DotNetNuke® Project :: Feedback Module

The Feedback Module is one that comes with the core DNN framework and can be used to get feedback from users about something on your website. In its most generic form, it can be used to provide a means by which a user on your website can ask you a question about anything.
This module has been in existence since the early days of Dotnetnuke (version 2x) and has steadily been upgraded with newer versions of DotNetNuke.
Feature List

  • Feedback posted by users is sent to an email address and is also saved to a table in your database.
  • Multiple Portals supported - for example on a site with multiple portals, users are not allowed to see Feedback that does not belong to that particular Portal (new in version 4.4.1)
  • Multiple options for Subjects - users can be allowed to enter any subject for the email that is generated when a feedback is entered or the administrator can setup a subject from the administrative side which will be sent as the subject of the email for the feedback.
  • Subject fields can now be presented to the user as a dropdown list and is handled similar to categories (new in version 4.4.1)
  • Feedback can be grouped into categories and this can be used to setup different View Feedback Comment controls which show feedback based on a specific category.
  • Feedback can be moderated - this means that any feedback that has been submitted will not be appear in the view feedback section till a Moderator has approved the post.
  • Email field to be validated before form is submitted to check for valid email addresses. (new in version 4.4.1)
  • Categories and Subjects can now be configured separately and has been migrated over from the generic Lists section of DotNetNuke which can only be administered by the Host. Site Administrators can now administer the Categories/Subjects at the module level. (new in version 4.4.1)
  • Categories and Subjects are set at the Portal Level - i.e. multiple Portals will have separate Categories and Subjects.(new in version 4.4.1)

 

 

 

 

RoadMap (Future Versions)
 

  • Track user statistics such as browser, IP address etc.
  • Ability to create multiple fields on the feedback form so that the Site Administrator can setup different questions which can be answered besides the generic one currently supported.
  • Ability to configure the View Feedback comments section and display different items. (new in version 4.4.2)
  • Ability to configure Moderation by roles so that different people besides the Site Administrator can approve/publish feedback comments.  (new in version 4.4.2)
  • Ability to delete unwanted feedback posts- previously user could only archive posts. (new in version 4.4.2)
  • Ability to setup categories as email addresses. Once these are setup as email addreses, the feedback submitted can go to multiple email addresses if the user chooses the specific category. (new in version 4.4.2)
  • Name of the sender is being saved with the feedback submitted.(new in version 4.4.2)

Feedback Module et al

Mar 26

Posted by: Sanjay Mehrotra
3/26/2007

Its now been a couple of weeks since version 4.4.1 of the feedback module has been released and with the exception of some bugs, I would say that overall, the release process went fine (unless others have some input on this).
I will start working on 4.4.2 very shortly here (hopefully start getting the feature set ready by mid week ) and then start figuring out what needs to be done in 4.4.2. I know I've received some requests from the core which include better administrative functionality (ie allowing others besides the site admin to moderate feedback posts) which will get added to 4.4.2.
This past week (March 19th) was also the birth of my baby boy :). I am now a proud dad and it's an exciting period for me personally. My wife and I have been eagerly waiting for this day and it is NOT easy to say the least. I'm still trying to figure out things like how to be able to function (workwise) after staying up all night holding your crying 1 week old baby...

I've also received some feedback on the open tickets on gemini for the feedback module and will be addressing those very shortly (hopefully by end of this week). I believe most of the open items are for issues from the previous 3x version of the feedback module which should no longer be valid in 4.4.1 but I will go over each item and see whether it is a valid issue or not.

Congrats Sanjay. I know what it is like to be a proud father myself. Thank you for including captcha. It was certainly needed. I was wondering if there is any way captcha can be role based?

Re: Feedback Module et al

Have you had any opportunity to implement the ability to add more fields to the form, like phone, etc.?? Really would save the trouble of implementing 3rd-party forms for such basic things as capturing phone number, etc. Thank you, Tom

DO we have any idea on timeframes for the next update?

Re: Feedback Module et al

This may not be the proper place but why is the Feedback module not included in the install files of DNN4.4.1 downloaded from www.dotnetnuke.com?

Feedback Module suggestions

Hi Sanjay,

First of all I would like to thank for the wonderful module... I have some suggestion...

1. It would be better if you are adding the feature that, one user can send a feedback only once, so that it can also be used as examination module.

2. If the user is logged in his email id would be shown Email-Id of feedback setting, option can be added to set hide the email-id box while sending the feedback, so as to avoid the user enter some invalid mail id to send a feedback.

Any way great work so far....
