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. 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:
Re: New Module: Feedback
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.

Re: New Module: Feedback
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.

Re: New Module: Feedback
Yep that seems to be the case. Love this module. Great work!
Re: New Module: Feedback
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!

Re: New Module: Feedback
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.
Re: New Module: Feedback
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

Re: New Module: Feedback
At the moment every teacher gets every feedback.
Re: New Module: 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.

Re: New Module: Feedback
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.

Re: New Module: Feedback
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?
Re: New Module: Feedback
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
Re: New Module: Feedback
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.
Re: New Module: 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.
Re: New Module: Feedback
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..

Re: New Module: Feedback
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.

Re: New Module: Feedback
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
Re: New Module: Feedback
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.

Re: New Module: Feedback
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.

Re: New Module: Feedback
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?

Re: New Module: Feedback
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.

Re: New Module: Feedback
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)

Re: New Module: Feedback
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.

Re: Vast: New Module: Feedback
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.

Re: New Module: Feedback
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?

Re: New Module: Feedback
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

Re: New Module: Feedback
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.

Re: New Module: Feedback
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
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?

Re: Er: New Module: Feedback
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.
Re: Er: New Module: Feedback
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.
Re: Er: New Module: Feedback
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.
Re: Er: New Module: Feedback
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.
Re: Er: New Module: Feedback
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.

Re: Er: New Module: Feedback
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??

Very sorry,

Re: Er: New Module: Feedback
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

Re: New Module: Feedback
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?

Now everythings are OK. All my modules work fine except Stampcoll and Presentation that i've removed.
i've tried feedback and i've made a rapid translation for french users like me.

Re: New Module: Feedback
Hi Andreas,
I've upgraded the french translation of the feedback module. The attached file should replace the one that is now in your distro. It's encoded in utf-8.
I didn't have the time to adapt the help files.
Thanks for your amazing tool.

Hi Andreas, does this do branching? If not, how hard do you think it would be to add branching in?
Re: New Module: Feedback
Hi Michael,
I'm sorry. What do you mean with branching?
Andreas
I'm sorry. What do you mean with branching?
Andreas
Re: New Module: Feedback
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?
Re: New Module: Feedback
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.

Re: New Module: Feedback
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
Re: New Module: Feedback
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)?

Re: New Module: Feedback
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?

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.

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
Re: New Module: Feedback
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
Re: New Module: Feedback
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.

Re: New Module: Feedback
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.

Re: New Module: Feedback
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.

Re: New Module: Feedback
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.

Re: New Module: Feedback
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.

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.

Re: New Module: Feedback
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.

Re: New Module: Feedback
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.

Re: New Module: Feedback
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
Re: New Module: Feedback
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.

Re: New Module: Feedback

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!

Re: New Module: Feedback
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

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

Re: New Module: Feedback

Re: New Module: Feedback
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.

Re: New Module: Feedback
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.
Re: New Module: Feedback

Re: New Module: Feedback
Hmmm... In order to create the questions I want answered, I should click on the Add element button, right?

Re: New Module: Feedback
Hi Art,
I just tested the feedback-module on moodle 1.6 Beta 3. It runs fine. Perhaps you have forgotten to choose an item before you clicked on the button "Add element".
If it isn't so, please let me know your configuration e.g. windows or linux-server, version of mysql, apache and so on.

Re: New Module: Feedback
No, I wish that were the case. But that does not mean that I am doing everything right. I assume that this sort of problem is user error and I am usually right.
I have attached a little Flash movie. You can see the page refreshing, but that's all that happens. But maybe you can see me doing something wrong.
I will get back to you with the server details.
Thanks for taking an interest in this, Andreas.

Re: New Module: Feedback
Hi Art,
I found the problem. I use api-calls, which in moodle 1.6 are handled different than in moodle 1.5x. Among other things it affects the setting "register globals" in php. I will fix it as soon as possible.

Dear Andreas,
Thank you for taking a look at it. I am sure that you are very busy, so I will simply look forward to the update whenever it comes.
Just in case it is useful to you (probably not, but you never know), here is the info you requested from me:

Re: New Module: Feedback
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:

Re: New Module: Feedback
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.

Re: New Module: Feedback
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.

Re: New Module: Feedback
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.

Re: New Module: Feedback
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.

Re: New Module: Feedback
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.

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

Please help.

Re: New Module: Feedback
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

Re: New Module: Feedback
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.
Re: New Module: Feedback
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.
Re: New Module: Feedback
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:
http://gitweb.catalyst.net.nz/gitweb?p=moodle-r2.git;a=commitdiff;h=6663d13644628aaf16505892174af8ee76c0eba0
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.

Re: New Module: Feedback
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.
best regards

Re: New Module: Feedback
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?

Re: New Module: Feedback
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?

- 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?

Re: New Module: Feedback
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.
