Basic Cross Tabs and Charting from Limesurvey

Hi All

Long time reader, first time poster so please feel free to move this if this is not in the right place.

I have used Limesurvey for a few years now and found this forum to be of great help when faced with a tricky challenge so I thought it was time to share back with everyone. One of the things that I have found to be missing was a way to quickly interrogate the data in a real time way that allows for the data to be viewed in a traditional cross tab. I am not a developer / programmer but I know enough to google and cannibalize code to get to roughly where I need to be.

I came across an interesting jquery script called pivottable.js that allows for data to be loaded and then analysed in a visual way (includes basic charting as well) so I thought I would use this to display results from my survey.

As stated, I am not a programmer, so I did my best at using the API and a little php to generate a tool that works for this purpose... I am sure that there are many people who can take this and create something amazing ... more than the basic functionality I have got to.

So as a thank you for all the help others have given to me I am happy to share the work I have done so far .. it is in the attached Zip file.

Aside from the libraries there are 2 files.

1) Index.php - This is the page that calls the API to get the latest data, this needs you to go in and edit with your information
2) surveydash,php - This is page that uses the data (in CSV format) and then generates the dashboard. There is a place holder at the top to add a logo.

I hope at least one of you guys finds this useful.

Thanks
Dave
