croodle selects the wrong most preferred date

[hj-beckers]

If you look at the "bevorzugten Termine" (most preferred dates) croodle suggests Donnerstag 11:00/11:30 (3 ja/yes). But if you look at "Teilnehmende und ihre Antworten" (participants and their answers) there are 4 ja/yes for Freitag 11:00?

Sorry for not replying back earlier. Didn't had much time to work on this project the last year.

Croodle does not only count the yes (ja) answers to determine most preferred dates. It takes also no (nein) and maybe (vielleicht) into account. It calculates points for each option. The option with most points wins. A yes adds 2 points, a maybe adds 1 point and a no substracts 2 points. If user hasn't provided an answer for that option, it's ignored.

Lines 41 to 53 in bb160cc

	switch (type) {
	case 'yes':
	evaluation[i].score += 2;
	break;
	case 'maybe':
	evaluation[i].score += 1;
	break;
	case 'no':
	evaluation[i].score -= 2;
	break;
	}

This logic is maybe to complex and definitely not transparent to end user as it's documented nowhere. Will keep this issue open to track that one.
