Array with large text fields

Array with large text fields was created by nique
I found this great thread with super helpful script by tpartner!



www.limesurvey.org/forum/can-i-do-this-w...-text-comment-fields

I am trying to edit the script slightly but am struggling.

On one page, I am presenting single arrays per question. This is just due to the nature of the question and how the researcher wants to present it.

I want to have each question/array have its own comment box - which includes some text specific to the question.

Unfortunately, this script picks up on all the comment boxes on the page and presents all 3, rather than just the one I want.

I am attaching my question group as an example of my survey -

There will be more questions per page as well. Hope this makes sense and I can get some help.

Thanks in advance.

Ideally you always provide a .lss file that the forum helpers can just import and play with (of course stripped of everything unnecessary and focused on the problems in question). Otherwise the forum helpers have to create a survey and then import your question group, which also will only work, if the base language is right, etc.
Help us to help you!
  • Provide your LS version and where it is installed (own server, uni/employer, SaaS hosting, etc.).
  • Always provide a LSS file (not LSQ or LSG).
Note: I answer at this forum in my spare time, I'm not a LimeSurvey GmbH employee.

When providing examples, please give them in .lss (survey export) format so we don't have to spend time creating surveys.
Cheers,

Yep. Holch pointed this out and the reply there has the lss file.

In that case, this should work:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> $(document).ready(function() { // Identify the questions var qArray = $('#question{QID}'); var arrayLength = $('tr.answers-list', qArray).length; var qComments = qArray.nextAll('.text-long:lt('+arrayLength+')'); // Add some classes qArray.addClass('array-with-comments-question'); $(qComments).each(function(i) { $(this).addClass('comments-question index-{SGQ}-'+i); }); // Insert the comments buttons $('table.questions-list col', qArray).removeAttr('width'); $('table.questions-list thead tr', qArray).append('<td />'); $('tr.answers-list', qArray).each(function(i) { $(this).append('<td><button class="comment-button" type="button" data-index="{SGQ}-'+i+'">Comments</button></td>'); }); // Put the comments questions into modal dialogs $(qComments).dialog({ autoOpen: false, width: 620, modal: true, resizable: false, draggable: false, closeOnEscape: true }); // Click events for comments buttons $('.comment-button').click(function() { var thisIndex = $(this).attr('data-index'); $('.comments-question.index-'+thisIndex).dialog('open'); }); // Interrupt the Next/Submit function (to put comments back in the form) $('#limesurvey').submit(function (e) { qComments.hide(); $('#limesurvey').append(qComments); }); }); </script>

Apologies for my delayed thanks. This was a very rushed project and your code saved me greatly so thanks!

Unfortunately, I have just come to realise that none of the comments boxes are saving the responses. I can enter text no issue, but nothing is saved in the data file.

I am not sure what the issue could be so I have attached the .lss file so you can see what one aspect of my survey looks like and hopefully help with the bug.

That's because you have changed the variable name "qComments" to "qReasons" in some places but not others, introducing a fatal JavaScript error when submitting the page.

Replace ALL instances of "qComments" with "qReasons".

Ugh just that one line at the very end! My eyes clearly glazed over it.

Thanks for picking that up for me! Error corrected and noted for future.
