I 'm sorry
I didn't see any captcha, how do I enable it?

[Hans]

Hi Ralph (or anyone else able to help)
I'm using this great module on a WB 2.8.0 installation. Everything works fine except the captcha.
Is it possible to turn this on somewhere?
Thanks!
Hans

Same problem here ...

How to enable the cptcha function in wb 2.8?

Ich suche mir einen Wolff und versteh nicht, wie und wo ich das Captcha integrieren oder aktivieren soll :-))

Herzlichen Dank,
sangallo

[Ralf (Berlin)]

Hmmm, the feedback module was originally written in PHP 4.1 for WB 2.6 and got a special routine to enable captcha in WB 2.7.

But now it seem to be neccessary to rewrite the whole code and shift it to PHP 5.2 and WB 2.8 ...

Please spend me some time and I will spend you a new feedback module... 

ok - please be patient, a new version will come.

Regards
Ralf

Great! Thanks!

Hello Ralf,

Congrats on a great module.  I have been trying it out on my first WB test site and all is working well.  I have one question though and I am unable to work out how to do it so I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction please.  On the feedback form on the front end of the website I was wondering if it is possible that when a registered user is logged into the frontend of the website that the Name and Email fields are automatically filled in on the form with his or her display name and email for example.

I am sure this should be possible but putting the PHP statements in the feedback form template to call the logged in users display name or email doesn't work. 

I look forward to hear your suggestions and pointers.

Many thanks,


James

Hello James,

direction please.  On the feedback form on the front end of the website I was wondering if it is possible that when a registered user is logged into the frontend of the website that the Name and Email fields are automatically filled in on the form with his or her display name and email for example.

This functionally is implemented but buggy... 

Please edit /modules/feedback/class.feedback.php (i.e. with AFE), goto line 1265 and replace:

Code:

    // Der Name muss nur eingegeben werden, wenn der User nicht angemeldet ist
    $parser->add('title_name', fb_title_name);
    if (!isset($_REQUEST['fb_name'])) {
      $wb->is_authenticated() ? $name = $wb->get_display_name() : $name = ''; }
    else {
      $name = stripslashes($_REQUEST['fb_name']);  }
    $parser->add('name', $name);
    // Die E-Mail Adresse muss nur eingegeben werden, wenn der User nicht angemeldet ist
    $parser->add('title_email', fb_title_email);
    if (!isset($_REQUEST['fb_email'])) {
      $wb->is_authenticated() ? $email = $wb->get_email() : $email = ''; }
    else {
      $email = $_REQUEST['fb_email'];  }
    $parser->add('email', $email);

with this code:

Code:

    // Der Name muss nur eingegeben werden, wenn der User nicht angemeldet ist
    $parser->add('title_name', fb_title_name);
    $wb->is_authenticated() ? $name = $wb->get_display_name() : $name = '';
    if (isset($_REQUEST['fb_name']) && !empty($_REQUEST['fb_name'])) {
      $name = stripslashes($_REQUEST['fb_name']); }
    $parser->add('name', $name);
    // Die E-Mail Adresse muss nur eingegeben werden, wenn der User nicht angemeldet ist
    $parser->add('title_email', fb_title_email);
    $wb->is_authenticated() ? $email = $wb->get_email() : $email = '';
    if (isset($_REQUEST['fb_email']) && !empty($_REQUEST['fb_email'])) {
      $email = $_REQUEST['fb_email'];  }
    $parser->add('email', $email);

Hello Ralf,

Thank you for prompt reply.  Tried the code and it seems to have done the trick. 

Thanks for your help with that.   

I have been modifying the CSS and template files to fit into my website and it is getting there.  I also added a little bit of code within the class.feedback.php to hide the comments link when a user is not logged in and display a sign up link instead.  It still display's the posted comments to visitors who are not logged in which is exactly how I wanted the comments to work.

Added this around line 1109.

Replaced:

Code:

$parser->add('intro', sprintf(fb_frontend_intro, WEBSITE_TITLE, $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'?fb_action=feedback'.'#'.fb_anchor));

With this:

Code:

if ($_SESSION['USERNAME'] == NULL ) { ?>
    <ul>
      <li class="message">You need to be registered and logged in to submit comments. <a href="<?php echo SIGNUP_URL; ?>">Sign Up?</a></li>
      </ul>
     <?php } 
    else {$parser->add('intro', sprintf(fb_frontend_intro, WEBSITE_TITLE, $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'?fb_action=feedback'.'#'.fb_anchor));
    };

I am not a PHP coder so this is probably not the best way to do it but it works for me.  Just thought I would share what I have done.

Keep up the good work Ralf. 

Thanks,


James

Hi Ralph,

great module, just what i needed.......but 


Ive noticed a small problem, when i ask the module to send the comment to me (admin) for approval, it actually sends the approval link to the author of the comment and the 'comment approved link' to me.

i should think its an easy fix but i thought i would let you know.

that aside, great work!

The supplied module doesn't handle apostrophies (single quotes) very well? It crashes the mysql update query. Your live version slashes the apostrophy which is marginally better. (eg Peter's - > Peter\'s)

I actually thought that website baker would have functions in the "framework" to automatically sanitize all input, but apparently not?

[Artis]

Thanks, Great module. But I need encode module to utf8, how I do it?

Thanks.

I actually thought that website baker would have functions in the "framework" to automatically sanitize all input, but apparently not?

I have made some changes to the module to sanitize single quote (apostrophes) in the following text fields:
Comment Name, Subject, Text and Admin's comment to a comment.

I also cleaned up the CSS a bit to make function with 2.8.  My Changes are attached here and at my website at: http://www.themaskedcrusader.com/media/dloadable/feedback.zip

[TeddyBare]

Hi, I only started using WebsiteBaker yesterday, so apologies if I have missed something fundamental here, but I have 'installed' this module, but can't find any information in English about how to use it.

I am assuming that I have to add some content to each page I want feedback on perhaps, but it's really guess work.

Can anyone help me out please?

Thanks in advance

[Ralf (Berlin)]

Hello,

just add a new section of type "Feedback" to the page where you want use this module. You will see it's easy to use.

Regards
Ralf

[TeddyBare]

Just that tiny bit of information was enough Didn't know there were sections, but now I do.

Sorry, it was easy, once I knew what to look for.

Life would be so much easier if I just RTFM.

Thanks

Mike

Hi everybody,

Where can I change the language? I would like to use a Dutch version.

I would also like to have the feedback form directly below my text in stead of switching to another page with the feedback form. How can I achieve this? Exactly like on http://phpmanufaktur.de/cms/topics/feedback-modul.php.

Thanks.

[Ralf (Berlin)]

Hello Martin,

problem makes for some characters such as "Р" is replaced with the �€ and the like such as:

Hmm, ac hoc I have no solution for this problem. I will deliberate about this question.

NL.php is "on board" just switch the language of your page/section to NL.

To have the feedback form at the foot of your page please add a section of type feedback module to it (please have a look at the WebsiteBaker manual).

Think you have to convert all the Macedonian Cyrillic letters in to HTML entities
in the language files. All language files have to be encoded in UTF-8.

Code:

in the language files. All language files have to be encoded in UTF-8.

thank you for this hint. So the solution should be to force the parser to encode/decode the cyrillic letters.

Please edit class.parser.php from /modules/feedback and complete the to functions:

Code:

  function encodeSpecialChars(&$value) {
      $value = ereg_replace("ä","&auml;",$value);
      $value = ereg_replace("Ä","&Auml;",$value);
      $value = ereg_replace("ö","&ouml;",$value);
      $value = ereg_replace("Ö","&Ouml;",$value);
      $value = ereg_replace("ü","&uuml;",$value);
      $value = ereg_replace("Ü","&Uuml;",$value);
      $value = ereg_replace("ß","&szlig;",$value);
      $value = ereg_replace("€","&euro;",$value);
    return $value;
  }

  function decodeSpecialChars(&$value) {
       $value = ereg_replace("&auml;","ä",$value);
       $value = ereg_replace("&Auml;","Ä",$value);
       $value = ereg_replace("&ouml;","ö",$value);
       $value = ereg_replace("&Ouml;","Ö",$value);
       $value = ereg_replace("&uuml;","ü",$value);
       $value = ereg_replace("&Uuml;","Ü",$value);
       $value = ereg_replace("&szlig;","ß",$value);
       $value = ereg_replace("&euro;","€",$value);
    return $value;
  }

in the same manner with the codes oeh has posted.

Hi Ralph,

NL.php is "on board" just switch the language of your page/section to NL.

My page is setup to be Dutch, but it doesn't pick up the language.

To have the feedback form at the foot of your page please add a section of type feedback module to it (please have a look at the WebsiteBaker manual).

I know, it IS at the bottom of my page, but now it gives me the message "Bitte teilen Sie uns und allen Besuchern von Welkom bij COC Rotterdam Ihre Meinung zu diesem Artikel mit." and I have to click on the words "Ihre Meinung zu diesem Artikel" before I can type in my feedback. I would like to have the form in which you can type immediately on the page, not needing an extra click to reload the same page, but showing the feedback form. Please take a look at my hidden page http://www.cocrotterdam.nl/pages/de-vereniging/blog-van-het-bestuur.php?lang=NL and you will probably see what I mean.

Thanks for your help.

My page is setup to be Dutch, but it doesn't pick up the language.

ok - it seem the feedback module doesn't recognize the language. Solution: please rename in /modules/feedback/languages/ the file DE.php to _DE.php and then rename NL.php to DE.php (quick & dirty...)

It ist not intended to show the feedback dialog directly, it always will be shown after clicking the link.

http://phpmanufaktur.de/cms/topics/feedback-modul.php does not use the feedback module, it uses the the comment function of the topics module...

Regards
Ralf
