Creating Questionnaires with Django


Simple and useful application from Aperte: Django Questionnaire. The Django Questionnaire app allows you to easily set up a working questionnaire, complete with email-invitations and CSV export functionality. This app allows you to spread your questions over multiple pages (categories), and currently supports 4 types of answers.

The application is pretty simple and well designed. Useful for doing large user-studies, for example. The download page lets you have it packaged as a django project, but transforming it into a reusable app is not too difficult (I've done that but I'm not posting it here because of several other little hacks I had to do so to accommodate the project I'm using the questionnaire for).

Tip: if you're using django 1.1 one little thing that might help you get going quickly is changing these lines of templates/admin/admin_index.html:

{% block stylesheet %}{% load adminmedia %}{% admin_media_prefix %}css/dashboard.css{% endblock %}

..with this:

{% block extrastyle %}{{ block.super }}
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% load adminmedia %}
{% admin_media_prefix %}css/dashboard.css" />
{% endblock %}

By the way, if you don't feel like setting up the questionnaire yourself you can easily create one on Pervidet.com, which is (I assume) managed by the guys at Aperte.
