How to create "rated" list?

[fabrikg09]

Is there a built-in method of creating a form field where the user must rate, for instance, a list of 5 elements, using perhaps numbers from 0 to 4?

Like this:

Please tell us your preferences on these foods (rate from a high of 4 to a low of 0):

<> Apples
<> Lobster
<> Carrots
<> Cereal
<> Squid

Each choice would require an entry of a single number, and no number could be used more than once. You see these types of form fields on survey forms.

TIA!

You could use a Rating, Slider, or Radiobutton. More info in the wiki: http://fabrikar.com/forums/index.php?wiki/element-plugins/

I think you would need to write some custom JS or a validation to make sure each number could only be used once.

That's it!

Thanks. I somehow didn't think of the other plugins that might be available. I tend to work with Fabrik on an "as-needed" basis, and it's been a while. Had really forgotten about the plugins as I am now working on a Joomla! 2.5 site, and hadn't uploaded anything but the basic Fabrik 3 install.

I got the updated plug-in files from GitHub, and used Extension/Discover to install, but despite the Installation Successful message, the new plugins do not appear on the list in the Joomla admin panels. I just uploaded the contents of the Fabrik plugins folder, and alo of its child folders.

What am I missing?

Did you enable the plugins after installing them?

You may need to do a full GitHub update instead of just picking and choosing plugins. I'm not sure how the dependencies work out. Or you could just download and install from here: http://fabrikar.com/downloads?resetfilters=0

Retried - success!

I tried the install a second time from the Discover pajnel - and this time it worked! Strange.

Thanks again for your help.
