Hello,

On the template editor, I am trying to insert some html code based on certain survey question # using JavaScript. I tried few things based on few of the forum posts, but nothing is working for me. Can someone help me out with a code snippet? Thanks a lot!!

I am using: LimeSurvey Version 2.50+ Build 160620
PHP 5.3.3

Have a look at this in the manual - www.limesurvey.org/manual/Workarounds:_M...tc..29_in_LimeSurvey

Here's the code that I tried on the question.pstpl template:

My goal is to display an image based on the survey question # or question code, but the above code is not working. Any idea why?
Thanks

Hi, lintu,

well, in the question.pstpl you have the "look and feel" of the question container.
Do you want to display a background image of the question container depending on the question code?
Or just an image in the question?
Or where?

I'm not sure why you wouldn't simply insert the image in the question source.

Having said that, there are a couple of errors in your JavaScript:
1) You need to ensure the document is fully loaded before detecting the question code
2) {QUESTION_CODE} needs to be enclosed in quotes (it's a string, not a var)

And document.write("blah blah"); must be used in HTML source only. Not in external js .

Then use jquery : $('body .content').append("'This is '+q+'!'); for exemple

Joffm, DenisChenu & tpartner,

Really appreciated that you took the time to respond and help. I am displaying an image on top of the answer selections (see screenshot below) for every question. Since I have over 100+ questions, instead of adding this to each answer, I inserted my code in the question.pstpl template. Now, for select questions, I want to hide this based on the question # or question code. I have turned on the option to show the question code and tried the code example that tpartner provided, but that did not work. Will try what DenisChenu suggested next.



Thanks

Hi, lintu,
here a different approach to remove the picture in certain questions.

What about the way to do it in EXCEL.
www.limesurvey.org/de/foren/future-featu...ate-survey-in-script
and
www.limesurvey.org/manual/Excel_Survey_Structure

Export your survey to a TAB-separated text file, open it in EXCEL (utf- and remove the values in columns 37 (dualscale_headerA) and 38 (dualscale_headerB).
Then import it again.

If you are not successful with the JavaScript, this could help you. And it is done rather quickly.

Best regards
Joffm

Joffm,

Wow, I wasn't aware of this cool feature, will definitely try it out and report back. Thanks a lot!!

I have turned on the option to show the question code and tried the code example that tpartner provided, but that did not work.

Try setting display question number and code to "Both". (displaying just the code didn't work for me either - maybe a bug)

And, yes, insert Denis' snippet instead of document.write. (I was just using that to demonstrate that the code works)

Here is where I am stuck - I am now getting the value of {QUESTION_CODE}' and the JavaScript if/else statement works. But having an issue with displaying the image at the right spot. I tried using the code suggested by DenisChenu - $('body .content').append("'This is '+q+'!'); but the image is not displaying. Is the syntax correct? If I change the syntax to document.body.appendChild(img); then the image displays, but at the bottom of the page.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

P.S. Joffm - I exported the survey excel file as you suggested, but my custom code is not in there for me to remove as I inserted it in the template.
