In 1.92, there are a lot of new tip ( EM validation etc ..)

Maybe we ca have multi solution for hide_tip option:

0 : allways show ( default)
1 : hide in css and show if error ( actual no)
2 : completely remove tip ( even in HTML)

Because, maybe there are some user who don't want tip, but want use help text like a tip :).

Templating is great, but there's no reason that Limesurvey should have its own.

In some cases I want to switch design aspects on different pages.
Currently this is only partly possible (by putting
div class="group GROUPNAME"
in startgroup.pstl)

But sometimes a whole page needs another header, footer or color.

Giving each page an unique body class would make this possible. When each page is a group, it could be:
body class="groupidentification"
, this could even be an extra field on group definition pages, next to group name and group definition.

You could also do this on 1 question per page surveys.

The templates available for LimeSurvey are, compared to today's average webpage, rather unattractive. They lack attractive graphic elements like borders, fine colours, and colour gradients.

Also, the templates on the limesurvey website mostly miss screenshots. The descriptions include deadlinks in many cases.

The default template and other available templates are crucial for the attractiveness of limesurvey as a whole.

The template editor jumps to the top of the script upon saving. This is annoying because I want to continue editing just where I was.

The button is on the bottom right. Through my statistics I have seen, that more than every third person clicks on that at some point during the survey. A few of them then start over, most of them don't.

My guess is, that most of these clicks are accidental as users see a button to the right and click without reading because that's the expected position for next question group button.

I have now moved this button to the left and will write about my experiences with that later.

7 December UPDATE: Placement was in fact wrong!

After I moved the button its click-rate is now down to one in ten users (not one in three as before) - the ones that just don't want to take the survey. Before replacement some started over again - even two or three times - a sign of accidental hits. Now only very few start over again after hitting the button - and only once at most.

The Lime Survey page is filled with announcements and can be confusing to a novice user

The templates aren’t creative or consistent, they should be updated to look more modern with a new colour scheme. Possibly making it easier to edit templates too.

Sometimes, wee need to hide some question, or to put some specific class, or to put some javascript workaround etc ....

We can do it like this:
#questionXXXbackground:red
or
$("#questionXXXX").hide();

I think it can be good to have some extra class possibility fo all question type. Then we can have

.importantbackground:red
or
$(".hiding").hide();

For some example.

It offer hability to implement some javascript workaround on template easily, it offer possibility i don't think because extra class can be used by jquery.

It's for people who are not web designer, geek ou CSS addict....
It will be very nice if we have 2 possibilities to edit a template :
- as actually by using the full template edition page,
- with a wizard to only change to logo on a template, just for "users".
It will be use with a very simple template who the user can only change colors, fonts with one to 3 template's styles.


In this Wizard, the user will find only theses possibilities :
- upload your logo
- place for your logo (left, middle, right) at top top,
- choose the size in a list or in millimeter (or inch).
Is there a second one? at the right if the first was à the left?
and the user will preview and validate his changes.


So, all the users in small (or very small) enterprises (without IT service and without marketing service) can use LimeSurvey.....
For a more sophisticated template, they can use valuable services from IT enterprises.....

I often apply custom css styling to certain questions. I also often copy surveys (or base new ones on old ones).

The custom styling is dependant on the specific question_ID, like this:

#question2736 .answer_cell_001
background-color: #ff0000;


So when I copy a survey I must 1) copy the template, 2) assign a new template 3) change all #question classes to the new questionclass. As this is not trivial and can only be done by inspecting the stylesheet of both surveys, it would be really swell with a smart way of doing this.

I have several users who create Surveys. There are some settings that all of them should use. I have a written a guide which settings the users should set.

But sometimes people just forget.

So I think it would be best to have a option to define presets for survey settings.

There is no template file for the "enter token" screen.

It is not possible now to modify that screen, when you need to add there any elements, a survey description placeholder for example.

That page is hard-coded in index.php so you would need to modify that file. Changes are difficult and not effective. That php file is overwritten during updates of the installation.

I would like to be able to quickly and easily customize the look and feel of the admin pages. Just as we can controls the survey templates, I'd like to have customizable colors, layouts, icons, etc. for the admin functions.

It's really hard to edit templates; and the editor freezes up often.

I made a design for the survey and the data from the survey needs to be public in a friendly way and would be great if can generate/preview the survey with the design and responses .

Questions will be stored in the database as templates (similiar to label templates). This make users in the organizationg able to sharing, reusing questions (question types) instead of import from files.

I am creating a survey for a client who wants to run the survey on their own
subdomain. Naturally, they don't want to host it themselves, so they are
pointing their subdomain at my server. I can get sort of close to making this
work with the right combination of vhosts and rewrite rules in the webserver,
but several things still don't work right. For example, SURVEYURL in the
email notification templates still gets replaced with that of the main site. Ideally I would be able to customize the root URL for each survey. It would also be nice if user groups could be assigned a survey URL and they would appear to get their own limesurvey site under which the surveys they create will appear.

Right now you can style a survey by modifying its template. You can also put any .js file for a survey by modifying its template.

But there could be more than 1 survey that shares the same template but needs to differ slightly. For example each survey could have a different header image, background image,footer etc. So creating a separate template for each survey(that differs slightly) is cumbersome.

A new feature in the 1.91 release is the time statistics.

As the NUMBEROFQUESTIONS placeholder, the AVGINTERVIEWTIME would be useful in the welcome page template.

For example a welcome message would be:

There are NUMBEROFQUESTIONS questions in this survey and so far it took average AVGINTERVIEWTIME minutes to accomplish.
