Presentation of un-answered mandatory questions  
Written by kishu the 6 Mar 10 at 16:53. New
It's very usual to find users submitting the form with mandatory questions unanswered. Then the page gets reloaded again with a change of css to point out the such questions. The problem is when a survey page is too long with more number of questions then the user needs to scroll all along to find out what he missed. This is fine but a better alternative can be thought of.

Solution #1: Using Light Window type interface
Written by kishu the 6 Mar 10 at 16:53.
One solution is to use a light window type interface. Whenever user submits (clicks next button) the page, all unanswered questions will be popped out in a light window notifying the user that they are mandatory. This provides a easy UI and a good surveying experience. After filling these missed mandatory questions he'll be taken forward as usual.

Abrupt ending or Closing the Survey  
Written by kishu the 6 Mar 10 at 09:51. New
Every now and then we find incomplete surveys.
The user might get bored in the middle (happens usually for long surveys) and/or close his browser window (can be sometimes unexpectedly ) which results in incomplete survey.

Solution #1: Option to email the link
Written by kishu the 6 Mar 10 at 09:51.
Whenever the user closes the browser in the middle of the survey, a confirmation screen should pop out asking him to enter his email so that he can continue answering that particular survey at a later stage if he wish to.
A link to that particular session should be mailed to the user

Drupal integration  
Written by marcvangend the 5 Mar 10 at 12:20. New
Drupal is one of the most popular open source CMS'es, but it's not geared towards complex surveys. I think that both Drupal and Limesurvey would benefit from a Drupal-Limesurvey integration module.

Solution #1: Drupal / Limesurvey modules
Written by marcvangend the 5 Mar 10 at 12:20.
Some research needs to be done to decide what should be integrated and how that can be accomplished. I think the most important is to synchronize or share the users:
- from Limesurvey, Drupal users could be invited to fill out a survey;
- users of a Drupal site could fill out (and create?) surveys without logging in again (single sign on);
- a logged-in user could see in Drupal which surveys are available for him.

At least, a Drupal module would be needed. Depending on the architecture and API's of Limesurvey2, a module/mod/plugin/addon for Limesurvey might be needed as well.

Offline Surveys  
Written by holch the 26 Feb 10 at 02:31. New
I was thinking about this quite a while already. It is not always possible to do a interview online (CAWI) or via telephone (CATI). When programming is necessary CAPI comes into the game.

However, most CAPI-Tools are old and boring and additionally you have to have still another program.

However, wouldn't it be greate to be able to use Limesurvey for all those purposes. However, even with UMTS/3G it is not always possible or reliable enough to do it with a online survey tool.

Solution #1: Limesurvey CAPI feature
Written by holch the 26 Feb 10 at 02:31.
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?
