Pandoras Box User Forum

Hi guys,

I need some help with a relatively straight forward project. I need to create two buttons in WD that allow users to vote whether they liked the event or not. I need WD to compile how many times each button is pressed, so at the end of the event I can hand the client a file that says "X number of people enjoyed the event, X number of people didn't".

Is there an easy way of doing this?

Hey,

There sure is!

1. Create two Integer Variables (using Tools > Variable List*), lets name them "good" and "bad"
2. Create two CustomScript Buttons, one for good and one for bad. The script for the good button is

Code: Select all

good+=1

and for the bad

Code: Select all

bad+=1

3. You could create a Label to display, just tick Variable Source and type either "good" or "bad".
4. Create a textbox (maybe on a hidden/different page)
Everytime you want to store your results you can run something like this

Code: Select all

' Start with a clean box
WDTextBoxClear,1
' Write the information
WDTextBoxAppend,1,good
WDTextBoxAppend,1, liked your event
WDTextBoxNewLine,1
WDTextBoxAppend,1,bad
WDTextBoxAppend,1, did not

' Reset Variables
good=0
bad=0

' Store to txt file
' I don't know the command right now, but there is a "save textbox to file" script...

* PRO only feature. You can create variables in STD via script as well. For that create a custom script button and put in its "Click Script"

Code: Select all

VInt,good,0
VInt,bad,0

Dennis, you are awesome. That works like a charm! Thanks!
