Timeout Countdown Ticker  
Written by paulwin79 the 20 Dec 10 at 05:55. Related project: 1.x all. Not an idea
In some surveys, users take a long time to think about answers to their questions and/or read resources that deal with the topic before they answer what is on the survey.

I'm currently dealing with a survey where takers have to read several resources before answering the survey. They are running into a session timeout due to them taking too long.

I'm requesting that there be a timeout countdown ticker that is option and perhaps can be tied into the session timeout. This would warn users that their time will run out before they attempt to submit and then find out that they timed out.

Customize themes to look like my web site.  
Written by LiLLiPinay the 24 Oct 10 at 20:30. Related project: 1.x all. Not an idea
I would like to see an option (WYSIWYG) to customize themes so that they look like the host domain that the survey is on without compromising the integrity of the LimeSurvey .ico brbrand.

A multiple instanceS installation layout  
Written by fhebert the 6 Sep 10 at 11:58. Related project: 1.x all. Not an idea
Use case :

I work at an university which some departments want to use LS for their research project. I would like to install LS in a multi-instance mode, one instance for each project. Every instance would share the very same source folder with Front end scripts and admin scripts eg the actual limesurvey folder.

This layout is very much like for example Typo3's installation layout on an Unix.

For now, it seems that we could find a workaround in installing the admin folder outside the limesurvey archive and share it with every instance, but it is not so helpfull because LS puts all files in the same archive. (For example, Typo3 comes with two archives one for the instance folder and one for the source folder).

Following is a layout example :

an instance folder :

/srv/www/lime-survey-instance1
/srv/www/lime-survey-instance1/config-defaults.php
/srv/www/lime-survey-instance1/config.php
/srv/www/lime-survey-instance1/tmp/
/srv/www/lime-survey-instance1/uploads/
/srv/www/lime-survey-instance1/uploads/templates
/srv/www/lime-survey-instance1/limesurvey => /usr/local/share/limesurvey


the source folder :

/usr/local/share/limesurvey
/usr/local/share/limesurvey/index.php

Solution #1: Modifying include directives to the new layout
Written by fhebert the 6 Sep 10 at 11:58.
Don't know exactly what to do.
Maybe move FE php scripts in a subfolder and switch include/require_once directives to take into account a variable which would be defined in the config.php file.

Is it the $rootdir variable ?

Total number of question as a global data  
Written by pneweb the 22 Feb 10 at 11:41. Related project: 1.x all. Not an idea
Some surveys can have a very important number of questions cause by many conditions. A big number of question can make users "afraid" to answer the survey. So, it would be interesting not display this number if we want.

Solution #1: Total number of question as a global data
Written by pneweb the 22 Feb 10 at 11:41.
Such as "allow save", it would be interesting to create a new parameter in survey's paramaters page, called "display total number of question"yes/no.
