Help with survey with time limit. was created by thekidd
I’m trying to make a survey with time limit but I don’t get it to work.

I want to have a single page with five question and 10 minutes to complete them.

When I preview one question everything is working fine, and also when a preview a question group with one question.

But if I activate or preview the survey the timer is gone, even if I only have one question.
And if I preview with more than one question in a group the timer is gone as well.

I’m guessing that I just don’t use it in the correct way…

What I’m I doing wrong?

What LimeSurvey version are you using? Can you attach an export file (.lss) of a sample survey?

Cheers,

I'm using Version 2.50+ Build 160620 installed today so maybe I just missed something.

The .iss is/was for a single question with timer but no timer is showing.

The survey needs to be in "Question by question" or "Group by group" mode for the timer to work.

Hey everybody,

I have another problem concerning the time limit - I hope somebody here can give me the answer to that.
I want to have a time limit for the whole survey - in the relevant part of the survey I display group by group and every group has just one question. I have set a time limit for the first question of this part of the survey and I want the time left after this question to be entered in the time limit field of the second question. The expression manager works in the timer field, for example I tried to put in {A1} in the timer field and the timer is automatically set to the answer from Question A1. I would just need to find out the right code for the value of the time left in question 1.
I tried lots of code lines like {timer_question_QID} but nothings works.
Is this just not possible maybe?

Many thanks in advance for your help!!
