Allow Welcomepage and Endpage as questionstypes.  
Written by jelo the 28 Apr 10 at 12:12. Related project: 1.x all. Implemented
Allow hiding Welcomepage (when you are linking different surveys together) or different Endpages (e.g. respondents get suitable redirection).

Selected solution (#2): Welcome/Endpage by settings
Written by c_schmitz the 19 Oct 10 at 11:59.
Create a new setting to hide the Welcome page.
The end page problem will be resolved by conditioned text blocks.

Informed Consent and Authorization Functionality  
Written by atavei the 7 Apr 10 at 19:06. Related project: 1.x all. New
Nowadays, all research with human subjects require informed consent and authorization. The use of a program such as LimeSurvey in academic, government, or business environments require a mechanism of informed consent. In the specific case of academic environments, Institutional Review Boards WILL NOT APPROVE any type of research with human subjects without a mechanisms to verify the informed consent. Restrictions such as this are already found (or likely to be found in the near future) in government, medical and some business settings. Usage of LimeSurvey in academic--or other-- settings will be hindered by the absence of this kind of functionality.

Solution #1: Include informed consent acquiescence as a standard feature
Written by atavei the 7 Apr 10 at 19:06.
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!

Solution #2: Workaround: Set up yes/no question with conditional display of all others
Written by mfreund the 6 Jul 10 at 22:14.
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!

Separate access to "Activate/Deactivate" survey and "Do survey"  
Written by Boeing the 22 Apr 10 at 23:58. Global category: Authentication. Implemented
Once the super administrator plays a role of God, creating supporting users accounts for a survey he has a problem. Our business is very old and a lot of our customers just not connected to internet, or afraid of computer or just very-very far from this hell of internet. As a result we can establish electronic communication with only fraction of total number. So the idea we adopted was to have our phone operator sitting against the "Display tokens" screen, clicking on "Do survey" icon and then calling to our customer. In such a way we have our telephone survey results put in. But in order to provide our "phone operator" with this option we have to provide him with the "Activate survey" permission. This allows him activate and deactivate the survey, which is actually not of his business.

Selected solution (#1): New security level, "Do survey"
Written by Boeing the 22 Apr 10 at 23:58.
We think it is good idea to create another level of permissions such as "Do survey only" and separate it from "Activate survey".

MaxDiff / Best Worst Scaling question type / functionality  
Written by jelo the 9 Dec 09 at 09:38. Related project: 1.x all. New
Question type similar to a DualScale question type.

Difference is that you that you are not allowed to choose the same item on both scales.

Simple example would be : First scale "most important", second scale "least important". Now you show different items to choose from. With a dual scale question type it would be possible to choose the same item as "most important" AND "least important" which wouldn't allow to apply the MaxDiff method.

Solution #1: Translation of french workaround script into english as a start.
Written by jelo the 9 Dec 09 at 09:38.
Can somebody with french language skills take a look at the attached script and translate the comments into english? It would be a big step towards a broader adaption of maxdiff inside of limesurvey.

Solution #2: Small modification of 'Array (flexible labels) by column' questions
Written by lemeur the 3 Jan 10 at 13:59.
MaxDiff question is in fact a specific version of Array (flexible labels) by column:
* answers are "Makes me Most want to reenlist" and "Makes me Least want to reenlist"
* Labels are "Time off each week allowed for on-line college coursework", "Receive in-person personal counseling services", ...

Now for the new things (switchable by a question attribute):
* a new layout: display answers between the two columns
* a small javascript that prevents using the "Next/Commit" button if the same "Label" is used for the two "Answers"

Export MindMap into LimeSurvey  
Written by jhwheuer the 5 Apr 10 at 11:16. Related project: 2.x all. New
To make the initial stucturing of a survey faster, it would be very helpful to be able to import a mindmap as the basic survey structure.

Level 1 Branches would be sections, level two answers. We could even go so far as to design standardised icons to identify the question types. The text attachment to a node would serves as the description of the question...

What do you think?

Solution #1: Convert mindmap xml to survey xml -OR- write a decicated exporter for xMind etc
Written by jhwheuer the 5 Apr 10 at 11:16.
We would have to convert the mindmap xml into the import format for LimeSurvey... or write a litte exporter that does it directly, maybe even with an automated import into limesurvey...
