Custom / Choice of admin dir  
Written by lovepade the 2 Aug 10 at 12:27. Related project: 1.x all. Already implemented
For various (e.g. security) reasons it might be a good idea to change the default admin directory from www.myserver.com/admin to something else.

Solution #1: User choose name of admin dir
Written by lovepade the 2 Aug 10 at 12:27.
The codebase seams to be somewhat prepared for this - but not fully. cf. forum topic: http://www.limesurvey.org/support/forums/5-can-i-do-this-with-limesurvey/45939- change-admin-login-page

Evaluation for each question  
Written by zoiral the 12 Jun 10 at 14:29. Related project: 1.x all. Already implemented
Is it possible to add a "score" for each answer in order to evaluate it ?

Example : Mozart lived in
- XX century (score 0)
- XIX century (score 0)
- XVIII (score 1)
- XVII (score 0)

At the end of the questionnaire, it will be possible to show score (or not).

send automatically an email to the survey user with his datas  
Written by fradeff the 27 May 10 at 16:01. Related project: 1.x all. Already implemented
(please forgive my poor english... I'm french speaker)

We use at our university intensively limesurvey, and I really appreciate it: I'm not only using it for surveys, but also as a form-generator and gained a lot of time doing so. I was able with limesurvey to answer to dozens of demands reading the doc and adapting the surveys according to it.

But... several administrators of surveys ask me if it is not possible to send to the survey user (the person filling the survey, not the admin) an email with his/her information, when she submits the survey. This is very common on forms, but seems to miss in limesurvey.

I've googled and checked in doc + forum + ideas (here) without finding anything about that question, which surprised me, as I think could be quite interesting for many limesurvey users / administrators. So if I searched bad, please forgive me.

Personnally, I use the Automatic End URL to do that, but it's quite a lot of handmade job for each survey (get the survey sid and the answer id, parse the corresponding table fields name, send the mail, and so one for each new survey where this notification is required).

Hereafter a suggestion to add this feature

Hope this concerns other than us and that a solution can be found!

Best,

Fred R, University of Geneva, Switzerland

Solution #1: Add a question type "email + optional notification"
Written by fradeff the 27 May 10 at 16:01.
In all surveys (closed with email AND public-open), add a question-type named email (which could include a regexp check of the mail, which I also do "by hand"), and a checkbox with a label sthing like "Send collected datas to the email provided here".

Force an answer to always be displayed at the end of a randomized list  
Written by tpartner the 4 Jan 10 at 23:32. Related project: 1.x all. Already implemented
When using the "Random answer order" question attribute, it would be nice to be able to have one answer always appear at the end of the list.

For example, in a question with the answers:
"Option 1"
"Option 2"
"Option 3"
"Option 4"
"None of the above"

One could have the Options 1-4 randomized but "None of the above" always appear last.

There is a demo of the concept at http://www.partnersinc.biz/surveys//index.php?sid=89344&newtest=Y&lang=en and a JavaScript workaround at http://docs.limesurvey.org/tiki-index.php?page=Workarounds&structure=English+In structions+for+LimeSurvey#Partially_Randomized_Answers_Multiple_Options_amp_List _radio_questions

The same concept could be applied to questions using the "Sort answers alphabetically" attribute.

Computation and Presentation of Branched Questions  
Written by miamiman the 5 Jan 10 at 00:39. Related project: 1.x all. Already implemented
Per my forum thread of today...

http://www.limesurvey.org/en/support/forums/2-design-issues/35836-statistical-o utput-problems-ver-187#35991

I can not be alone in suggesting that part of the idea of a branching survey structure is to filter out responses for specficic sub-sets of responses.

If my first question asks whether people are left-handed, and question two is only geared to left-handed people, I want to present the statistics for question 2 based on the SUB-SET ONLY.

Response Q1: 10% of London is left-handed.
Subset Response Q2: 67% of left-handed people in London like pizza.

The NO ANSWER computation makes the presentation of data arduous since basically it will have to be exported to a worksheet application and the charts will have to be plotted manually.

FEATURE REQUEST: That stats/graphs take into consideration the sub-sets created by one or "n" branched questions.

Solution #2: Add an option before running the stats report
Written by lemeur the 8 Jan 10 at 15:39.
Since 1.87, questions that have been hidden because will have answers field set to NULL in DB, which makes it possible to count only the total number of participants that has answer a given question.

Thus, we could add an option just before running the stats survey so that computations of percents are not computed against the total number of respondants for the survey, but the total number of respondant for this question.

Note however that this NULL differentiation of conditionnal questions makes sense only for completed responses (when the final submit button has been clicked), and thus the option would be available only when the Completed response filter is set.

Multiple Email Addresses / Admins?  
Written by Adam1V the 15 Oct 09 at 11:37. Related project: 2.x all. Already implemented
It would be nice if confirmation emails can be sent to more than one email address once the survey is completed?

Improving labelset access rights management  
Written by oddible the 29 Sep 09 at 17:47. Related project: 1.x all. Already implemented
From my understanding there is no way to create Array-type questions without using a Label Set. And Label Sets are global to the site. Therefore, if the Label Set doesn't exist I need to give my researchers access to Create / Edit Labels. This creates some problems:

1. A user may edit and change a label set that another user has in an active survey thus invalidating his results.

2. Users create SO MANY label sets that the list of existing label sets becomes functionally useless because it is impossible to find one that works for you (due to poor naming convention and overly specific label set creation).
(This issue is raised in a separate solution:

Solution #1: Some recommentations that would help:
Written by oddible the 29 Sep 09 at 17:47.
a) Separate the Label Set permission into two permissions: Create and Edit. That way users can create new ones but not mess up other people's existing ones.

b) Allow Label Set definitions that are User Specific or Survey Specific.

c) A button to copy labelsets to simplify the export/import alternative

d) locking a labelset (duplicate?) once a survey uses it for all but that survey's users with labelset rights

My only concern with these is creating too many duplicates of Label Sets.

Solution #2: Other ideas
Written by Kemmotar the 12 Oct 09 at 12:09.
Like oddible I think the best way to solve this problem is to change the way LimeSurvey manage LabelSet permissions.

Separate create/edit roles could be an good idea but I think this could be best used at group level instead on global level. With this solution one user could have edit role in his group but not in others.

- Create scenario: when one user create a labelset he has to set what group the LabelSet is associated with, chosen between groups in which the user is enrolled.

The rights are assigned in group page, adding another button beside the "Delete" one. This new button redirect to an another page in which the right (by now only this only one right, maybe other in the future) has to be set.

An user without administration role will view labelset in the list only if he has labelset edit role for that group.

In the database we have to modify LabelSet table adding two columns: "owner_id" and "ugid", which identify the labelset creator and the group associated to the labelset. Then we should create table lime_user_groups_rights, in which there are three columns: ugid [int], uid [int], edit_label[tinyint]. The latter identifies the editing right.

Move the question help image to the templates  
Written by Mazi the 29 Sep 09 at 11:02. Related project: 1.x all. Already implemented
Right now the question help icon is placed at /limesurvey/images. This makes it hard to style the question help section. You are not able to change the image using the template editor.

Solution #1: Move the question help image to the templates
Written by Mazi the 29 Sep 09 at 11:02.
By adding the question help image at every template and changing the code slightly to take the image from the template folder it ia possible to use your won question help icon and style this part by using CSS.
