Intro

CORE allows you to ask for feedback from conference participants. You can ask participants general information about the conference as well have them rate the different presentations.

How does it work?

Go to Conferences/Edit and edit your conference. Here you have the option to send feedback codes to all participants or to a single email (use this for testing).

When using 'mail all participants', who receives the feedback invitation?

It is left to the developer to add the list of participants to CORE. In ./application/modules/core/models/Feedback.php::getParticipants you have to provide the $participants array. Use the same format as the debug example. As an example of how CORE hooks into the TERENA registration system we use:

$config = new Zend_Config_Ini(
    APPLICATION_PATH.'/configs/web.ini',
    'development'
);
$db = Zend_Db::factory($config->resources->multidb->webshop);

$query = "select fname, lname, email from vw_prodpart
where product_id IN (57,58,59) and order_status NOT IN ('canceled', 'unpaid', 'pending', 'refund')";

$participants = $db->query($query)->fetchAll();

Technical

Every user who received a feedback request, gets an email with a unique link. This link contains a UUID which initializes their feedback session. CORE is not able to link a UUID back to a user and hence the privacy of the participant can be guaranteed. Only users with a valid UUID code can provide feedback. This check is done during initialization of the Feedback model. The UUID links to a feedback_id as illustrated below.
