Created on 29 May 2019  ·  17Comments  ·  Source: nextcloud/forms

Thanks for this great app!
some things have disturbed me a bit or maybe not yet understood after saving a Survey is no longer possible to edit it again .

can users vote multiple times the same survey would make sense only once for IP address or session?

possibly the possibility to customize the survey with a template where html or something like that for example by adding a photo and so on

4. to release enhancement high

It's a great alternative to goolge forms. But edit part would be also nice.

Thanks

Thanks for this great app!
It solves my problem from here: https://github.com/nextcloud/polls/issues/560
A edit function would be great!

Really useful app for the NextCloud. To be able to edit the already created polls would definitely increase the usability of the app!

I cannot use this as long as there is no edit button. But it is a good start.
Also now entries do not show the type after they are added.

it is a good start.

I assume the app might have been done, according to this post: https://help.nextcloud.com/t/were-making-a-forms-app/50271

We’re a team of 8 UMD students. We’re taking a software engineering class and as part of the class we have a semester long project.

Bravo for this application that I look for some time because I do not trust google: d.

I can not wait to see him evolve

Hello, I wanted to know if there will be updates for this apps or if it will be released because the last modification is 2 months ago

We've transferred the repo to nextcloud. I believe they have plans to improve the app. When I eventually get some time I might make some contributions. But that won't be happening soon so you have to wait for others to make updates. Or feel free to make your contributions

Expressing interest here on the edit capability. It would make the app a lot more useful for us. Thanks for the great start though!

yeah it would be great. maybe it's a limitation that you can't edit a form due a user is fill it with data. but maybe we can edit it since we share it?
But with this nextcloud get better and better… thank you 👍

based on the routes file (https://github.com/nextcloud/forms/blob/master/appinfo/routes.php) : ['name' => 'page#edit_form', 'url' => '/edit/{hash}', 'verb' => 'GET'],

The 'edit' page is /edit/{hash}

Isn't the Edit function the same as CREATE FORM but instead of default/empty, you load the ID / info of an existing form at that same page and the rewrite it?

When the 'edit' page is viewed as @MarkPartlett mentioned, there can just the title and the description edited. But when you look at the html-Code you get delivered to the browser, there you find:
<h2>Make a Form</h2> <div id="quiz-form-selector-text" style="display: none ;"><label for="ans-type">Answer Type: </label>

<li type="text"><div>tuitzutg</div> <div><input placeholder="Add Answer" style="height: 30px; display: none;"> <ul id="form-list" class="form-table"></ul></div>

When you edit the text in the inspector of the browser and remove the word "none", then you can edit your existing form. One thing you don't see, that are the existing answers of dropdowns and radiobuttons.
Unfortunately my knowledge is quite limited, so i have no idea, where is this possible to change this in the code.

Fixed with upcomming 2.0

Also from me: THANKS a lot for this great App!
Is it planned to add additional explanations to single questions?
For each question there is actually only a single line to describe the question and include explanations. It would be great if there was a second line or text field for additional explanations how to understand a question, what to fill in etc.

No idea! Search for existing issues and if there isn't any, create one! :)
Tanks for the kind words!! :hugs:
