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

New question type for LimeSurvey  
Written by mkhines the 20 Jan 10 at 16:19. Related project: 1.x all. Implemented
There are surveys we take that require some degree of geographic information to be submitted.

Rather than ask novice/general public users to use a GPS and submit coordinates (which invariably end up incorrect), we would like to have them use a map-style interface like Google maps, where they can drag and drop the pin where they were when they saw what they are reporting, and then have the question type save the latitude and longitude of their dropped pin.

Selected solution (#1): Google Map drag and drop pin grabs coordinates
Written by mkhines the 20 Jan 10 at 16:19.
Give users a small map as a question, with a pushpin dropped in the middle. The user can move the pin around to the proper location on the map to select where they were. They can also zoom to a place in order to jump to the proper level of detail in order to accurately place the pin. E.g. a search box which if they typed in Madison, WI, would jump and center the map on Madison, WI, and have the pin handy for them to refine its location.

Exclude_all_others auto-checking  
Written by c_schmitz the 15 Dec 10 at 21:53. Related project: 1.x all. Implemented
From time to time we encounter the next situation: we have a multiple selection question, we will like to be able to know when someone has selected all the options so we can direct them to another question.

For that we suggest making the 'All of the above' option automatically kick in if the participant checks all other options.

Selected solution (#1): Add a new attribute
Written by c_schmitz the 15 Dec 10 at 21:53.
Add a new attribute

$qattributes["exclude_all_others_auto"]=array(
"types"=>"M",
'category'=>$clang->gT('Logic'),
'sortorder'=>101,
'inputtype'=>'singleselect',
'options'=>array(0=>$clang->gT('No'),
1=>$clang->gT('Yes')),
'default'=>0,
"help"=>$clang->gT('If the participant marks all options, uncheck all and check the option set in the "Exclusive option" setting'),
"caption"=>$clang->gT('Auto-check exclusive option if all others are checked'));


and implement it accordingly.

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.

Using German as survey language permits "," as decimal separator  
Written by Arthonas the 7 Apr 10 at 13:23. Related project: 1.x all. Implemented
In a field declared as a number field it is not possible to fill in numbers with a "," as decimal separator even if the language choosen should allow this (e.g. German). This can cause a lot of confusion to survey participants if they get an error when the number ist typed in correctly.

Selected solution (#1): Interpret number in dependence of the choosen survey language
Written by Arthonas the 7 Apr 10 at 13:23.
As a possible solution the number fields should know the language used by the survey participant (variable) and interpret the number correctly.

Selected solution (#1): Ability to attach / upload files
Written by tiprichard the 25 Sep 09 at 17:08.
Define the ability to attach files to the different types of questions. Have an extra field in the database to store the file in the database.
