» Download WP Survey Creator, v.1.1
V.1.1 Update: PHP checks to see if user has answered for each question. Now the completer cannot complete the survey without answering each question.

After I create the survey how do I publish it on my Wordpress blog?
First of all you need to create a page called survey or something similar. On that page add the text
[survey][viewsurvey] and bingo it should just work.I tried to add the survey on both a post and a page using the syntax your sugegsted [survey] and it did not work.
I am using WP2 Beta2RC1 with K2 Beta R125
Sorry Greg. Change [survey] to [viewsurvey]. This should fix any problems that you might be having.
We have not tested this plugin with permalinks.
Will it work in a post oir does it have to be on a page?
Ok, I tried it and it works. There is a typo in the answers ‘Excellent’ is spelled incorrectly as ‘Excelent’, what file can I find that variable in so I can change it?
Where does the page called ’survey’ with text ‘[viewsurvey]‘ go?
public_html ?
blog ?
wp-content ?
plugins ?
survey_creator ?
Tried ‘em all, just goes to dashboard after I hit submit in Create Survey Part 1
Thanks
OK I finally got it
First of all you need to create a page in WP! called survey or something similar. On that page add the text [viewsurvey] and bingo it should just work
still doesn’t work
just goes back to dashboard
WP 1.5.1.3
Sorry, but it generates a lot of MySQL errors on WP 1.5.2…
You need to copy and paste us the errors if you want us to be able to help you.
This is a super simply useful tool!
but..
1) I’ve get it on a sample site: http://www.verniciai.it and I add images from the browse images button, but then I don’t see images from the public space..
2) How I can add the option to acquire with cash on delivery?
I’m running wordpress 2.0 and when i wonna see the comments people put they are not displayed only the following error code
“Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()” and it’s in line 407 and 419
Can any one help me??
A very interesting tool. Features that I’d like to see:
1. Multiple concurrent surveys. Maybe [viewsurvey1] to trigger the survey, so they could appear on different pages.
2. Ability to see comments from admin window.
3. Other question types. Yes-No.
4. A way to make a survey into a quiz. With Yes-No, Multiple choice, etc. Collect email, score the quiz and email them their results. Collect email address in the process.
I just installed the plugin and I can’t get past “part 1″ of making a survey. I’m using WP2.0 and no matter what I type for my survey name and number of questions it simply takes me back to the “Make Survey (Part 1)” page.
I checked the db tables and they exist but they are all empty.
Any ideas for me?
A usefull script but it’s not working on my WP2.0. I’ve installed it without any problems and the public page shows fine. However when trying to create a survey, I will add the survey name and number of questions but when I hit the submit button it takes me straight to the WP login page?!?!?!?!?
Also, I notice your on v1.2, but when I d/l and install the version linked above, I still get v0.1 showing on my plugins dir; which happens to be the first version I d/l’ed from the codex site.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I guess it just doesn’t work with WP2.0 at this time. I’ve checked through the code and I can’t figure out why it wouldn’t be working (I can’t get past the first screen to make a survey) but I can’t figure it out.
Hopefully Dan can check in here and give us some info on it. Perhaps it has been corrected in the later versions; as mentioned before, the d/l link is still downloading v0.1 …
Yes I will. We’re going to have a look asap, just please be patient.
Great!! We look forward to using your script…
I installed it with wp2 but the button on the admin page is pointing to wp-admin/… while the files are in wp-content. I couldnot find the page or line where I could change this to point to the wp-content directory.
So I decided to put the files into the wp-admin directory. In this case, after hitting the Survey Creator button in the admin menu, the file is found but there comes an error message about undefined object on line 208…
I suppose this is still a bug and not fixed. Right?
I can make a survey just fine but when I put [viewsurvey] in the new page, it just loads as an otherwise normal page with those words on it — not as a survey.
Fixed It! The problem is very simple: Don’t install the complete folder which comes after unpacking the ZIP-file. Install the CONTENT of the folder only, consisting of: the file “survey_creator.php” and another folder “survey_creator”. If you use the outside-folder, named “survey_creator”, too, it won’t work. Got it?
First off, thanks for creating this plugin. I have it installed at (using WP 2.0.2)http://thesiegeonline.net/index.php/view-survey/, where it says “Thank you for completing this survey,” after I completed the survey myself. But I am baffled as to how to publish the results. Naturally, I would like to publish them on the same page as the survey. Any ideas.
I am getting a couple of PHP error messages…I would assume that it is a conflict with the theme I am running but I could be wrong. Below are the error Messages:
Warning: require(/home/.blot/kingkube/amuseapalooza.com/wp-content/themes/tropical-breeze) [function.require]: failed to open stream: Success in /home/.blot/kingkube/amuseapalooza.com/wp-includes/comment-functions.php on line 42
Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/home/.blot/kingkube/amuseapalooza.com/wp-content/themes/tropical-breeze’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php’) in /home/.blot/kingkube/amuseapalooza.com/wp-includes/comment-functions.php on line 42
Also Is there a way to take out the radio buttons as I dont need them for every question. I would not mind editing the php or eliminating them permanently.
Thanks in advance
The download link is a 404.
I just downloaded the file and your post of v. 1.2 says it’s supposed to have instructions included. The download does not. It just contains 4 files.
I uploaded the survey_creator folder to my plugins directory on the server and WP 2.03 won’t recognize it.
Ideas?

>Warning>: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in >/home/btour/public_html/web/wp-content/plugins/survey_creator.php> on line >419>>
and this is for survey_comments.csv
do i need something to be active in apache / php so this work ?
or is a script error ?
tkz.. if you could replay me on email wold be great.
Is there a Demo available?
Is it possible to use the surveys in posts?
I installed Survey Creator 0.1. I have a setup a survey. The results of the multiple choices are stored correctly, however when I go to download the comments the CSV file only contains blank lines. Has anyone seen this before? Is so, do you know how to correct it?
Thanks for any help,
Brad
i’am really impressed!!
Is there a way to make it so that people can vote multiple number of times?
I tried the poll, works fine however when I load the page again, it gives me the Thank you screen..

[...] Survey FlyA WP survey creation plugin, which isn’t original considering that WP Survey Creator has existed since late 2005. But its functionality is a whole level higher, with multiple types of questions available for use. See the demo yourself. To me, it pretty much rounds up all the user-input plugins WP users need. After all, we already have first-class plugins for quizzes and polls. [...]
