Tics for slider layout  
Written by apps the 2 Feb 10 at 10:06. Related project: 1.x all. New
Tics (aka tic marks) should be visible under the slider bar.

See this sketch: http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/5295/10403feb10095848.gif

benefits: easy read, make it clear it's a slider with discrete values, catch where the handle is in respect to left and right limits.

Details:
type = multiple numerical input
options:
use slider layout = 1
slider min = 0
slider max = 10
slider accurancy = 1

Solution #1: add an option
Written by apps the 2 Feb 10 at 10:06.
show_tics = 0 (default). Just as it is.
show_tics = 1 : the slider shows tics under the bar, between the slider_min and the slider_max values.

Review all conditions  
Written by apps the 5 Feb 10 at 14:10. Related project: 1.x all. New
It's more productive to show and review all conditions in a admin page.
Mantain them from there (Edit, add, delete) is considered a plus.

Solution #1: add a page "Logic Management"
Written by apps the 5 Feb 10 at 14:10.
Add a button to the survey button bar, next to "Token management"
Create a page to review all conditions in the current SurveyID

Duplicate survey feature  
Written by fingerprn the 3 Feb 10 at 22:12. Related project: 1.x all. Implemented
I use the same survey, except for a few small changes, with different groups of people. I'd like the ability to just click a button and copy a survey, including questions, layout, etc., without needing to use the import/export feature.

Selected solution (#1): Copy survey button
Written by fingerprn the 3 Feb 10 at 22:12.
Right next to the Export Survey Structure button, add a Copy Survey button. When you click on it, it asks for a new survey name. Click on that and it creates an exact duplicate (except the survey name) of the current survey structure and design. From there, you can open the new "inactive" survey and make any necessary changes.

decouple survey settings in 2 pages  
Written by apps the 5 Feb 10 at 16:12. Related project: 1.x all. Implemented
Survey settings is composed of 2 pages:
1 Survey configs, with tuples (name-value) .e.g. Allow Saves Y/N
2 Survey textes, with survey title, welcome, endmsg.

The first part of settings are set at start of your work with a survey, and rarely fixed later.
The behaviour of a survey is technical choice, with a tendency of no change over time.

The second part is very frequently used, I believe it stays at the same level of questions and aswer, often modified for the same aesthetic or pratic reasons.

Selected solution (#1): split in 2 pages
Written by apps the 5 Feb 10 at 16:12.
The use case can be safely split in 2 use cases, by looking at the level of interaction the user need with the settings.

A "survey messages" +
A "survey settings " (Retain old name)

New question type for LimeSurvey  
Written by mkhines the 20 Jan 10 at 16:19. Related project: 1.x all. Implemented
There are surveys we take that require some degree of geographic information to be submitted.

Rather than ask novice/general public users to use a GPS and submit coordinates (which invariably end up incorrect), we would like to have them use a map-style interface like Google maps, where they can drag and drop the pin where they were when they saw what they are reporting, and then have the question type save the latitude and longitude of their dropped pin.

Selected solution (#1): Google Map drag and drop pin grabs coordinates
Written by mkhines the 20 Jan 10 at 16:19.
Give users a small map as a question, with a pushpin dropped in the middle. The user can move the pin around to the proper location on the map to select where they were. They can also zoom to a place in order to jump to the proper level of detail in order to accurately place the pin. E.g. a search box which if they typed in Madison, WI, would jump and center the map on Madison, WI, and have the pin handy for them to refine its location.
