Perhaps we can have a tick box for admin to select if they want the comments to be exported in PDF and Excel.

Not sure how it would be done in the back end but basically add a checkbox to the "Notification & data management" panel to include the startlanguage column of the lime_survey_SID table in the exportable data.

To toggle the questions to optional, the button would query the DB, find all questions in the current survey with mandatory=Y and change them to mandatory=M.

We need to use "M" so we can find them to toggle them back later.

The system would see "M" as non-mandatory so all of these questions could now be skipped in a Q/A process.

This way only the questions that the survey author had set to mandatory would be affected.

I've put together a little php script to demonstrate the concept that you can grab at http://partnersinc.biz/testsites/misc_images/mandatory_toggle.txt (can't seem to attach anything here!).

A more elegant solution may be to have the button/input set a session variable to disable the "checkmandatorys" function. (thanks Carsten)

Some red text could then be displayed at the bottom of the survey indicating that it is in "Q/A" mode and all questions are optional.

PHPList is an open source newsletter package that I use to keep in touch with my subscribers.

It has an email queue that automatically works through batches of emails until it has sent all them all. The email queue can process automatically using cron jobs.

Since PhPList is open source and LimeSurvey is open source, maybe PHPList would share some lessons learned and allow sharing of some of theri current code?

There could be two new question attributes added. One would switch on/off "No answer" option for specific question and second could overwrite default "No Answer" text.

Maybe there's a way to add a custom field while setting up the tokens and assign every imported customer his/her group e.g. "A", "B" or "C". When the customer completed the survey the group is saved with the results in the database.

Could you have a survey editor, much like you have a template editor, that allows you to:

- Alter each invidual question's placement on the survey
- Alter the size that each Lable set's data option takes up on the page (Bad example, but let's say I have a 1 through 10 custom array, where the first 9 options are the numbers 1-9 and the 10th is a 50 char paragraph)

In additon to that, it would also be nice to have a multiple question editor:

-where you could select all or multiple questions on the survey at the same time and be able to change their lable set, their font, their lable answers, whatever else one would want.
-where you can change multiple questions on the fly without having to go into each individual question, similar to what it would look like if you went into mysql and changed it (not recommended!).

I have some surveys that are over 500 questions long, with multiple conditional questions. So what I have been doing in these cases is export to excel, alter the survey there (I have built a .csv builder that concatenates all of the necessary criteria from excel to a very long string if anyone is interested) and then upload back into LS, it is time consuming, but much less than altering each question individually on the front end.

PS. You guys are awesome! I hope this takes off like mint did!

Probably still maintain somewhere in database which label set is used for which questions and use this info for update of label description at questions after update of the label set. Maybe a button at survey saying "update to latest status of label sets" or something like that could do the job.

Some research needs to be done to decide what should be integrated and how that can be accomplished. I think the most important is to synchronize or share the users:
- from Limesurvey, Drupal users could be invited to fill out a survey;
- users of a Drupal site could fill out (and create?) surveys without logging in again (single sign on);
- a logged-in user could see in Drupal which surveys are available for him.

At least, a Drupal module would be needed. Depending on the architecture and API's of Limesurvey2, a module/mod/plugin/addon for Limesurvey might be needed as well.

In case of Typo3 CMS, an existing and published survey can be integrated into its frontend via iFrame technology (after installing an iFrame-enabler extension, eg. Flexform based IFrame (ffiframe)). Similar solution can exist on Drupal or other CMSs as well.

For the integration of admin part of LimeSurvey as a CMS module, i cant't see much benefit from.

Maybe the team could develop a default test-survey with different kinds og questions, and a script to simulate XX number of simultanous users.
That way a server admin could easyly get information on mysql performance etc. to optimize the server.

Maybe selenium twisted can be used: http://agiletesting.blogspot.com/2005/03/web-app-testing-with-python-part-2.htm l

add a table with 2 columns
|attribute name | attribute value|

and simply enlist each attribute with has a non-empty value.
It's up to the survey designer to understand, use and act in respect to the showed data.

If answer to current question is X
then goto question A
else continue.

Or better:
If answer to current question:
is X
then goto question A
is Y
then goto question B
is Z
then goto question C
else continue to next question.

This solution requires first that Negation be implemented in current Hide/Show LS conditions.

Than we would add a new branch-jump-condition mode which would show a brand new condition editor: this would be an XOR (either use Hide/show OR Branch/Jump mode).

The conditions in branch-Jump mode will then have to be compiled into the old conditions system to be effective: assuming that negation has been implemented in hide/show conditions, this should not be difficult. The remarining issue is when you add/move a question/group after having compiled the jump-conditions: in this case we should enforce new compilation of conditions.

Id really like a setup wizard that allowed for updating of the config.php file. It would be really good if errors could then be displayed to indicate the entries that are stopping the install from proceeding.
