Hello All:
Has anyone used the new mod Quick Question? Well, at my site, http://www.gzws.com on any page BUT the home page you will see that mod, but when you submit the question it does not seem to be working properly.

Has anyone gotten this or tried this mod out?

thanks in advance.

I am the author. I have some other bugs reported already.

Please mail me the specific details (myportal@ffkijken.com).

I will release an update in a few days and I still need some testers. Let me know if you're interested.

Hello I am also having problems - it has to do with fopen and the log.txt file. The application attempts to save this file in the module directory which you do not want writable. Perhaps the code should point elsewhere.

Is there an update coming - this is a great little mod.

Well, I got it working when I CHMODed the directory to 755. Just the file not the whole mod directory.
Thanks for the reply though.

Did you have to create the quickQuestionLog.txt file? I created this and put it in the module director, CHMOD'd it to 755 and even 777 and I still get the fopen errors. Failed to open stream - permission denied. From lines 46-48 in the sendform php file.

Any ideas?

I just installed it on another site and got those errors again after CHMOd. I am lost now. I thought that was the fix...guess not.

Sorry.

A quick fix for this is just to delete the lines (46-48):

$handle = fopen ($LOGFILE, "a+");
fwrite($handle, $string);
fclose($handle);

from mod_quick_question_sendform.php

You won't have a text log file of the questions, but you could always save them in your email or print them, etc.

Turns out, this is what it all was. Make sure you are installing the latest version of this mod. Not sure if it's .9 or 1.0 but one of them is the latest. Then CHMOD the file, not the directory, to 755 and all will work. At least that's what did for me. I was using the wrong version.

Hope this helps you all.

Could I make a suggestion for an enhancement?
QuickQuestion works fine, but I'm only using it for registered users (whi must supply a valid email address). It would be really handy to know who asked the question, so I could email a reply.

If someone has already doen this, please could you let me know how!

Thanks.

I have the same need - it would be nice to have an email field for the user to enter his email address so that we can send a direct reply to him.
