I would love for you to submit your changes. I have not done any work on SMERF for quite some time as I've had no requests for changes, but I'd be happy to look at adding your improvements. Thanks again for offering to contribute to the project. Cheers, Etienne. Hi Tim,

I am still getting used to this iPad keyboard :-) Etienne, please correct my abysmal typos in my previous comments should you decide to post it. I am still getting used to this iPad keyboard :-)

During the process I tweaked the Smerf forms helper slightly so I could effectively walk the DOM using JQuery. By doing this I was able to add effects sushi as slideUp() and slideDown() for subquestions. I also have a couple of other tricks included. Are you still actively involved in SMERF development? I would like to offer my JQuery friendly addition. Also, I don't know whether I introduced this anomaly with my slight additions or , however, I just noticed that if no questions or subquestions have a default set and the user submits form without answering at least 1 question, SMERF raises the "owner of object is nil" or something like that. (I'm on an airplane typing this on my iPad, so don't have access to source). Is this an expected result as I see you deed code for this occurrence? Anyway, please let me know if you are interested in the SMERF features adapted adapted for JQuery. BTW, I also added "singlechoice-horizontal" and "multiplechoice-horizontal" methods that work with the generic JQuery code so radio buttons and checkboxes could layout horizontally as well as vertically. I am now working on a way to facilitate a multiple-column layout in the YML description for a form. Tim Etienne, I recently needed to use smerf to create 50+ data entry forms.

I18N would be the easier of the two but at the moment all messages are hard coded so they will have to be extracted and the I18N code would need to be added. Cheers, Etienne. Hi Francisco,

Santos Fri, 14 May 2010 10:59:55 +0000 http://smerf.cascadia.com.au/?p=17#comment-637 I've found SMERF looking around for a questionnaires plugin for rails, and I think this is the perfect plugin I was looking for. However, I miss two key features: I18N and a GUI. Are you still planning the GUI? Do you think is it very complicate to add I18N so that all texts can be stored in BBDD as well as the questions and answers?

We are wanting to build surveys for beta testers that will be presented at certain points and at the end of their beta testing.SMERF looks promising. The GUI would be very useful though for our needs, a straight up CRUD would fit our tool-set better...but any GUI would be nice since non-techs are running the beta process and creating the surveys. What state is this potential project in currently? I’m looking around for a good survey plugin to use to build our own system around.
