Eligibility plugin

  • I am looking for a plugin where I can create a quiz or questionnaire for users to fill out to determine eligibility. The answers would be yes/no and ideally, I’d like to be able to have it give a response when the wrong answer is given that they aren’t eligible. The example is a questionaire about eligibility to receive grants and if some answers are given as NO then the get the message that they don’t qualify. I’ve tried a lot of quiz plugins, but I can’t seem to find or figure out the messaging part I need.

    The messaging part is a variation of form validation. Validation normally does things like ensuring an email address or phone number is of the right format, but it can also check if a user answered yes or no. Instead of putting up a message like “Incorrect email address”, it’s just as easy to put up “We’re sorry, you do not qualify”.

    Naturally this requires some custom coding. Even if you are not a coder, if you at least have any reasonable kind of coding aptitude, you can probably figure out how to accomplish this. For novice coders, one of the biggest challenges is just getting basic syntax right. Fortunately, the error console tells you where and how you got it wrong. Unfortunately, it will not tell you what is correct. If you have the bulk of your code in place and just need help resolving a syntax error or two, there are lots of people here that can help you out. You need to take the lead with your coding, but you don’t have to go it alone.

    For more on validation, with examples, have a look at
    https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/HTML/Forms/Form_validation

    That site is a great reference for all manner of web page coding. Everyone at all levels finds useful information there.
