Re-ordering input fields in Feedbackform?

Post by andrewtf »

I've just created a very large survey-like form for a client. I've noticed that there are two input fields out of order, probably the result of user error, that I seem unable to re-order. I know that the little order changing arrows worked before, but definitely not now. Perhaps it's because of the length of the form? Short of rebuilding the who thing, which is really not very appealing right now, is there a way to get this to work? ???

Otherwise I think it's a great module!  :)

Sorry. It's a bug in the structure of Feedback Form that sometimes causes this.

I'm afraid the only way to fix it is to go into the database.  The table in question is cms_module_feedback_field -- the order_by attribute is the sequence that's used by the form (smaller numbers are higher up on the form).

If you have access directly or via phpMysqlAdmin or something, you can fix it.

Apologies for the bug. It's probably small comfort, but the structural reasons behind it are one of the reasons I'm creating FormBuilder from scratch rather than upgrading FeedbackForms. I should have a beta available in the next two weeks.


Thanks,

No worries... as long as there's a way to fix it through the database I should be good to go. I look forward to checking out FormBuilder beta when it's available.

Thanks!  :)

That was a pretty easy fix. Turned out several of the fields were assigned the same order_by value, which threw things off a bit. Thanks again.

I have the same problem with re-ordering, but i don't understand where exactly to do this?
Would someone be so nice and would tell me exactly what to do in the database?

THX!!!!
