ArchSurvey

A through-the-web-editable Survey type.

Project Description

This product creates user-editable surveys.

Architecture

This product makes heavy use of Archetypes:

• It is a very simple archetype.
• It contains "Questions" which are archetypes.
• Each Question creates an archetypes Field with dummy storage (actual storage is handled by the Question), but real Widget and real Validators.  When a user takes the survey, it is these Fields which are rendered, and these fields which validate the answer.

Extending this product

It has a variety of question-types (short answer, long answer, pick-one, pick-many, date/time, etc.), and it is very easy to make new question types based on existing Archetypes fields.

Credits

The software could not have happened if not for the great people behind Archetypes, Plone, CMF, and Zope.  Some of their templates especially (Archetypes') have been adapted.  Eric Castelijn of Infrae has provided internationalization and Dutch localization.  The rest by Dan Keshet.
