... I have edited the code snippet in that post accordingly and uploaded a new sample survey.

Thanks Tpartner, importing the new version works for me now. But based on your comment, so would a second import of the first version, because the problem would only appear if it was the first survey ever in a new installation, right? Chances that this happens are pretty low I guess, yet I managed to break it.

Tpartner mentioned group and question id. No survey id. I don't understand the releation to a new installation and the first survey on such a installtion?

My original code was trying to split the SGQA by the question ID to detect the sub-question ID. Since this is the first group and question in Holch's install, both the group and question IDs are "1", therefor the SGQA gets split at the group ID giving an incorrect result. The solution is to first split the SGQA by the second "X" and then split by the question ID.

I thought when creating a new survey gid starts for every survey with one. Which isn't the case as I learned today Created a new survey on demo.limesurvey.org and got GID 74 and QID 2222 on the first question. Thanks.

Thank you very much Toni for your suggestion and the JS code! Yes, that is reasonable to have it like this.

I wanted to try it but there is a weird system issue with LimeSurvey at the moment - I cannot change themes in the editor, as the save button isn't active (it's in my both personal and corporate accounts). So cannot add anything or remove from custom.css nor custom.js.
I've written to the support about this.
It might be related to their recent update to the buttons by adding an extend button next to each theme.

Tony, I also have similar questions but with an array (Numbers) with checkboxes.



Would it need "checkbox-item input" to be added to the JS code? Your help would be much appreciated.

For array-numbers-checkboxes...

Place a multiple-short-text question directly after the array. This question should have exactly the same sub-questions as the array y-scale.

Give the array question a CSS class "with-checkbox-array-comments".

Add this to custom.js:

This is amazing, Tony! Many thanks!!

Today, the guys at LimeSurvey have fixed the issue with the Template editor and I could finally test your JS codes by adding to custom.js. They both worked nicely!
I realized that I have to place a Multiple short text question after each Array question that I need to adjust (for example, I have two of this kind of questions in a section).

Hey Tony,

Can you please help with two other variations of such a question, but when the "Other" textboxes are located horizontally?

I have made sample questions to illustrate it. I have a bunch of questions like this in the survey...





The difference between the two is the number of columns, which I suppose would need different JS code, correct?

I would be happy if you could help out!

In that case, you should centralize the script with a jQuery plugin.

1) Assign a CSS class "with-array-comments" to all of the array questions where you want the text inputs inserted.

2) Add the following to the end of your theme custom.js file:

Code:

$(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){
  // Apply the plugin to specific arrays
  $('.array-flexible-row.with-array-comments').arrayComments();
});
 
// A jQuery plugin insert comments into radio arrays
(function( $ ){
 
  $.fn.arrayComments = function(options) {  
 
    var opts = $.extend( {
    }, options);
 
    return this.each(function() { 
 
      // Identify the questions
      var thisQuestion = $(this);
      var q1ID = $(thisQuestion).attr('id').replace(/question/, '');
      var thisQuestion = $('#question'+q1ID);
      var nextQuestion = thisQuestion.nextAll('.multiple-short-txt');
      var q2ID = $(nextQuestion).attr('id').replace(/question/, '');
 
      //Hide the multiple-short-text
      nextQuestion.hide();
 
      // Move the text inputs
      $('tr.answers-list', thisQuestion).each(function(i) {
        var thisCode = $(this).attr('id').split('X')[2].split(q1ID)[1];
        $('td.answer-item:last input[type="radio"]', this).css({
          'position': 'absolute',
          'left': '-9999em'
        });
        $('td.answer-item:last', this).removeClass('radio-item').addClass('inserted-text-item').append($('input[type="text"][id$="X'+q2ID+thisCode+'"]', nextQuestion));
      });
 
      // Listeners on the text inputs
      $('input[type="text"]', thisQuestion).on('keyup change', function(e) {
        var thisRadio = $(this).closest('td').find('input[type="radio"]');
        var thisRadioVal = thisRadio.val();
        if($.trim($(this).val()) != '') {
          $(thisRadio).trigger('click');
        }
        else {
          $(thisRadio).prop('checked', false);
          thisRadioVal = '';
        }
        // Reset Expression manager
        checkconditions(thisRadioVal, $(thisRadio).attr('name'), 'radio', 'click');
      });
 
      // Listeners on the radios
      $('input[type="radio"]', thisQuestion).on('click', function(e) {
        if(!$(this).closest('td').hasClass('inserted-text-item')) {
          $(this).closest('tr').find('input[type="text"]').val('');
        }
      });
    });
 
  };
})( jQuery );

Hi Tony,
When I use this workaround, then other questions with multiple short text are hidden in the same question group and I can't make them visible.
It happens in both cases - when I add a JS code to a single array question and when I use a jQuery plugin css.
Is it possible to avoid this in the code somehow?

Sorry, typo.
