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.

When tokens are defined, instead of merely asking "how many", it would need to change to a list format that asked the field names (and types, but that's a different issue!)

Either add the asterisk if the minimum is greater than zero, or allow the minimum value to be used when "mandatory" is Yes.

In Drupal (www.drupal.org), we make a node (story, page, blog's page, etc) and it gives a url like:

my.page.com/?q=node/32

And i can change this URL automatically using a module or writing the final part of URL, like this:

my.page.com/title-of-my-post

Inside of Drupal, have a table where have the 'translation' between system's url and user's url.

In the "Edit text elements", to add more one field for final message, that will filled with a thanks text or explanation about the closing of survey.

Is more a consideration's question that a tecnical's question.

Both Twig (http://twig.sensiolabs.org/) and Smarty (http://www.smarty.net/) are dedicated template engines in PHP that can be used as the V part of a MVC framework. They're fast and support caching. Both use a decorator design pattern, much more flexible that the traditional set of "includes" that force the designer to add all sorts of "if" statements in a complex environment.

There should be a copy button for whole groups.

The conditions on a group is a request, which is already mentioned in another idea.

Change the printable survey and the on-line displayed survey to include the numbering scheme above. It should be able to support BOTH question codes and question numbering, e.g. [2.4:years_in_therapy]

An idea would be to check the validation after the persons "leaves" the question. For example with events like focusout, blur, change, click or whatever would be suitable to check whether the persons finished answering a question.

Think of this idea: http://ideas.limesurvey.org/ideatorrent/idea/343/

Can combine the 2 idea:
- extra input for survey : put in body (startpage.pstl and other)
- extra inout for group : add GROUP_ID and GROUP_CLASS in startgroup.pstpl, groupdescription, question.pstpl
- extra input for each question : included in QUESTION_CLASS (question.pstpl)

Have a check box in the advanced settings for array questions that allows to define unique repeating settings for that question. The user would then enter the number of rows that it would like the header to repeat.

Similar to checking an exclusive option on Multiple Choice questions and then entering the Answer Code.

If the box is not checked, the headers repeat according to the global settings.

Measures should be taken to encourage users to make visually attractive and well-working templates and to publish them on the limesurvey website.

Those with an interest in promoting LS should develop a bigger set of high-quality templates.

E.g.
equals sum set to 30.
initial sum for x, y, z is 10.

The respondent changes the value of x to 14.
The system automaticcally changes y and z to be 8.
The repsondent then changes the value of x again. This time to 13.
The system automaticcally changes y and z to be 8.5.
The respondent now changes the value of y to 10
The system either
----a) assumes that x is set, and therefore changes z to 7
----b) changes x to 12.25 and changes z to 7.75

I propose that one or more of the commonly used URL shortening services be contacted to determine if they have an API that would allow Lime Survey (or Lime Service) to call the URL shortening service with the value of SURVEYURL and return with a value which would be stored in SHORTSURVEYURL.

The user would have the option of using the SHORTSURVEYURL in email templates to guarantee that survey urls generated by Lime Survey would be shorter than the "typical" line size of an email program.

After initially posting this idea, I came across an existing API for the tinyurl service. Rather than repeating the code here, I will reference the page where it can be found...

The fact that this API already exists means that Lime Survey does not need to search for a URL shortening API!
