The site I’m working on now will collect information on members. Much of this is in the form of selecting options from drop downs, checking boxes or radio buttons. I’d like to process this information in a way that lets certain members (company personnel) see a number of visual indicator of their answers.
For example, if we had check boxes for different skills: HTML, CSS, PHP, ExpressionEngine, CodeIgnitor, jQuery, etc we could assign them values: HTML (1), CSS (1), PHP (2), ExpressionEngine (3), CodeIgnitor (3), jQuery (2). Then if someone were to click HTML, CSS, and ExpressionEngine as skills they posses the system could calculate the value: 1+1+3 = 5. This could then be used to create a bar graph or other visual using CSS or js. Personnel could then scan a list and visually see how people ‘scored’. The goal is to be able to see a list of entries (members Zoo Visitor profiles) and quickly tell who the most qualified are on paper.
Any ideas? I’ve seen some add ons, but none that seem to use Field data. This will probably take some PHP I’d guess, and might be a good candidate for making it into a plugin. SOmething I’ve not done and frankly am not a PHP guy. But I’d at least like to know if I’m on the right track or if there is a solution out there I’ve missed.
