How to place a certain option at the end of a list with randomized answers was created by vzyldd

Question type: Array
Limesurvey version: Version 3.5.1+180312

I need to keep the last option in the subquestion list (total of 6 subquestions) last when I randomize option 1 to 5. I found the following script and used it in the question but not working in this version. Any suggestions?

<script type='text/javascript'>
/* Place option 6 at the end of the randomized list */
$(document).ready(function() {
var move_element="6";
/* Please do NOT change the lines below */
var move_element="javatbd{SGQ}"+move_element;
$("#"+move_element).insertAfter("#question{QID} .answers-list .answer-item:last-child");
});
</script>

Add something like this to the question source:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
	$(document).on('ready pjax:complete',function() {
 
		// Define the subquestion code to be fixed at the bottom of the array
		var fixedCode = 'SQ004';
 
		// Move that row to the bottom
		$('#question{QID} table.subquestion-list tbody:eq(0)').append($('tr[id$="X{QID}'+fixedCode+'"]'));
 
		// Fix up the row background colours
		$('#question{QID} tr.answers-list').each(function(i){
			$(this).removeClass('ls-even, ls-odd');
			if(i % 2 == 0) {
				$(this).addClass('ls-even');
			}
			else {
				$(this).addClass('ls-odd');
			}
		});
	});
</script>

Hi,

I tried this script on radio list question but not working in limesurvey 2.57. Please advise.
I want the two option with code 98 and 99 at the end and after the "other" option.
In attachment the survey.

below the script :

<script type='text/javascript'>
/* Place option 98 at the end of the randomized list */
$(document).ready(function() {
var move_element="98";
/* Please do NOT change the lines below */
var move_element="javatbd{SGQ}"+move_element;
$("#"+move_element).insertAfter("#question{QID} .answers-list .answer-item:last-child");
});
</script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
/* Place option 99 at the end of the randomized list */
$(document).ready(function() {
var move_element="99";
/* Please do NOT change the lines below */
var move_element="javatbd{SGQ}"+move_element;
$("#"+move_element).insertAfter("#question{QID} .answers-list .answer-item:last-child");
});
</script>

Thanks

Hi, Sabrina

Here you find the scripts for all version (2.06, 2.50-2.73, 3.x)
www.limesurvey.org/manual/Workarounds:_M...tions_.28Enhanced.29

Use this one for LS version 2.50-2.73

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">	
	
	$(document).ready(function() {
	
		// The number of answers to be fixed at the end of the list
		var fixedAnswers = 2;

		// Set this to "true" if you want "Other" to be fixed in the last position
		var otherFixed = false;
		
		// Identify this question
		var qID = {QID}; 
		
		// Find the number of answers
		var ansCount = $('#question'+qID+' .answer-item').length;
		if($('#question'+qID+' input[type="text"]').length > 0) {
			ansCount = ansCount -1
		}
		
		// Place the last n answers created at the end of the list
		var fixedIndex = fixedAnswers - 1;
		for (var i=0; i<fixedAnswers; i++) {
			var answer = $('input[id^="answer"][id$="X'+qID+'s'+(ansCount-fixedIndex)+'"]');
			var answerItem = $(answer).closest('.answer-item');
			var answersList = $(answer).closest('.answers-list');
			if($('#question'+qID).hasClass('multiple-opt')) {
				answer = $('input[id^="answer"][id$="X'+qID+(ansCount-fixedIndex)+'"]');
				answerItem = $(answer).closest('.answer-item').parent();
				answersList = $(answer).closest('.subquestion-list');
			}
			$(answersList).append(answerItem);
			fixedIndex--;
		}		
		
		// Handle "Other"
		if(otherFixed == true && $('#question'+qID+' input[type="text"]').length > 0) {
			var otherAnswer = $('#question'+qID+' input[type="text"]');
			var otherAnswerItem = $(otherAnswer ).closest('.answer-item');
			var otherAnswersList = $(otherAnswer ).closest('.answers-list');
			if($('#question'+qID).hasClass('multiple-opt')) {
				otherAnswerItem = $(otherAnswer ).closest('.answer-item').parent();
				otherAnswersList = $(otherAnswer ).closest('.subquestion-list');
			}
			$(otherAnswersList).append(otherAnswerItem);
		}
	});
</script>

Hi, Sabrina,
I do not see any issue.
I only can test in Version 2.73.1+171220

As you might have seem in the manual
www.limesurvey.org/manual/Workarounds:_M...tions_.28Enhanced.29
and what I did not:
It is only tested in 2.70, not in earlier versions of this branch.

To check this, please send your survey (only the respective questions) as *.lss
So, we'll see if it's a version problem (meaning you have to update) or something else.
As your version was released in december 2016 you really should consider this.
And if you would like to stay to your used branch (2.50-2.73) you find the latest version here.

Best regards
Joffm

@Joffm, actually that may be broken. If otherFixed = true, then that option should appear at the very end of the list, not second last as in your screenshot.

I'm not in s position to test in the next couple of days but will look into it as soon as possible.

What is not working???
I showed that it worked in 2.60/2.73 (except of Tony's remark)
And here I show it in 3.X
1. "Option 4", "Option 5" and "Other" fixed
2. "Option 4", "Option 5" fixed, but "Other" not fixed

So I advice to
send the respective question(s) as *.lss.

How can we try to help without knowing what you are doing?

Nice to see,
but where is your survey (*.lss)?

And: Are you allowed to run JavaScript?

The file lss is already in attachment, here is again. Is there an action to do to activate javascript? I already used javascript code like hide and display elements and it would work well.

Thanks
