For instance, if someone needs to override the $publicurl value, it has to be done in the config-defaults.php. When a user creates their config.php, they might have all the information they need to set the $publicurl, yet they cannot set the value in the config.php.

By updating the config-defaults.php to first check if the variable has been set, we can keep the user's version of the variable and set a default if needed.

$publicurl = isset($publicurl) ? $publicurl : "$rooturl";

Of course there are several ways to do this same logic.

With the code above, if a user were to set a value for $publicurl in their config.php, it would not be overwritten by the config-defaults.php. If the user does not set the value manually, the value will still be set to the default value.

The Lime Survey page should show the prerequisites to use Lime Survey.

I don't know if this is the best method, but I could make use of 2 end message boxes on the edit survey settings page, one for default and positive ending, and one for a negative ending. Or you could just implement multiple pages where I can select to edit a page and customize it.

Then in the survey questions area, use the conditional logic function to direct people to whichever page/ending I choose.

Proccess :

1 Login as admin of the survey
2 Go to saved responses
3 Click on a new fonction to "create new saved session for respondent".
4 Enter the ID of the response that need to go back in save mode enter a user name/password and validate.
5 the script then can create a new scid entry in the table and send the notification directly to the respondent in order to re enable him to fulfill it's previous answer.

I believe a possible mechanism would be to support the TOTAL placeholder within the end URL.

Alternatively if the database stored the total assessment score.

Create an interface that presents the welcome text, groups, question text, help text, sub-questions, etc. to the translator, and then writes the translated text directly to the database.

You can view a demonstration here:

http://surveys.pentalibra.com/translator/starttrans.php?sid=29846

There are two ways of approaching a solution.

1) Present the translator in an interface outside of LimeSurvey admin. In other words, the idea is similar to filling out a survey. The presenation can be customised using a CSS template.

2) Present the translation interface as part of the LimeSurvey admin interface. This will require creating a new user type of translator, and will require login.

I don't have a specific technical solution, beyond the suggested functionality in the idea description.

Does anyone know if it is possible recover the code responded to a question previously answered? The Comen INSERTANS: SSSSXGIDXQID returns the text of selected item, is there any command that returns the code? This would be useful in a multilingual questionnaire, for each language in the text changes, but the code remained the same.

Rather then creating a Live/Inactive/Expired for 'each' developer, I suggest tagging a survey with an abbreviation of the developers name.

Add a button to the survey button bar, next to "Token management"
Create a page to review all conditions in the current SurveyID

These placeholders are used at several parts of the code so there should be some function to search for these strings. Shouldn't be hard to delete them in a next step.

It would seem to me that someone very smart person could make some script to convert survey data into mindmap data.

This would be a straight export from LimeSurvey to the mindmap data structure.

Branches can be colorcoded to denote conditions.

I agree that the MindMap Structure wouldn't really work.

But I know some survey tools, that use a kind of "folder structure" as we know it from file explorers, etc.

I think this can display filters and so on pretty well. At the moment Quotas, Filters, and questions are somehow displayed very seperate and it difficult to get a good overview of the survey (I do agree with the GregB here).

But with the folder tree, you can show loops, filters, pages/groups and questions, which can be especially helpful for long and complicated surveys.

This can be done with a single page, 2 tables.

Table0: REVIEW ALL GROUPS
| gID | qTitle | gDesc |

Table1: REVIEW ALL QUESTIONS
| qID | qText | qHelp |

Edit on-the-fly:
Every table is also a form, and a final [Update] button applies the changes to all the fields.

Keep all the tables in solution #1
Instead of a [Update], put a column at the end of every row, it's a "Edit" link that shortcuts to proper edit page of the question. That way, you reuse a php page and cut short on time.

A simple list, sort of like one proposed by Mazi in forum post #34111 would be great.

As given by example above:

SatWRes 78787X1X3
FirstName 78787X1X4

and so on.

Store at least TOTAL. If possible, PERC and ASSESSMENT_CURRENT_TOTAL too.

I think it is not the best way to store a score that may be subject to changes when editing a response. Best would be to calc the values during export.
