What can you achieve with component made within a day? Introducing Site Survey component, a simple custom component made for a client of mine. As the timeframe may tell, you can see the simplicity offered by this component.

This component is basically a custom survey form which will be implemented on client site. Unlike common form creation using third party form generator, the form itself is hardcoded thus the code becomes more flexible and case-specific in its implementation.

Form Frontend

As to template engine, Joomla's built in Pat Template is used. Sanity check is done after user submitting the form and action is taken to save the data submitted into a CSV file.

A simple admin panel is provided which shows some info about the component and the path for CSV file download.
