Hi @wpmudevsupport13
This is a continuation of the original question on creating a survey. We would like to get some feedback from our users as a 1-5 ranking like you have in your “Shape the new form editor” feedback form. In that feedback form you ask ‘how was your experience…” then on the following line are the numbers 1 – 5 which are formatted as rectangles with the numbers inside them and acting like radio buttons where the selected item is colored. Immediately below that you have the “scale” of Dislike to Love it!That’s what I’m looking to do: Build a survey form with some ranking questions formatted like that. Along those same lines of formatting I’d like to provide some “toggle” style questions similar to how the setting screens look with two values side by side each formatted as a rectangle with the text inside. In our case this would be a True / False or a Yes / No style question.
Thanks.
@wpmudev-support2 Thanks for sending the survey suggestion forward. Regarding the formatting of radio buttons to look like your form survey or the Vertical / Horizontal option in the settings, making them horizontal is not enough. That just gives you radio buttons in a line but still formatted as standard with the selector circle followed by the label.
@wpmudevsupport15 Guidance on how to format radio buttons (I assume) as tiles like you have in your form survey would go a long way as well.
@wpmudevsupport15 thank you, I was afraid that’s what it was but wanted to confirm.
The main feature missing for surveys is a Likert scale component with customized labels.Secondary would be a Ranking component (ie: drag and drop to put items in order of preference) – I’m guessing the drag and drop Ranking Component would be the toughest to implement, but a static list with a single digit input box and description where the individual items acted together as a single unit would be ok too. (so they can’t rank multiple items the same).
We can sort of hack something together for these, but it’s not clean (especially with the data analysis) so surveys remain elsewhere. Just a good Likert Scale component would be enough to win over most of the team. The Rankings would just make it that much better and expand our options.@wpmudev-support9 Take some responsibility for your actions. I do review change logs, and the only mention of this change is listed as an enhancement not a breaking change:
“Enhancement: Respect WordPress settings that disable user registration and display a notice on the Form Editor screen for registration forms”
An enhancement that is going to “Respect WordPress settings” was supposed to inform me that the update would cause our registration submissions to silently fail?
I agree that there’s no need to inform users about general updates and changes, but when you make a change that not only breaks our site, but does it silently, that needed to be properly communicated in advance.
Our workflows rely on the notifications from that form, so not only did I have to shut down registrations until I can find a solution that works, but I also have to manually create several accounts and send apologies to all of those users then manually add them back into our workflows.
It’s the end of the year and I have much more important things to be doing than cleaning up your mess.@wpmudevsupport13 A warning about this change before you made it would have been nice, and that’s being kind.
Like the user above we didn’t pick up on this until members started submitting support requests, and even then we have a standard reply to cover the common reasons, so it took way too long to learn about these changes. We are using that form to block the default login because we needed the notifications it generated. For now we had to turn registration off completely while we manually create all the failed submissions and resolve this when our focus should be on better things.
