add additonal field for input mask (like e.g. validation field)
if there is text in the field,

1 ) limesurvey has to add the script in the head of the html question page.

2 ) and set the alt tag of the input field to the mask

3 ) call setmask for the field

that's all

I also could imagine not just having a text field for the input mask, I could imagine having a drop down list of predefined masks of which I chose the one I want to use for the input field. like e.g. decimal or singed-decimal or german phone number format ...

but if there is a drop down that contains the list of input masks there also has to be a posibillity to edit those entries and add addtional input masks for the user.

- 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

As a possible solution the number fields should know the language used by the survey participant (variable) and interpret the number correctly.

Create a new setting to hide the Welcome page.
The end page problem will be resolved by conditioned text blocks.

A small feature would be a "Comment"/"Notes" button next the "Edit question" button. That button opens a window that lets you write a small note in plain text, that is attached to the question.

In the "Surveys" menu there could be a feature that gave you all the notes on one screen, with each question.

A better feature would be a "review" mode instead of a "test" mode. This feature would allow reviewers to add small comments (and view existing comments) when they test the survey.

The notes would of course not be visible when the survey was active.

To do this successfully and easily in Limesurvey it would need to be something like this:
A new question type that is called RNG (random number generator).
The person creating the survey would be able to define the scale of the RNG, for example they would input '3' when setting up the question. And therefore the RNG would be between 1-3.

Every time the user encounters this question on the survey it would be a behind the scenes process that randomly generated a number instead of getting user input. The user would not be aware it happened nor see the number they were assigned.

Now the admin of the survey can set future question conditions on the RNG for this user.
For example all users who were assigned:
1 - will see a kitten
2 - a puppy
3 - a wolf eating a dead animal
followed by a question.

To measure the effects of the images on the user response it has to be randomized when the user takes the survey.

Adding in a RNG question type, to silently assign the user a number, allows the admin to easily define the scale of the RNG and also add multiple instances of it throughout the survey.

Add a column in the survey list screen to give estimated survey table size.

The database type is known, and the estimated table sizes limits are known. A survey could be scanned and an estimated table size shown and those nearing the limits could be displayed in a different color.

Here is what the manual says about table size and unfortunatly after writting a very long survey and then trying to activate it I discovered I was way over the limit of what my database would accept.

...regarding survey size
Note: 'Survey size' refers to the maximmum number of questions (and answers) in your survey - don't confuse this with the number of replies on your survey (there is no limitation on that). Theoretically there would also be no limit on the maximum number of questions/answers in LimeSurvey. But the database engine you are using has several limits. The most important one is the limit on the number of fields(columns) in the result table.


•MySQL ISAM: The sum of the lengths of the VARCHAR and CHAR columns in a table may be up to 64KB.
•MySQL InnoDB: Maximum number of 1000 columns

The maximum number of columns can be quadrupled by increasing the default block size to 32k. See Installation FAQ and PostgreSQL FAQ. The mySQL ISAM engine is the most tricky one. As it allows only up to 65,535 bytes per row and utf8 characters can require up to three bytes per character the maximum may be only 21,844 characters (but this depends on your DB encoding). You can roughly calculate the size of your survey like this: •Every multiple numerical question: 20 chars for each answer •Every multiple choice & array question answers: 5 chars for each answer •Every other question type: 5 chars •Add 10% for the usual overhead

perhaps a button directly to the right of the slider answer might somehow reset it. Text on (or next to) the button might say "skip" or "no answer"

Some of these information are available via the php function
get_browser(). A javascript part could also be added to get screen resolution and flash detection.

To include such infos into the results a checkbox in the surveysettings would be a good start.

I suggest to take a look at the question attribute code of "max/min_answers". If the question is not mandatory there should be no check if the question was filled out according to the attributes set.
If the question is mandatory the user has to answer the question correctly according to the values set for max/min_answers.
