Dear very helpful forum users,

I am using an edited version of limespired for my survey, and this is definitely the template that I want to use.

The only problem with it is an indent on the first line of each question. I've attached a screenshot to show exactly what I mean.

Is there any way to get rid of this indent? I've looked through the html in the template editor but can't find the right code (I'm very html illiterate).

I'd be really grateful for your help.

Best wishes,

Michał

The indent before the question text is caused by the asterisk element that is shown when a question is mandatory.

You can move it to after the question text by modifying question.pstpl and template.css.

In question.pstpl, replace the following:

<span class="asterisk">{QUESTION_MANDATORY}</span>{QUESTION_TEXT}<br />

With:

{QUESTION_TEXT}<span class="asterisk">{QUESTION_MANDATORY}</span><br />

And in template.css, replace:

.asterisk {
  color: #FF0000;
  padding: 0 5px 0 10px;
}

With:

.asterisk {
  color: #FF0000;
  padding: 0 0 0 5px;
}

Cheers,
Tony

So, as in this case, if the span has some padding it will still take up space even though it's empty.

Those damn hard coded elements... Don't you think we should change this? Will a change affect customized templates or can it be done in a way so that there are no side effects at customized templates?

I think the best solution is to use another system of replacment:

Actually: mandatory/non-mandatory

<span class="asterisk">{QUESTION_MANDATORY}</span> => <span class="asterisk">*</span>
<span class="asterisk">{QUESTION_MANDATORY}</span> => <span class="asterisk"></span>

I think it's best to have some optionnal extra option:

{<span class="asterisk">QUESTION_MANDATORY</span>} => <span class="asterisk">*</span>
{<span class="asterisk">QUESTION_MANDATORY</span>} =>

In a specific template for question-help, i use some jquery to remove this div if emty ($('.question-help:empty') selector. But the best is to do in php,

I search for some regexp to do that and put in ls-dev if i found something. (when i have some time)

Another idea ?
