In some cases I want to switch design aspects on different pages.
Currently this is only partly possible (by putting
div class="group GROUPNAME"
in startgroup.pstl)

But sometimes a whole page needs another header, footer or color.

Giving each page an unique body class would make this possible. When each page is a group, it could be:
body class="groupidentification"
, this could even be an extra field on group definition pages, next to group name and group definition.

You could also do this on 1 question per page surveys.

Currently, if the ranking option is marked mandatory, then the maximum number of entries specified must be chosen; the minimum specified is ignored. According to the response for Bug Tracker ID 05599, the "mandatory" indicator should be marked No if a range is desired.
The standard text for the option indicates that at least x items must be chosen. So if the minimum is at least 1, then the question is, by default, mandatory. But, the question is not marked with an asterisk like all other mandatory questions.

To translate a question could take much time, if you have many answers. I tried the fast replace feature, but this replace the base language, too!!!
I tried the quick translation feature, but there are no group names & question id's displayed. If you get a translation by question and try to copy the translation into it, this quick translation feature is not very helpfull.

When i make a survey, LimeSurvey uses its internal ID to reference this survey in the URL. The idea is change this URL by a more easy.

Example: A survey with employees that did MBA.

"normal URL"
http://my.site.com/survey/index.php?sid=37424

"Clean/easy URL"
http://my.site.com/survey/mba

so, /mba is a alternative URL to /index.php?sid=37424.

Say to my user some thing like "Please, enter in 'my.site.com/survey/mba' and answer the survey!" is more easy (and mnemonic) that say a URL with text and numbers.

Currently the array headers will repeat according to a global setting. It would be helpful if needed that the global setting could be overridden for a advanced setting on the question itself. If nothing is entered on the question it will go by the default.

The template editor jumps to the top of the script upon saving. This is annoying because I want to continue editing just where I was.

The templates available for LimeSurvey are, compared to today's average webpage, rather unattractive. They lack attractive graphic elements like borders, fine colours, and colour gradients.

Also, the templates on the limesurvey website mostly miss screenshots. The descriptions include deadlinks in many cases.

The default template and other available templates are crucial for the attractiveness of limesurvey as a whole.

Sometimes it makes sense to limit the time to answer a rating question. In LS, though, it is not possible to limit the time of an array or radiobutton question, among other question types.

At the moment only super admins or the owner of the survey can modify the survey permissions.
If user A creates a survey and gives user B all rights to modify the survey, user B can not add other users to modify the survey. When user A goes on holidays and an other user (C) should get the rights to modify the survey, the admin have to be asked to do that.

The button is on the bottom right. Through my statistics I have seen, that more than every third person clicks on that at some point during the survey. A few of them then start over, most of them don't.

My guess is, that most of these clicks are accidental as users see a button to the right and click without reading because that's the expected position for next question group button.

I have now moved this button to the left and will write about my experiences with that later.

7 December UPDATE: Placement was in fact wrong!

After I moved the button its click-rate is now down to one in ten users (not one in three as before) - the ones that just don't want to take the survey. Before replacement some started over again - even two or three times - a sign of accidental hits. Now only very few start over again after hitting the button - and only once at most.

If Lime Survey is installed in such a way that the root url for the survey is a long character string, the generated SURVEYURL may be longer than the line size of the email program.

This results in the email program splitting the survey link over multiple lines, and in many email programs, these split URL's no longer function (i.e. the portion of the URL that does not fit on the first line is visible, but no longer part of the actual URL). Clicking on such a broken link will lead to a failed attempt to access the survey, frustrating the invitee.

Some users download Lime Survey but don’t have the knowledge to use it.

The Lime Survey page is filled with announcements and can be confusing to a novice user

The templates aren’t creative or consistent, they should be updated to look more modern with a new colour scheme. Possibly making it easier to edit templates too.

Sometimes, wee need to hide some question, or to put some specific class, or to put some javascript workaround etc ....

We can do it like this:
#questionXXXbackground:red
or
$("#questionXXXX").hide();

I think it can be good to have some extra class possibility fo all question type. Then we can have

.importantbackground:red
or
$(".hiding").hide();

For some example.

It offer hability to implement some javascript workaround on template easily, it offer possibility i don't think because extra class can be used by jquery.


Discussion on forum with Tony

It's for people who are not web designer, geek ou CSS addict....
It will be very nice if we have 2 possibilities to edit a template :
- as actually by using the full template edition page,
- with a wizard to only change to logo on a template, just for "users".
It will be use with a very simple template who the user can only change colors, fonts with one to 3 template's styles.


In this Wizard, the user will find only theses possibilities :
- upload your logo
- place for your logo (left, middle, right) at top top,
- choose the size in a list or in millimeter (or inch).
Is there a second one? at the right if the first was à the left?
and the user will preview and validate his changes.


So, all the users in small (or very small) enterprises (without IT service and without marketing service) can use LimeSurvey.....
For a more sophisticated template, they can use valuable services from IT enterprises.....

I tried using a dual scale array using mandatory question = no
"rating" | "trend" | "no answer"
The problem is that people can select something from "rating" without selecting a "trend". If I use mandatory question = yes than the participant has to answer this question.

Examples:
"rating" | "trend" | "no answer"
3 | up |" " (something from both arrays was selected)
1| " "|" " (only something from first array was selected)
" "| up |" " (only something from second array was selected)

So it would be nice to have some advanded options for specifaing what is mandatory for the dual scale array.

Sometimes we want to use limesurvey as a quiz/exam tool.
Participants should only have a specific time to fill this quiz (e.g. 15 Minutes).

Hi!

I try to explain my problem, already exposed in the section 'Can I do this with Limesurvey?' (Topic 'Users with registration and users with token assigned').

I have two groups of users for the same survey: one group have to registrate before partecipating the survey.
So I need to set "Allow public registration" = Y
This case works well: registration, email sent to the user, and access to the survey (user ignore which is the token assigned to him).

Other users have a personal token to access the same survey, but the admin hasn't the name, surname and email of each user. The admin can only configure tokens for these users, and a specific organization will distribute the tokens to users who do the request. Also the organization have not the name, surname and email of the user.

So, the "Allow public registration" = Y doesn't fit to this second case. In fact the user who has the personal token can access the survey entering his token, and without registering or receiving an email.

Already implemented something for this situation?

Thanks!

I run many surveys for many different companies on a Limesurvey account. What I would like to be able to offer them is:

real-time access to their survey results displayed in a dynamic interface, like a proper reporting tool. This would complete the delivery from Limesurvey, from start/invitations, through the survey runtime all the way to reporting the results.
