You can test : gitlab.com/SondagesPro/coreAndTools/select2package

It replace dropdown in survey by select2.org/ if there are more than 15 choice
. Not really tested with 3.X

Dear DenisChenu

We are trying to evaluate whether we want to install the select2 plugin on our institutions limesurvey installation. Since we are running dozens of surveys from diefferent projects at the same time, we'd need to know in advance: is it possible to limit this plugin to certain surveys? Or will it automatically affect all of them?

I / we didn't manage to find this information in either the select2 or limesurvey forum, hence I would be very grateful if you could clarify!

Not currently, can be done.

I think it can be a settings by question too

Why you I specify them again?

Because there is a solution.

And you seem to have an original list. (if not you can download from several websites)
If you do not, but in the drop-down. Then export the survey as "*.txt" and open in EXCEL or OpenOffice. Here you find your drop-down entries.
And to transform this to an array is done in 5 minutes with a small macro.

Or you take this:
["Afghanistan", ...

Und es ist flexibel

Is this file OK?
www.limesurvey.org/downloads/file/175-li...3166-1-alpha-2-codes
Because when I use it, Instead of:
SQ00;Afghanistan
SQ01;Saudi Arabia
...
it will save them as:
AF;Afghanistan
SA;Saudi Arabia
...
Does it matter?

This thread is about whether to use the select2package or the autocomplete option.

What are you going to use?

And

SQ00;Afghanistan
SQ01;Saudi Arabia
...
it will save them as:
AF;Afghanistan
SA;Saudi Arabia
...
Does it matter?

shows that you never read this
www.limesurvey.org/manual/Adding_answers_or_subquestions
especially paragraph 2.Code

And if you are going to use this list, you obviously want to use the ISO-3166 Codes.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_3166_country_codes

Yes I did, probably missed it because was stuck with SQ, AO laws...

So from that I guess this file is good?
www.limesurvey.org/downloads/file/175-li...3166-1-alpha-2-codes
Because I didn't find any file in the wiki site.

Also this file was not ordered by the countries names so a friend helped me sort them with Excel.
But I cannot save them as "Label sets" so thought it was because of something I did (I guess it's a bug).

Dear Joffm,

Do you have a script like this with countries' names in other languages?
Besides that, can I use this syntaxes in version 3.17.7+190627?

Thanks

in other languages

Which ones?

Just use a search engine. Wikipedia of the desired languge will show something.
Then you have to copy this into the file.
Or you translate the names by yourself.

Second question:
Which syntax?

Did you try?

Joffm

Dear Joffm,

I have tried to used the syntaxes you provided:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#question{QID} input[type="text"]').autocomplete({
minLength: 2,
source: ["Test1","Test2","Test3"]
});
});
</script>

But it's not working.

As maybe it can interest someone, I used this source (for Brazilian Portuguese):

[“África do Sul”, “Albânia”, “Alemanha”, “Andorra”, “Angola”, “Anguilla”, “Antigua”, “Arábia Saudita”, “Argentina”, “Armênia”, “Aruba”, “Austrália”, “Áustria”, “Azerbaijão”, “Bahamas”, “Bahrein”, “Bangladesh”, “Barbados”, “Bélgica”, “Benin”, “Bermudas”, “Botsuana”, “Brasil”, “Brunei”, “Bulgária”, “Burkina Fasso”, “Butão”, “Cabo Verde”, “Camarões”, “Camboja”, “Canadá”, “Cazaquistão”, “Chade”, “Chile”, “China”, “Cidade do Vaticano”, “Colômbia”, “Congo”, “Coreia do Sul”, “Costa do Marfim”, “Costa Rica”, “Croácia”, “Dinamarca”, “Djibuti”, “Dominica”, “Estados Unidos da América”, “Egito”, “El Salvador”, “Emirados Árabes”, “Equador”, “Eritreia”, “Escócia”, “Eslováquia”, “Eslovênia”, “Espanha”, “Estônia”, “Etiópia”, “Fiji”, “Filipinas”, “Finlândia”, “França”, “Gabão”, “Gâmbia”, “Gana”, “Geórgia”, “Gibraltar”, “Granada”, “Grécia”, “Guadalupe”, “Guam”, “Guatemala”, “Guiana”, “Guiana Francesa”, “Guiné-Bissau”, “Haiti”, “Holanda”, “Honduras”, “Hong Kong”, “Hungria”, “Iêmen”, “Ilhas Cayman”, “Ilhas Cook”, “Ilhas Curaçao”, “Ilhas Marshall”, “Ilhas Turks & Caicos”, “Ilhas Virgens (brit.)”, “Ilhas Virgens(amer.)”, “Ilhas Wallis e Futuna”, “Índia”, “Indonésia”, “Inglaterra”, “Irlanda”, “Islândia”, “Israel”, “Itália”, “Jamaica”, “Japão”, “Jordânia”, “Kuwait”, “Letônia”, “Líbano”, “Liechtenstein”, “Lituânia”, “Luxemburgo”, “Macau”, “Macedônia”, “Madagáscar”, “Malásia”, “Malaui”, “Mali”, “Malta”, “Marrocos”, “Martinica”, “Mauritânia”, “Mauritius”, “México”, “Moldova”, “Mônaco”, “Montserrat”, “Nepal”, “Nicarágua”, “Níger”, “Nigéria”, “Noruega”, “Nova Caledônia”, “Nova Zelândia”, “Omã”, “Palau”, “Panamá”, “Papua-nova Guiné”, “Paquistão”, “Peru”, “Polinésia Francesa”, “Polônia”, “Porto Rico”, “Portugal”, “Qatar”, “Quênia”, “República Dominicana”, “República Tcheca”, “Reunion”, “Romênia”, “Ruanda”, “Rússia”, “Saipan”, “Samoa Americana”, “Senegal”, “Serra Leone”, “Seychelles”, “Singapura”, “Síria”, “Sri Lanka”, “St. Kitts & Nevis”, “St. Lúcia”, “St. Vincent”, “Sudão”, “Suécia”, “Suíça”, “Suriname”, “Tailândia”, “Taiwan”, “Tanzânia”, “Togo”, “Trinidad & Tobago”, “Tunísia”, “Turquia”, “Ucrânia”, “Uganda”, “Uruguai”, “Venezuela”, “Vietnam”, “Zaire”, “Zâmbia”, “Zimbábue”]

If you do not provide your lss export, and you are always a bit vague in your questions
I can't help.
You see I don't know which type of question you used:
"short text" or "array(text)"?

But it's not working.

It's like "My car doesn't start. What's the problem?"

Hi

I used this syntaxes in the question source:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#question{QID} input[type="text"]').autocomplete({
minLength: 2,
source: ["África do Sul", "Albânia", "Alemanha", "Andorra", "Angola", "Anguilla", "Antigua", "Arábia Saudita", "Argentina", "Armênia", "Aruba", "Austrália", "Áustria", "Azerbaijão", "Bahamas", "Bahrein", "Bangladesh", "Barbados", "Bélgica", "Benin", "Bermudas", "Botsuana", "Brasil", "Brunei", "Bulgária", "Burkina Fasso", "Butão", "Cabo Verde", "Camarões", "Camboja", "Canadá", "Cazaquistão", "Chade", "Chile", "China", "Vaticano", "Colômbia", "Congo", "Coreia do Norte", "Coreia do Sul", "Costa do Marfim", "Costa Rica", "Croácia", "Dinamarca", "Djibuti", "Dominica", "Estados Unidos da América", "Egito", "El Salvador", "Emirados Árabes", "Equador", "Eritreia", "Escócia", "Eslováquia", "Eslovênia", "Espanha", "Estônia", "Etiópia", "Fiji", "Filipinas", "Finlândia", "França", "Gabão", "Gâmbia", "Gana", "Geórgia", "Gibraltar", "Granada", "Grécia", "Guadalupe", "Guam", "Guatemala", "Guiana", "Guiana Francesa", "Guiné-Bissau", "Haiti", "Holanda", "Honduras", "Hong Kong", "Hungria", "Iêmen", "Ilhas Cayman", "Ilhas Cook", "Ilhas Curaçao", "Ilhas Marshall", "Ilhas Turks & Caicos", "Ilhas Virgens (brit.)", "Ilhas Virgens(amer.)", "Ilhas Wallis e Futuna", "Índia", "Indonésia", "Inglaterra", "Irlanda", "Islândia", "Israel", "Itália", "Jamaica", "Japão", "Jordânia", "Kuwait", "Letônia", "Líbano", "Liechtenstein", "Lituânia", "Luxemburgo", "Macau", "Macedônia", "Madagáscar", "Malásia", "Malaui", "Mali", "Malta", "Marrocos", "Martinica", "Mauritânia", "Mauritius", "México", "Moldova", "Mônaco", "Montserrat", "Nepal", "Nicarágua", "Níger", "Nigéria", "Noruega", "Nova Caledônia", "Nova Zelândia", "Omã", "Palau", "Panamá", "Papua-Nova Guiné", "Paquistão", "Peru", "Polinésia Francesa", "Polônia", "Porto Rico", "Portugal", "Qatar", "Quênia", "República Dominicana", "República Tcheca", "Reunion", "Romênia", "Ruanda", "Rússia", "Saipan", "Samoa Americana", "Senegal", "Serra Leone", "Seychelles", "Singapura", "Síria", "Sri Lanka", "St. Kitts & Nevis", "St. Lúcia", "St. Vincent", "Sudão", "Suécia", "Suíça", "Suriname", "Tailândia", "Taiwan", "Tanzânia", "Togo", "Trinidad & Tobago", "Tunísia", "Turquia", "Ucrânia", "Uganda", "Uruguai", "Venezuela", "Vietnam", "Zaire", "Zâmbia", "Zimbábue"]
});
});
</script>

And it didn't work as I expected. I mean, by starting writing, for example, "Br..." (having in mind "Brasil" - Brazil in portuguese), it didn't show up the whole word.

Is it clear now?
