Solution #2: Create flexible layout to mix question types within a certain block

Written by Mazi the 28 Oct 09 at 16:28.

I'm pretty sure Limesurvey will stick to the policy of not mixing different questions types. This is because you need valid functions to store data at the database and to show results and the like. Therefore the type of data has to be fixed.

I suggest to create a flexible layout for Limesurvey 2 which allows the user to place different question blocks besides each other. You can use one question text and one set of answers but different questions (= input types) within this block.
