Display choices of ranking question in more than one column was created by mafo
Hello everybody,

in my survey I'd like the respondents to rank companys, e. g. according to their generosity. The respondent has to rank the top 5 out of 50 companys which are represented by their company logos. Thus, the respondent choses only 5 out of 50 company logos and ranks them. Unfortunately, a list of 50 logos is extremely long. That's why I'd like to distribute the logos to choose from on more than one column. But limesurvey does not seem to offer an option to do that. Is there another way to do it?

Another approach which I had in mind was to add a multiple choice question preceding the ranking question. In this multiple choice question (where the company logos can be arranged in multiple columns) the respondent would have to choose the five most generous companys. Afterwards the ranking question displays only those company logos as selection which have been chosen in the multiple choice question using the array filter. The disadvantage of this approach is that the ranking question looks ugly since there is still a list of 50 logos (5 are actually displayed but also 45 place holders are visible) to choose from. This means that I don't want the ranking question to show these confusing 45 place holders. The selection area should therefore be restricted to 5 logos. How can this be done?

Thanks for your help!

Hi mafo,

I don't see a chance of more than one column in the ranking question, too. So the approach with the multiple choice question as array filter works fine.
To avoid these ugly 45 blanks you can set the "Same height for lists" to "No". The selection area is then variable too.

cheers, steve

array_filter don't work in this condition ?

I think array filter is set on Ranking. WIth some bug (because we only control it in JS, not in PHP), but still exist.

You should be able to force them into columns with CSS. Something like this (for the default template):

Code:
.dragDropChoices li {
  display: block;
  float: left;
  width: 40%;
  clear: none !important;
}
Cheers,

Hi,

With array_filter :
demonstration.sondages.pro/826842

Seems really good.

ANd for css:
Code:
.dragDropTable ul.dragDropChoiceList li, .dragDropTable ol.dragDropRankList li {
    float: left;
clear:none;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0.8em 1em;
    width: 25%;
box-sizing: border-box;
}

Is there an update to this that will work with Version 3.17.7?

Using a web developer tool which is included in each modern browser you see that in LS 3.x the css class is
.list-group-item

So just change the class.
