All validation error in pop up message was created by mellorine
Hi, I have two questions:

1. I want to ask if there's a way to add all validation and mandatory errors in the pop up message that comes up when you click the Next button?
2. I know this might be impossible but I want to ask anyway. Is it possible that, instead of a pop up message that includes all validation errors, the user is redirected to a page that mentions all these errors and then have a "go back" page to the question?

In the config file, you can switch off the javascript popup and the error messages will be shown directly on the page with the questions itself.

Hi holch, thanks for your reply although I'm trying to make the validation messages show up either in the pop up javascript window or a separate page. Definitely not within the question page. My client doesn't like inline messages :pinch:

Then I don't have any solution for you. I think there is nothing more annoying than the popup except for another page where you would have to go back to solve the problem. Respondents usually want the error directly in the question where the problem is.

I don't think the going to another page and coming back can be implemented, as Limesurvey already has trouble if you reload a page or go back with the back button.

I agree with you on it being annoying :(
I'm trying to make the pop up work. Can you let me know if I'm on the right track with this:

I'm thinking about turning $filterxsshtml off and just doing all the validation in javascript using the "source" mode of the question. I'm going to interrupt form submission and then add my own validation codes and do an alert. ??

It's at application/config if I'm not mistaken.

Mellorine is correct. It is in:
Code:
/application/config/config.php

You want to search for the following code:
Code:
$config['showpopups']         =   0;                // Show popup messages if mandatory or conditional questions have not been answered correctly.
// 1=Show popup message, 0=Show message on page instead.

I think you have a PHP error at all LS page.

You use the "old" 1.92 behaviour with your code.
