An ideal format for doing this would be a stacked bar chart. Each bar could be a subquestion, and the answer options stacked in the order defined in the question design. (In my example, they would be Strongly Disagree / Disagree / Neutral / Agree / Strongly agree.)

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!

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!

the idea is to create a timer that creates tokens en send these customers the survey automaticly.

allso with big surveys, this can be used auto email the survey to groups 100 each time to avoid spam problems.

Rather than having to go through the painful process of adding multiple conditions to each question of a long survey, add the ability to apply conditions to groups.

The infrastructure for the groups is already there...
- Hide/show all of the questions of a particular group based on conditions.

I believe the best way to solve this problem is by creating groups of groups. It may be that it is more work, or not, create a survey, but this way we could do just as castors currently certain issues within the group, thus able to maintain the order of questions within a sub-group and display them random.
It could be done as follows: to create the group display a box to select whether to casters or not, when there is a subgroup is created automatically with the same name or something similar, and when rotation is selected group of questions to ask create sub-groups.
Unfortunately I'm new to programming, I would like to know how to implement this logic I have described.

There is an open source application used to do data analysing of results and making charts from it. This application is Red-R (http://www.red-r.org). Will this help you with what you need to do?

As with Solution 1, I would like to propose either BIRT or Jasper Reports - I've used both recently in my PHP projects, and they bring a world of a difference to reporting - taking the design aspects and business logic out of the application and moving them to the reporting layer. Also, the various exports are handled as well

I would love to have a preview in the "subaction=email" section, so that just before i press the send button, i see one random (or even just the first) record of my token list displayed as it will appear in the sending email.


I hope, this is easy,

http://www.proprofs.com has a Personality Quiz generator that does some of the above, but without the nuances of some of the other features of Limesurvey.

Currently the shell of the survey can be constructed with existing multiple choice question types.

Making the assessment values A, B & C (etc) allows the data to be collected that can be tabulated to work out the result for the survey.

The assessment option needs to then:
- count the number of each response type/assessment value
- calculate the percentage of total responses for each type
- allow assessment rules to be set up based on the percentage ranges for each result
- display the result to the user at the end of the survey
- store the result in the database for the administrator of the survey to access.

I think it would be a great service to e.g. send out a reminder email along the lines of (maybe only with token-based persistency):

"Dear NAME,

Our survey-system has registered that you on date begun to answer the questionaire - but you did not answer all the questions.

You can continue where you left of here: surveyurl

If you do not wish to continue, please press this link and we will not send you anymore reminder emails link.


This is an automatic email. You answers are anonymous, the system have only registred that you did not finish the querstions. Nobody - not even the systemadministrator, will ever know wether you finished the whole survey or not.

If you have any questions please contact surveyadmemail"

Using Flash (as per solution #1) would instantly break survey access on iphone & ipad. So why not get into HTML5 now to solve this issue.

Personally, looking for Joomla integration options. There's been a component release for Joomla in the past, but it used a particular version of limesurvey, so has not kept updated with the latest features.

Solution for 1.
A) If $debug is set to "2"/"3" don't execute the mandatory check.
B) New config setting "$ignore_mandatory", if set to "1" don't execute the mandatory check.

Solution for 2.
A) Create a "All questions are mandatory?" -> yes/no option at survey settings
B) Create an overview which lists all questions and a simple "mandatory yes/no" radio option. This way you can set up your survey without making question mandatory from the beginning at chose which questions should be mandatory at a later step.
This overview can be survey or group based.

* First of all, email messages sent by LS must be tagged in some way with an message-dest-id
This message destination id is made up of: the SurveyID, the target email address, the token code, and a specific integrity code.
This integrity code is used to make sure the bounce email is not a fake so that we don't disable some valid tokens.
The integrity code would be an ASCII verison of a HMAC of the previous elmeents encrypted with a key containing the token ID (internal element inside LS, and a global value specific to this LS installation and set in config.php).

* the probe will decode the bounced email to read the error message and get the original message-dest-id, then it would send the two data to LS-remote-command (via SOAP)

* The LSRC API will provide a service that would check the integrity and authentication of the message-dest-id and then update the token status accordingly.

Some references:
* Tagging with VERP solution: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_envelope_return_path
* Tagging in SMTP header (my preferred way): http://www.php.net/manual/fr/function.mail.php#78934

Simple, allow a checkbox next to added attributes in tokens that can select Public. This means that the person registering for the survey will be shown this attribute and asked for an answer.

If "Required" is also checked, it will be required.

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.

The solution is very simple: class attribute should be assigned to table cell element which separates two scales (<td class="another_class_name">) so that its visual properties could be changed by changing content of template's .css files in a usual manner.

Unluckily, it must be "hard-coded" in a code responsible for displaying dual-scale questions.
