In this tutorial you will learn how to create a questionaire on your website. The questionaire in this tutorial will do it anonymous. Visitors do not need to register and log in. Visitors can enter the questionaire unlimited. You already need to know the basic principles of TYPO3. The default template file will be used.
Create a new SysFolder to store the questionaire items and results. This step is optional but recommended. You can do this by using the module 'Web > Page' or 'Web > List'. In the example below the name of this folder is 'Questionaire Storage'.
Create a new page which shall display the questionaire to the visitors of your website. In the example below this is the page with the name 'Questionaire'.
Go to the module 'Web > Page'. Choose the page you just made in step 2 in the site tree. Click the button 'Create page content'. You will enter the wizard to add new content elements. Click the button 'Questionaire' which is in the subpart 'Plugins'.
The FlexForm for the configuration of the extension is shown. Click on the tab 'General'. At 'Startingpoint' you click the button at the right side to open the TYPO3 Element Browser. Select the sysfolder you created for storage of the questionaire items and results. In this example this is the folder with the name 'Questionaire Storage'.
Enter the rest of the configuration according to your wishes.
Go to the module 'Web > List' and click on the sysfolder for storage of the questionaire items (in our example 'Questionaire Storage). Click the button 'Create new record'. In the 'New record wizard' you select 'Questionaire item'.
Select a 'Question Type' in the dropdown list. The form will adapt according to the selected type.
Enter the values of the fields the way you like to ask the question.
Answers can be entered using the field 'Enter the Answers'. If you like to enter more options for each answer, click the 'Answer Wizard' button at the right side of this field.
Save the item and close the document. Repeat step 7 till 10 to add more items.
You are back in the module 'Web > list'. An overview of all questions made by you is presented.
Check if all questions are correctly reflected by checking the page in the fronted of TYPO3. If you still want to do some modifications, you can do this in the backend hereafter.
If all questions have been well entered, you can create 'Page Break & Conditions' records in the list . In our example we create a page separation after the second question. The first two questions will be displayed on the fist page, all following on page 2.
Select 'Page Break & Conditions' in the bottom of the dropdown list. The form will adapt to this choice. Enter a possible page title and an introduction text.
If you want to add conditions to a page, click on the button 'Condition Wizard' at the right side of the conditions field.
Add conditions which shall be compared to the previous answers. If the conditions evaluate to 'True', the page is displayed. In this manual the functioning of the 'Condition Wizard' is explained separately.
Check in the frontend of TYPO3 if all conditions are satisfying.
Make the questionaire public and visible for your visitors.
After closing the questionaire, you can export all results for use in spreadsheet software as MS Excell or statistical software such as SPSS. Go to the module 'Web > Questionaire'. Select the storage folder for questionaire items in the site structure. The module will show you an overview how many visitors participated in the questionaire. Choose an export method and click the button 'Export CSV file'. Save the file on your local hard disk for further processing.
