Allow admins to publish the questions' answers in surveys by andreslucena · Pull Request #13786 · decidim/decidim

andreslucena · 2024-12-18T14:49:20Z

🎩 What? Why?

This PR adds a new feature for allowing an admin to publish some questions from Surveys.

Related to this, I added answers to the surveys' seeds and fixed the seeds that we were adding for Sorting question type, so you'd need to reseed the database (or at least the surveys).

As I needed a charting library and we want to ditch the current approach that we have for these graphs (with d3, for the Metrics feature), I introduced a couple dependencies here:

Chartkick: https://chartkick.com/ - that is a wrapper and ease-up the implementation for
Chart.js: https://www.chartjs.org/

📌 Related Issues

Fixes #13202

Testing

As there are changes to the seeds, you first should re seed the database:

bin/rails db:drop db:create db:migrate assets:precompile db:seed

Sign in as admin
Go to the surveys component
See that now you have three surveys on each space (some open without answers, some closed with answers) - see screenshot below
Go to the closed with answers, see that you have a "Publish answers" button
Click the button
See that you have a list of questions with charts with the answers - see screenshot below
Click the publish toggle button on any question
Go to the survey page
See that you have the chart that you've selected published - see screenshot below
Go to the open without answers, see that you don't have the "Publish answers"

♥️ Thank you!

We were configuring a sorting question type with a condition for having an answer in a file type question, and file type question do not allow that.

@andreslucena
I just tried it on the beta platform, and unfortunately the "publish answers" button does not appear.
I tried with this component: https://try.decidim.org/admin/participatory_processes/sup2035/components/2/manage/

Is there something I'm missing ?
Thank's

You need to untick "Allow responses" within the settings tab first before being able to publish:

That's what I tried.
I expected the "publish responses" button to appear on every tab, that's why I did not see it when I investigated it.
I have the feeling that it's a bit hard to discover for such a great feature. Maybe adding a button to access it here would be useful ?

Anyway, thank's !
