userstudy – Parerga und Paralipomena http://www.michelepasin.org/blog At the core of all well-founded belief lies belief that is unfounded - Wittgenstein Thu, 03 Dec 2009 11:59:42 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.2.11 13825966 Creating Questionnaires with Django http://www.michelepasin.org/blog/2009/12/03/creating-questionnaires-with-django/ http://www.michelepasin.org/blog/2009/12/03/creating-questionnaires-with-django/#comments Thu, 03 Dec 2009 11:59:42 +0000 http://magicrebirth.wordpress.com/?p=450 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.
