Looking for Customization

I know there probably is a better place to post this, but I am looking for a customization that I will probably want to use in 7 as I assume once I will be using this, 7 Final will be out.

I have a custom option for members to choose when they sign up (where they heard about the site) What I need is a script that will count the number of each option, how many times it is chosen on signups.

So if there is a field on signup that says:

How Did you hear about us?

-Option 1

-Option 2

-Option 3

I need something on the home page, a module or whatever, that will read the database automatically to display:

Option 2 - 350

Option 3 - 234

Option 1 - 122

Or whatever the numbers might be. It would be nice to have it automatically list in order of highest to lowest as well.

Does that make any sense? Any ideas?

Thanks.

Site stats

No new field needed

Just add as an SQL query for each item

Hello Cory,

You need to add new field to join form via admin panel. Then you need to write small module which will react on join event and update database appropriately. Please refer to manual (http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/wiki/DolModDev ) on how to start writing module and look at boonex modules as an example.

Thanks guys. Lets assume I am not a programmer and just a designer.

How would I add a mySQL query for each item?

I am using MySQL. I created a new field on the Join Page called HearAbout, with Option 1, Option 2, and Option 3 in the drop down. (these of course will be different with the final version)

I may get to the point after the site is launched where I can pay for someone to create this for me, but was hoping this was simple enough to do on my own, so I can save money for the more complicated stuff.

If you are designer or experienced user, then you cann't do you by yourself. It needs some programming work, and it is better to implement it by php developer, it requires knowlege of MySQL and php.

All you can do is to add some fields on join form via admin interface, it will be saved and showed on profile page. But if you need some custom behavior for this custom field it requires much more knowledge.

Hey Alex,

That is what I assumed. I can handle light programming, and thought maybe it could be something relatively simple. But that kind of programming is beyond what I can do, or want to know.

I am always impressed by you guys who can write a few lines of code to pretty much do anything imaginable. I cant even imagine the talent and time it takes to develop something like Dolphin. Good work.

I will probably will end up hiring someone to do it, and if my site takes off, be looking for someone to do a lot of customization for me.

Thanks for the help.
