Hello,

I would like to include a small IQ-Test in one of my surveys.
That for, I would like to integrate a timer on question groups or questions. Until now I didn't find a way to do this...
Has someone some experience with this?

Thanks!

Have you already checked the manual and the forum search?
This staff is already discussed and documented a lot:
www.google.at/search?q=limesruvey+timer&...8#q=limesurvey+timer

www.limesurvey.org/manual/QS:Time_limit/en
www.limesurvey.org/manual/QS:Time_limit_action

Or do you have already a concrete question?

Thank you!
I am new and can't code.
Since it is an iq test, I would have to set a timer for a whole question group...
Apparently this is only doable with coding, is it?

Is this doable for someone who doesn't even know how to get access to the "rawcode"?

You should be able to place a short-text question with a timer in each group and hide them with CSS or JavaScript.

To hide a question with CSS, add something like this too the end of template.css, where 1234 is the question ID :
Code:
#question1234 {
  display: none;
}

To hide a question with JavaScript, set up your survey to use JavaScript and add this to the question source:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">  
  $(document).ready(function() {    
    $('#question{QID}').hide();
    });
</script>

This seems very helpful!!!

So I understand that I have to hide the question in Order. But if I would like to show the participant the remaining time for the question group, is there a way to display it, eventhough that I hide the question containing the timelimit?

Leave the question visible and hide everything except the timer element. What LimeSurvey version and template are you using?

Furthermore,
how do I proceed to the next page if the timer expires. Since for question groups the timer triggers "warning and disable" and not "warning and continue"?

I don't understand the question, in groups you have an option to warn and move on.

LimeSurvey
Version 2.51.4+160908

In the manual I found the information, that if i set "warning and continue" for the time limit, this will not be the case for question groups.

That's an error. Did you try it?

Well I just ran a group-preview. If I set a time limit on a first question, I can still change my answer to the second after the timeout...
