Contributor jelo on the Question types category

MaxDiff / Best Worst Scaling question type / functionality  
Written by jelo the 9 Dec 09 at 09:38. Related project: 1.x all. New
Question type similar to a DualScale question type.

Difference is that you that you are not allowed to choose the same item on both scales.

Simple example would be : First scale "most important", second scale "least important". Now you show different items to choose from. With a dual scale question type it would be possible to choose the same item as "most important" AND "least important" which wouldn't allow to apply the MaxDiff method.

Solution #1: Translation of french workaround script into english as a start.
Written by jelo the 9 Dec 09 at 09:38.
Can somebody with french language skills take a look at the attached script and translate the comments into english? It would be a big step towards a broader adaption of maxdiff inside of limesurvey.

Solution #2: Small modification of 'Array (flexible labels) by column' questions
Written by lemeur the 3 Jan 10 at 13:59.
MaxDiff question is in fact a specific version of Array (flexible labels) by column:
* answers are "Makes me Most want to reenlist" and "Makes me Least want to reenlist"
* Labels are "Time off each week allowed for on-line college coursework", "Receive in-person personal counseling services", ...

Now for the new things (switchable by a question attribute):
* a new layout: display answers between the two columns
* a small javascript that prevents using the "Next/Commit" button if the same "Label" is used for the two "Answers"

Allow Welcomepage and Endpage as questionstypes.  
Written by jelo the 28 Apr 10 at 12:12. Related project: 1.x all. Implemented
Allow hiding Welcomepage (when you are linking different surveys together) or different Endpages (e.g. respondents get suitable redirection).

Selected solution (#2): Welcome/Endpage by settings
Written by c_schmitz the 19 Oct 10 at 11:59.
Create a new setting to hide the Welcome page.
The end page problem will be resolved by conditioned text blocks.

"Other answer" at a certain position in the list  
Written by jelo the 11 Nov 09 at 12:51. Related project: 1.x all. New
If you have "No answer" globally deactivated, you sometimes add an item "No answer" by hand to certain questions.

If you then want to use "other answer", the position of "other answer" is below "No answer".

So it would be a common feature to allow "Other answer" at a certain position in the list.

The most flexible way, would be to allow a "Other answer" field behind every item in the list.

Solution #1: Checkboxes behind the item list
Written by jelo the 11 Nov 09 at 12:51.
First idea would be to set position via checkboxes behind the item list, which would mean that the other box is displayed below this item.

The idea to allow to display a "other answers" behind every item would need additional fields beside the checkboxes.

Solution #2: Make the global 'No answer' option question-specific
Written by c_schmitz the 11 Nov 09 at 13:33.
I guess the better change would be to make the global 'no answer' option available per question. That way you can use it when you need it. This new option should only by available if question is set to be not mandatory.

Allow to save infos about browser, javascript, OS etc. into results  
Written by jelo the 11 Nov 09 at 14:50. Related project: 1.x all. In development
Make the infos like browser agent, javascriptversion, OS and additonal infos available in the results.

Some workarounds are not working with different browsers. E.g. you wonder why a hidden question was filled out with a invalid value (solution, very old browser wasn't hiding the question). If you have the additional infos at hand you can quickly pinpoint what might be the cause of that answer pattern.

The variables could also be made accessible for conditions.
But to save them into the results would be already a big help to give feedback about problems and weighting them in terms of how often they would occur in the field.

Selected solution (#1): A checkbox in the survey settings
Written by jelo the 11 Nov 09 at 14:50.
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.
