Card Sorting was created by RitaShen

Hi there,
I have a question about the Card Sorting,

can we limit that each grid to only one item?
for example I have 6 items on the list, and I have 3 grid, just need choose the top 3 items to rank.

Hi, Rita,
did you try this
[url] www.limesurvey.org/manual/Special:MyLang...Javascript#Q_Sorting [/url]

Reading the description it is what you would like to have

This workaround is heavily based on the Card Sorting above. It uses JavaScript to allow dragging items into "buckets" to "card sort" them with the additional twist to limit the cards per bucket. A multiple-short-text question is used with subquestions being the draggable items. The data recorded for each item is the "bucket" number that it was dropped in. "Buckets" and their limits are pre-defined in a list in the "Display" section of the question.

It's a hint. I never used it myself.

What you are looking for is a ranking, not card sorting. So why not use the ranking question?

Card sorting has the characteristic that you want to know how people categorize some items/words/etc. If you limit each category to 1 item, it is no card sorting anymore, in my opinion.

Your use case should be easily covered by the ranking question built into Limesurvey.

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).

I agree. That was my first thought, too.

But I did not mention this, because Rita is an experienced user. Working with LimeSurvey for more than 5 years.
So I decided that she would like to have some variations in answering the questions, some kind of gamification to make it less boring.

And therefore it is not too bad.

Yeah, I mean people can do whatever they want and find better, I just thought I mention it, because sometimes you don't see the forest because of all the trees... (to use one of our good old-fashioned German proverbs...).

And gamification: While I agree that it can be nice, I feel lately things are getting "over-gamified" sometimes and you loose a lot of time with things that could be solved / answered a lot quicker.

I don't think that's a good idea if you expect respondents using smaller mobile devices. There won't be much room for horizontal boxes.

I agree with Tony, though this was my extension of his theme.

Some question types / question layouts are difficult to handle on small devices.
When we use some of them (like "Points of Interest", or the option to magnify images with the "highslide" library") we force the use of desktops. Otherwise screenout.
Or sometimes we use a switch and display one of two options depending on the screen width.

Yes, in surveys requiring large tables to show lots of information for choice comparisons I sniff the screen size in the welcome message and, if too small, remove the "Next" button and display a suggestion that they return using a larger device.

Okay,

Hi,
here is my addition to the original question theme.

According to your requirement.
But it is very different from the customer's idea.

So, add this to the question text in source code mode:

Code:

<style type="text/css">
.card-sort-question .items-start {
    width: 94%;
    max-width: 100%;
    height: auto;
    min-height:80px;
    margin-top: 8px;
    margin-left: 3%;
    border: 1px solid #666;
    -moz-border-radius: 6px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 6px;
    -khtml-border-radius: 6px;
    border-radius: 6px;
}
 
 
.card-sort-question .card {
    width: auto;
    min-width:80px;
    height: auto;
    margin: 5px 5px;
    padding: 4px;
    background-color: transparent;
    background-color: #5bc0de;
    color: #fcf8e3;
    border:0;
    -moz-border-radius: 0px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 0px;
    -khtml-border-radius: 0px;
    border-radius: 0px;
}
 
.card-sort-question .items-end-wrapper {
    float: left;
    margin-left: 3%;
    width: 94%;
    max-width: 100%;
    margin-top: 15px;
}
@media (min-width: 560px){
  .card-sort-question .items-end-wrapper {
    display: flex;
  }
}
 
.card-sort-question .items-end-inner {
    display: inline-block;
    width:100%;
    margin-right: 0.5%;
    margin-left: 0.5%;
}
 
.card-sort-question .items-end {
    min-height: 60px !important;
}
 
.card-sort-question .items-end-text {
    text-align:left;
}
.card-sort-question .items-end .card {
    margin: 5px 7px;
    color: #fcf8e3;
    background-color:#5bc0de;
}
</style>

I left some - not necessary - settings. So you are able to adapt to your needs more easily.
Otherwise you may have a look at the "cardsort.css".

And, though it is responsive, it doesn't work on (my) smartphones.

BTW: What you showed is much better done with a simple array where you display the gradient in an additional header.
Or with a slider.

I remember that a survey tool - commercial, expensive - contains this option, called "drag to scale".
Looks by default like this

And this is a bit nearer to your image.
Without drag/drop,
But with gradient, images in (-3) and (+3) and a hovering effect.

Joffm

P.S. As nearly always, I only adapted a solution of Tony Partner.

I used this to insert this gradient.
