I installed the Surveys plugin from the Discourse repo ( discourse/discourse-surveys (github.com) ) but can’t figure out how to actually use it. There also doesn’t appear to be any documentation for it here on Meta. Any tips?

Currently there is no interface to view survey results. I did write some data explorer queries to view survey results. I’ll dig those up and post them along with documentation sometime next week.

@techAPJ can you shed some light on this plugin please :slight_smile:

The Surveys plugin was written for a customer with their specific use case in mind. I do not have a documentation handy. Will try to write one next week.

@techAPJ Thanks! Could you at least point out how I can even use it? Is there a particular button, menu, markdown code, etc… that allows you to use it? I can’t find anything to even tinker with.

Here’s a basic survey markdown with all available fields: [survey name="awesome-survey-thumbs" title="Awesome Survey"] [radio question="Choose any one option:"] - cat - dog [/radio] [checkbox question="Choose multiple options:"] - red - blue - green [/checkbox] [dropdown question="Gender:"] - Ma…

Thanks! Very cool! Where can I see the results? The survey creator (an admin user) only sees the following after submission by a couple users. [image] It would also be useful if survey responders could see the results as well.

ah ok. Thanks. I look forward to seeing the docs! Moreover, if you’re ever able to create some sort of front-end display/interface, that would be fantastic! Until then, I suspect I and most people will have to stick to Polls

You can also use the Custom Wizard plugin for surveys plus more.

Woah, i had no idea that existed. That looks very cool. Its not clear to me how this would provide survey capabilities, but I could definitely make use of it for other things.

You simply use it to ask questions, with most HTML survey stuff supported. The data is collected nicely as a .csv that you can then mess with as much as you like. You can force it upon users (if you wish) or target it nicely. There is quite a learning curve though.

Thanks very much. I’ll put it on the backburner for now, but good to know it exists!
