WordPress Survey Plugin

WordPress Survey Plugin

Update: Compatibility issues with some server/PHP setups have been fixed! Our wordpress plug in is now PHP5+ compatible. Don’t forget to upgrade your install!

Overview


Version:
1.0.1 Download link: Download here

The SurveyGizmo plugin for WordPress gives you the best of both worlds. Use SurveyGizmo to build powerful, sophisticated and custom-styled surveys, but stay in WordPress to monitor responses. The plugin also makes it easy to quickly edit, preview, or grab your publishing links.

Requirements

  • A server supporting PHP, and CURL or fopen (note: works with Windows servers as of 1.0.1)
  • WordPress 2.0 (may work on 1.5)
  • A SurveyGizmo Account - Need one? Get it here free.
  • A SurveyGizmo User API key - You’ll find and activate your API key on your Account Page.

What can you do with SurveyGizmo and WordPress

  • Run everything from polls to multi-page surveys right from within your WordPress posts and pages
  • Build a custom and full-featured contact form or lead generation form for your “Contact Us” page
  • Take results from a survey/form and post them to another API, such as Constant Contact, Sales Force, Aweber, etc.
  • Basically, if you need a form on a web page, SurveyGizmo can help you build it

Installing

  1. Unzip the download and drop the “surveygizmo” folder in your plugin directory. Make sure to put the whole surveygizmo folder into the plugins directory — not the individual files.
  2. Activate the plugin on your admin plugins page, then add your API key to your
    WordPress Options->SurveyGizmo page
  3. You’re done! Visit your dashboard’s SurveyGizmo tab and monitor your surveys.

How to use

You can integrate surveys into your content in two ways.

  1. Insert the survey link and have surveys open in their own windows. Example link below:
    My Survey
  2. You can use the javascript embed link, which will dynamically insert the survey into your blog post or page.

<script language=”javascript” type=”text/javascript”></script>

Here are the detailed steps, if you’re into that sort of thing:

  1. Click the Create Survey Button from the dashboard (this will take you to the surveybuilder)
  2. Build your survey, add questions, and customize your look and feel
  3. Publish your survey - THIS IS AN IMPORTANT STEP TO ADD TO YOUR BLOG
  4. On the dashboard, click on the “Pub Links” for your survey to show the Survey Link and the JavaScript Embed Link
  5. Cut & Paste one of the Publish Links into the HTML of your WordPress page or post. IMPORTANT: You need to add the link/javascript to the plain text editor, not the rich text editor. So, if you have the Visual Rich Text Editor (the one that looks like MS Word and is turned on by default), temporarily disable the Rich Text Editor.Disabling the Rich Text Editor in WordPress 1.5 - 2.0: At the bottom of your profile page, uncheck the text box for Rich Text Editor and click Save.Disabling the Rich Text Editor in WordPress 2.1: From your page or post, click the tab that says Code and paste your link. Click Save.You may now switch back to Rich Text Editor.
  6. You’re done!

Example: An Embedded Survey

Go ahead and and try it. After submitting, you’ll stay right on this page.

Example: A Survey Link

Click here to take this survey

Styling your Survey

There is a lot of flexibility here. In SurveyGizmo, you can completely customize the survey template and embedded CSS stylesheet. Some designers prefer hosting a survey CSS stylesheet on their own server, and you can simply add a call to your stylesheet in the survey template.

If you are using the JS embed method to drop the survey in a post or page, you can also style the survey through your WordPress CSS. Embedded surveys are also wrapped in a <div> with a class of “sg_embeddedsurvey”. This is how I applied the border and blue background to the embedded survey above.

Please feel free to post comments here or email us at support@sgizmo.com if you have questions. Thanks.

Upgrading

The SurveyGizmo WordPress Plugin is self-aware when it comes to needing upgrades. When we release a new version, you will see a link on the Dashboard screen suggesting you update. Updates can be found on this page when available.

- 1.0.1 Added fopen for people who don’t have CURL and fixed a couple bugs

Contact form spam is a problem. I have embedded a Challenge Question in Ryan Duff’s Contact Form plugin to help eliminate the problem. You might want to do something similar.

Sat, Sep 23 5:20 pm SurveyGizmo Comment by Scott McDaniel

Hi Doug -

Thanks for your suggestion, but we I think we have that form of Spam covered.

If you use our tool as a contact form (see http://widgix.com/contact/) because it is embedded with javascript rather than directly on the page the spam bots and search engines don’t render the form and therefore can’t submit it.

Appreciate the suggestion though.


Sun, Sep 24 11:16 am Comment by HardinComp

When I activated the plugin and wen to the SurveyGizmo tab I got

Fatal error: Call to undefined function domxml_xmltree() in /var/www/vhosts/ydwblog.com/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/surveygizmo/surveygizmo.php on line 94

Does this mean I don’t have CURL support or is it something different? I’m running WP 2.0.4 with PHP version 5.1.4.


Mon, Sep 25 11:11 am Comment by Coyote

I’m very interested in this plugin, but unfortunately I’m using WP2.04 on a Windows/IIS server, so I guess that CURL thing is an issue.

Do you have any idea when you will provide a version which is compliant with a Windows/IIS server?

Mon, Sep 25 6:50 pm SurveyGizmo Comment by Scott McDaniel

Hi HardinComp & Coyote

HardinComp - the domxml is part of the base PHP installation, but it can be left out which is probably what is going on with your PHP. Since the data is returned in XML we really need to have that present.

Coyote - Similarly we need CURL to grab the XML content. But this one we think we may have a work around by providing an alternative with fopen . Most linux hosted environments have CURL and NOT fopen, so we went that route, but for Windows Servers the fopen may be a possibility. Look forward to that possibility in a later release.

Any one else on Windows want to second this vote?

Thanks
Scott

PS - Thanks to these two comments we have changed the requirements listed above.


Mon, Sep 25 7:15 pm Comment by HardinComp

Thanks for the response. I’ll check with my webhost about that.


Tue, Sep 26 4:19 pm SurveyGizmo Comment by Scott McDaniel

Coyote - We have added fopen to the plugin so iy ’should’ work for you now. Give it a try and let us know.


Thu, Sep 28 7:38 am Comment by Daniel

hi, when I enter the SurveyGizmo Dashboard, it told me that I entered the wrong API code.

“Error - Your user key may have been mis-typed.”

although I know there is no mis-typed API code since I copied and pasted it. I wonder what’s the error?


Thu, Sep 28 3:07 pm SurveyGizmo Comment by Scott McDaniel

Hi Daniel - Can you email me your account name and I’ll test your user key? support @ sgizmo.com

We’ll get you all sorted out - thanks.

Scott


Thu, Sep 28 8:25 pm Comment by Daniel

I already sent an email with my API key and account name. I hope you can figure out what’s happening.

Thank you

Daniel


Fri, Sep 29 1:01 pm Comment by CSaba

Hello, I like your plugin, but I can not use it. Here is the problem, when I click to surveygizmo from the dashboard: The requested URL /rolam/wp-admin/surveygizmo/surveygizmo-dashboard.php does not exist.


Fri, Sep 29 1:33 pm SurveyGizmo Comment by Scott

Hi - CSaba,

Can you tell me which link on which page got you to that page not found error?

The link to the dashboard should look more like this:

http://www.YOUR SITE.com/rolam/wp-admin/index.php?page=surveygizmo/surveygizmo-dashboard.php

I notice your WordPress installation is in directory of it’s own off the root, this is the first time I’ve run across this, but there shouldn’t be a problem. See if you can get to the SurveyGizmo plugin dashboard by typing the link above.


Wed, Oct 11 3:16 pm Comment by def

Hi!
Just fixed a small bug in version 1.0.1!
A debug flag was left behind!

file: surveygizmo.php
function sgizmo_fetch_surveys($options = “”)


if(extension_loaded(”curl”) && false == true) // ERROR HERE

false == true always evaluates to FALSE, so that IF won’t ever execute. Remove the “&& false == true” part. So it should read:

if(extension_loaded(”curl”))

Cheers,

David


Wed, Oct 11 3:55 pm SurveyGizmo Comment by christian

Thanks Def! We just uploaded a new version of the plugin that has this debug flag removed. Sorry about that everyone, we were under the impression that this had already been done!

HAPPY SURVEYING!


Sun, Oct 15 4:53 pm Comment by R

Can I keep the results of the survey private using this plugin?


Sun, Oct 15 5:25 pm SurveyGizmo Comment by Scott

Yes R - results are entirely private

Sat, Oct 28 1:58 pm Comment by Erik

Hi Scott,

Have been playing around with the free version for a few days, and am testing it to see how it integrates into a wordpress-based site. Am comparing this to some free poll plugins already out there for SG, as well as some commercial products (php Questionnaire jr by Chumpsoft) have some questions\comments:

- For Wordpress at least, I think all management should be done under the survey gizmo tab under options, not split between there and an additional tab in the dashboard area

- I’d like to know if you plan on add blocking repeat taking of surveys based on IP\Cookie. Note: I’ve tried many programs to date that have this function, but it seems to always work poorly.

- Pricing compared to other products seems very steep; there are many free plugins or scripts for “poll” applications, and I’ve seen other survey software ranging from $60 to $200 at the high end. I note that the personal edition (which has limited responses) is $168 per year and you don’t own the software nor do you have control over the database since you don’t host it.

Thanks,

Erik

- From SurveyGizmo

Hi Erik,

I hadn’t had a chance to respond (we’ve been swamped). I added my comments here so they would appear with yours.

- As for the two separate tabs we followed suite on how must plugin configuration screens have been handled. It seems pretty typical put the stuff you only have to configure once under the Options Section.

- Preventing multiple repeat surveys is a challenging problem. We have our version of this in development. It will be based on a cookie (IP address is too broad and could exclude everyone in a single company). We also plan to back it up with an option unique field like an email address. The cookie will catch most people before filling out the 2+ survey, but the email address acts like a second line of defense.

- Pricing comparison - First of all we do have a free version, after that we have several levels to suite different needs. Our software is a VERY full featured data collection tool that is well suited to handling high traffic sites with thousands of respondents per day. We also have lots of features many tools don’t like email-auto-repondents, email invitations, branching logic, A/B splits, outside API integration, etc. If you compare us to similarly powerful tools our pricing is bargain.

We’re always happy to answer questions or provide customizations. So just drop us a line if you’d like more info - support@sgizmo.com

Thanks and sorry again for the delay,
Scott

hi there,
using WP 2.03
uploaded the surveygizmo folder,
created an account,
got an API,
activated the plugin,
went to options,
got: Cannot load surveygizmo/surveygizmo-options.php
(similar from dashboard: Cannot load surveygizmo/surveygizmo-dashboard.php)

any guesses?

thanks,
Patti


Sun, Oct 29 10:17 am Comment by patti

hi there,
I solved the problem.
I had renamed the surveygizmo folder to SurveyGizmo.
(just some anal tendency I have;) )

all better now
thanks,

We have DOMXML as an installed option with out PHP server, but we also get the

Fatal error: Call to undefined function domxml_xmltree() in /usr/home/web/blog/wp-content/plugins/surveygizmo/surveygizmo.php on line 94

-error. What can be wrong?


Tue, Oct 31 11:49 am SurveyGizmo Comment by Scott

Hi Massimo -

Would you mind running a phpinfo() and emailing the results to support@sgizmo.com? We’ll see if we can help.


Tue, Nov 07 4:08 am Comment by harriscampbell

I’ve installed things as per the instructions and received the following error:
Warning: curl_setopt(): CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in /hsphere/local/home/funnelwe/smallbusinesslibrary.com.au/wp-content/plugins/surveygizmo/surveygizmo.php on line 66

My host doesn’t enable safe mode on php hosting.

Any ideas? I’d like to install the survey plugin for a customer of mine, so I need to sort this out.

Thanks heaps in advance,
Michelle


Sat, Nov 11 8:54 pm SurveyGizmo Comment by Scott

Hi Michelle sorry for the delay. Which version of WordPress are you using? We have had a couple reports of problems with the new 2.05.

You might also ask you host about their restrictions with using CURL. We know the plug in works successfully with many shared hosting plans for instance Bluehost and Media Temple.


Sun, Nov 12 3:22 am Comment by Bart Gragg

Can your software handle the questions i have on the input form (inactive) at http://www.holeinthewalldiner.com/input.htm?

I am looking for a resource to take the input and turn it into Posts as well as add it to a database that can then be utilized by MS Access or such.

Primarily into Posts for each input filled out, with the answers in a neat, concise manner within the Post, allowing readers to comment.


Wed, Nov 15 12:38 am Comment by harriscampbell

Yes, I’m running WP2.05. My host reckons they have CURL enabled.

I’ll check to see how it goes with the same host, using WP2.04.

cheers, Michelle


Thu, Nov 16 8:31 pm Comment by harriscampbell

I double-checked - I’m using WP2.04, not 2.05.

Hi

I have entered the API Key from my account several times but no action follows when I update.

Running WP2.01 on Tarski Theme.

Currently I am running the survey in a link.

Any help would be welcomed.

Mon, Dec 18 12:40 am Comment by Shane Lord

I’ve just tried to install this AddOn and I received this error pn the Dashboard/SurveyGizmo page:

Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be
activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in
/home/shaslor0/public_html/rorguild/wp-content/plugins/surveygizmo/surveygizmo.php
on line 66

Fatal error: Call to undefined function domxml_xmltree() in
/home/shaslor0/public_html/rorguild/wp-content/plugins/surveygizmo/surveygizmo.php
on line 94

I sent this error to my hosting provider and they have come back stating this:

“Sorry, we can’t disable open_basedir protection on the serve for security reason.”

What can I do?

Thanks,
Shane.


Mon, Dec 18 1:05 pm SurveyGizmo Comment by admin

Hi Shane -

Right now there isn’t a work around, because this is how we access your survey data xml feed. We are trying to come up with an alternate method for a future release. That said there are many hosts like BlueHost and MediaTemple that work without a problem.


Wed, Jan 10 12:51 pm SurveyGizmo Comment by christian

Just an update to everyone waiting on the new wordpress plugin. We will be releasing it before the end of the month — right after we roll out some new reporting features (which it relies on).

Cheers!

Is this plugin compatible with WordPress 2.1 ?


Fri, Mar 02 4:14 pm Comment by Troy

I am getting

Fatal error: Call to undefined function domxml_xmltree() in …/wp-content/plugins/surveygizmo/surveygizmo.php on line 94

I ran a phpInfo() on the site;
the server is running PHP Version 5.2.1
and DOM/XML is enabled
DOM/XML API Version 20031129
libxml Version 2.6.26
everywhere it lists XML as being enabled

any ideas on why I am getting this error?


Sat, Mar 03 11:19 pm Comment by delreal

I’ve tried to install the plugin looks great, but I just CAN’T ACTIVATE IT WITH API KEY in options it turns the same page, and in the dashborad i get:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function domxml_xmltree() in /home/.ellwood/turismo/turismointernacional.com.co/wp-content/plugins/surveygizmo/surveygizmo.php on line 94


Fri, Mar 09 5:54 pm Comment by Troy

My issue is not with the API key. Under Option > SurveyGizmo my API key is entered and saved correctly with no errors.

It is when I go to Dashboard > SurveyGizmo that I get the Fatal error: Call to undefined function domxml_xmltree()as listed above.

Can someone help with this? I am trying to get this installed on a site for a client.

Thanks.


Sat, Mar 10 10:49 am SurveyGizmo Comment by christian

Hi Troy,

That means you don’t have the DOMXML component in yoru php install. It was *supposed* to be supported in the newer installs of PHP 5 — but we are learnign differently now.

I am tweeking the code to use the PEAR xmltree library instead. I am in Austin at SxSW for the next few days — so I may not have this reacy until next thursday when I get back into the office.

Wed, Apr 11 10:10 pm Comment by Jaredude

I’m using Wordpress 2.0.5. Install of this plugin was a snap, and getting the first survey up on GadgetPanel.com was really easy. I love the domain feature too.

The had a few problems with entering the HTML. The form does not come out correctly. The javascript version seems to have problems with my WYSIWYG editor. The iFrame created some problems on pages with multiple entries. Everything after the iFrame would not show up.

I need to test more to see what might be causing the problems.

I like the plugin with Wordpress. Being able to look at the survey results in my own dashboard is really cool!


Thu, Apr 12 5:00 pm SurveyGizmo Comment by Scott

Hi Jaredude -

We have found the JavaScript method to be the most adaptable to different environments. If you disable your WYSIWYG editor add the Javascript and save the post. Then you can turn the editor back on.


Fri, Apr 13 12:04 pm Comment by Troy

What is the status of the PEAR xmltree library code tweak?


Mon, May 07 10:09 pm Comment by Jonathan Marston

Any updates on the plugin update?

I was very interested in using SurveyGizmo for a new site, but ran into the issue described above, getting “Fatal error: Call to undefined function domxml_xmltree()” even though my phpinfo() states that DOM/XML is enabled with api version 20031129. PHP version 5.2.1 is installed. It looks like you have a great product and I am very interested in deploying it, but I’m stuck. Thanks in advance for any help for making this work.

The WordPress plugin looks good but It’s not very encouraging that on your own site there is obvious comment spam like Liaisadag and Tredgethin.


Tue, Jul 31 8:51 am SurveyGizmo Comment by Christian Vanek

*Nod*

We use Akismet to catch most of our SPAM comments… but every so often it misses a post and we have to catch them later. It has been a few weeks since I last removed all the obvious spam. So I just did — thanks for the gentle prodding in that direction, Foli! :)

Fri, Sep 14 4:54 am Comment by DeuceD

hi,

i ‘ve installed and lunched a survey through your wordpress plugin embedding the survey in one of my static page

i use wordpress 2.2.3 with lots of other plugins and everything works great so far

survey is simple with only one page of questions

only bug (not exactly) i ve found so far is that in the survey page at about question 12 (of 25) all fonts (including my sidebar) gets bold and that shouldnt be.

i doublechecked the css but haven’t found anything so i guess it’s my theme css which may have caused it but i m not sure.

anyway this is minor and i still think that you guys did a GREAT PLUGIN!

maybe a next version would be able to include some stats in the sidebar like number of responses etc.

greetings from greece
Giorgos


Fri, Sep 14 4:57 am Comment by DeuceD

well its *launched* but english isnt my native lang :mrgreen:


Fri, Sep 14 8:04 am Comment by DeuceD

and there was no *bug*, just garbadge when editing the survey in wysiwyg area and was fixed when edited the survey and checked all question using the “source” button.

(and forgive me for the multiple comments)

thx again
Giorgos


Fri, Sep 14 9:04 am SurveyGizmo Comment by Christian Vanek

Giorgos,

Ah. That’s happened to a few customers now. We love the FCKEditor (the WYSIWYG text editor) but it does ocassionally mess up HTML. Then you get weird effects like this.

Hopefully it won’t happen to you again, but if it does please let us know.

Hi wiertnice,

Yes you can use SurveyGizmo to create any kind of questionnaire or web form. You can also send email auto-responders to users with SurveyGizmo Pro or higher account, at the Personal level you can sent auto-responders to yourself, and the Free plan does not have auto-responders.

Thanks

Mon, Nov 19 5:06 pm SurveyGizmo Comment by Christian Vanek

Hi Terry,

Can you tell me what Host you are using, also which version of wordpress?

The problem is with the plugin. It can’t figure out how to contact SurveyGizmo’s API so it says the key is bad. If you can send me the info it would be great. I’ll try to fix this soon.

Thu, Jan 31 3:00 pm SurveyGizmo Comment by cheri

The issue with the WordPress plugin has to do with the communication function it uses to communicate with the API. The API is not the problem.

The good news is, in mid-February, we hope to launch a new plugin or run a contest with a cash reward for someone to write a new plugin.

Sorry for the glitch.

Got the same problem with the API key. I was able to debug it and make it work by changing the $url in the surveygizmo.php, I replace https:// by http:// and it worked.

I kind of figured it out, when “wget”, would give me this warning:
Resolving http://www.surveygizmo.com… 216.150.9.227

Does anybody know if the plugin is compatible to Wordpress 2.5?

Thanks,
Eddie

Hi Eddie,
The SurveyGizmo Plugin generally doesn’t have any issues with any version of WordPress, but it does have some issues with PHP 5.

Our lead developer is currently working on updating the plugin.

Hope this helps,
Chad

Hi, great plugin, except I’m having the same problem others have had, the API isn’t working and I get the “typed incorrectly” warning.

Have tried on 2 different WP2.5 installs.
Changing https to http://didn‘t help.
My server is php5

thanks, Michael Sky

I’ve installed the plugin, entered the API, I can access the dashboard and all admin functions, but it kills the site with the following:

Warning: main(../wp-includes/class-snoopy.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /homepages/1/d95295039/htdocs/su610/wp-content/plugins/surveygizmo/surveygizmo.php on line 36

Hey Jay,

Quick question. Is your wp-includes off your website’s main directory? I fnot where is it.

The trouble is the plugin is looking for a file in what I thought was a standard location. But it appears to be slightly different.

You might try simply changing that line from :

include(”class-snoopy.php”);

to include(”class-snoopy.php”);

I’ll update the zip later today with a more ironclad method of sensing where that include is.

Thanks for telling me about the error.

That was weird. The wp-includes folder is in the main directory. I went in and manually entered the address for class-snoopy.php and now it works.

Must be they way my host serves it up.

Thanks for the reply.

UGH!!!

Now I get this error in the dashboard:

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: snoopy in /homepages/1/d95295039/htdocs/su610/wp-content/plugins/surveygizmo/surveygizmo.php on line 61

Do I need to manually enter the address somewhere else? I looked at line 61 which says:
$snoop = new Snoopy();

I’m not an expert at .php so I’m at a loss for what line 61 is trying to accomplish.

Christian,

I had the same trouble with the class-snoopy.php. I’ve ran into many ‘include’ headaches in my own projects and using the $_SERVER[’DOCUMENT_ROOT’] global has come in very useful. The problem is almost always that the include statement paths are relative to the currently executing script location, and not the included file location.

You may have already come up with this as a solution, and in fact you may have created a more intelligent routine already, but I’ve updated the code on my server, surveygizmo.php line 36 to read:

require_once( $_SERVER[’DOCUMENT_ROOT’].’/wp-includes/class-snoopy.php’);

Works great for a standard install. Hope it helps!

Josh

I’ve just installed the plugin to a fresh install of WP2.5.1 and as soon as i activate the plugin it blanks out my page - although the admin console still works normally. If you have a look at my page it comes up blank, and Firebug seems to tell me there is nothing on the page!
I’m a novice with php so if i’m doing something daft please let me know! If its not something i’ve done, could it be the server set-up? - my host has php5.2.5.

Hello,

I can’t activate the plugin. It says Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error…

Any idea?
