Descriptive options to Yes/No questions and Security?

Descriptive options to Yes/No questions and Security? was created by zenny
Hi,


1. How can one create multiple descriptive options to yes/no questions? I meant a question has radio button options to select yes/no, but every yes and no has multiple descriptive options to validate either yes and no options. Take for example:

Q: LimeSurvey is a useful tool:

Answers:

(radio button) Yes, because (check all that apply:
(checkbox1) It can be SELF-HOSTED.
(checkbox2) It is OPEN SOURCED.
(checkbox3) It is SUPERIOR to alternavives

(radio button) No, because (check all that apply):
(checkbox4) It has STEEP LEARNING CURVE.
(checkbox5) It requires PROGRAMMING KNOWLEDGE.
(checkbox6) It lacks FEATURES I need.


However, when a respondent choose either one should also be restricted from the relevant checkbox option in another or vice versa. Any clues?


2. What mechanisms are there to prevent automated bots in LimeSurvey (either a simple math or image captcha) which has been well-tested?

Thanks, and Cheers,
/z

1) Possible with significant JavaScript but not available out of the box.

2) Captcha on token public registration - manual.limesurvey.org/Survey_participant..._public_registration

@tparner: Thanks, but taken note with surprise that why hierarchical options were not addressed earlier in a very powerful application like LimeSurvey!?

Anyway my wishful thinking can be interpreted as a feature request (also see www.limesurvey.org/forum/future-features...-mixed-reply-options )! ;-)

Cheers, and have a nice weekend.

Well,
you can do it in 2- or 3-Levels.





The only thing is: You have to validate that not "Yes" AND "No" are selected.

But even the - high priced - commercial tool we use doesn't have this feature.

Hi,
I think this fulfills your wish.

However, when a respondent choose either one should also be restricted from the relevant checkbox option in another or vice versa.








And if the primary checkbox is unchecked you see the initial "Yes/No" again.

I added a little bit to this - custom - workaround that you find here:
manual.limesurvey.org/Workarounds:_Manip...meSurvey_version_3.x
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
// A function to handle "secondary" checkboxes
function secondaryCheckboxes(qID, primaryPosition, secondaryCount,primaryHide) {
  // Identify the elements
  var thisQuestion = $('#question'+qID);
  var primaryRow = $('li.question-item:eq('+(primaryPosition-1)+')', thisQuestion).closest('li.question-item');
  var primaryInput = $('input:checkbox', primaryRow);
  var secondaryRows = primaryRow.nextAll('li.question-item:lt('+(secondaryCount)+')');
  var secondaryInputs = $('input:checkbox', secondaryRows);
 
  var primaryHRow = $('li.question-item:eq('+(primaryHide-1)+')', thisQuestion).closest('li.question-item');
 
 
  // Indent the secondaries
  secondaryRows.css({ 'margin-left':'2.5em' });
 
  // Initial states of the secondary answers
  if (primaryInput.prop('checked') == false ) {
    secondaryRows.hide(); 
  } 
 
  // A listener on the primary answer to show or hide secondary answers 
  primaryInput.on('change', function (event) { 
 
    // Hide/show the secondary answers accordingly
    if (!$(this).is(':checked')) {
      primaryHRow.show(); 
      secondaryRows.hide();        
      secondaryInputs.prop('checked', false).trigger('change');
    }
    else {
      secondaryRows.show(); 
      primaryHRow.hide();        
    }
  });
} 
  $(document).ready(function() {
    // Sub-question 1 is primary followed by 3 secondaries
    // Sub-question 5 is to hide if 1 is checked
    secondaryCheckboxes({QID}, 1, 3, 5);
    // Sub-question 5 is primary followed by 3 secondaries    
    // Sub-question 1 is to hide if 5 is checked
    secondaryCheckboxes({QID}, 5, 3, 1);
    });  
</script>

@Joffm: Thanks for your kindness with the inputs. However, we tried to mimic a similar thing in the google forms where, the first part was Yes/No radio options and the second part is the descriptive. But when tested among some respondents, they find this way no appliable in particularly in the field of linguistic survey.

Danke Vielen, Herr @Joffm!
