Have the template check if a .css exists and include it when it does. (could be generated for a new survey but left blank initially)

Add an edit survey css button to the survey toolbar where one can jump to a special template editor screen where you can edit this sid.css
Would be nice if there were links in the screen to point people to the appropriate item in the wiki for help.

PHPList is an open source newsletter package that I use to keep in touch with my subscribers.

It has an email queue that automatically works through batches of emails until it has sent all them all. The email queue can process automatically using cron jobs.

Since PhPList is open source and LimeSurvey is open source, maybe PHPList would share some lessons learned and allow sharing of some of theri current code?

It would seem to me that someone very smart person could make some script to convert survey data into mindmap data.

This would be a straight export from LimeSurvey to the mindmap data structure.

Branches can be colorcoded to denote conditions.

I agree that the MindMap Structure wouldn't really work.

But I know some survey tools, that use a kind of "folder structure" as we know it from file explorers, etc.

I think this can display filters and so on pretty well. At the moment Quotas, Filters, and questions are somehow displayed very seperate and it difficult to get a good overview of the survey (I do agree with the GregB here).

But with the folder tree, you can show loops, filters, pages/groups and questions, which can be especially helpful for long and complicated surveys.

1 it might be worth making the question Array (Multi Flexi) (Text) (attribute: numbers only) into it's own question type

2 add the following attributes:
Show totals
* row = total for each row (an additional column)
* col = total for each column (an additional row)
* both = totals for both columns and rows (an additional row and column)

store totals in results
* 1 = store column/row totals in results

Grand total
* 1 = show grand total only
* 2 = store grand total in results (do not display)
* 3 = show grand total and store in results

Java script would calculate totals for columns/rows and would be able to hand negative numbers and floating point numbers.

for visual example see

I can help with the HTML side but can't help with JS, DB LS admin stuff.

The proposed change: place a cookie when saving a form. The cookie blocks the possibility to open a second form and informs the respondent that he/she should open the link in the received email.

Ofcourse cookies can be removed if you really want to fill in a second form, but at least it will bring awareness to those who forgot they saved the form.

Redirecting a respondent to the saved form is also important because it makes the tool appear more reliable.
