silverstripe-pagefeedback

This module allows you to add a form to any page type for the purpose of accruing feedback about how a user perceives that page.

Commonly found on help desk pages under a label similar to "How helpful did you find this page?".

It allows the user to rate the page out of five (5) and allows them to optionally provide a comment

The users IP address and their PHP Session ID is recorded on a per-page basis so that a user can only submit feedback once for that specific page.

Requirements

• silverstripe/cms: "^4.0"

Installation

Installation is supported via composer only:

composer require vulcandigital/silverstripe-pagefeedback "^2"

Configuration

  extensions:
    - Vulcan\PageFeedback\Extensions\PageFeedbackExtensions

  extensions:
    - Vulcan\PageFeedback\Extensions\PageFeedbackControllerExtensions

or for a specific page type

  extensions:
    - Vulcan\PageFeedback\Extensions\PageFeedbackExtension

Vulcan\UserDocs\UserDocsPageController:
  extensions:
    - Vulcan\PageFeedback\Extensions\PageFeedbackControllerExtensions

Modes

By default, the mode is set to "form" which will generate a form allowing a user to rate between 1-5 and optionally provide a comment An alternate mode, "thumbs" is available which will generate a form containing two buttons +1 and -1, which can be beautifully styled:

You can change the mode via YML on the controllers of the pages you desire

Vulcan\UserDocs\UserDocsPageController:
    pagefeedback_mode: "thumbs"

Adding the form

In order for the form to show you will need to add $PageFeedbackForm into your template, in the location you wish for it to display.

e.g.

<div id='myfeedbackform'>
    $PageFeedbackForm
</div>

If you wish to hide the form if feedback has already been supplied by the user:

<% if not $GivenFeedback %>
<div id='myfeedbackform'>
    $PageFeedbackForm
</div>
<% end_if %>

If you wish to display information about the feedback the user has provided:

<% if $GivenFeedback %>
    <% with $GivenFeedback %>
    <div id='myprovidedfeedback'>
        <% if not $Rating %>
            Rating: $Rating<br/>
            Comment: $Comment
        <% else %>
            You gave this page a thumbs <strong>$Thumbs</strong>
        <% end_if %>
    </div>
    <% end_with %>
<% end_if %>

Features

• Adds a "Page Rating" section to the CMS Page Editor
• Adds a "Page Feedback" tab containing a GridField of all feedback for that specific page

Inspiration

The form is provided to you unstyled, but each of the five radio buttons on the form have a class of pagefeedback-option-n where n is 1 through to 5 for easier customisation (ie swap the radio buttons with smiley faces that have different expressions; sad through to happy)
