Joomla component to allow decision process

[Paul Kelly ICHYB]

I am looking at adding a feature to one of my sites to allow visitors to receive guidance/make choices based on certain choices (I can't remember what the technical term is!), e.g.

Do you want to a or b
If a is chosen, move to c or d option
if b is chose, move to e or f option

I hope that makes sense.

I am looking for a Joomla (1.7) component that can help me create that - anyone with ideas?

You either want a joomla "Wizard component", or a wrapped script (ie javascript) that has the business logic built in.

Last time I bought a pc from Dell, I chose model A, it was javascript that had the rules built in to add a bigger disk drive at £x or larger memory at £y

If your choices are configuration type questions, then use a joomla wizard setup, but that is mostly in small scale finite permuntations. if they are more complex, then rely on javascript.

Simplest example is "Are you male or female". Its a binary answer, and javascript can process the answer to the ask whether or not you are pregnant, or have been pregnant.

There are some nice questionnaire plugins for Joomla that would suit. You could also create an app within the Joomla framework using Fabrik. Finally, as mentioned, you can use the wrapper functionality to put other scripts into your Joomla site and users would be non the wiser.

Any pointers for 'other scripts', ideally opensource and free!
