Enable multiple Reviewers to add comments to a submission - anthrope communications - Sep 16th, 2010 Hi there. Thank you for creating such a great tool! I am a newbie to FormTools - but love the abilities it provides without significant PHP/MySQL knowledge. THE PROJECT: I created a website for non-profit organization. Constituents can submit presentation proposals for an upcoming conference though a form on the site. I set all of that up through FT - and it works like a charm! Part two of the process is that 10 reviewers need to be able to review each submission, add comments/grades to each submission, and then save their comments into the DB (attached to the submission). MY APPROACH: • I set the reviewer's up as CLIENTS. • I added FIELDS to the form/database for the reviewers to add their input. • Within FT I created a VIEW that show the submission + the reviewer's fields. - It looks great. Challenge is that I realized that each time a a reviewer adds their input, the last reviewer's info get's overwritten. THE QUESTION: Is there a way to enable multiple reviewers to can ad their comments - without each new reviewer overwriting that last one's input? - perhaps have the complete form save out as a new submission when the reviewer hits "update." Thanks for any help! Chris RE: Enable multiple Reviewers to add comments to a submission - Ben - Sep 19th, 2010 Hi Chris, Cool! Glad it's worked out so far. ![]() So does each reviewer delete the previous comments before adding their own? Assuming they're sharing the same field, they should always see all reviews made up to that point. If they *are* deleting the old comments, you may need to add separate comments for each reviewer - since there are only 10, that might not actually be so bad... If it's a problem that the comments would then be in multiple locations, you could look into the Submission Pre-Parser module to automatically update a single field ("all comments") in your database with comments made by all users. Let me know if you need any pointers on this bit. All the best! - Ben |
