Frontend Editing: rating/voting

A couple of questions if you could kindly reply ASAP:

1. Can Chronoforms be setup to include in every article? Manually or automatically?
2. At frontend, can Chronoforms show all the submitted forms of that specific article only to the admin groups or be shown to specific users in the frontend, preferably under that article?
3. Can Chronoforms use JCK Editor in the text area with upload function?
4. Can the admin group or the specific user (assigned at 2) rate the submitted forms and vote?

and lastly,
5. Can the users (jomsocial) be allowed to post only once?

Hi nikita.gupta,

1. Can Chronoforms be setup to include in every article? Manually or automatically?

Manually yes, automatically no - though there may be some other Joomla! plug-in that would do that.

2. At frontend, can Chronoforms show all the submitted forms of that specific article only to the admin groups or be shown to specific users in the frontend, preferably under that article?

Yes, that would need either a second form or a more sophisticated form that checked the user and displayed different content to those users.

3. Can Chronoforms use JCK Editor in the text area with upload function?

I think that it will use the currently set default editor for the site. The FAQ editor here (which you can't see) is using the JCK editor so it must be possible.

4. Can the admin group or the specific user (assigned at 2) rate the submitted forms and vote?

It I understand correctly this is now showing a list of form results and allowing the user to select one or more - or to give some kind of grading??? Yes that's possible but will take some custom coding to do, it's not a simple task.

5. Can the users (jomsocial) be allowed to post only once?

Provided that users are logged in you could check their ID against saved record of posts and block them if a record is found (or at least show them a message instead of the posting form).

WOW.. looks like this might be what i'm looking for. thanks for the reply🙂

Quickly two more questions if you please:

1. Is it possibly to have a "Save as Draft" functionality?
2. Can you do custom coding (for points 4 & 5) and what's the charge per hour?

Thanks.

Hi nikita.gupta,

Save as draft - yes I think so. You can certainly save a record and add 'draft' into a status column in the table. Then of course you have to code around this depending on what the process flow is.

Max and I both do some private work. You can contact me by PM or email, or Max through the Contact Us link above. Difficult to quote rates - my posted rate is $125 an hour, minimum $100 for creating a simple form - but in reality I usually quote for a project and the effective rates are much lower.

Thank you for the reply. I'll play around with the form a little and get back to you within the next 2 days time.

I've played around with this form a few years ago but haven't got the time to do so lately. Thanks again.
