Offline Surveys  
Written by holch the 26 Feb 10 at 02:31. Related project: 2.x all. New
I was thinking about this quite a while already. It is not always possible to do a interview online (CAWI) or via telephone (CATI). When programming is necessary CAPI comes into the game.

However, most CAPI-Tools are old and boring and additionally you have to have still another program.

However, wouldn't it be greate to be able to use Limesurvey for all those purposes. However, even with UMTS/3G it is not always possible or reliable enough to do it with a online survey tool.

Solution #1: Limesurvey CAPI feature
Written by holch the 26 Feb 10 at 02:31.
In times of Google Gears and HTML5 I was wondering if it would be possible to use the survey offline?

Tine20.org for example is using Gears to make the application usable offline. Or Gmail, etc.

I am not sure if this is possible with a very complex and flexible tool like Limesurvey, but maybe it is?

Totals fields for Array (Multi Flexi) (Text) (numbers only)  
Written by evan the 25 Feb 10 at 01:42. Related project: 1.x all. New
We have a survey that requires participants to fill in a time sheet. We would like to show them the total hours for each task. We also need to record these totals in the survey results.

Solution #1: Add three additional attributes for Array (Multi Flexi) (Text) (numbers only)
Written by evan the 25 Feb 10 at 01:42.
1 it might be worth making the question Array (Multi Flexi) (Text) (attribute: numbers only) into it's own question type

2 add the following attributes:
Show totals
* row = total for each row (an additional column)
* col = total for each column (an additional row)
* both = totals for both columns and rows (an additional row and column)

store totals in results
* 1 = store column/row totals in results

Grand total
* 1 = show grand total only
* 2 = store grand total in results (do not display)
* 3 = show grand total and store in results

Java script would calculate totals for columns/rows and would be able to hand negative numbers and floating point numbers.

for visual example see

Please ignore styling as this should be done with CSS.

I can help with the HTML side but can't help with JS, DB LS admin stuff.
