In version 2, I'd like to see the code using Namespaces and an autoloader instead of include files. This is a PHP5 feature, and once you understand it, it makes finding the code much easier, and easier to test components that are outside the original layout.

I want to have the questionid in questionhelptext as attribute. As some workarounds are put into the helptext it would be great to have the questionid in the parent element so that it is easily possible to get the id and use it.

For instance, I want to have input masks on input fields for question types like short text.
regex only works after clicking on the submit or next button.
It would be great if there would be an input mask like in other software e.g. ms excel.

answering surveys would be more comfortable

I make surveys for my clients. We promise the people who participate that the reports I make are anonymous. But some users question this anonymity when they receive a conformation email.

I would like to be able to export answers in .xls.
.txt export is useful, but .xls export should be better because it would permitt to elaborate personal statistics and spreadsheets!

'Radio button' arrays as question types make tables with a single choice per row. This can be limiting and alternatives (text / numeric) can be overly complex.

Sometimes we want an array of single choice.

For example for a appoitment date and hour, we want the user select only one subquestion.

But the answer had to be presented in array: date in line, and hour in column for example.

I know switching to a framework would be quite bothersome, but I believe the benefits will be worth it.

Additionally, this will help move limesurvey foward into the future. Using a framework will prevent you from writing and maintaining code that's already been written by someone else.

It would be nice to have a checkbox with the option to count only the percentage of the completed answers.

e.g.:
current status
choice a - 50 25%
choice b - 30 15%
choice c - 20 10%
not completed - 100 50%

more interesting
choice a - 50 50%
choice b - 30 30%
choice c - 20 20%
not completed - 100 --

For larger organisations or specific projects the persons creating the survey do not necessarily equal the persons managing the survey. We have met several situations where our customer would like to get full control of inviting participants.

Our neighborhood association would like to use online voting. For verification purposes we would like to send an email with the answers the respondents submitted.

Sometimes having a tab is an easier delimiter to deal with than a comma, since with commas you need to quote the output if it has a comma within the text, e.g. address2 might need to be "Washington, DC".

Having the option to set the delimiter would be the most flexible, since then people could choose | or tab or whatever they wanted. So it could be similar to Answers (immediately above it) where instead of "CSV Format" it could say "Delimited Format", then the boxes underneath could say "Comma, Tab, Other". And I guess there could be a checkbox with the option of quoting the strings as well.

I'm almost done coding this for my local copy, which I can check into a github repository if that will help.

I am looking for surveys that other people have created that I might import into my system. It does not necessarily make sense to always reinvent the wheel. There are many applications of surveys where the questions will be quite similar if not the same. It would be very educational and a huge labor saver as well as enhance the LimeSurvey user community diversity and cohesiveness.

When analyzing the answers sometimes you need to exclude the people that opted no to answer an optional question.

If I want to measure the response of children watching different pictures, I have to make sure, that choice, order, etc. are randomized - in order to prevent systematic errors like halo effects (answer on later questions is influenced by an previous/earlier question/answer) etc. so that its possible to use limesurvey for experiments.

record start and end of survey completion in ' and ".

if that is registered one can measure survey completion time up to the average comlpetion time.

that we you can exclude survey speedsters from the results.

I'm using 1.86 so sorry if this is already done.

I've got a tokenised survey and I get a few emails saying 'I've already done it' when I know they have not and also some saying 'I'm not going to do it, please stop sending reminders'

At the moment I simply set Completed to 'Y' so they don't get further reminders but I don't like doing this as I am dirtying my own data by saying they have completed it when they have not.

I'd prefer to have a simple boolean Y/N called 'Send Reminders' that is Y by default but which I can set to N if necessary to stop reminders for that token.

I noticed there are several old posts on the forum (which have been locked) where people ask for this. I would suggest adding the following code to admin/admin.php - possibly with the option of a flag to specify whether or not secure login is required. The same could be done for individual surveys, so the admin could specify which surveys would be forced to be completed securely and which would not.

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.

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).

(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,
