Changing group title via javascript was created by jkautto
Hi

I want to add progress information into the group title, i.e., group title should say something like ''this is page 6 out of 24''. This should be simple, but I don't know the correct javascript commands to do it.
I have tried this code without luck (nothing happens):
Code:
<script type='text/javascript'>
   $(document).ready(function() {
       var N_total = {NUMBEROFGROUPS};
       var N_current = $("#thisstep").val();
       $(".grouptitle").text("this is page " + N_current + " out of " + N_total);
});
</script>

Code is in group description (same for each group). I have version 2.70. Can someone help?

Since your message seems to be fixed for each group, why not put it directly in the group title without using any script or variables?

Title should tell the current page with group randomization enabled, hence it cannot be fixed. Group title should work like the progress bar with page numbers instead of percentages. I already changed the progress bar to show step information (format "step 5 out of 57" etc.) via javascript, but I also want to include this information in titles.

PS. Without group randomization, I would not need scripting (I could fix titles when creating the survey). You are correct there.

What template are you using and where did you find the selector ".grouptitle"?

I find that this works with the default template:

Code:
<script type='text/javascript'>
  $(document).ready(function() {
    var N_total = {NUMBEROFGROUPS};
    var N_current = $("#thisstep").val();
    $(".group-name").text("This is page " + N_current + " out of " + N_total);
    $(".group-description-container").hide();
  });
</script>

Thanks, your code works perfectly! It also seem to work without the last command, i.e., "$(".group-description-container").hide();".

I found ".grouptitle" from this thread:

It seem this code no longer works with Limesurvey 3.0.1. In fact, I can't get any javascript to run with version 3, not even this example given in the official Manual:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
   $(document).on('ready pjax:complete',function() {
       alert("Test!");
   });
</script>


Can someone please tell me how to get javascript work and maybe convert my previous code suitable for version 3? Thanks.

You may have a JavaScript error. This works for me in the vanilla and the bootswatch themes of 3.0.1.

Code:
<script type='text/javascript'>
  $(document).ready(function() {
    var N_total = {NUMBEROFGROUPS};
    var N_current = $("#thisstep").val();
    $(".group-title").text("This is page " + N_current + " out of " + N_total);
    $(".group-description-container").hide();
  });
</script>

Ok, so basically javascript should work out-of-the-box same as before and my old imported 2.73 survey should also work?

I installed both XAMPP version 2.73 and 3.0.1 (no mods) but cannot get any javacripts to run with version 3. No errors show up, scripts simply have no any effect.

Is there live demo for version 3 where I could do some testing (demo.limesurvey.org is still 2.72)?

Yes.

...and my old imported 2.73 survey should also work?

No, notice that there is a slight difference in the jQuery selectors in the script that I provided for 3.0.1.

Now the scripts are working again (I disabled XSS from config), except for the line
Code:
var N_total = {NUMBEROFGROUPS};
which does nothing. Maybe there is still some option that I need to change.
