DPajak OFFLINE Fresh Lemon Posts: 15 Karma: 0	Is it possible to change the dropdown representation of the date question type to show only the month and the year dropdown boxes? I don't need a specific date, since I will be asking for an event back in the past. So the month and the year would be enough, to avoid missing values because of poor memory. Kind regards Danny

I found the code for the dropdown date menu in quanda.php. Can I simple hide the code for "Show day select box"?

if (trim($qidattributes['dropdown_dates'])!=0) {
        if (!empty($_SESSION[$ia[1]]))
        {
            list($currentyear, $currentmonth, $currentdate) = explode('-', $_SESSION[$ia[1]]);
        } else {
            $currentdate='';
            $currentmonth='';
            $currentyear='';
        }
 
        $dateorder = preg_split('/[-\.\/ ]/', $dateformatdetails['phpdate']);
        $answer='<p class="question">';
        foreach($dateorder as $datepart)
        {
            switch($datepart)
            {
                // Show day select box
                case 'j':
                case 'd':   $answer .= ' <select id="day'.$ia[1].'" class="day">
                                                <option value="">'.$clang->gT('Day')."</option>\n";
                for ($i=1; $i<=31; $i++) {
                    if ($i == $currentdate)
                    {
                        $i_date_selected = SELECTED;
                    }

Yes ,

You can modify the limesurvey code, but i think there is another solution in javascript.

Try something like that with QQQ your question number. ( in the question text).

$(document).ready(function(){
  $('#questionQQQ select.day option[value='1']').attr("selected", "selected");
  $('#questionQQQ select.day').hide();  
})

First try without the hide, to control day 1 are selected. (if not date cannot be integrated to database).

Ok, so I tried to add the following javascript code, in the question text field. My question id is 426. Unfortunately it didn't work, the day dropdown-box is still visible.

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
  $('#question426 select.day option[value='1']').attr("selected", "selected");
  $('#question426 select.day').hide();  
})
</script>

Any other suggestion, what I have done wrong?

If it is not working with javascript, would it be possible to change the code in quanda.php? I will have only one survey running, where I need the date question format. After the end of that survey I could change it back. But I am not sure what I have to change, so the date is saved correctly in the database. Any help is greatly appreciated.

tpartner NOW ONLINE LimeSurvey Team Posts: 2864 Thank you received: 425 Karma: 245	I think there's a couple of small typos. Try: <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> $(document).ready(function(){ $('#question426 select.day option[value="01"]').attr("selected", "selected"); $('#question426 select.day').hide(); }) </script>

When I run the preview of the single question, everything looks fine and the day filed is hided. When I run the group or survey preview, all three boxes are visible and also the first day of the month is not selected.

I the firefox error console I found a few warnings and the following error:

Fehler: autoArray.list is undefined
Quelldatei: ima-research.eu/survey/scripts/survey_runtime.js
Zeile: 68

Kind regards
Danny
