Currently in LimeSurvey the replacement field for RETURNTOSURVEY if used gets replaced with and hyperlink, which does not quite fit in with all the nice buttons you have on your template.

So to make it blend in with the rest of the buttons on your template you will have to make some adjustments to your template code.

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.

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.

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 .

With array-type questions with more then a few answers, there is a risk that the answers will 'overflow' the screen. That is: When the user scrolls down to see the answers, the array labels scrolls up - out of sight.

In config.php it is possbile to set global values for # $repeatheadings and
# $minrepeatheadings.

A global solution is not a very good idea with todays diverse screen resolutions. On a mininote, like asus eee og acer apire one, headings should repeat every 6 answers maybe.

On a 15.4 modern screen with hight resolution, headings should repeat every 30 answers maybe.

All depending on survey/group discription and template (e.g. limespired template uses a lot of space due to header image. Default template uses less space).

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

For an array question type. we often have simple answers like "Yes, No, Unsure" but the question is often quite long.

eg; Do you think that X should be used in place of Y?
ans: Yes, No, Unsure

At present each column seems to be identically sized is 25% width. However, Id like the question to be say 55% width and then each of the columns to be much narrower at say 15% each.

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.


Discussion on forum with Tony
http://www.limesurvey.org/forum/can-i-do-this-with-limesurvey/69758-conditions- on-subquestion?limit=10&start=10&lang=en#69854

The alt text is read aloud when someone fills in a survey using a screen-reader. It is standard "Help"; which is slightly irritating when it is repeated with lots of wuestions.
So I want to change it to: nothing (i.e. silence), or something like "Information about this question:".

I tried changing the text Help inside the translation file, but that does not change anything.
The alt-text can be changed inside common.php.
Search for:
$line=str_replace("QUESTIONHELP", "".$help, $line);

Change the text after alt=

Save the file and that is it.
You can find common.php in the root of your limesurvey install.

However: watch out when you update. This can cause your changes disappear.

Mazi thinks it would be useful to be able to also change these text by editing the translation, what do you think?!

hello, were were talking here
http://www.limesurvey.org/en/support/forums/5-can-i-do-this-with-limesurvey/512 82-masking-question-count-and-progression?limit=10&start=10#51608

adding question number for each question while making the survey... also having exact number of percentage while progressing WITH the graph progress bar.

It's very usual to find users submitting the form with mandatory questions unanswered. Then the page gets reloaded again with a change of css to point out the such questions. The problem is when a survey page is too long with more number of questions then the user needs to scroll all along to find out what he missed. This is fine but a better alternative can be thought of.

Hello,

Actually there are some hardcoded style.

For exemple for mandatory question we had in qanda.php :

<strong><br /><span class='errormandatory'>

And a lot of other font color='orange' .

This made non-semantic survey and more difficult to use CSS in a good way.

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.

The buttons are so small that sometimes it can lead to clicking on things that were not meant to be clicked on. Little buttons that I cannot read sometimes lead to me restarting the survey or the like.

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.

Why there are not a search filter in the answers like in tokens search?

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.

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

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.
