Progress bar showing fractions :( was created by outofgamut
Hi,

I just set up a new instance of LimeSurvey (version 2.06+ Build 151215). No matter which template I choose for surveys now the progress bar is making fun of me:


How can I tell LimeSurvey I don't appreciate this kind of humor?

Hi,

No matter which template I choose...

Maybe there is a problem with a js file (missing o wrongly uploaded). You may try to upload again the application... Always prefer the last build ( 160129 ) ;)

That one works well. So much for trying every template :dry:


Thanks, Denis. However, I get the same scrambled result with your Skeleton template.

Why would that be?

Looks like you use out template: TFR Responsive. Did you try the most recent version (1.6)? You can see which version you use in the top lines of the style.css and the startpage.pstpl.

You can download the newest version here: www.toolsforresearch.com/limesurvey-responsive-template

You've got sharp eyes, Tammo.

Yes, it is TFR responsive, v1.6

Just to be on the safe side I deleted it completely, re-downloaded v1.6. Same result :(

We have received one earlier notification of this, but we have never been able to reproduce the problem.

Did you upload the theme via FTP?

Nope. Went through the official channels: template editor -> import theme.

For what it's worth: I installed this instance of LimeSurvey via the Installatron-app on my hosting-provider's CPanel (to make use of its backup facilities to Dropbox).

What browser do you use? If this is IE8, it will certainly not work.

It should work OK in the newest versions of Firefox, Chrome, IE and others, but not in IE8...

Good point, Tammo.

Not using IE8. I left Windows a long, long time ago for good. :laugh:

I use Chrome on Mac ( v47.0.2526.111) but fired up Safari just now and - lo and behold - none of that fraction issues going on there! I'll deactivate all my plugins and see what that does, will also update Chrome to the latest version and report back.

Thanks for the help!

That progress bar is strange altogether: when you have 5 pages, it shows 2, 22, 42, 62, 82% on the pages, while it should show 0, 20, 40, 60, 80%. But that is a core issue, not a template issue, as I have heard.

Ok:
Disabled all extensions: no difference.
Updated Chrome to latest version (48.0.2564.97): no difference.
Tested it on Chrome on another Mac of mine (also El Capitan): no difference.

I agree with you that the progress bar algorithm is somewhat off. No one needs "true" percentages anyway. 5% increments would do the trick just fine (I know this all falls apart once conditional questions come into play).

But I can't use it the way it is (displaying fractions) - it looks off-putting to the unsuspecting user. :sick:
