Tics for slider layout  
Written by apps the 2 Feb 10 at 10:06. Related project: 1.x all. New
Tics (aka tic marks) should be visible under the slider bar.

See this sketch: http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/5295/10403feb10095848.gif

benefits: easy read, make it clear it's a slider with discrete values, catch where the handle is in respect to left and right limits.

Details:
type = multiple numerical input
options:
use slider layout = 1
slider min = 0
slider max = 10
slider accurancy = 1

up equal down
Solution #1: add an option
Written by apps the 2 Feb 10 at 10:06.
show_tics = 0 (default). Just as it is.
show_tics = 1 : the slider shows tics under the bar, between the slider_min and the slider_max values.

Saving Surveys (not anonymous) without Username and Password  
Written by halliballi123 the 9 Aug 11 at 10:21. Global category: Question types. Implemented
If I create a survey that is not anonymous.
I send invitations via email.

I want users to save their survey and come back later without having to create some user and password information.

All they should need is just their token to come back and go on with their survey.

I know that there is the option of answer persistence but this does not work if I let the useres answer the survey questions group by group and it is not intuitive for the users.

There has to be a explicit button for saving the survey unless users would not think that there is the possibility for saving the survey and come back later. Especially if they are not really computer experts

Best regards

Selected solution (#1): Add functionality for saving (not anonymous) without username and password
Written by halliballi123 the 9 Aug 11 at 10:21.
- Button for saving (allready exists)

- Option for the creator of surveys for not needing username and password for saving and loading survey answers for surveys that are not anonymous.

After some discussions we found a working solution. It is already implemented, you just have to use the correct settings:

# Participant may save and resume later? = yes
# Enable token-based response persistence? = yes
# Anonymized responses? = no

send automatically an email to the survey user with his datas  
Written by fradeff the 27 May 10 at 16:01. Related project: 1.x all. Already implemented
(please forgive my poor english... I'm french speaker)

We use at our university intensively limesurvey, and I really appreciate it: I'm not only using it for surveys, but also as a form-generator and gained a lot of time doing so. I was able with limesurvey to answer to dozens of demands reading the doc and adapting the surveys according to it.

But... several administrators of surveys ask me if it is not possible to send to the survey user (the person filling the survey, not the admin) an email with his/her information, when she submits the survey. This is very common on forms, but seems to miss in limesurvey.

I've googled and checked in doc + forum + ideas (here) without finding anything about that question, which surprised me, as I think could be quite interesting for many limesurvey users / administrators. So if I searched bad, please forgive me.

Personnally, I use the Automatic End URL to do that, but it's quite a lot of handmade job for each survey (get the survey sid and the answer id, parse the corresponding table fields name, send the mail, and so one for each new survey where this notification is required).

Hereafter a suggestion to add this feature

Hope this concerns other than us and that a solution can be found!

Best,

Solution #1: Add a question type "email + optional notification"
Written by fradeff the 27 May 10 at 16:01.
In all surveys (closed with email AND public-open), add a question-type named email (which could include a regexp check of the mail, which I also do "by hand"), and a checkbox with a label sthing like "Send collected datas to the email provided here".
