Hey, guys!
I’m back after a bit of an absence. Didja miss me?
“Shareable questionnaire with multiple views”... Sounds cool, but what the heck is it?
I’m starting on a project that’s a little unusual, but I think EE can handle it with flying colors. I’d love some feedback so that I don’t paint myself into a corner!
A bit of setup:
+ Each member, upon registration, creates a single entry. I’d like to do this automatically for them on registration confirmation—or maybe first login—and take them directly to an initial SAEF. More on how to possibly do this below…
+ The answers entered into this single entry / questionnaire will be shared only with the site’s other registered members. Easy enough. But there are several “pages” within the questionnaire, dealing with different topics. So I’m planning on creating multiple templates that allow the member to see and/or edit only the custom fields associated with the current “page” or topic—even though all fields (180 or so total) for all pages (20 or so) are really part of the member’s single entry.
Now questions:
+ On subsequent logins, and after a click on an “Edit my Questionnaire” link, I’d like to present a page with links to each of these different pages (Stand Alone Edit Forms.) I’m thinking this would be the same page as the initial-login landing page, and that the links shown would be determined by a conditional created using Mark Bowen’s Maximum Posts Reached Plugin: If there’s no post, redirect (using MB’s Redirect PI?) to the initial SAEF; if there’s > 0 posts, show the links to the topic pages. Sound logical?
+ I’d also like to give the member control over whether/when their questionnaire is published. In other words, if someone wants to compose their answers over several days or weeks in private, then post later. For this I’m thinking I could create a custom field—a Yes/No drop-down—that allows an Entries page index to display only entries where publish=“Yes”. Bueno?
That’s all I can think of at the moment.
All comments appreciated!
