Hi,

in a Webform I want to use questions with two polarized statements. Please find more information in my post in Paid Drupal Services.

Thanks
Richard

Thanks for posting here. This has come up a few times before, so I'm marking this duplicate of #1456496: Make Grid component support Polarization/Semantic-differential scale.

Depending on the obtrusiveness of adding this feature, I'd consider this as an option for Webform itself. So if it's easy to extend the existing Grid component rather than making a new one, that may be a good option.

Yesterday traxer has already patched the grid component and it's working fine. I'm not familiar with the development process (I'm only a drupal user), so please find a zipped version of the patched grid.inc attached.

Regards
Richard

OOoo. Excellent. Let's continue in #1456496: Make Grid component support Polarization/Semantic-differential scale. Its confusing when there are multiple issues for the same feature, so let's post progress over there and leave this one closed.

I do something similar, but I have a value for each option. So to take the bitterness example, I might have:

BITTERNESS: "Raw Endive", "Espresso", "Tonic Water", "Pink Grapefruit", "Water"

These are presented via tittle attributes as hover-over pop-up hints (like tool-tips). My particular use case is to rate skills. It solves the problem of the user "guessing" what value should be given by providing specific criteria. Actual testing has shown that the scale significantly lowers the standard deviation of the answers -- i.e. gives more precise results.

So the format would be:

question_key|left title|right title|tip 1|tip 2|tip 3| ...

Note that I'm calling the left and right labels "titles", rather than values. They aren't values, as those are defined elsewhere (the column headings).

A similar change can be made to the values definition.

Thanks for your input @DanChadwick! Per above though, could we please stop commenting here and consolidate in #1456496: Make Grid component support Polarization/Semantic-differential scale?
