Component body

Feeback & Suggestion Tab adds a tab to the viewport, next to the scrollbar, which solicits feedback and suggestions from website visitors. GetSatisfaction.com, UserVoice.com and other similar services use a tab like this, and are the source of inspiration for this module. The webpage in the modal dialog that appears after clicking the tab is configurable, but only pages in an <iframe> are supported for now. Contributions for AHAH content are encouraged.

To set the URI for the iframe, add a line like the following to your settings.php file.

$conf['feedbacktab_iframe_uri'] = 'http://example.com/';

The animation settings are also not yet configurable or over-ridable. A UI for these settings is needed. Contributions welcome.

Animation is slightly different in each of Safari, IE7 and Firefox, due to browser bugs with the position: fixed layout and jQuery UI Bounce effect library. This needs to be better debugged and patched, possibly to jQuery UI. Contributions welcome.

There is some support for placing the tab on the left or at the bottom, but this needs to be completed. Need I say that contributions are welcome? :)

There are some screenshots of the Feedback & Suggestions Tab module on Flickr.
