Sorry, but I cannot agree. I think this, and most alternate question views, should be custom question types, not plugins. They are, after all, questions.

More info for those unaware of this new capability coming in 3.x - github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/tree/de...p/question_templates

But here : visually (views) it's a slider ? With extra functionnality. No ?
Then :
1. Move slider to own question type (or template, but i like if Survey Admin can choose slider as Question Type)
2. Add settings for the slider

Maybe i didn't look at code clearly, but visually this screenshot seems clearly like a slider.

Yes, it is sliders. Perhaps I should have said "I think this, and most alternate question views/behaviours, should be custom question types, not plugins.".


...just my point of view...

Explanation about plugins : currently i write plugin for "Any way to extend LimeSurvey with PHP", it can be extensions, modules or anything else. Then let's speak for "Question type" and "Question settings"

Current situation : plugin are easy to add new attribute (Question advanced settings), and add javascript for a specific question .

I think you're totally right : slider must be a question types and not a settings in multiple numeric .

Unsure for the 2 way of showing Yes/No or Gender ?
Or for the slider_rating for 5 point radio list : New question in the dropdown or settings for 5 point choice.

The good things about settings : same setting (and some code) can be used for different question type …

I have created a custom question theme for Van Westendorp Pricing in LS 3.x - github.com/tpartner/LimeSurvey-Pricing-Sliders-3.x

@tparner : we spoke quickly with Louis about "question template", and I think question template need a way to add "Expression Manager validation".

Somethink like "add automatically" a new Sub-question validation equation
I put a feature request : bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?id=13727 :)

Yeah, EM validation would be cool.
