semantic differential - mandatory and with "no answer" was created by Joffm
Hi, all,

here a question where I do not find a solution.

Scenario:
array with sementic differential and "no answer" at the right.
This is easy, if I set "not mandatory" and "show no answer=ON"
Answer codes from 1 to 7.

But the precoded "no answer" is not desired.
So I set {Q1_SQ001=0}, set it to a not existing answer code.
And I got:

which looks better.

But still the question is not mandatory.
I do not find a way to validate that each row is answered.
This because in the answer table the "no answer" column is empty.
In Q11_SQ002 "no answer" was selected.


So, my question:
Is there a way to validate this, or a different approach to have a mandatory array with an answer option "no answer", but move this to the right?

This is what I have so far, but the client is not satisfied.


Thanks in advance

Joffm

Dear Joffm, first the basics:
Which LS version?
Which template/theme?
Can you provide a LSS?

;-)

Hhahahaha, I couldn't resist, sorry. ;-)
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).

Oh, yes, I am sure, that you couldn't resist.
But you're absolutely right.
If we disregard the simplest rules, what should the newcomers think of us?

Version 3.22.1+200129
Theme doesn't seem to be important.
Here I showed it in "fruity", but in the real survey I use an extended theme from tfr.

I bet that Tpartner will find a solution. If I would have to guess, he will probably create a question with the "no answer" option as part of the scale and not via the LS settings, and then move this column to the right via Javascript, or something like that. ;-)

Did I hear my name?

This small script will insert the last column before the second last column:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
 
  $(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){
 
    // Define this question
    var thisQuestion = $('#question{QID}');
 
    // Move the last column
    $('col:nth-last-child(2)', thisQuestion).before($('col:last-child', thisQuestion));
 
    $('table.subquestion-list tr', thisQuestion).each(function(i) {
      $('> *:nth-last-child(2)', this).before($('> *:last-child', this));
    });
    });
</script>

Hi, Tony,
yes, you're right.

But since I'm too shy to call you directly,
holch had the assumption that you would help me (which of course I also hoped).

As usual an awful solution.

Thanks a lot.

Joffm

And again I learned something more about javascript.

A good idea for a question theme :)

Place the right part at position "X" :)

No worries, I did not assume that and I welcome suggestions. :)

I hope the community will benefit from the custom question theme here - github.com/tpartner/LimeSurvey-Adjustabl...c-Differential-Array

I see you use javascript ,

I confirm : doing ot without js seems near impossible. But in my opinion : it must be available without js .... questiontheme still lack of real functionnality
