Hi there,

I was wondering if it is possible at all to display the answer options of a matrix question only at a slightly later point?

Here is an outline of our prompts, including (3) which we can't get to work.

(1) We need participants to listen to a short audio file (we've managed to embed it by fiddling with the source code/Javascript). Once the recording has played through, we want the audio element to disappear.
(2) A short question is supposed to appear where the audio player was so that participants only read the question after they have listened to the full audio (Again, using javascript, we've managed to make LimeSurvey display the question only after the audio file has ended).

(3) Finally, participants are supposed to answer the question by choosing one out of three options (Matrix question). Per default, LimeSurvey displays the answer options from the start. For our experiment, however, the answer options shouldn't be visible to not bias participants when listening to the audio file.

We can't really think of a solution here, but perhaps someone else has a suggestion.

Thanks ever so much.

Jana

Hi there! I hope you're doing well. I'm currently wondering a few things about configuring LimeSurvey behind Caddy. Here are the details of my hosting setup:

- Caddy (docker.io/caddy:2.6.3) is a web proxy and handles SSL/TLS certificate generation at runtime
- We have the usual setup for kubernetes: services, deployments, and volumes for LimeSurvey
- Here's the Caddyfile we're currently using:
With this configuration, I can access LimeSurvey through the browser without issues. But then I found that LimeSurvey has some specific settings to be configured when working behind a proxy. I referred to the LimeSurvey configuration file config-defaults.php and added the following lines to my file:
My question is: when is this configuration needed?

I would greatly appreciate any guidance or suggestions on properly configuring LimeSurvey behind Caddy as a reverse proxy. Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Hi,
I have noticed that in my last survey the participants always receive session timeout errors if more than 20-30 people are trying to fill out the survey. I have tried to update my limesurvey instance to the newest version and I also tried creating a new one under a slightly different subdomain. Unfortunately, neither way has worked. Is there anything else I could try?

Hello all, 

Now I'm trying to use answers from the previous multi-checkbox question (irrelevant in the survey) to filter the options displayed in the ranking question (preference). I want to use an in-between question (irrelevantHidden) to conduct some assignments.  It works well when the in-between question is displayed but doesn't work when it's hidden. I'm wondering if it's possible to achieve what I want and hide the in-between question at the same time. Or do you have other suggestions? You can check the survey file in the attached document.

Best,

(Write here your question/remark)Hello to all dear members of the forum.

I want to ask you if anyone knows if we can use a script so that the questions advance automatically in a certain time, that is, I want you to only see information in a certain time and then ask you questions about it, but I only want to show you that information for about 10 seconds.

I have this information in a multiple question of short texts but also some of "show text"

My version: 3.25.10+210128

I remember that there were questions with this option but I couldn't find them, I even looked for them in Version 2.50+ Build 16041

But I was unlucky.

I hope someone has an idea.

Greetings,

Hi,

yesterday I bought a new comfortupdate license and upgraded to 3.28.63+230628. Today, I tried to upgrade to 5.6.28 but unfortunately everytime I initiate the upgrade process, I am signed out of limesurvey as soon as I try to reach the file system step. I know that I am being singed out because when it tries to load the file system step, it's starting to show an empty screen but when I hover over that space, I can click on it and input my credentials. If I sign in through the blank space, I get an error stating that Limesurvey could not determine the version number.

Is there a way to solve this?
Thanks!

Hello,

I'm using the helm package to deploy Limesurvey on Kubernetes ( artifacthub.io/packages/helm/martialblog/limesurvey ).

I have a problem when I use "limesurvey.encrypt.nonce" and "limesurvey.encrypt.secretBoxKey" values.

This correctly creates the keys "limesurvey-encrypt-nonce" and "limesurvey-encrypt-secretboxkey" in the secret "limesurvey-app-secrets"
This also allows the "ENCRYPT_NONCE" and "ENCRYPT_SECRET_BOX_KEY" variables to be correctly created in the pod.

However, in the pod's "application/config/security.php" file, there are other generated values (in "$config" and ""). This is also the case after each recreation of the pod

Did I misuse the helm values or is this a bug?

Thanks a lot for your answers.

Hallo zusammen,

ich nutze das bootswach Template für meine Umfrage und habe dort ein Problem mit dem Button für das Dropdown-Menü. 
Der Button ist grau, anstatt den default text "Please choose..." innerhalb des Buttons in weiß zu schreiben, ist er ebenfalls in grau geschrieben, so dass man ihn nicht lesen kann. Gleiches gilt für das "kleine Dreieck" um das Dropdown-Menü zu öffnen. Erst wenn man auf den Button klickt, wird die Schrift weiß. 

Hat(te) jemand das gleiche Problem und weiß Rat, wie sich das ändern lässt? Muss ich hier in der CSS etwas ändern?

Vielen Dank vorab!

Liebes Forum, 

ich habe eine Frage bezüglich des Aufbaus einer Umfrage, die vor Lime Survey mit UniPark durchgeführt wurde.Es geht um die Frage, inwieweit es sich in LimeSurvey umsetzen lässt, dass Wörter (z.B. vier unterschiedliche Namen) randomisiert und ohne Zurücklegen aus einer Liste gezogen und zusammen mit vier verschiedenen Texten gezeigt werden, die ebenfalls in randomisierter Reihenfolge dargeboten werden (siehe Beispiel unten). 

Ich wollte nun sogenannte Platzhalter erstellen, damit man nicht X Mal eine Unterschiedliche Version eines Textes (mit unterschiedlichem Namen, Herkunft, Textinhalt) in die Umfrage einbauen muss, da dies die Umfrage doch sehr unübersichtlich gestalten würde. 

Gibt es die Option bei Lime Survey hierfür Platzhalter zu erstellen, die anschließend randomisiert eingesetzt/ angezeigt werden?

I want to use the [queXML PDF] function to add a PDF download function for respondents' answers.

Specifically, I would like to prepare a screen that displays the following button, and add a function that allows you to download the response content in [queXML PDF] when the button is pressed.
　<a href="{queXML PDF download URL}" target="_blank">Download</a>

When I actually tried it, the Limesurvey login screen was displayed and I could not download it.
Is there a way to use the [queXML PDF] function without going through the Limesurvey login screen?
（APIs such as [rest] and [remotecontrol] cannot be used due to the server...）
