Hello to all my Open Source friends

My name is Julien. As a strongly motivated changemaker, I'm nowadays creating a new start-up in the collaborative economy. Today, I would need to make a survey so I could ask few important questions to the future users of this new service.

I'm looking to make things easier and allow respondents to experience a fast survey process.
To do this, I would need to use an Array Scale Question (with dropdown lists) with FOUR scales!!! :ohmy:

Guys, Do you think I have even a small chance to make this happen? If yes, HOW ?

Thank you very much for your time and your collaboration

Julien

Please post a sketch of how your question would look when on the screen... From what you describe it is a four-dimensional thing on a two-dimensional screen....

Hello Tammo,

Here are some pictorial examples of what I'm looking to do !

If I could succeed to make something like the example 1 (a four scale array question), it would be wonderful!
Even greater if I could transform the fourth scale into a "text form scale" (example 2).

What do you think ?

Julien

You can use JavaScript to insert drop-downs into an array-texts question.

A couple of related threads:

- www.limesurvey.org/en/forum/can-i-do-thi...oxes?start=20#113827

Thank you very much Tpartner

That's great !!!

Only I don't have the skills to make it myself. Where is the tool to code it, and then to "plug it in" ?
I might have to find someone to help me at doing it ...

Thanks again

Julien

Hi all,

That's done

So if someone is looking at creating the same array (array with multiple scale, using drop downs), here are the steps to follow :

1) Create a Text Array with multiple columns.

2) Edite the question. Go in the question frame (under the question code), then click on "SOURCE"

3) Add this code :

<script> $(function(){
/** ID du questionnaire **/
var questionIdentifier = '#question17';
/** Options **/
var selectOptions = {
'SQ001': ["---", "OUI", "NON"],
'SQ002': ["---", "min. 1 fois par semaine", "min. 1 fois par mois", "min. 1 par an", "Jamais"],
'SQ003': ["---", "OUI", "NON", "Je ne sais pas"],
'SQ004': ["---", "0,25€", "0,50€", "0,75€", "1,00€", "1,25€", "1,50€", "1,75€", "2,0€", "2,5€", "3,0€", "3,5€", "4,0€", "4,5€", "5,0€", "5,5€", "6,0€", "6,5€", "7,0€", "7,5€", "8,0€", "8,5€", "9,0€", "9,5€", "10€" ]
};

var createSelect = function(key) {

var select = $('<select>');
$.each(selectOptions[key], function (id, value) {
var option = $('<option value="' + value + '">' + value + '</option>');
select.append(option);
});
return select;
};

var getKey = function(name) {

for (var testKey in selectOptions) {
if (name.indexOf('_' + testKey) > -1) {
return testKey;
}
}
return null;
};

$.each($(questionIdentifier).find('.subquestion-list input'), function(index, element){
var input = $(element);
var name = input.attr('name');
if ('text' == input.attr('type')) {
var key = getKey(name);
if (null != key) {
var select = createSelect(key);
input.parent().append(select);
select.val(input.val());
select.change(function(){
input.val(select.val());
});
input.css('display', 'none');
}
}
});
}); </script>

5) Change the red text with
- Right number of the question
- SQ00X ["Dropdown answer proposition1", Dropdown answer proposition2", Dropdown answer proposition3" ...and so on]

6) Then save the question and do a little victory dance :laugh:


Thanks to everyone helping

Cheers and have a good day

Julien
