Hi,
I wrote a module that (in my opinion) is a bit easier to use than questionaire (particularly for non experts). The features are similar to this module. I has written this module completely new.
Requirements:
MySQL
moodle 1.4.x
moodle 1.5/1.5.1
The installation is equal to other modules.

Hi Darren,
this module is in english and german language.

HI. I installed your module in v1.5. It installed not problem. I created a template, worked well, but when I went to look at it, I got this:
It appears if you are logged in as admin, or teacher even maybe, you cant take the questionaire. You need to log out and in as a student.
Dave.
Hi Rhonda,
if you are loged in as teacher or admin, you have to click on "Edit elements..." to add or modify items to the Feadback. Only students can fill out the questions.

Yep that seems to be the case. Love this module. Great work!
Andreas - this is fantastic - exactly what i have been looking for!
I have installed it and it seems to be working fine - will do some more testing over the next few days.
I am using activity locking - my students need to submit several pieces of workj before they can finish their topics based course. What woudl be the easiest way for me to integrate this feedback module into activity locking. At the moment it shows up as "users must view" 0 but I want themt o submit, not just view, in order to finish and request their certification. Any ideas?
great job on the module!
Nikki

Hi Nikki,
sorry, my english is not perfect. That's why I dont understand your question. Can you repeat it more detailed? Thanks!

Tell me if the attached annotated screenshot helps at all to understand my first 3 points. As for the 4th point, you might want to take a look at the questionnaire excel output to see what I am talking about.
No problem Andreas. I think I need to change something other than your module - so don't worry.
One other question though. Once the studnet completes the feedback form, where will the information be sent to? Will it go to all teachers for the course? I have my students in groups with one teacher per group. I only want the teacher looking after that student to get the feedback and a copy to admin. Is this possible? I could not see anywhere to modify who gets the feedback.
Thanks, Nikki

At the moment every teacher gets every feedback.
Andreas,
Is the feedback supposed to be emailed directly to the teachers, or simply held on the site to be viewed under Analysis?
I can see it under analysis but am not getting any email notifications when I test it.

Andeas,
Very impressive. I love it.

Andreas-This is great! I think it might be better to incorporate this into the standard Moodle instead of the questionnaire module, since it is much more Moodle like to use, as long as some of the nice features of the questionnaire module are added. You might want to work with Mike Churchward to this as there is material from the questionnaire module that it would be nice to incorporate.
Here are several suggestions I have for you:
1-The questions should be aligned on the left next to their number, rather than right aligned.
2-The student's name should not appear at the top of the feedback when they are answering the questions.
3-There should be a line break between questions.
4-It would be helpful if the Excel file were not simply a repeat of what is on the page, but a student-by-student analysis, as is the case in the questionnaire module.

Hi,
thanks for your suggestions.
thanks for your suggestions.
- I agree, it looks better.
- I'm not shure. If the feedback is anonymous the name does not appear.
- There
is an element called "label". It is easy to make a line break with it.
You can create any labels to seperate or describe questions or group of
questions.
Sorry, Now I understand you. I agree. - The excel-Export creates two worksheets. One as overview (name=<feedbackname>) and one as detailed view (name=detailed). The only thing I found there is no students name listed. Is it what you mean?
If I could create in the same way clusters of the answers on the questions( in a result-form), this would become a very universal module!
For example: if I could bring in things like: score Q1+Q3+Q4 >= 8 then echo "xxx"else echo"yyy" etc
I understand why you would want the name of the respondent to appear in the teacher's view, but the student doesn't need to see their own name when they are filling in the feedback.
Now we have *two* Feedback Modules. 
Here is original Lecture Feedback Module built by Narumi Sekiya for version 1.3. It is a way to collect and colate ideas from large lecture classes. And here its newest version, remade for 1.5 by Tom Robb, and named the Feedback Module.
So we need an agency that regulates the names for modules, blocks, databases, but also language files!!
The change to double the meaning of a string grows every day.... I saw the first clash in essay feedback: different meanings
Naturally part of the documentation project?
Helps also to keep an overview of all these frog modules and blocks..
sorry, I was probably somewhat naive 
.
Is there any suggestion to rename it? It should be an english word but my english is not so good.
Thanks for this tip!

Hi Andreas -
I'm going to take a look at your module today. At present, the questionnaire module is slated to become a standard part of Moodle. The conversion of it to the Moodle database API was just completed. From the screenshots, it looks like you have created a much nicer interface for editing surveys.
Longer term, the plan is to rename the questionnaire module to the existing survey module, and make the survey that is the current survey module into one of the available template surveys.
Other than the interface, are there other features of your module that you feel are an improvement over the questionnaire? It only makes sense that we have one of these.

I really like this new module. It seems more "moodley" (moodle-esque?) than questionnaire.
Here's a couple of things which would make it perfect for us:
1. Could it be used with groups? We run the same course each week so it would be great to see each group's feedback
2. Could we have a respond once/respond many option like the questionnaire module has.
Keep up the great work
Anthony
Hi Anthony,
using groups is not implemented yet. It is planned for next time. The respond once/respond many option is likewise not implemented but I can do this.

Hi Mike,
the main difference is the interface. Some features of questionaire (eg. using groups) are not implemented yet.
Your questionaire are really great but I know teachers, who have difficulties to use these module because they are not experts.

Hi Andreas -
I like the simplicity of the interface as well; I think you've come up with a fairly intuitive way to manage these.
Its been tempting to do a more complete replacement of the questionnaire module, and I think you may have provided some great opportunities. I have already begun stripping out chunks of phpESP anyway.
I've gone through your code, and while I like the way its organized, I think it still needs some effort to get to the same level as phpESP. The nice part about it is, as you say, its done 'Moodly', and therefore easy to pick up.
I think it would be great if we could work on this together, to bring the existing module up to speed - probably with some combination of the two. I would love to be able to create a module that would allow other question types to be created and 'plugged-in'. These plug-ins would allow for different groupings, different analyses and different displays. Additionally, come up with a standard theme structure to make this easier (using Moodle's theme structure).
What's your thoughts?

Hello All!
My "un-asked for" opinion would be this.
It would be great to see both you work together on this project.
Just wondering
. Are you both considering the addition of chart or graph generation of results? [In colors determined by the Questionnaire creator - Yeah! I know I am pushing it here. ]

Hi Mike,
I'm afraid, I don't understand your posting correctly. Is there a way to write simpler sentences. Thank you.
I'm not sure, whether my module should be a replacement of your questionaire-module. My main intention is that everyone it can use intuitively. If there are to many features it quickly becomes unuseable for non experts. Otherwise my feedback-module is not perfect yet.
At the moment I implement the group ability.

Hallo Mike,
I have looked at the code of your questionaire. It seems to be very complexed. I don't know, whether I can help you to bring our both modules together. My module is much simpler than your module. What you had visualized how we can work together. I think like you it would be nice if we could work together. It is a very good way to increase my know-how on programming. (And perhaps my english will be better)

I think the thing about this new module that I really like is the interface for creating the survey. You see immediately what it looks like, you can move questions up and down, adding various answers is very easy, just hit return between options. The ability to insert labels is nice too.
Hello Andreas,
Thank you for a fine module.
I run Moodle 1.4.4, MySQL 4.0.20 and php 4.3.10. Everything works fine except the analysis. I get this error message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: bcmod() in /home/customers/xxx/public_html/moodle/mod/feedback/item/radio/lib.php on line 75
Any ideas how to solve the problem?
Have you plans to upgrade the module to work with 1.5.2?
Regards
Ari

Hi Ari,
the bcmod()-function is a standard mathematical function of php. It should be present at all current php-versions since php 4.0.4.
I can make a check for this function. If it is not present I use an alternative.
The feedback-module works under 1.5.2.

Andreas,
Have just tested the new version and the group functionality does not appear to be working. I had expected that when a student completed a feedback form, only the teacher in their group could view it. Is that right?
I set up a course using the feedback form with one student, one editing teacher and two non editing teachers. All the teachers could view the form even when the student was in a group with only one of the non editing teachers.
Does this make sense?
What is odd, is the dates of the files in the zip file you listed as the new version are not from the last 24 hours. The most recent file is from July 17th. The lib.php file is dated July 8th. Have I downloaded the correct version?

Hi Nikki,
there are three groupmodes in a course (to switch in Course-Settings).
if the groupmode is No Groups or Visible Groups the teacher can switch the view
I suppose your groupmode is Seperate Groups so that the teacher only can see the students in his own group.
Thank you for the tip with the file-date. My mashine where I'm developing is not time-synchronised
. I have to change this, sorry.

If you cretae your own feedback form and then you go to edit it again, you reach the editing page with the "Name" field empty.
Thank you for your great package.

As Don says above it is sad that this module has the same name as the Feedback module by Narumi Sekiya and Thomas Robb. I am trying to get this working (by adding hidden sesskey's) but I am not there yet.
Since we already have feeback, survey and questionnaire, I am not sure what to suggest.
I guess that the Sekiya-Robb module's functionality should reallly be combined with the assignment module.
But I also hope that the questionnaire and (this thread) feedback module can work together.
Tim
Since we already have feeback, survey and questionnaire, I am not sure what to suggest.
Maybe you could call it something like the "querymod."

Hi
Great module. Much easier to use than the questionnaire module (QM). Hopefully the two can be integrated as there are some question types in the QM that are really useful like the clustered questions with a grid of answers. I really like the excel export with it's two worksheets.
A bug?
I cannot get the movement of elements up or down working? If you try to move the bottom one up it stays there and the second bottom one loses it's down arrow.
A suggestion
Can we have element order changing like the resource/activity ordering in a course so you can move elements to any place in one go OR like the teacher order dialogue where you can type the order into text boxes.

Hi Colin,
thankyou for your suggestions. I think like you. I have written this already in my ToDo-List.
Now to your failure. What version of feedback-module do you use? The last version is "2005100303". It is optimized for moodle 1.5.x. The failure you describe unfortunately I can not reproduce.

Hi
Feedback Module Version: 2005100303
Moodle Version: 1.6 development (2005101200)
The feedback resource has 7 elements. The last one (7th) will not move position but it looks like it's partly worked because the 6th one loses it's down arrow as if it were last. (7th). Attached a screenshot showing two "bottom" elements.
I suspect the problem must be the development version of Moodle if it works for you?

Hi,
Thank You for your great module. I've translated it into Basque.
Andreas-Thanks again for this wonderful module and for your continued attention to developing it. I am going to start using it but I have some suggestion for you. Is it possible to make the answers anonymous but allow a teacher (or at least an admin) to know who has and hasn't filled in the feedback? Such a feature would allow it to be used for required course evaluations.
I have found a bug. I have created a feedback and made it a template. It has five questions, 4 radio buttons and one textarea. When I go to create another feedback and use the template, it only displays the first radio button and one text area question. The other 3 questions have disappeared.
OK, I've looked in the database. It seems to be having a problem when it should be inserting the template items as actual items belonging to a particular instance of the feedback. Only the two items are inserted in the table, even if they already exist as template items.
I should add it is not saving the initial template with more than the two questions either (I just had done it manually in the database to see what would happen). I reinstalled the entire module to see if that helped and it didn't.
Hi,
I can not reproduce your behavior. You can create and use templates with one or more different items. Can you explain more precisely what happens. Perhaps I do not understand you correctly.

Feedback doesn't seem to be working with Activity Locking at all.
I want to require students to fill out the Feedback at the end of the course before they can get their Certificate, and I thought I was doing that by locking the Certificate until after the prerequisite Feedback.
The Certificate is never unlocked though; regardless if the Feedback is viewed or even completed.
Is this an issue with the Feedback module, or AL??
Dan
BTW - my compliments to the creator of Feedback!!
Hi Dan,
thank you for this tip.
Andreas
thank you for this tip.
Andreas
Andreas,
I sure appologize if I've wasted your time, but my problem with Activity Locking is NOT specific to the Feedback. I'm finding that other things are not unlocking as well... I'll have to look again at the AL version that I have.
Very sorry,
Dan
Hi,
sorry for my late answer. I'm not sure, whether it is a good idea to make it visible who has filled out or who has not. The anonymity is important for me.
A solution could be the ActivityLocking (thank you Dan for your tip) but it does not work at this time. I will check this in next time.

I've tried to install "feedback" on another server with the same configuration and it's work.
The only different is the number of modules installed.
So i've removed some of them on the first server and now it's work.
Maybe an incompatibility with another module.
I've removed anonquestion, booking, choice, flash,presentation (which don't work), reservation, scheduler, stampcol and survey.
I can reinstall succesfully all of them except presentation and stampcoll.
It's not a scientific demonstration but now i can use your module

Hi Jérôme,
I suppose, it is one of your modules. There could be one module that seems not installed correctly so that other modules have problems with it. My module does not modify any tables than its own. The fact that nothing happens let me assume moodle is busy with another process or the checking of new modules is broken by another module. Is this behavior only with my module?

I'm not Michael...but branching means if a person answers a question one way, they are sent to a certain branch of questions, and if they answer it another way, they are sent to another set of questions. For example:
Do you like to eat fruit? yes, no
If the person answered "yes" they would be sent to a question asking them:
What is your favorite kind of fruit?
If they answered "no" it wouldn't ask this question and might simply move on to:
Do you like vegetables?
Do you like to eat fruit? yes, no
If the person answered "yes" they would be sent to a question asking them:
What is your favorite kind of fruit?
If they answered "no" it wouldn't ask this question and might simply move on to:
Do you like vegetables?
Hi,
thank you. Sometimes I am very stupid.
Branching is not planned. I think it would make the handling of this module to complex for normal teachers without or with few computer-knowledge.

Andreas
Andreas, thank you for this terrific module! It is just what I need and works very well. The only thing I wanted to do that was not possible was making a question like this: How did you find out about our website? a) advertisement in a magazine / newspaper b) Google c) Word of mouth d) other, that is : < textarea > < /textarea > I made it into 2 questions now, one multiple choice, one textarea and made the element numbering invisible so I could do the numbering myself (and make 2 elements into 1 question). Maybe you could consider this for the next version ...
I found one little bug: when testing, I filled out the feedback form 10 times. When I deleted 9 of my entries, the count on the analysis page still said: 10 completed feedbacks (instead of 1).
I am working on the dutch translation too, when it's complete I'll post it here for you to include Thanks again! Marion
Hi Marion,
i know the numbering isn't perfect. I planned a kind of structuring (eg. 1), 1.1), 2) ). Your idea to make a question unnumbered would be a good enhancement.
Your bug i couldn't reproduce. Every times i deleted an entry the shown count of completed feedbacks are correct on my mashine. What configuration do you use for your feedback (Anonymous or not, multiple submits, what kind of browser and so on)? Do you use the last version (current is 2005100305)?

Hi Andreas,
The config: not anonymous, multiple submit (or single), IE6.0, moodle 1.5.2, feedback module 2005100305
Maybe it was a caching problem...
By the way, how do I open the tutorials?
Here is the Dutch translation for the feedbackmodule.

Hi Marion,
thank you for your language-package. I put it into the current download.
The tutorial was made by Markku Lahtinen. He used phpDocumentor for it. I unfortunately do not know about this. I think the tutorial isn't ready for use yet. Markku just seems very busy.

This is a fantastic module for getting feedback from students. I have used questionnaire until now.. but this is simpler to use and set up and just as useful. It is a godsend when I have to produce by termly analysis of student performance - students have to comment about various aspects of their lessons - this does all the hard work for me...
will it work with 1.6?
cheers

Hi Richard,
Thanks for your words and for your using the feedback-module.
I tested it at some versions of 1.6, just at the current version too. There i found no problems. But the tests were not performed on productions-systems with high traffic.

Hi Andreas,
I'm going to be working on making this module available on mobile phones as part of the Moodle for Mobiles project.
One of our requirements is to have the analysis of results optionally displayed for students. I see this is on your todo list. I could work on this and have a patch to submit to you in the next few days. But I thought I would check with you first.
Can I go ahead with this, have you any advice about how this should be done?
Edit: Actually I just had a look at how it could be done and I've started doing it. I shifted the code from analysis.php to a function in lib.php and then have added function calls to show feedback after the user submits good input and below the feedback is already submitted message when the user clicks on the activity to do it again.
Will also add an option to the module config so that a teacher can choose whether to show feeback to users.
Is this OK? Do you think we can integrate what I do into your distribution?
Your code looks very clean and is very easy to follow by the way, thanks for this great module.

Hi Jamie,
i have just included the possibility to show the results to students. It can be adjusted in the config-area of the feedback-activity.

Sorry, that i don't use your work. I was allmost fineshed whith that feature. It only was a small change. In addition i have fixed a little bug. Now it is no longer possible to submit the feedback repeatedly via reloading the browser.

Thanks for adding this feature (showing results to students) to your great module

I just thought they might be useful additions to your module. Thanks a lot for all your effort! 
Markus
Thanks for adding this feature (showing results to students) to your great module
I have a few questions or feature requests, actually:
- Would it be possible to decide on an item-by-item basis if the results are displayed to students, maybe by adding an extra icon to each element (similar to the required/not required option)? For example, I'd rather not publish demographic information but only the responses to the "real" questions.
- When a feedback is non-anonymous, it would be useful to have the users' names in the Excel output as well, wouldn't it? Right now neither the general tab nor the detailed tab in Excel contain the users' names (unless I'm missing something here).
- I would love to see the possibility of students looking at their own submissions and changing/updating the information they have entered originally. For example, when using the Feedback module to have students sign up for courses, it would be nice if they were able to update their choice of courses without filling in a completely new feedback form (granted that multiple submissions are allowed).
- And one more: I think it would be great if the Feedback module, like most other activity modules, had the option of defining an open and close date.
I just thought they might be useful additions to your module. Thanks a lot for all your effort! Markus
Hi Markus,
Andreas
- the possibility to publish or unpublish several items sounds good. I write it into my todo-list.
- You are right. On non-anonymous feedbacks should be printed out the usernames in excel.
- The updating of non-anonymous, multiple-submit allowed feedbacks is a good idea. In this case every feedback will overridden anyway.
- A start and end-date feature is already in my todo-list
Andreas
How do you feel your module should handle guests Andreas?
Right now it seems that guest access is possible but if 'multiple submitting' is not allowed then only the first guest may submit their choices.
By the way your module is working great on 1.6 for me! I did convert the en language pack to en_utf8 but as I understand all modules will have this done automatically by a script Martin Langhoff is working on.

Hi,
you are right. If the access is anonymously by guests you have to allow multiple submitting.
Andreas

Maybe we should disallow guest access if 'multiple submit' is not on or
the feedback module is set to collect feedback non anonymously.
Or we should allow multiple submits for guests even if multiple submits are not allowed for others.
In other words see the table below. We should make the two cases highlighted in yellow the same either allowed or not allowed. I think it should not work that only the first guest should be able to submit their choice.

| off | off | not allowed | not allowed | allowed | not allowed |
| off | on | allowed - now allowed | allowed - now not allowed | allowed | not allowed |
| on | off | not allowed | not allowed | allowed | allowed |

Hi Jamie,
i'm not sure whether it is really necessary. There is currently no malfunction. In my opinion we have a ilogical behavior if i implement your suggestion. The currently options are quite clear. It you choose no multiple submit so you can assume the guest can do only one submit likewise all other. If the guest in this case could do more submits it would be ilogical.

I notice in lib.php you have some functions whose names are not prefixed by 'feedback_'
All function names in lib.php are meant to be prefixed by your module name in order to avoid conflicts with other module's lib.php functions. I believe lib.php is included sometimes in pages with lib.php included from many other module, so if by chance someone writes a module with the same function name in their lib.php as one of your functions then Moodle would throw an error.

For the Moodle for Mobiles project I'm working on having one poll question per page.
It looks like you have already set up tables to support temporarily storing submitted values before the whole form is submitted. I see adding page breaks is also part of your todo list.
I'm guessing really at how this is meant to work but I guess that the values field 'tmp_completed' which is currently unused will point to a 'completed' record until the whole form has been submitted and then if the data submitted is validated then all the 'value' records' 'tmp_completed' fields will be set to 0 and instead the 'completed' field will be set to point to the 'completed' record.
Is this correct?
While writing I thought of a possible problem with this - although this will track the entered data of all logged in users correctly, we will have problems tracking multiple guests entering data at once.
If you're not sure if or how you will support paged forms that is OK I will go ahead and work on a way to do it for the Moodle for Mobiles project but if you have a plan then I'd be interested in hearing it.

no it isn't so.
The pagebreak is almost ready by Markku Lahtinen. He is using the session for temporarily values.
The field tmp_completed i'm using for the backup-/restore-procedure.

I've just discovered your feedback module Andreas. I installed on a test 1.5.3 site and it seems to work great. I have been looking for a way to easily create an online registration system (posted here: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=41948) and it seems this would work great for that purpose...in fact, it is much better than what I found in websitebaker.
Thanks for this great module.
Steve
Andreas,
Would it be very difficult to incorporate Captcha Verification as an option into this great module?
I'm thinking of setting this up to allow anonymous completion and multiple submit so that individuals without accounts can complete training and conference registration forms on the front of my site. I'm a little concerned with SPAM if I set it up this way. I could limit it to users with accounts, but would rather not have to do that.
I realize this is not the intended purpose of the module, but I think it could serve this purpose very well.
Thanks.
Steve
Hello Steve,
it should be possible as an additional item. I wrote this in my todo-list.

Great....thanks Andreas. I spent much of yesterday exploring your module and doing some customizing of the language to make it work as a registration system.
I'm now playing around with the "Analysis" page to try and make its output more like the "detailed" sheet in the Excel output. If you have any tips on how I could easily do this it would be great...I'll figure it out, but with my programming skills it'll take me a while.
Thanks again for this module...it will help me out a great deal.

Steve,
Can you give a little more detail about what you mean by "registration system"?
In my case, I would like to collect a couple items of information (for instance, which state a user is from) and make specific courses available based on this; as well as keep one of the fields (professional license number) for displaying on a Certificate when they finish a course.
Is this possible using the Feedback module??
Thanks,
Dan
Dan,
I'll open a site I'm currently developing for a little while so you can take a look at what I'm trying to do...you won't have access to courses, but you can see what I'm working on for the reghistration system: http://www.kentuckyclassroom.com/ksba
I'm just using the site to test the changes I'm attempting to make to the feedback module...I'm really interested in using it to allow people to register for on-ground training, but I could also use it for online training as well. There is already an Excel export feature built in that allows you to download the data. Sheet 1 of the Excel output summarizes the results...not useful for my purposes, but sheet 2 (called results) actually reports the results exactlly like I need.
So the only thing I'm trying to do now is change the bult-in analysis report (which summarizes the data like you would want in a survey or poll) and make that output look like what is reported in sheet 2 of the Excel output. Captcha Verification would just be "icing on the cake"
It was built for online surveys and polls, but there is no reason (that I can think of) that prevents you from using it to collect any kind of data you want.
Hope this helps.

I have to thank you! I've been trying to figure out a good way to present users with only the courses that apply to them, and I hadn't even considered Feedback as a possibility, but it looks like a good one.
Also, I happened to look at your profile, and noticed your Blog - great idea! I've been wishing that I could 'bookmark' posts for myself within the moodle.org forums, but the Blog idea is even better! I'm going to start one tomorrow.
Thanks for the two great tips!
Dan
You are welcome Dan. Actually, I haven't been doing a good job at keeping my blog updated...I have good intentions, but haven't been following through
The blog is a good way to bookmark and document things to share with the public, but an even better way...easier way, to bookmark useful Moodle posts for yourself is through gmail.
I've set-up a gmail account that I only use in my profile on Moodle. So all the forum posts I'm subscribed to on Moodle.org come to that dedicated gmail account. each time I open the account, after I browse/read the forum posts, I just archive all posts...if there are any I want to have for future reference, I simply "star" the post before archiving. Then my starred folder in gmail contains the posts I want to keep for quick reference...see below. With the ton of free storage space I get on my gmail account, I should be able to keep these shortcuts for a very long time

Hi Steve,
each item has a function like "get_analysed_XXX()". This function returns an object or an array depending on the item-type.
Furthermore each item has a function like "print_analysed_XXX()". This function is called by "analysis.php" and prints out the values gotten above.
I'm hoping I could help.

I successfully installed your Module but I have a question for you:
Is it possible to include two different questions in the same box-block ?
Is it possible to set the first of the 2 questions so that the second question depends on the answer given to the first by the student?
Is it possible to disable check or radio button depending to the previous answer?
How can I implement all these functionalities? Any suggestion?
Thank you
Olga
Hi Olga,
these features are not implementet. Currently there are no plans for this.
You could implement this by creating a additional item. Do look at the feedback/item-directory. There you can copy and modify an existing item.

Where does the feedback module save the results from each feedback?
I found the export to Excel option, but the spreadsheet generated requires too much reformatting to be useful for my clients. I also need the responses from each radio button choice instead of the aggregate data.
I'd like to export the data directly from the MySQL table, but I can't figure out which one has what I need.

Rik,
The Excel workbook as two sheets...look at the second one...it probably reports the results like you want.
The feedback module has 6 tables...the one you are looking for is feedback_value. That table contains an individual record for each value submitted. The data submitted is in the "Value" field and that field is correlated with the "completed" field (identifying who submitted the input) and the "Item" field (identifying the specific form field).
Although I haven't tried it yet, it should be pretty easy to do a query on that table to produce the results however you want them to be displayed. See a screenshot of that table below with data for a form with 7 items from two people...figaro and cosmo.
Steve,
Thanks for the quick answer. The second sheet is a winner!

I will get back to you with the server details.

Hi Andreas,
I've just found your Feedback Module.
It will be very useful as a replacement for Questionnaire module that is far too complex for the average course-creator I'm working with (hoping no one of them will read this post).
Anyway, I've installed the module downloaded on April 15 and I've patched it for PostgreSQL I'm using.
I found a couple of problems (bugs?).
When I insert a double quote in the item name, then I save and than get back to edit the item, the quoted sentence disappear.
Looking at the code I've seen that the value of the input field was not HTML-encoded, so double quotes garble the browser.
The little patch I had written (attached) basically adds a format_text(...,FORMAT_PLAIN) around values.
The another problem arise when I backup and restore a course.
I've seen that the restored copy has all multiple entries items (checkbox, radio button etc.) interleaved with empty entries.
Trying to explain it better...
If I have, say, a checkbox with these entries:

).Anyway, I've installed the module downloaded on April 15 and I've patched it for PostgreSQL I'm using.
I found a couple of problems (bugs?).
When I insert a double quote in the item name, then I save and than get back to edit the item, the quoted sentence disappear.
Looking at the code I've seen that the value of the input field was not HTML-encoded, so double quotes garble the browser.
The little patch I had written (attached) basically adds a format_text(...,FORMAT_PLAIN) around values.
The another problem arise when I backup and restore a course.
I've seen that the restored copy has all multiple entries items (checkbox, radio button etc.) interleaved with empty entries.
Trying to explain it better...
If I have, say, a checkbox with these entries:
- A
- B
- C
- A
-
- B
-
- C

Hi again,
I've written another little modification on Feeback module, to display translated item type in the select list when you create a new item.
I've to add new strings to language files as item names in code are different from item name lang string (for example, "Checkbox" is coded as "check", but the lang file defines a string "checkbox").
I patched English and Italian files.
It should not be a problem with other languages as they fall-back to English for undefined strings.

Hi Lorenzo,
the same suggestion already was done by Jamie Pratt. As I fixed the issue above I included it now. Now the items can be named in the lang file.
There are some other thinks I have to fix. But it will take a while because currently I have a great deal to do on my job.

Hi Lorenzo,
thank you for this information. I fixed this problem in the current download. Now (so I'm hoping anyway) after a restore shouldn't appear blank lines on items like checkbox or radio and so on. In addition quoting of item names are now possible.

Can the template created in a course be used on another course?
I have created a masterpiece but it is only available for that single course it was saved in.
Q1. Am I missing something?
Q2. Can it be done / was the module designed to do this?
A1. Other than my marbles (!), all is working well and it appears to have insatlled OK. V1.2AL.
A2. If not, can I do a backup and restore the template in to another course.

Hi Baz,
you can create public templates. You can not switch a template to public if it is not public. But you can create a new feedback from you private template and after that you can create a new public template.
Backup and restoring of feedbacks is possible too.
I'm hoping it helps.

I am new to Moddle and do not know how to install this or where to place the unzipped folder.
Please help.

Hi Eric
Download and unzip the folder to your computer. Then u load the folder feedback via ftp to the follow place:
root/moodle/mod
The language files in:
root/moodle/lang e.g. de (german) en (english)
The help files:
root/moodle/lang/help eg. de (german)
Now login to your moodle, call the admininstration, thats all!
If u have done this, go to a course and look for the module, its a great module!
Bye Andy

I have done this but the module does not appear on the admin page or does it show as an activity that I can add. Any suggestions?
Dave.
Hi Andreas,
I had already found that post and it was helpful.
When I went to my site to find out the information you requested, I clicked on the Admin page and it installed the Feedback module. I don't know why moodle decided to do it then because I had gone to that page several times befor without any success.
Everything is working fine now. The module is exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks for your help.
Dave.
We are working on feedbacks currently. One of the things we started with is making it work on 1.6, the diff can be seen here:

I have attached here a simple doc (pdf) of the changes we will be doing for feedback. We hope the changes will be accepted on the upstream. Thanks.

Hi Yun,
the feedback-module is designed to use inside a single course with a simple to use interface. I think the module questionaire (forum) is more suitable for your demands.

Hi Andreas,
We did look at questionnaire module and did some minor work on it. We saw that feedback module is simpler and easier to add code in it. The feedback will still be in a course level, we just need to make a report for the whole enterprise.
Our plan is create a single/common feedback and get responces from different courses. Example of a feedback:
Is this course helpful ()Definitely ()Fairly ()No
Is quality of course material ()Good () Fair () Poor
Students will be able to answer to this feedback for all of courses. A report can be made to say, which course has poor course material.
We are planning to make the single instance to be in the system course (top level course) and track the responces in which the student course he/she filled up the feedback.
-Or-
Create a feedback template and make a new instance of it per course, and create a report that will get the responses of all feedback that came from the feedback template.
Do you have any opinion of which of the above options to use?

Hi Jun,
the second suggestion I could imagine. There seems to do only little changes on the current structure. I think the report should be a separate block that requireres an installed feedback-module. So the module keeps simple.
A hard problem will be the backup/restore if the feedback are bound to templates. Currently templates are not saved on backups.
What do you think?
Andreas

- the backup-api only allows the access to course-elements
one process for all feedback-instances (only saving of templates on the current course is possible) - the restore-api only allows the access to the new acivity-instance (not even to the course-elements)
one process for one activity-instance (only restoring the feedback-instance without any templates are possible)
What do you think?
Andreas
Hi Andreas,
Martin L told me to go with option 1. If we make too much changes to feedback, we may just release it as a different module. But currently no big changes was made yet, I only added course_id to feedback_value to know which course was the feedback responded from. I am now creating the reports needed by the client.
Please release as often as possible so I can merge your changes. We can probably decide later if our changes is approriate and accetable for feedback module or not. Thanks and I will keep you posted.

Hi Andreas,
Its fairly stable currently, I just need to think about the UI for selecting courses. Currently its a dropdown and will not scale if you have thousands of courses.
I got your latest download and merged them, I also did a quick test for mysql. I have attached here the patches you will need.
I think currently the biggest semantic change is joining the feeback_value.course_id to the different feedback tables. Normally you would join feedback.course column to the other feedback tables. The former query is finding out which course was a particular responce been done. The later query is finding out which course does this feedback belong to.

Hi Andreas,
I have attached here blocks/feedback and mod/feedback files if you decide to test first. What you will need is to create the feedback on the system/top level course. Then you add the feedback block inside a course. You then click the feedback listing on the feedback block to respond to the feedback.
You can see the report on the link below your current Analysis link. Course scoping only works for radiorated and textfield items. I can add them to the other items if you think how the way I changed the functions is acceptable.

Hi Jun,
thank you for your great work. I included it into the extra download. There now are two packages:
Now you can put a block in a course that shows all feedbacks from the main-page of moodle. The analysis now allows you to view results in relation to the courses.

Hi Andreas,
Thanks. I have made some minor tweaks to it since then.
Added course short name on the excel download, since course id is too criptic.
Added search box, to make the UI scale better for schools with a lot of courses
I forgot to add the search button
Please kindly see if they are logical to put into upstream.

Hi Jun,
thank you. It is already included. I downloaded your current snapshot.
In addition i have a bit worked on your script.
a) the course-analysis link now will be shown only if the feedback is placed on the main-site of moodle (courseid = SITEID).
b) the sort-by-course is available for all items ended with "rated"
c) now there is a link to show all courses. So you can easy go back after showing coursefilter
d) now the coursefilter works on all items
Big thanks for your extension!
The current download now includes both parts (module and block).

Newbie here, and I am impressed, I have read he entire "feedback" forum post, and still don't know how and where to implement it.
I have read Jun's first request and the PDF, and it is exactly what I am looking for (end of course (or at any specified moment (enrolment?) - teacher and course etc. evaluation). I have also tried to follow you discussion thread, I however have no clue how to incorporate this using the downloaded "feedback" module and my moodle installation.
How can I set and tie these things up?
I also tried the questionnaire module, same problemsfor me though, and I know it must be me, sorry.
I will start work on a Thai translation of both modules, yet for evaluation purposes, I need to find out if and how I can integrate feedback per student, per course.
thanks in advance,
Ronald

Hi Ronald,
the steps to install are standard for all other mods and blocks.
Installation:
After it you have to run the admin-page of moodle (http://your-moodle-site/admin)
in your browser. You have to be loged in as admin before.
The installation process will be displayed on the screen.
That's all.

I've run into a problem here...
When I create a feedback activity in a course (other than course #1), I can not make the activity visible to students. On the "Update Feedback" page, the "show/hide" combo box is greyed out. On the course page in edit mode, the eye icon is closed. Clicking on it has no effect.
I am able to create a working feedback activity on the site's front page page. I can create a feedback block in another course, and everything works as expected.
The problem appears to be limited to an instance of the activity in a single course.
The installation ran cleanly.
My environment:

That was the problem. It worked as advertised as soon as I made the block visible.
Thanks for the fix, and for the work on the feedback module. I didn't realize that I wanted the feedback block until I saw it working. I like it a lot!

Hi Andreas, thanks for your quick respons,
I should have been more clear, I have no problem installing the module.
I really just want to know how I can use/implement the feedback module as an end-of-course evaluation tool.
So how can I add the "feedback" as an activity, not to a "topic", but to a course.
Someting scheduled for every student to provide us with feedback regarding the course, the teacher, course material, etc. etc.
I know this is more about moodle functionality (not so much the feedback module) and my lack of knowledge of it, I just could't find it in the forums or documentation how to achieve this.
"Vielen Dank" (and if I could, I would have done the whole message in German)

Thanks Andreas, let me try. I will be repeating myself, I just want to be as clear as possible!
First of all installation works fine, creating a feedback works fine.
In your own words: "The feedback-module is designed to use inside a single course"
I really want to know how I can use the feedback module for every course as a final "task" (activity?). So when students finish a course, they will be invited to give feedback.
I know this is what the feedback module is for, I just do not know how to set this up in moodle, how and where to configure, implement etc.
I can create a feedback module, that works great! but I want to add feedback as an activity to each course.
I can add "feedback" as an activity to a topic, but I want to add it as a final "activity" to each course and collect the data per student per course for further analysis.
Data I would like to see student/course/date and the feeback of course.
This is my lack of knowledge of Moodle, I know.
So really something Jun suggested in his PDF file (http://moodle.org/file.php/5/moddata/forum/27/202903/feedbackmod.pdf) but your thread went a bit more about the technical stuff, I am talking functionality.
Sorry for being a pain and not always able to make myself more clear!

Hi Ronald,
you can create feedbacks on each courses or on the main site. If the feedback is created on the main site so it will be shown in the feedback-block. With using the feedback-block you can filter the results by courses
If you want the students only can fill out the feedback after working all thinks on their course so you have a look at Conditional-Activities. That is an extention to show and hide activities in dependence of using other activities.
I don't know whether the feedback-module works with "Contditional-Activities".
The results of feedback you can export to excel. There are two sheets. One as an overview the second is a detailed view.

Hi Andreas,
thanks for your help.
I managed to assign "Feedback" to courses using the "Blocks" function.
I have just upgraded to v 1.6.
It showed me that feedback was incompatible, so I reinstalled it in version 1.6 with the utf-8 language file in the moodledata directory.
I managed to get "Feedback" on course level again, but it also shows on the main page, which I do not really want (not that it's hurting me, but it's confusing I guess)
Also, the "Feedback" header (in admin blocks and on the course page is "feedback" - with the and around it?
Any ideas? Might the initial detection of Feedback during the upgrade screwed things up? I can see v1.5.4 feedback as well now.
And thanks again for being such a great and generous resource!
Ronald

the files of lang xx have to be converted in utf8 or specialchars will be shown failed.

Hi Ronald,

Hi,
can you tell me how I would increase the filter to include course category?
What I am trying to do is show feedback results accross departments and course. The departments are entered as categories and the courses found within those, i.e Engineering and course MENG004.
Still using 1.6.+

Gerald
Hi at all,
I released a new version.
The following things are changed:
Thank you at all for your tipps and assistance
Andreas
I released a new version.
The following things are changed:
- prefixed all function-names like "feedback_"
(note: there also functions at items are renamed. If somebody has created its own item-typ, so the item/lib.php has to be adapt.) - fixed security issues (e.g. optional_variable() >> optional_param())
Now it runs on moodle 1.6 (big thanks to jamie pratt and Jun Yamog) - improve group-feature
- adding moving behavior like moodle activities
- adding a dropdownlist on create/update item page to adjust the position
Thank you at all for your tipps and assistance
Andreas

Hi Andreas,
I've been using your module for some time now - it works great, never had any problems (apart from the logging thing). I 'd like to upgrade to your latest version, how should I do that? Of course I don't my current feedbacks to disappear or worse...
Whart is the best / savest way to do this?
TIA Marion
Hi Marion,
what version do you use?
Andreas
what version do you use?
Andreas
Hi Andreas,
I use version 2005100305 (so it says on my admin/modules.php page). I've installed it last january or so.
Marion
Hi Marion,
this version is absolute ok to upgrade.
Nevertheless I would recommend that you do backup your system before.
Andreas

Andreas
Sorry,
I did not answer completely.
To upgrage this module you have to copy the folder feedback/ from the zip-file into the folder feedback/ from your existing feedback.
zip-file/feedback/* --> moodle/mod/feedback/*
After it you have to copy the folder lang from zip-file to the folder lang from moodle.
zip-file/feedback/lang/* --> moodle/lang/*
At last you call your admin-page (http://url2moodle/admin). There should apear messages what say the upgrade was ok or not.
That's all.
Good luck!

Another project came between me and my moodle upgrades
, but I finally got to it today. I've upgraded the feedbackback module, but now it's not showing up on my modules list in the moodle admin
! Apart from that everything seems to be working fine - with the feedbacks I made before the upgrade that is. But I can't make new feedbacks, because feedback is not showing up as one of the activities to add...
Andreas, please help
Marion
Hi Andreas,
The problem solved itself (??!!??), I still don't know what happened. I noticed some strings where missing from the dutch lang files, I will have a look and send you the new lang files so you can add them to your zip.
Andreas - I found a way to reveal the identity of the person taking a feedback survey anonymously. This is a major problem for us. Have you thought of a way to fix this?
1) on September 11, 2006 at 1:09:32 AM EDT, I got an e-mail message that said, "Anonymous has filled out and sent th feedback: 'Fake Survey'. You can view it on this website."
2) I clicked on the link and saw the list of respondents
3) the identity of "Anonymous" had not been revealed, so I didn't know who it was.
4) I went into the logs to determine total activity and determine who was on the site on September 11, 2006 at 1:09:32 AM EDT
5) the only person on the site at that date and time was Soup Rabbit; therefore, "Anonymous" must be Soup Rabbit
6) however, note that the logs do not reveal that Soup Rabbit took the survey; the logs show that Soup Rabbit went to "Course View" three times
Soooo . . . thinking out loud: is there a way to provide a link to the survey outside the context of the course? If so, respondents could not be tracked.
Also, is there a way to turn off time stamping when users have taken the survey?
Thanks.

A similar problem exists with the questionnaire module. The responses
are stored and displayed in order. You can use the log to determine who
submitted the questionnaire and then match the order in the logs to the
order of the response. It is good to know which participants responded
(at least in a classroom setting I find it good to know which students
did not complete the assignment or participate in the questionnaire). I
would like to ensure the anonymity of the responses by randomizing the
order of the responses. It would add an extra step but I think it would
be well worth it. That way when viewing the responses you would not
know if you are looking at the first person to respond or the last
persons or someone in between.
Hi Peter,
you could use a course with allow guests. So any user are shown as guest.
The timestamp is often necessary. Somtimes you want to see feedbacks before and after some event. Without timestamp you can not see the changing.

OK, Andreas. Thanks.
Another work-around I thought of after writing to you: I simply right-clicked/control-clicked on the link and copied the link location and then pasted it in an e-mail and sent it to users.
This forms a direct link to the survey. I was able to take it without logging in. It recorded my response but did not log my visit to the course, thus making it completely anonymous.
Two apparent drawbacks: (1) anyone with the URL can take the survey and (2) there is no way to prevent anyone from taking it multiple times.
The apparent good news: you can copy and paste a link to a survey and ensure that it's entirely anonymous.

Andreas,
I had a teacher ask me why she could not delete a submission and I found a little hole that is somewhat problematic. The teacher had created a non-anonymous feedback and then wanted to test it. Being a new Moodle user she switched on Student View (Moodle 1.6.1+) and was able to go in and Answer Questions. It shows as a submission; however, it is not listed in the list of respondents because the respondent is not a member of the course. I had to go in to the database and delete her responses and the submission. I'm not sure how you might patch this to prevent others from experiencing similar confusion but I at least wanted to make you aware of this. I'm not sure how this will play out in 1.7. When I get a chance I will try to test it and see. In the meantime, I figured I would give you one more thing for your to-do list.
In short, in Moodle 1.6 if a teacher has student view on then they can answer the questions but then cannot delete or edit the responses.
Peace - Anthony

Hi Anthony,
thank you! I have fixed this behavior at the current download. Now a teacher can preview the feedback and go through it but it will not be saved.
Andreas
thank you! I have fixed this behavior at the current download. Now a teacher can preview the feedback and go through it but it will not be saved.
Andreas
Andreas you are absolutely amazing! Many thanks for the lightning quick
patch. I excitedly sent an email to the teacher letting her know that
it was fixed. Most of the people at my school are unfamiliar with open
source programming. I thanked the teacher for her contribution to
Moodle by bringing this issue to our attention. Thank you for feeding
my enthusiasm for Moodle and for open source. I very much appreciate
your contributions.
Andreas - Something else for your consideration. Should deleting a
feedback cause the data to be deleted or would it be better to have a
T/F field in the table called deleted? Here is the scenario that raises
the question for me. One teacher did a feedback and had multiple
students reply to it. Another teacher saw the feedback in her calendar,
clicked on it and said I don't want that in my class and deleted the
feedback. Now I as an administrator have to go back to a previous day's
back and try to restore the data. It would be easier if I just had to
go and change the deleted field from 1 to 0. I know that this would not
be a small project but it would prevent the loss of valuable
information. On any type of survey I consider the user's input valuable
information. This would protect a teacher from literally losing
information. The data could still be stored in the database and just
not appear through the Moodle interface. I appreciate your
consideration of this and hope that it finds its way to your to do
list. Let me know if I can help in any way. Peace.
Hi Anthony,
the interface of moodle only let a user drop an activity without any options.
Imagine:
A teacher want to drop an activity.
Therefore the activity is really droped or (like your suggestion) the activity is marked to drop. If the activity is marked as drop, at which time the activity should be really droped? On the other hand an activity what will be droped also will be droped on table "course_modules". So it is a mechanism of moodle and not of the activity.
I think the better way is that if there are more than one teacher in a course they have to communicate (like a good colleague).

I agree - I have encouraged the teachers to talk more to each other. Part of the confusion was that one teacher did not realize that the event she was going to through the calendar was in a different course. She thought she was deleting a feedback from one course when in fact she was in another.
I haven't been following this but it looks interesting a certainly very popular .
With this being such a long thread it may be helpful to other moodlers if people were to expand the moodledocs description that Art started: http://docs.moodle.org/en/Feedback

I installed this yesterday, but we had a problem with our first survey (which was all checkboxes). The values weren't saving to the database. There were entries in _feedback_value, but the value fields were empty.
After hacking a bit, I found that line 218 of \item\check\lib.php was voiding out all of the actual values. They survived through the code until that moment. The line is:
$arrvals = clean_param($arrvals, PARAM_INT); //prevent sql-injection
I commented it out (as well as identical lines in the radio, radiorated, dropdown, and dropdownrated lib.php's) and everything's working OK.
Anyone else run into this? Any reason why it might be happening?
Thanks!
Hi Jeff,
I assume you use moodle version 1.52 or earlier. Since the release 1.5.3 the function clean_param() works ok. You can use the version 1.5.2 in the kind you described above. But note there are some security bugfixes on moodle since this version.

The following were missing in my language pack for 1.6 utf-8 english:
$string['position'] = 'Position';
$string['line_values'] = 'Rating';
$string['line_labels'] = 'Label';
I also wondered if the picture category should link to a directory in the course files so that new pictures could be uploaded via the files interface, or whether you could pick the directory. Otherwise this is a limited category for general tutor use.
Are the question types plugins? (i.e. is there a way to remove question types if need be.)

James
PS. The usability and inteface of this module seem to outweigh the additional features of questionnaire, but I would love to see the two merged into a replacement for the standard survey module if the opportunity arises. Great work by both parties invovled and the sum would be fantastic.

There is one further use of require_variable in the feedback module :

- horizontal navigation now shows the course from where the feedback was invoked
- only one link to analysis will be shown (analysis.php or analysis_course.php)
- now you can search short- and fullname of courses
- the moodle main-site is now included into the searchresult
Have fun!

Hi Andreas,
We needed to fix the feedback block a bit. The client wanted to have some feedback to only show on particular courses. I added a UI to map sitewide feedback to courses, by default a sitewide feedback will be visible to all courses. When there is a mapping to the course, it will then use this mapping. Here is an early development and a bugfix any comments will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
I haven't tried the module as yet- though it sounds good. Unfortunately, I had another module named feedback loaded up. I deleted it before starting install of your feedback but it re-installed bits of itself before I deleted the files from the directory.
As a result, your feedback is installed but has no name assigned. Rather, it is designated modulename. So, there is obviously some conflict there.
Could you, or anyone else, tell me what I might need to delete to ensure that your module is named properly. Then I can do a full delete and re-install.
Thanks

Hi Alistair,
what you have to do is dependent on your moodle-version.
The feedback zip-file includes a folder "lang".
On moodle 1.5.x
Andreas
what you have to do is dependent on your moodle-version.
The feedback zip-file includes a folder "lang".
On moodle 1.5.x
you have to copy this folder to <your moodle-folder>/lang.
On moodle 1.6
you have to copy the folder "lang/en_utf8" to <your moodle-folder>/lang/en_utf8. All other folders in "lang" you have to copy to <your moodledata-folder>/lang.
After it the name should be shown correctly.

Great work guys, I guess now it became almost a comprehensive module.

Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$moving in C:\Documents and Settings\challis\Desktop\moodle\moodle\mod\feedback\edit.php on line 216
Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in C:\Documents and Settings\challis\Desktop\moodle\moodle\mod\feedback\edit.php on line 216
then followed by this which repeats itself (about 20 times);
Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$moving in C:\Documents and Settings\challis\Desktop\moodle\moodle\mod\feedback\edit.php on line 236

I am new to php so any help would be appreciated.

hi Andreas,
This module is fantastic particularly the templating concept. Can you tell me how to restrict this to members only.
They have to login before they can complete?
Regards,
Mark
Hi Andreas ,
The module ,feedback,is more friendly than questionnaire.
But the language I use is chinese(zh_tw_utf8),and if I export the result of feedback to excel,the character can't be displayed well in excel,there are any solution ? Thank you very much

Hi Andreas,
I administrate a moodle-site used by primary school children.
To understand the analysis of a feedback site, with all this information put together, they had big problems. Therefor I changed the layout of all these feedback_print_analysed.... functions in the diffrent directorys under item.
Now it's all 'align="left" and wrapped in extra tables. Perhaps you have a look at it and it could be an advantage for everybody.
The zip-file only contains the files I changed and under lang the de_utf8/feedback.php which is still missing in your downloads.
Viele Grüsse Katja

Hi
There are some errors that are being thrown out now I have upgraded to 1.6.1 from 1.6.
and the same for line 40 with No replaced by Yes
This is also repeated on line 38 for offsets 1-9 to create a total of 19 errors.
Yours
James
There are some errors that are being thrown out now I have upgraded to 1.6.1 from 1.6.
- When setting up a new Feedback instance the following occurred in the Show analysis to students field:
Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$publish_stats in ...\feedback\mod.html on line 39 selected="selected">No
and the same for line 40 with No replaced by Yes
- There is also an undefined offset for rated questions:
Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in ...feedback\item\radiorated\lib.php on line 41
This is also repeated on line 38 for offsets 1-9 to create a total of 19 errors.
- Once a question is added there is:
Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$moving in ...\feedback\edit.php on line 216
Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in ...\feedback\edit.php on line 216
This is repeated for lines 221, 236, 319

I have done some fixing regarding some scalability problem. I hope to remerge for upstream. Anyway for those who are using feedback with a lot of students you may want to use this patch
If someone can help me test in mysql and merging some stuff that would be great. You can see the difference with upstream and our current version here.

Hello, (sorry for my english)
I would like to do this questions types particularities :
- Matrix - Multiple Answers per Row
- Matrix - Multiple Answers per Row (Menus)
- Open Ended - Date and/or Time
- Choice - Multiple Answers (Vertical)
for the last one, it's possible to write differents terms for 'Other' sentence.
Inserte break-page, etc...
Create Skip Logic (Conditional Logic) - customize the path a respondent takes through the survey by adding skip logic. Eliminate unnecessary confusion by skipping non-applicable questions. A proven way to reduce "drop-outs" and overall frustration.
Custom Redirect - Once your survey is complete, respondents will be redirected to the page of your choice.
These exemples are inspirate from this web site
Thanks a lot for your helps

Hi jun,
sorry for the late time I didn't let me see in the forum. I was very busy, importent things on my job, new own server and so no.
I will look your changes at next time. Big thanks for your work.

Hi Andreas,
No problem. I tried to keep things as close to upstream. I think the biggest change is the ability to map which courses you want to use the sitewide surveys. See the diff here I haven't tested the exists query on mysql on blocks/feedback/block_feedback.php
Aside from that I don't see any other possible issues for upstream.

Hi Jun,
thank you for your work. I integrated all in the current download. Unfortunately you didn't use the last version. You should upgrade your installation.
best regards

someone can answer me ?
Hi Andreas:
I have a problem with Feedback module and would kindly ask for some help. It used to work fine with Moodle 1.5.4+ but is not the same with 1.6.2. It´s seems like something is missing, like send buttons... Please, take a look at the picture as it appears on my website.
Thanks
Lúcia

Hi Lúcia,
all looks fine. The trainer (so you are) is the editor of the feedback and can not submit answers. You have to go to "Edit questions..." to modify or create the questions.
Then the students will find the possibility to submit answers.

Hi,
Here's the new Spanish translation.
Cheers, J. Martin.
I've tried to install the module in v. 6.3. There's no way of getting it properly installed: after clicking http://..../moodle/admin/, there's neither indication nor change in the "Administrador de módulos". The Feedback module is not anywhere. I think that I've gone through all the steps. Could you give me a clue about what is happening? Thanks,
Fernando
Hi,
sorry for the late answer.
What server-system do you use. If it is linux, do you have looked at the read-permissions of the uploaded files? Especially the folders have to set executable.
An other possibility could be a incompatibility with other modules (see here).

Hi Andreas,
I see you have been updating the feedback module for 1.7 so you may have included much of this stuff in your module, but I made some aesthetic and functional changes to the module (pre-1.7) that you may wish to consider including:
official int(1)
userid int(10)
See here
Cheers and thanks for the cool module!
Paolo

- Aligning answers and non-anonymous results by putting them in the same table
- Using tabs for navigation
- Making official (admin created) public templates appear at top of list and user templates appear at bottom
- Making templates available to users the wherever they are in the site, rather than the course
official int(1)
userid int(10)
See here
Cheers and thanks for the cool module!

Andreas - I know that there was some talk about getting the feedback or questionnaire module in to Moodle core. With the upcoming release of 1.8 I was wondering if any progress has been made on that. With the recent re-organization of CVS contrib is there any chance that you might be able to start maintaining your code there? Peace - Anthony
Hi Anthony,
I am not sure. Martin told me that after the re-organization of CVS I will get write access to it. I'm still waiting.
Andreas

Andreas
Andreas OK - well I know that Martin is working on the contrib re-organization. You may wish to create a request in tracker requesting for write access to contrib for the feedback module if you have not already done so. Peace - Anthony
Andreas - Any update on getting CVS write access? I was able to write access for the MRBS block that I put together. With possible inclusion into Moodle 1.9 or at least a question mark on the official Roadmap page, it would be good if other developers could start playing the code, getting familiar with it and generally just tightening things up and getting it ready. Of course we could just go ahead and dump it in to HEAD and see what happens. I don't know when it would be appropriate to do something like that. Peace - Anthony
Hi Paolo,
it looks very nice. Thank you for this great work. Unfortunately it is for the old feedback-module.
The new fields "official" and "userid" I would not use. Imagine the follow situation:
Teacher-A creates a template. Some time ago teacher-B want to use this template. He will not be able to use it. I think it is better if all templates created on the mainsite are official. Only the admin or users with the required abilities can do that.

Hi Andreas,
I see what you mean, although I am not 100% convinced. I do hope you agree that admin and user templates would be usefully separated.
The template idea in feedback is great, but the logic isn't perfect, because the template should be available to the user rather than the course. This is true because:
-The feedback module will usually be used once only in a course,
-You will only occcassionally want to share questions in a particular course,
-But you will commonly want to use the same feedback template in many different courses.
Having it available to user without publishing also avoids problems of making a template public just to pass it from one course to another and then having it remain on the server to confuse other users.
In any case, it is a well-needed module for Moodle.
Best wishes,
Paolo

Hi again,
I guess my preferred solution would be for a feedback module be available to the course and to the user. This would resolve your issue of templates being created, but being inaccessible if the tutor left.

Hi,
I'm not sure if I understand you correctly.
Only the admin-user can create templates on the main-site. So it would be easy to separate these global templates without additional information.

Andreas,
This is a great module. Is there any chance that you can add the 'public' feature like in the Questionaire module?
What I am trying to do is create a master feedback for each semester and link the feedback to each course. Currently, the feedback module lacks the followings:
1. A feedback can only be linked from the top site and using the feedback block. This presents a problem: I want to create a hidden course called 'feedbacks' and assign a special admin to it. There he can administer all the feedbacks. Can this be done?
2. There can be only two choices for submition: once or many. but I want to limit to 'Once per Course'. i.e if a student belongs to course A and B, then he should be able to fill-out two feedbacks: one for course A and one for course B.
Of course, I could create a single feedback per course, but then it lacks the central management (i.e deploying a feedback to an entire site) as well as it is time consuming.
Thanks for all the great work so far.
I haven't ever done this, so it is just an idea... but could you use a metacourse to achieve what you are talking about? http://docs.moodle.org/en/Metacourses
I really am shooting blind... but maybe it could work?
hth,
Lael
I really am shooting blind... but maybe it could work?
hth,
Lael
Not really. Because it still lacks a 'once for each course' answer. i.e. if a student belongs to course A and course B, then he should be able to submit *two* feedback. One for course A and one for course B.
Also, I need a way to separate the responses by courses. As of now, only the top level feedback (site level) can be link to other courses.
Thanks for the suggestion, and yes - I did try to use Metacourse.
I changed the codes so that it is now working for what I need.
Hi David
could you please send me or upload here the changed feedback module because i ned alomst the same as per your requirements and also wil it work on moodle 1.4 also????
