the idea is to create a timer that creates tokens en send these customers the survey automaticly.

allso with big surveys, this can be used auto email the survey to groups 100 each time to avoid spam problems.

I have created a better looking template here: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=40822a586423d076d0d290dca69ceb5ce04e75f6e8eb b871
Although I do believe someone could do better than me quick effort?

Instead of using the ID to sort the list to send out the invitations, use a function to randomize that list. Since every mail has to get created individually, you only have to check the range of the IDs and check for not having duplicates while sending out.

Thank you in advance ;)

As was done for R and SPSS, add an export option for SAS.

SAS can import CSV if needed, but our users are asking for something that's easier - like they see for SPSS in LimeSurvey.

SAS can read SPSS files if need be, so I guess that's another option:

though it would be nice to be able to export directly in SAS format.

Maybe the team could develop a default test-survey with different kinds og questions, and a script to simulate XX number of simultanous users.
That way a server admin could easyly get information on mysql performance etc. to optimize the server.

Maybe selenium twisted can be used: http://agiletesting.blogspot.com/2005/03/web-app-testing-with-python-part-2.htm l

Could you have a survey editor, much like you have a template editor, that allows you to:

- Alter each invidual question's placement on the survey
- Alter the size that each Lable set's data option takes up on the page (Bad example, but let's say I have a 1 through 10 custom array, where the first 9 options are the numbers 1-9 and the 10th is a 50 char paragraph)

In additon to that, it would also be nice to have a multiple question editor:

-where you could select all or multiple questions on the survey at the same time and be able to change their lable set, their font, their lable answers, whatever else one would want.
-where you can change multiple questions on the fly without having to go into each individual question, similar to what it would look like if you went into mysql and changed it (not recommended!).

I have some surveys that are over 500 questions long, with multiple conditional questions. So what I have been doing in these cases is export to excel, alter the survey there (I have built a .csv builder that concatenates all of the necessary criteria from excel to a very long string if anyone is interested) and then upload back into LS, it is time consuming, but much less than altering each question individually on the front end.

PS. You guys are awesome! I hope this takes off like mint did!

I don't know much of programming, but an INSERTANS-like solution would be nice.
Or, if you could make the "other?" option of a question an answer-field itself.

solution should be able to import survey structure exported by limesurve, and display the questions on the screen in a manner that enables them to be completed.
The app should then be able to export (sync), the collected data with the Limesurvey database of the specified on-line survey

All the components are pre-existing in the LS system.
So, all we need to do is to connect them together and add a new page to surveys where one can upload the csv contacts or punch in the email ids manually.

sorry, I'm not sure how things are saved. The idea though is I would like a timestamp sort of function recorded along with the response for each question.

The export to Word/Excel/PDF option should be thoroughly revised so that it produces easy to read responses.

The 'zoom in' on a single response should be changed. It should be presented exactly as the survey-taking screen (optionally divided in multiple screens or just all questions on one screen) and all the answers provided should be filled in. All fields can also be set to 'read only'. But this is a good way to view one single response. You can then even read the dual scale arrays correctly, easily see which checkbox-answers are ticked by a particular question...

A combination of the printable survey layout filled with the answers of 1 or all persons who filled in a survey.

Maybe use XForms or ODF as standard output format for optimal use?

2) before sending the mail, check the placeholders; give a warning and do not send the mail if a placeholder is undefined (i.e. not present in the data model)

I think the OMR extension can be implemented easily, because LimeSurvey may cooperate with an open source OMR system, which is named "Shared Questionnaire System(SQS)". It is written in Java, JavaScript and XSLT. The source files, documents and executables are distributed from http://dev.sqs2.net/projects/show/sqs . It is licensed under Apache License Version 2.
Some screenshots of SQS are available from http://dev.sqs2.net/wiki/sqs/Quick_Tour .

I have been developing SQS for over 6 years and I am interested in implementing the OMR extension. Any help will be much appreciated.

Not sure how it would be done in the back end but basically add a checkbox to the "Notification & data management" panel to include the startlanguage column of the lime_survey_SID table in the exportable data.

Read and appreciate benefits of specification: http://www.triple-s.org/sssxml12f.htm and see how these could be incorporated in the product.

Reaching this specification would help LimeSurvey increase user base as software would be industry standard compliant.
