Language lost when saved unfinished survey  
Written by digibis the 2 Feb 12 at 13:30. Global category: Tokens. Not an idea
In a survey without token table, when an user saves an unfinished survey in a different language than original survey language, the dispatched confirmation email contains an hyperlink to the unfinished survey in original survey language and it loses the prefered user language.

Solution #1: Language in hyperlink of the confirmation email of an unfinished survey
Written by digibis the 2 Feb 12 at 13:30.
The hyperlink of the confirmation email is created in the element "$message" of function "savedcontrol()" of file "./limesurvey/save.php".

In the line

"$message.=$publicurl."/index.php?sid=$surveyid&loadall=reload&scid=".$scid."&l oadname=".urlencode($_POST['savename'])."&loadpass=".urlencode($_POST['savepass' ]);"

add

"&lang=".$clang->getlangcode().""

after

"/index.php?".

This change saves the hyperlink with the language than the unfinished survey was save.

Users opinion on the survey  
Written by ShellZero the 18 Jan 12 at 17:21. Global category: Statistics. Not an idea
The creator of the survey is provided with an option of obtaining statistics of his survey. The statistics consists of number of responses,incomplete responses and so on! But the creator of the survey has no idea what is the user's opinion on his survey!

Solution #1: Providing a like button at the end of the survey
Written by ShellZero the 18 Jan 12 at 17:21.
So if we provide an option for the users to "like" a survey at the end,we can track how many users liked the particular survey and we can display them in the Response Summary.

File upload not working in embedded surveys  
Written by prady the 23 Dec 11 at 16:58. Global category: Question types. Not an idea
The current file upload method doesn't work in embedded surveys with the "iframe" tag.
That's because the script violates the "Same origin policy".

This will be very good for participants  
Written by persmash the 15 Dec 11 at 23:34. Global category: Import/Export. Not an idea
"Participants may print answer" option is good but it shows all questions. This is not required and bad for participants.

Solution #1: Option for this
Written by persmash the 15 Dec 11 at 23:34.
Maybe you can add an option to chose which will be printed? "All questions or only checked questions?"

An open question on the Lime Survey quality assurance survey, “‘What would you recommend Lime Survey to add to its programme to make it better?” should be added

Intelligent Progress Bar  
Written by HIV7 the 21 Feb 11 at 15:00. Related project: 1.x all. Not an idea
When you got a Survey with for example 16 questions. The first one is about the grade you had in maths in the primary school. Depending on that choice 3 different questions are posted. So the questions 2 to 16 are conditional, due to the grade selected in the first question and each user has only 4 question the get through the survey.

Unfortunately the progress bar depends on the whole amount of questions in the survey. So after question 1 the User only has 6,25% and NOT 25% (what would be right in that case).

That leads to minimize the motivation of the survey users, because they think they're still at the beginning but in real they've nearly finished.

Solution #1: Intelligent Progress Bar includes conditions
Written by HIV7 the 21 Feb 11 at 15:00.
In my view it would be great to have an algorithm, that calculates the user's way through the survey and shows his result in the progress bar.

Subcategories  
Written by Jule111 the 21 Jun 11 at 10:05. Global category: Question types. Not an idea
We have categories in limesurvey that have parent categories that we cannot put into limesurvey. These parent categories are needed to graph the results properly. Anyone else need this or have a solution to graphing with the parent category and total points?

To be able to use 3rd party assessment tool question & answer codes  
Written by wabrit the 8 Jun 11 at 11:31. Global category: Logic & Conditions. Not an idea
I'm investigating the possibility of using limesurvey as the UI front end to 3rd party assessments; these are assessments defined by other vendors.

One characteristic of these assessments is that they already have question and answer codes defined by the vendor, and it's important to be able to tie back the questions and answers within limesurvey to their source.

limesurvey limits answer code lengths to 5 characters and question code lengths to 20; some of the 3rd party assessments define codes that exceed these lengths.

Solution #1: Remove or increase question & answer code length limits
Written by wabrit the 8 Jun 11 at 11:31.
If the question and answer code lengths were increased (perhaps to 128 characters each) or the maximum removed then it would be easier to use 3rd party codes directly in the assessments.

negative integers as answer codes makes further data analysis easy  
Written by lovepade the 16 May 11 at 14:51. Global category: Statistics. Not an idea
I am pretty sure that in 1.90 I had negative intergers for some of my answer codes. But in 1.91 this is not allowed - and the documentation is very clear on this: http://docs.limesurvey.org/Adding+answers+or+subquestions&structure=English+Ins tructions+for+LimeSurvey

This is not a huge problem, as I can always recode the answer options, when I export the results to excel or R or SPSS or what not. But it is a minor inconvenience that I am curious about; is it necessary?

Sometimes it makes sense to code with negative numbers. E.g.
Like a lot (+2)
Like a litle (+1)
Neutral (0)
Dislike a litle (-1)
Dislike a lot (-2)

Solution #1: allow for negative integers as answer code:-)
Written by lovepade the 16 May 11 at 14:51.
Already alpha numeric is allowed - so why not add "-" to the allowed characher set?

When exported I then just have to convert from str to numeric (in R just as.numeric()) - = easy

Advanced Assessment  
Written by jumper51 the 11 Feb 11 at 00:24. Related project: 2.x all. Not an idea
Many ideas are dealing with different types of evaluation of assessments i.e. the percentage of A, B or C responses. Other ideas suggest the averages, totals, etc. to be calculated. Still others suggest that these data should be presented in different graphs (spider web, columns or bars).

I think all these approaches are inadequate and would only inflate Limesurvey instead of make it flexible! I also think that everyone should be able to make his own evaluations.

Solution #1: Input Formats
Written by jumper51 the 11 Feb 11 at 00:24.
Allow admins to define the allowed input formats (based on users and groups) for any given question and especially assesment texts. Input formats could include structured text, plain text, html and (!) php. The LS replacement-field values should be easily accessible in php.

Since i can only propose one idea, the html input format should be extended by making the replacement-field values (easily) accessible via javascript.

Timeout Countdown Ticker  
Written by paulwin79 the 20 Dec 10 at 05:55. Related project: 1.x all. Not an idea
In some surveys, users take a long time to think about answers to their questions and/or read resources that deal with the topic before they answer what is on the survey.

I'm currently dealing with a survey where takers have to read several resources before answering the survey. They are running into a session timeout due to them taking too long.

I'm requesting that there be a timeout countdown ticker that is option and perhaps can be tied into the session timeout. This would warn users that their time will run out before they attempt to submit and then find out that they timed out.

End URL in overview should open in new browser tab or window  
Written by ElMatador69 the 12 Dec 10 at 18:13. Related project: 1.x all. Not an idea
I created a new survey with an end url.
Afterwards I clicked in the overview on the end url link.
The end url link opened in the same browser tab.
On the landing page I clicked the browser back button to go back to the LimeSurvey administration site. By this action the data was sent again and the survey was created again.

Unlimited questions, etc.  
Written by Nataliemcmullen the 25 Nov 10 at 17:16. Related project: 2.x all. Not an idea
There would be an unlimited amount of questions, answers and responses. There would be no need to worry about whether or not there is enough room to store everything.

Solution #1: Create relational tables
Written by Nataliemcmullen the 25 Nov 10 at 17:16.
The relational tables are a much more efficient way of storing things. It would make it so that everything would take up much less space and all user could have unlimited answers and surveys.

Better statistics model

Solution #1: Add a statistics model
Written by Nataliemcmullen the 25 Nov 10 at 17:03.
You could add a grapher, which could graph the statistics models that anyone could need. The simple one could be free but a more advanced one you could charge for.
