SurveyGram Changelog

This changelog documents the updates and improvements made to SurveyGram, a flexible survey system by Page Telegram Volunteer Services.

Version 2.16 - August 2025

Fixed CSV export in export.php to include the timestamp field as a column, resolving the issue where it displayed as "N/A".
Simplified form rendering in survey.php to ensure options, text, and comments question types render correctly, with fallback choices for options questions.
Verified CSS to prevent form elements from being hidden.

Fixed rendering issue in survey.php by adding support for "options" question type, rendering a <select> dropdown with choices from the JSON, matching the provided survey format.
Updated new_survey.php and edit_survey.php to use "options" type instead of "scale", with a predefined list of choices for consistency with existing surveys.
Retained backward compatibility for "scale" questions to support existing surveys.

Fixed issue in survey.php where text and scale form elements were not rendering for end users, ensuring all question types (text, scale, comments, link, divider) display correctly.
Added validation and error logging for invalid question types in survey JSON to improve debugging.
Added link to changelog.html in the admin dashboard for easier access.

Fixed issue in survey.php where text and scale form elements were not rendering, ensuring all question types (text, scale, comments, link, divider) display correctly.
Renamed submission timestamp field from submitted_at to timestamp in results JSON (data/results/$code-$user.json and data/surveys/$code.json).
Restored full functionality in survey.php and admin.php to address file size reduction, ensuring bookmarking script, survey management, and CSS editor are intact.

Added timestamp recording for survey completions, storing the submission date and time in submitted_at field (format: Y-m-d H:i:s) in the results JSON file (data/results/$code-$user.json).
Added CSS editor in the admin dashboard (admin.php), allowing administrators to edit and save styles/brownhatsurvey.css directly from the interface.

Fixed text alignment issue ensuring survey question text, comment text, link descriptions, and introduction paragraphs are consistently left-justified using text-align: left !important in CSS to override global centering.
Maintained centered alignment for survey title, divider labels, buttons, and other non-question elements for design consistency.

Updated CSS to left-justify question text, comment text, and link descriptions in surveys, aligning with the business-style formatting of the introduction.
Preserved centered alignment for survey title, divider labels, and buttons.

Changed survey introduction styling to left-justified, business-style format with paragraph indentations (2em) instead of centered text.
Updated survey.php to render introduction as multiple <p> tags, splitting by newlines, with CSS handling indentation.

Added optional comment blocks after text, scale, and comments questions, controlled by a checkbox in survey creation/editing interfaces.
Introduced has_comments JSON field to store comment block preference, automatically inserting a "Any comments or questions?" comment question after selected questions.
Updated sequence handling to assign comment blocks a sequence number one greater than the parent question (e.g., 11 for a question at 10).

Updated admin.php to accept password via an input form if not provided in the URL, improving security and accessibility.
Modified admin dashboard title "SurveyGram" to link to index.php for easier navigation.

Replaced fixed 1-7 scale with user-specified variable scale for survey questions, allowing creators to set custom scale_min and scale_max.
Added "Skip" (value 0) as the default option for scale questions, automatically selected if no choice is made by the user.

Created setup.php to generate all SurveyGram files and directories, streamlining deployment.
Updated sequence numbering to increment by 10 (e.g., 10, 20, 30) for easier reordering of survey questions.
Applied nl2br() to render carriage returns as <br> tags in survey titles, introductions, question text, and divider labels.

Initial release of SurveyGram with core functionality for creating, taking, and managing surveys.
Features included survey code validation, user ID generation, JSON-based storage, export to JSON/CSV, and admin dashboard with basic CRUD operations.
Styled with a monochrome orange-on-black theme using brownhatsurvey.css.
