodle activities to not let a guest user into an activity at all if a course doesn't allow guest access. This code will let anyone view the activity whatever the course access settings when the feedback is set to anonymous. You correctly test to see if your user is a guest in complete.php with isguest(); I think require_login which will let in guests if the course settings allow it should be called unconditionally for all pages, this is different from the code needed to deal with guests at the activity level.

Hi Jamie,
it isn't a mistake. On many sites, in my company too, are the global option "autologin guest" disabled. Nevertheless we want feedbacks on the start page of moodle. There the feedback should be useable without any login-procedure. Perhaps I should in addition to the anonymous-option create an other option in the feedback-configuration. So you could switch external access on/off.
What do you think?

Hi Andreas,
So you don't want users to be sent to the login page and have to press the log in as a guest button.
What about doing something like this :
So you don't want users to be sent to the login page and have to press the log in as a guest button.
What about doing something like this :
if($feedback->anonymous == feedback_ANONYMOUS_YES) {
$CFG->autologinguests=true;
}
require_login($course->id);
$CFG->autologinguests=true;
}
require_login($course->id);
if($feedback->anonymous == feedback_ANONYMOUS_YES && $course->id==SITEID) {
$CFG->autologinguests=true;
}
require_login($course->id);
$CFG->autologinguests=true;
}
require_login($course->id);
But I guess it might not be desirable to log users in as guests as then they won't be asked later to log in when they enter a course which has guest access.
I think that there should definitely be a switch to enable this bypassing the login system and that it should be set to off by default.
I think the best option would be to take out the bypassing the log in system.

The advantage of :
if($feedback->anonymous != feedback_ANONYMOUS_YES) {
require_login($course->id);
} else {
require_course_login($course);
}
Is that it will let anyone into activities on the front page that are anonymous but will not allow people into activities inside courses and also importantly into any activity when forcelogin is on.

OK, this clarifies things. The problem I was having is that a student told me that she couldn't access the feedback. I noticed that she had answered a question already. I assume she had left before finishing the survey and then she wasn't allowed in again.

Hi Andreas,
I noticed that the feedback activity is not shown in the site logs correctly:
If I go to /course/log.php?id=1 , and I pick one of my courses (or my site), all participants, all days, all activities in the dropdowns, I can see every user that has viewed or submitted a feedback form: it says "feedback view" or "feedback submit" in the column "Action", and the name of the form in the column "Information". Only the actions of the students are shown, not the actions of the moderators
If I pick one of my courses (or my site), all participants, all days, a feedbackformtitle all I get are the feedback activities of the moderators ("feedback add", "feedback update"), not the students.
I am puzzled

Hi Marion,
thank you for this information. I neglected the logging as yet. If I have a bit more time I will change this.

I don't see how the gradebook can talk to the Feedback Module. So are you able to get Feedback Module surveys to show up in the Gradebook? If so, how?
Finally, I want to go into the gradebook and specify that a Feedback Module survey counts, but don't see any way of setting a "grade" for it. In other words, I want to give students credit for completing the survey. Possible?
Cheers,
Peter

Hi Peter,
there isn't any plan doing this.

Andreas-
I have been using your module since day 1 of its release. It is great. I do have a question though. Are there any plans on making it easier to re-order questions in a long feedback? In a perfect world a department would do this before drafting a feedback. However, it never seems to work that way in ours. Just trying, hoping, to find an easier way to re-order questions. Thanks.

Had to a similar problem recently, and to avoid the pain of step-by-step moving I edited the database entries directly. A direct move-to facility would be a very useful addition to an already convenient program...
Hi Sean,
a easier way to reorder questions is already in my todo-list. With the current I'm not satisfied too.

I was hoping you would say that. I went ahead and edited the table directly from the dbase last night. I was just thinking of others in my unit who I would not want to allow db editing. Again... great module. We use it all the time for professional development session surveys. I like it over phpESP, which is a great tool but not as user friendly to beginner users. It helps me not become the only one that can create surveys in my dept.
Hi Andreas-
I agree with the crowd here - this is a great module. My college is using it for the cross-college questionnaire this year, and we expect hundreds of respondents. My question is: How can I export results which include textArea fields to Excel without the field type defaulting to 'general' and truncating at 255 characters?
Thanks!
Hi Cori,
currently there is no way. The limit of 255 charcters is given by the excel-library.
In the next time I will include csv-export into the feedback-module.

About reordering, another alternative would be to make adding new questions work like the book module, where you choose where to insert them from the outset. I really like this feature and wish it were available in more places in Moodle.
Hi Andreas,
In one of my feedbacks, I had a question that was linked to an event on the first of May. So after that date, I had to delete this question, since it was out of date. So I did, but I did not expect all the answers to this question to be deleted also. Are they really lost or are the answers still in the database somewhere?
regards Marion
Hi Marion,
if you delete a question all linked answers are deleted too.
If you don't have a backup the data are lost.
Before you can delete an object you have to confirm a message (look at the screenshot).

Thought I'd post here to say that the Feedback module activity is now fully accessible by Japanese mobile phones. As part of the Moodle For Mobiles project we've made a parrallel interface to the Feedback module so that students can either do the activity on their phones or on a normal browser. The idea is that the module can be used to collect real time feedback from students in large lecture classes and the results displayed on a projector screen for the whole class to see.
The Moodle for Mobiles code was used to collect feedback during the recent Japanese Association of Language Teachers Computer Aided Language Learning special interest group conference in Sapporo. You can see the site for the conference here http://ept3.sgu.ac.jp The site is also accessible through a phone that can display chtml (imode compatible phones).

Thank you!
I have mobilized my moodle at last.
Or it is getting that way.

I have a couple of questions about the feedback module.
Is the Feedback module Japanese language compatible? I seem to get a lot of question marks when I try to enter Japanese questions.
When I make an English language question in a poll and try to attempt it, I see the "Edit questions" link but not the questions itself even when I am in student view mode. Is the feedback module compatible with "Student view" mode in 1.6 or should I log out and log in as a student?
Tim
Hi Tim,
it seems the feedback works with japanese language. Have a look at Don Hinkelmans posting here.
The "Student view" currently works if you are only a teacher (thank you for this tip). I will fix it. So you can use the "Student view" as administrator too.

Andreas-I upgraded to your latest version of feedback with 1.6 and now I can't create any new multiple choice single answer questions anymore, even though I created them in the old version. I get the following message when I try creating one:
Error occurred in feedback module action handling
Hi,
sorry, I can't reproduce your failure. On what system do you work?
