turn display question codes on and off on a per survey basis  
Written by evan the 28 Apr 10 at 05:04. Related project: 1.x all. Implemented
When display question code QUESTION_CODE is working for normal screen surveys. It would be great to be able to turn it on and off.

Currently we run a lot of research surveys. In the development/pilot phase, we collect feed back about how the survey is structured. The problem is that it's hard to identify which question the feed back refers to. Having the question codes would make this a lot easier.

Then when the survey is ready for real use, the question codes would be irrelevant. Currently the only possible way would be to create a custom template.

Our LimeSurvey installation services a university with lots of org units and thus lots of custom templates. Creating another custom template just to display question codes is very annoying.

Selected solution (#1): Add yes no option to 'Edit survey settings' > 'Presentation & navigation'
Written by evan the 28 Apr 10 at 05:04.
In the 'Edit survey settings' > 'Presentation & navigation' tab add a yes/no drop down titled "Display question codes" This would then be checked when populating the template then apply if 'yes'

Totals fields for Array (Multi Flexi) (Text) (numbers only)  
Written by evan the 25 Feb 10 at 01:42. Related project: 1.x all. New
We have a survey that requires participants to fill in a time sheet. We would like to show them the total hours for each task. We also need to record these totals in the survey results.

Solution #1: Add three additional attributes for Array (Multi Flexi) (Text) (numbers only)
Written by evan the 25 Feb 10 at 01:42.
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

Please ignore styling as this should be done with CSS.

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