Have the hyperlink removed from common.php and have it replace by a button.

You can accomplish it now by doing it manually, but IS NOT RECOMMENDED as you have to make changes to the core of limesurvey which will be replaced by your next update / upgrade, but it can be done.

SOLUTION FOR NOW UNTIL APPROVED
=================================
open common.php
goto line number 2990
replace with $savereturn = "$relativeurl/index.php?sid=$surveyid";
goto line number 2995
replace with $savereturn .= ";";
Now use the following code in your template layouts

Refresh your template and the hyperlink has been replaced with an button.

Have the template check if a .css exists and include it when it does. (could be generated for a new survey but left blank initially)

Add an edit survey css button to the survey toolbar where one can jump to a special template editor screen where you can edit this sid.css
Would be nice if there were links in the screen to point people to the appropriate item in the wiki for help.

One solution is to use a light window type interface. Whenever user submits (clicks next button) the page, all unanswered questions will be popped out in a light window notifying the user that they are mandatory. This provides a easy UI and a good surveying experience. After filling these missed mandatory questions he'll be taken forward as usual.

When a page is submitted, if an error occur (mandatory or bad response) put a body class="error" and div class question error mandatory

And then with css, template can choose to show or not the good question. It's presentation, ls code don't have to make presntation choice, only tempate have to make presentation choice. (for example with jquery : put a animated hiding on good question)

And please, don't use light window ...

I use the group-by-group mode.

====== Suggestion 1 =====
[Exit and clear survey] ==> [Logout]

The survey isn't actually cleared, because when I come back later (e.g. using the link in the invitation mail), I see what I entered earlier. The only data that I may loose is the data from the last page (= group).

======= Suggestion 2 ========
"Are you sure you want to clear all your responses?"
==>
"You will be logged out. Have you saved your results?"

The original message may frighten the user, while a [Next] or [Previous] button may have saved the data anyway.

======= Suggestion 3 ========
[Next] ==> [Next (and saved)]
[Previous] ==> [Previous (and saved)]

You cannot proceed until these have been completed" ==> "One or more mandatory questions have not been answered. You cannot proceed until these have been completed. (Your intermediate results are saved.)" This explains to the user that he/she cannot go to the next group, but the data has been saved anyway.

The template could be the same like register.psptl or even could be a modification of register.pstpl, adding the functionality described above in situation, when when "Allow public registration" is set on "No" and there are tokens generated.

I want to have a place where I can set presets for new surveys.

A place where I can set for example the parameter "list survey" to default value "no"
"public statistics" "no"

Mabe a new tab in the global settings would be a good place for those presets.

less (http://lesscss.org/) allows for css variables.

Maybe this could be used to carry over the custom properties when copying a survey?

I don't know exactly how to do it though. Maybe the styling should be done under advanced question attributes, instead of manually in the style sheet?

I don't know the solution, but the problem is real :-)

We can use some value of semantic, for example : span , div , p , strong , em in code with some class.

For errormandatory, just a <strong class="errormandatory"> and just one thing for all.

Problem : template had to be modified : if the semantic way is good enough, we can just look at default and limespired template.

Some of template sytem had the ability to make conditionnal branch.

For example smarty :
if $logged_in
Welcome, $name!
else
hi, $name
/if


We can use something lime that :
{if QUESTION_MAN_MESSAGE}{QUESTION_MAN_MESSAGE}{/if}

Or more easy for template maker :
{optionnal_code QUESTION_MAN_MESSAGE optionnal_code}

and QUESTION_MAN_MESSAGE are only text from langage.

This is more difficult to do i think. (i can't help, but i can help to the first solution)

I did a lot of work putting in the classes to make it easier for designers to style LimeSurvey by moving styling out of hard coded (and invalid) HTML styling into easily (with the right knowledge) customisable CSS. Most of these classes names use meaningful if your survey is in English. If your survey is not in English then the classes are not meaning full so do not contribute to the semantic quality of the survey.

The following might be a slightly weird solution but...

One possible solution is to parse both the template files and CSS files when the survey is activated, dumping the cached versions of these files into a locale based templates directory.

Also on the same idea. Have a parser to translate class and ID names in template.css files into other languages to make it easier for non-english speakers to style templates.

Another solution would be to make a css template where array headings are fixed and answers are put in a div with overflow. A bit like this table

Think of this idea: http://ideas.limesurvey.org/ideatorrent/idea/343/

Can combine the 2 idea:
- extra input for survey : put in body (startpage.pstl and other)
- extra inout for group : add GROUP_ID and GROUP_CLASS in startgroup.pstpl, groupdescription, question.pstpl
- extra input for each question : included in QUESTION_CLASS (question.pstpl)

simply i think it is easily to be added. to have the same number of questions going sequensly when progressing the survey. Questionnumber can be viewed but not in all templetes, total# of questions can be viewed as well but no at all templates, thats why, just try to add this feature to have for example

q 1 of 20 - q 2 of 20 - q 3 of 20 while making the survey by end-users...

also if possible, it is a greate help if you could place exact progress number percentage. such as 23% 58% 90% somewhere under the progress graph bar or inside it, as this will give stronger impression to the end-users and let him/her feel they are really progressing...

appreciating your great work and support.
