Is it possible to do this with cgi, and if so, does anyone know of a script that they can point me to?
Details: I am in the arts field. It would be helpful to have a way for art show exhibitors to "rate" a specific show, so others could either consider it in the future, or avoid it.
So I was thinking it would be useful at a forum to have a form where certain fields were already created, and thus all the person would have to do is click a numeric box next to each field to give it a rating.
The forum would be divided up into folders based on regions of the country - "Mid Atlantic States"; "NorthWest", etc. When an exhibitor did a show and wanted to rate it, they would go to the appropriate folder, and add their input as though it was a new posting.
For example (5 is great; 1 is awful. The "__" is a checkbox):
* How was the show setup? __5 __4 __3 __2 __1
* Did you have adequate space? __5 __4 __3 __2 __1
* How were your sales? __5 __4 __3 __2 __1
etc etc
When the person filled out this "survey", the results would be added to the forum for others to see, in the same way that FormMail allows the recipient to see the results via email.
I of course do realize that there are lots of forum scripts available, but in my web experience, I've not seen this particular approach. Most of them work like WebmasterWorld - you add your comments all in one field, and hit submit.
If anyone has seen anything like I've described, I'd very much appreciate the feedback...
