Hi there. I’d like to know if it is possible to combine the anwsers in a individual radar chart?
Example: Question 1: What do you like the most? a) Apple, b) Potato, c) Pineapple
Question 2: What do you eat most? a) Salad, b) Tomato, c) Banana
And the radar chart should display the individual score like: Vegetables: 2, Fruit: 0
Is this possble?
Thnx, Leon
Hello Leon,
Sure, you have to create categories to summarize the answers and display the chart by categories. Simply add the category name in brackets right after the answer text:
Example: Question 1: What do you like the most? a) Apple [Fruit], b) Potato [Vegetables], c) Pineapple [Fruit]
Then assign score 1 to all answers and use the data=”score” in the shortcode, like:
[survey_answers id="12345" data="score" style="radarchart" uid="true"]
Best regards,
Pantherius
Hi Pantherius.
Thnx for your reply. I see that the anwsers are combined, but in the radar chart I see the categories (fruit and vegetable) but also the 3 questions. How can I exclude the questions from the chart and only show the categories?
Oh, and when I open the page in a new browser, it doesn’t show the question form but it shows the chart. What am I doing wrong here? I’ve followed the steps I’ve found in your FAQ. I’ve also cleared the cookies.
This is the shortcode I’m using:[survey_answers id="832901633" data="score" style="radarchart" uid="true"]Thnx! Leon
Simply add a minus sign in brackets:
Question 1: What do you like the most? [-]
The shortcode you using display the results only. You need to include another shortcode to display the survey itself or set it to Global Survey (automatically displayed on all pages).
This is the survey shortcode: [modalsurvey id=”832901633”]
Embed mode: [modalsurvey id=”832901633” style=”flat”]
If the survey still doesn’t appear, please double check the ‘Display once per Filled Out’ and ‘Display once per User’ options are turned OFF in the General Settings, then reset the survey on the survey edit screen and try again.
Best regards,
Pantherius
You are awesome! 
It is working perfectly now!
Did I missed the [-] in the FAQ or docs?
Thnx, Leon
Great to hear that!
Unfortunately, there are so much new features and I didn’t have time enough yet to completely update the documentation with all of these new possibilities.
Regards,
Pantherius
Short in time, I know the feeling…
Last question, is it possible to style the header seperately from the questions? E.g. a red bg for the question and orange bg for the anwsers?
Thnx, Leon
I guess, it’s more important to add a feature than write about it.
It can be done with some custom CSS code, that can be added to the plugin’s Custom CSS page under the Modal Survey admin navigation menu:
.survey_question {
background: #fc0303 !important;
}
The general background (questions+answers) can be set on the survey edit screen, this modification overwrite the questions’ background color.
The option to set different background color for the questions with color picker is already on my TODO list, hopefully will be added in any of the upcoming releases.

Hi Pantherius.
I’d like to know if it is possible to show the grouped score (see first thread) as text instead of a chart. Now I use this what is working great. But I’d like to show it as text (ul li).
[survey_answers id=”12345” data=”score” style=”radarchart” uid=”true”]
Thnx!
Hello Leon,
Yes, you can display the category score in plain text format with the following type of shortcode:
[survey_answers id=”12345” style=”plain” data=”score” qid=”vegetables” uid=”true”]
Simply specify the category name in the qid parameter. Please don’t forget to replace the id with your own survey id.
Best regards,
Pantherius
Hi Pantherius. Thank you for your quick reply!
Grat to hear that it is possible. Now it shows the score as numbers, but is it possible to show it as percentage?
Thnx,
Leon
You’re welcome!
Displaying the category result by percentage is not a feature at the moment. You can display the overall score with percentage only in text format:
[survey_answers id=”12345” data=”score” style=”plain” uid=”true” max=”500” session=”last”]
In this case, you need to specify the maximum score, that can be achieved in the survey.
By the way, displaying the category percentage is quite good idea, just added it to my TODO list.
Regards,
Pantherius
Hi Pantherius. I’m full of good ideas!
I’ve used this code but it shows only a 0.
[survey_answers id=”xxxxxxxxxxxxx” data=”score” style=”plain” uid=”true” max=”16” session=”last”]
What am I doing wrong here?
Thnx,
Leon
Great to hear that!
Did you already complete the survey?
Did you assign scores to all answers?
Please also check the Remember Users option is turned ON in the General Settings.
Best regards,
Pantherius
Do you have the latest version installed? (1.9.7.1)
Hi there.
I do now. And checked every anwser, they have all value 1. Tried it also in a fresh browser but now I see nothing, no 0.
?
Please double check the category name in the qid parameter (capitals,spaces, etc.)
If the issue still exists, please send me your website URL with login details via my profile page mail sender and I’m happy to check it!
Regards,
Pantherius
Just send you an email…
Just got it and already checked your website. First of all, I’ve completed the survey, then the browser redirected to the result page, that displayed the category scores correctly for me.
Please complete the survey again, then check the result page.
By the way, I recommend you to update your current WordPress version from 4.5.4 to 4.6.1
Best regards,
Pantherius
Hi Pantherius.
Thnx for checking! Updating WP is something an other company will do. Thnx for the tip.
Did I misunderstood you? I do see the results correct, but they are the numbers of anwsers but not percentages. I thought you said it was possible with the max=”16”.
I guess, yes:
Displaying the category result by percentage is not a feature at the moment. You can display the overall score with percentage only in text format: [survey_answers id=”12345” data=”score” style=”plain” uid=”true” max=”500” session=”last”]
That means, the max parameter can be used to display the total scores in percentage. Displaying the category percentage is not possible at the moment yet.
Regards,
Pantherius
So this will display the total scores in percentage:
[survey_answers id=”12345” data=”score” style=”plain” uid=”true” max=”500” session=”last”]
This will display the category score (NOT as percentage):
[survey_answers id=”12345” style=”plain” data=”score” qid=”vegetables” uid=”true”]
However, you combined the two shortcodes, that is not a feature yet. By the way, that will be the right method when it will be available.
Ah, clear now!
Thnx for your help!
You’re welcome!
Hi Pantherius. Good to hear that you are a busy person!
I’ll check the updates from now on! Thnx.
Sometimes it’s good, sometimes not.
I’ll keep your request in my mind, hopefully will be added soon!
You’re welcome!

Pantherius
Hi Pantherius.
Because what I want is not possible yet, my client likes another approach of the results. Is it possible to show the final_score as plain text? My anwsers havse all different values and I’d like the total sum of the choosen anwsers.
Is that possible?
Thnx,
Leon
Hello Leon,
Sure, it has been already mentioned in one my previous comment in this thread. This will display the total score:
[survey_answers id=”12345” data=”score” style=”plain” uid=”true” session=”last”]
The following shortcode display the total score in percentage:
[survey_answers id=”12345” data=”score” style=”plain” uid=”true” max=”500” session=”last”]
The category percentage has been already added to my local version, so it will be available in the next release.
Best regards,
Pantherius
Hi Pantherius. I tried that but I don’t get a number as a result. It is blank.
By the way, to show the results by categories is no more. I now like to show the sum of all the anwsers combined, the final score.
In the settings the 2 Display once-buttons are off.Please send me your website URL with login details and I’m happy to check it. The URL doesn’t work, that you previously sent me.
Regards,
Pantherius
Hi Pantherius.
I figured it out. There were still some [ – ] at the end of the questions from my previous survey. When I removed them it was showing the final score.
Thnx, Leon
Hi Leon,
Great to hear that, it has been solved.
Thanks for letting me know!

Hello,
Can I give the survey to specific buddypress group?
Thanks!
Hello,
However, BuddyPress is not supported at the moment, if you can use any plugin’s shortcodes there, then the survey can be also displayed via shortcode.
Best regards,
Pantherius
Hello, Thanks for the response!
But how can I specify it to the members of a group? Please consider this to your future updates
But overall the plugin is great!
You’re welcome!
Currently, it can be limited to members or visitors only, therefore displaying the survey to a specific group is not possible without code customization.
Thanks for the kind words and the suggestion, I’ll considering to add it to the TODO list.
Regards,
Pantherius
Hi, My survey is embeded in a post and only has 5 questions so I want it to show all the questions at the same time. In a comment you say this is posible but I can’t find the solution, how can I do that?
Thanks.
Hello,
Just add display=”all” to the shortcode:
[modalsurvey id="121234344" style="flat" display="all"]
Best regards,

Hi, interesting to buy it, i have 1 question : Is it possible to ask for example 10 questions : and i want to calculate the number of YES ,,, and if they are 1 to 4 YES, i display this answer, 4 to 7 another answer, and 7 to 10 another one. thanks a lot
Hello,
You can assign scores to each answers, then display a message at the end based on the scores. It is also possible to set the ‘YES’ answers as correct answer, then display different messages at the end of the survey based on the number of correct answers.
Best regards,
Pantherius
Hi,
The modal survey is great.
Is there a way to leave an area for the participant to reply in or type answer instead of selecting answer.
With Regards,

Hello,
Thank you!
You can add open text answer by clicking on the green icon with cursor next to the normal answer.

I had a presales question. I would like to do a consumer survey, but populate it with already known data such as the person’s eye color or gender, without having to ask them again (this is an example). Also, would like to execute php code based on survey flow – does a hook fire at the end which can pass all the survey data to do some actions? Would like to update the postmeta based on the answers. This would require custom coding i’m sure, just wondering how well your plugin has hooks and the capabilities for this kind of thing.
Hello,
The plugin doesn’t provide any option to extend it with hooks, by default. That doesn’t mean, it is not possible, just need further development.
There is an option to display the survey for members only, in this case the username will be also recorded with the answers. If you already saved the further details to the profile, such as person’s eye, color and gender, then you can get all these data with a single MySql query.
As you mentioned, updating the post meta based on the answers needs custom coding as well.
Sorry, there is no best answer for your question. The fact, the plugin how well performing for custom development is depends on the exact plans and the developer skills as well.
Best regards,
Pantherius
Thanks for a great plugin! I’m working on final touches – is there a way to turn off the animation or just do a fade instead of the motion? Best, Allison
Hello,
Thank you, happy to hear that you like the plugin.
Fading animation is not a feature at the moment, but you can change the animation time to 0sec. Just click on the value and manually enter the desired value including ‘sec’, then save.

Pantherius
Can I answer the survey with 2 or more answer?
Hello,
Yes, it is possible to setting up the plugin to accept multiple answer selections.

Hey, can you compare the survey results of two specific users? I want to create a survey that shows the similarities and differences between couples, and to be able to analyse their results. Is that possible with this system?
Hello,
However, it is not possible to display two individual results on the same chart at the moment, you can display as many individual chart on the same page. That means, you can display the two individual person’s result next to each other to compare them by their ID.
At the moment, the plugin support to display the individual and the cumulative result on the same chart, that is a great way to compare the individual participant’s result with the aggregated one.
Best regards,
Pantherius
Hi Pantherius,
I have a pre sale questions. I’ll do two or more poll. Can I show the second or other poll depending of result of the first poll?
Thanks in advance
Hello,
Yes, you can redirect the browser based on the first survey result to different pages. That means:
Page A -> Survey 1
Page B -> Survey 2
Page C -> Survey 3
Then redirect to Page B or Page C based on the Survey 1 result.
Best regads,
Pantherius
Great!
Really grateful.
You’re welcome!

Any plans for allowing the ability to more customize the pdf creation – both from the participant view and the automatic end of survey creation – like adding graphs to the auto pdf that can sent to an email after a survey is completed? – the format with only one question per page is a little bad making it very long with only a couple lines at the top of each page – if you did that it’d have been better to also include a graph for each question to use up the space. – is there a way to customize this more that i’m not seeing in the doc?
The plugin allows you to add unlimited answers to each questions, it is the reason each question displayed on a new page in the PDF. Due to the unknown number of answers, it is not possible to create a PDF template for low and high number of answers as well. The PDF creation can be customized in a separated file in the modules/export_pdf.php
However, the chart can be added on the admin export, due to the technical reasons, it is not possible to add it to the email attachment PDF at the moment.
I’ll considering to find out a way, how can the chart added to the email PDF as well. By the way, you can also create a page with the result and charts, then the auto-response email could contain a lint to that page. There are many plugins released, that convert a page to PDF or any other format. This way, the users can reach their results anytime and also get the ability to export it on your result page. Furthermore, you will get more visits on your website with this method.
Regards,
Pantherius
Thanks for the reply – maybe a simple way to do it would be to add a customization to the pdf export where you can select how many answers to show on the pdf and how many answers per page?
Any plans to add the ability to have cumulative graphs with each question on the pdf export? I like the overall graph you can add at the top of the pdf from the admin export, but would like them for each question or category if it was appropriate to the type of graph – or a graph of the comparison of that person vs the average of other users answers? maybe this isn’t that big of a deal – but if there was an interface to choose – or documentation to help customize stuff like font/logo, and what data to include in the admin-export pdf, that’d be awesome. I ‘m having issues getting the same graph from the admin pages to show up with results shortcodes, which is why i feel the -go-to-webpage version of this isn’t working. can I make those same graphs show up in a results page?
Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll considering to add this as a feature.
The individual and cumulated result can be displayed on the same chart via shortcode to compare them. Simply add compare=”true” to the result shortcode.
Could you describe what kind of difficulties do you have with displaying the chart via shortcode? What shortcode you trying to use?
If you using score, then the following shortcode show the cumulated pie chart:
[survey_answers id="1111111" style="piechart" data="score"]
If you would like to display the individual chart, then:
[survey_answers id="1111111" style="piechart" data="score" uid="true"]
Please replace the id with your own survey ID.

Pantherius
is there a way to use more than one category indicator per question? I guess what I’m looking for is- a long survey of 50 questions that is subgrouped into 4 major categories – i want to see graphs of each category by itself (questions 1-12 have their graph) and then also a graph with only the 4 categories on the graph (questions one through 50) – Can this be done?
so another way of putting the question would be – can I have a 50 question survey and create a graph of only questions 1-12 – and then can I have custom titles in that as well as the bigger categories. The questions are long.
You can specify categories in brackets right after the question or answer text, then assign scores to the answers. As a result, you can display the category score chart using data=”score” in the result shortcode.
The titles will be the category names. Furthermore, it is also possible to add titles=”title1,title2,title3” in the result shortcode. Adding more than one category to the same question / answer is not a feature at the moment.
If you would like to display normal charts (not based on the scores), simply use data=”question” with qid=”1” (the question number), that will display the specified question chart only.
Hope these information helps you!

Pantherius
Is adding multiple categories on the to-do list for feature development? Is that hard to pull off? If you could put one question in multiple categories you’d jump the possible complexity of the apps ability by a huge stride because you could create a number of different scoring techniques and arrangements to easily breakdown a long survey into several boxes – personality tests that accurate take into account how some questions speak to multiple factors and business/marketing surveys both need this to be useful at a higher level. hope you consider or give me a hint to how to develop it myself into your app. thanks!
Recently, I decided to add a feature, that allows to categorize the answers as well. (with the same method, simply add the category name in brackets right after the answer text) It is provides almost the same possibilities, like multiple categories. However, adding multiple question or answer categories is already on my TODO list for further consideration, that will makes the plugin more complex. This complexity sometimes confusing the clients, so I have to find out the best way to implement this feature. Therefore, I can’t give you any confirmation or estimation about this option.
Best regards,
Pantherius
Great news! thanks – excited for it

Is there a way to create a results graph with only some of the results? like show a radar graph with only 3 of the 8 categories to show how those 3 look? can you do a results graph of answer categories that only has answer categories and not any of the categories from the questions?
However, you can exclude answers or questions from the chart with adding the minus sign in brackets right after the question / answer text, it is not possible to create a chart from specified categories only at the moment.
Best regards,
Pantherius
could you show me an example of how to do that? what would the shortcode look like?
It’s not in the shortcode, as I mentioned in the previous comment, you can simply add the minus sign in brackets right after the question text, like:
Question: Do you like this website? [-]

Pantherius
I have a pre-sales question. We are interested in your plug-in to help our customers configure the right product for them. First, there is an initial question with two choices (all graphical with images). Depending on their choice, a different screen would display for the next question. One of these might have 5 options, the other just three. And so on. So the next question sets are always different based on the previous answer. Finally, based on all the choices they made throughout, they would arrive at a final configuration. Based on this information we would send them to different URL’s in our online store where a pre-packaged configuration would be presented to them. Is this possible? Thanks
Hello,
Yes, it is possible to redirect the survey to a specified question, based on the previous answer. You can also create categories from the answers, assign scores and redirect the browser at the end of the survey to different URLs, based on the category scores.
Best regards,
Pantherius
Wonderful! That’s great. I will buy shortly!

The background color picker won’t open for me in Safari or Chrome – stuck with the default fade – seems like a bug – any workarounds? – the other color pikers pop-up and work normally.
Hello,
Probably, it is a conflict with any other plugin on your admin. Please deactivate temporary all other plugins, except Modal Survey, then try out again. If it works, then you can activate back the plugins one-by-one to see which one causing the problem. It can be also caused by the theme, you can check it with temporary switching to any other one.
In case the issue still exists, please send me your website URL with login details via my profile page mail sender and I’m happy to take a look.

I’m curious… I just purchased this (under a different profile) and I am a bit concerned. I’d rather not have all of the scripts and extraneous connection loading every page of the site all of the time, regardless whether I’m actually running a poll or not. Is there any way to strip this down to use only in a custom category template? Or maybe deactivate on everywhere except posts that call the shortcode?
Hello,
WordPress includes the JavaScript files before processing the shortcodes, therefore it is not possible to implement the required files depending on the shortcode has been used or not. Furthermore, the plugin can be used without shortcode (global survey) as well.
The total size of the plugin files on the frontend is below 100Kb, so it is really lightweight and doesn’t causing performance issues.
Best regards,
Pantherius
I am looking for survey plugin and this seems to have most of the features I want but I have a question.
Is there a way to compare two results? For example, my result against another person’s results?
Looking forward to your reply. Thanks.
Hello,
At the moment, you can compare the individual person result with the cumulated result on the same chart. Comparing two individual participants result on the same chart is not a feature at the moment. Certainly, you can display as many results / charts as you wish, therefore it is possible to include different results on the same page.

I have few questions be4 purchase, Is it possible to insert “Specify Custom Message” between questions (not only at the end)? Is it possible to send survey results to specific email address by survey score automatically?
Hello,
Sorry, custom message between the questions is not a feature at the moment. Yes, you can specify the admin email address, that will get a message with the result PDF about each survey completions.

Hi , I would like to know how can I access to the current user score in the current survey. I want to edit one function inside the code to send the email with pdf only if the someone has a score higher than 100. and if it is lower to redirect to a page. I mean, I want to send the email pdf with the answer only if score is higher than 100. and i am trying for the coding. I want to edit exactly the function add_localization( $ma ) on file modal_survey.php. Please Help me
Hello,
Did you already purchase the plugin?
Regards,
Pantherius
yes of course,. I don’t find any documentation for developers
Sorry, but I didn’t see you already purchased the plugin. Probably, you did it with a different profile. Could you send me your purchase code via my profile page mail sender, please?
The PDF attachment can be sent with adding the [attachment] smart tag to the auto-response body. If you would like to send it only, when the total score higher than 100, then open the settings.php on line 832:
if ( strpos( $content, '[attachment]' ) !== false ) {
then modify it to:
if ( strpos( $content, '[attachment]' ) !== false && totalscore >= 100 ) {
The redirection can be added on the survey edit screen with a simple condition.
The add_localization function in completely unrelated with your request, therefore you don’t need to modify that function.

Pantherius
Hi! Pre-sale question… (sorry, I know you get a lot of these)... I’m looking for a very simple survey for my customers to self-select the right product for them. For simplicity’s sake, I’ve broken it down into a flowcart of three questions… based on people’s answers, they would wind up at a different recommended product. Is this possible with your plugin?
Hello,
Yes, you can assign scores to the answers, then redirect the browser to a specific page or display a message based on the total score or category score.
Best regards,
Pantherius
Hi
This is a pre-sale question. I need to publish a survey with skip logic to terminate the survey if a user does not qualify. After that, I need to collect all the information of the user using custom fields. Do you have this feature?
Hello,
The skip logic is available in the plugin, but you can ask for the name and email address of the participant only at the moment. Alternatively, it is also possible to redirect the browser to a specific page, that contains a custom form by any 3rd party plugin. This way, the results and the form data won’t be linked.
Best regards,
Pantherius
