timing of the presentation of questions was created by marcobani
Dear all,

I need to include a section in my survey that includes 24 images; I want to show every image for 2 seconds and then participants have to answer to a multiple choice question (with 4 alternatives).

I would like to know if there's a function on LS the allow to regulate the timing of the presentation of questions,

thanks in advance,

Marco

thank you very much;

I've temporized the photos but when I try the survey I've seen that sometimes the timer doesn't work,
in particular for some photos I can see the timer with the countdown below the photo but sometimes simply I see the photo for less that a second and then the system go directly to the next question.

After many trial there is no regularity in the photos that jumped the timer (it seems a random bias).

I've checked the settings and the timer is correctly included in all the photos.
There's any suggestion to fix this issue?

thanks in advance

Is the survey activated?

In not activated surveys we see this issue sometimes.

thanks;

yes, I've tried both activated and non-activated survey and the problem is still present,

if there's no way to fix this issue I would like to consider the upload of flashcard (transforming the photos in flash) or if there are other possibility I'll be glad to consider it

So, you should send the lss export of your survey.

You can insert your own timer with JavaScript.

Something like this in the source of the question:

Code:
<div class="timer" style="padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #CCC; margin: 10px auto; width: 200px; text-align: center;"> Time remaining: <span class="time"></span> </div> <p style="text-align:center;"> <img src="https://www.google.com/logos/doodles/2020/canada-day-2020-6753651837108439-2x.jpg" style="max-width: 400px;" /> </p> <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> $(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){ var delay = 10; // Delay time in seconds $('#question{QID} span.time').text(delay); var submitTimer = setInterval(function() { delay--; $('#question{QID} span.time').text(delay); if(delay == 0) { clearInterval(submitTimer); $('#question{QID} .question-text img').fadeOut(); $('#ls-button-submit').trigger('click'); } }, 1000); }); </script>

Hi,
maybe it is related to this bug
bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?id=16451

Fixed in Release 3.22.26+200714

Joffm

And I think there are identical question codes (DANVARisp, ...) in both groups DANVA and DANVA M

Thanks,

at the end of August my university have updated the version with the last release but when I activate the survey the problem with the timer is still present.
I attache the lss, if someone have other suggestions.

Thanks also for noticing the identical question codes

Well, after some tests I think the timer starts immediately, but the picture takes some time to be displayed depending on everything concerning the infrastructure.
Therefore it seems as if there were different timings.

So you'd better use Tony's solution.
Or you may have a look at this

If the image takes long to load, you might be able to try to "preload" it into the cache by linking it in another question (and of course hide it). This way the image is already in your cache and should load a lot quicker.
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).
