survey read-only view? was created by mawa85
Hello,

is there a way to open a token-based survey with several pages in "view-only" mode?

My current approach is to replace all input elements and remove the submit button.

This works as long as there is only the editor or the viewer browsing in the survey.
For parallel usage there is the issue of data loss, as every next or back button of the viewer triggers a submit.

Is there a way to navigate trough the survey without submitting the result ?
Or as an alternative: to view the complete survey on one page in my "read-only mode" while showing page mode for the editor?

Thanks.

As far as I know, there is no way to do that with an activated survey.

With deactivated surveys, you can allow non-administrators to preview the survey.

Thanks.

I ended up with the following solution for viewing survey results:

Before I open Limesurvey in an Iframe, I use PHP to select the current row in the survey table, modify the token, increase the id and insert the row again, then pointing the viewer to the modified token. Additionaly, I delete previous created "view-only" token rows and also insert the modified token in the token table.

With JQuery I disable all input elements or replace them with their values.
Code:
        $('#ls_frame').contents().find("*:not(.submit)").attr("onclick",'');
  $('#ls_frame').contents().find(".submit[value='Speichern'],.saveall").hide();
  $('#ls_frame').contents().find("#movesubmitbtn").hide();
  $('#ls_frame').contents().find("input[type='text']").attr("readonly",true);
  $('#ls_frame').contents().find("input[type='radio']:not(:checked)").hide().after('O');
  $('#ls_frame').contents().find("input[type='checkbox']:not(:checked)").hide().after('O');
  $('#ls_frame').contents().find("input[type='checkbox']:checked").hide().after('X');
  $('#ls_frame').contents().find("input[type='radio']:checked").hide().after('X');

Not fully parallel, but it works.

You could maybe just copy your active survey and make this your public demo. Just discard the answers people leave when using it or, as tpartner suggested, leave it deactivated and set it to "preview for anyone" and share the link.
