the idea is to create a timer that creates tokens en send these customers the survey automaticly.

allso with big surveys, this can be used auto email the survey to groups 100 each time to avoid spam problems.

I think it is not the best way to store a score that may be subject to changes when editing a response. Best would be to calc the values during export.

Maybe there is allready an opensource reporting project, which can be adjusted and integrated in Limesurvey.

There is an open source application used to do data analysing of results and making charts from it. This application is Red-R (http://www.red-r.org). Will this help you with what you need to do?

As with Solution 1, I would like to propose either BIRT or Jasper Reports - I've used both recently in my PHP projects, and they bring a world of a difference to reporting - taking the design aspects and business logic out of the application and moving them to the reporting layer. Also, the various exports are handled as well

Add a button to the survey button bar, next to "Token management"
Create a page to review all conditions in the current SurveyID

We also manage a large number of surveys and a relatively simple solution would be to add a keyword filter to the "list surveys" display. This could be as simple as the ability to filter survey names based on a keyword or phrase. MS Excel style filters would be really cool.

To toggle the questions to optional, the button would query the DB, find all questions in the current survey with mandatory=Y and change them to mandatory=M.

We need to use "M" so we can find them to toggle them back later.

The system would see "M" as non-mandatory so all of these questions could now be skipped in a Q/A process.

This way only the questions that the survey author had set to mandatory would be affected.

I've put together a little php script to demonstrate the concept that you can grab at http://partnersinc.biz/testsites/misc_images/mandatory_toggle.txt (can't seem to attach anything here!).

A more elegant solution may be to have the button/input set a session variable to disable the "checkmandatorys" function. (thanks Carsten)

Some red text could then be displayed at the bottom of the survey indicating that it is in "Q/A" mode and all questions are optional.

show_tics = 1 : the slider shows tics under the bar, between the slider_min and the slider_max values.

perhaps a button directly to the right of the slider answer might somehow reset it. Text on (or next to) the button might say "skip" or "no answer"

I think it would be a great service to e.g. send out a reminder email along the lines of (maybe only with token-based persistency):

"Dear NAME,

Our survey-system has registered that you on date begun to answer the questionaire - but you did not answer all the questions.

You can continue where you left of here: surveyurl

If you do not wish to continue, please press this link and we will not send you anymore reminder emails link.


This is an automatic email. You answers are anonymous, the system have only registred that you did not finish the querstions. Nobody - not even the systemadministrator, will ever know wether you finished the whole survey or not.

If you have any questions please contact surveyadmemail"

Possibility to send the invitation email only to the participants with the same attribute. Solution: a list of the attributes with check boxes in the "Send email invitations" page. The invitation is send only to the participants with checked attribute.

Yes, but we also need different emails, for different groups, in the same survey

By adding a filter field to the invitation screen you would be able to only send invitations to certain records after you filtered for example for the contents of a certain attribute field.

An ideal format for doing this would be a stacked bar chart. Each bar could be a subquestion, and the answer options stacked in the order defined in the question design. (In my example, they would be Strongly Disagree / Disagree / Neutral / Agree / Strongly agree.)

Simple, allow a checkbox next to added attributes in tokens that can select Public. This means that the person registering for the survey will be shown this attribute and asked for an answer.

If "Required" is also checked, it will be required.

Solution for 1.
A) If $debug is set to "2"/"3" don't execute the mandatory check.
B) New config setting "$ignore_mandatory", if set to "1" don't execute the mandatory check.

Solution for 2.
A) Create a "All questions are mandatory?" -> yes/no option at survey settings
B) Create an overview which lists all questions and a simple "mandatory yes/no" radio option. This way you can set up your survey without making question mandatory from the beginning at chose which questions should be mandatory at a later step.
This overview can be survey or group based.

Instead of using the ID to sort the list to send out the invitations, use a function to randomize that list. Since every mail has to get created individually, you only have to check the range of the IDs and check for not having duplicates while sending out.

Thank you in advance ;)

In times of Google Gears and HTML5 I was wondering if it would be possible to use the survey offline?

Tine20.org for example is using Gears to make the application usable offline. Or Gmail, etc.

I am not sure if this is possible with a very complex and flexible tool like Limesurvey, but maybe it is?

Although a Workaround to address this issue exists for the Register page, and another (that I have added to the Forums) exists for the Welcome page, this kind of functionality should be available as a standard feature. Users should not be required to write javascript code or to play around in the template area to reach this kind of functionality. A user should have the option to select (if so required) where the consent verification should be made: in the Register page, or in the Welcome page when registration is not required. A mechanisms to upload/download a pdf of the consent and authorization statement should be provided also. Users should be able to download the consent to which they are acquiescent. Many Institutional Review Boards require that a copy of the consent be provided to the users if so requested.

Hope to see this functionality added in LS1 and LS2!

I support this idea, but here's the workaround I've used.

As the first question (and group) of the survey, I set up a yes/no or list radio button question with the consent text. I also made a PDF of the consent form and put a link in it in the body of the consent text so they can download it.

Then I set all other questions in the survey to display only if the answer to the first question is "yes" or "I agree."

Not the most elegant solution, but it worked for my IRB and my respondents!
