LimeSurvey Community Edition Version 6.5.18+240723

Hello,

Three years ago, I created a questionnaire for a service at the university where I work. I was quite proficient at the time, but I have forgotten a lot since then, and this service is now asking me to add a feature to the form...

In this questionnaire, there is a point where a date needs to be selected. If the chosen date is less than X days from today's date, a message should be displayed.

Unfortunately, I don't have the knowledge to set up this condition—I believe some coding is required. I tried looking for a pre-existing condition but couldn't find one.

It would be amazing to get a little help!

Thank you in advance,
Cyril
 

Hi,
we do not like cross posts.
You asked this question one day ago in the French section.
At least you should have mentioned this.

It is really frustrating for us volunteers if somebody gives an answer in one section - only to see that there was an answer - probably the same - already in another section.
Please keep this in mind in the future.

But to answer your question:

1. setting "Minimum date"
See the manual.
[url] www.limesurvey.org/manual/Question_type_...imum_date_(date_min) [/url]
a.. "+10 days"
b. date("Y-m-d",strtotime('now')+10*60*60*24)

2. question validation equation
The selected date must not be smaller than the actual date + 10 days
strtotime(self)-strtotime('now')>10*60*60*24

Hi Joffm, I am sincerely sorry. My approach was in good faith; I was in a bit of a rush and worried, and I genuinely thought there was less activity on the French forum. It was not my intention to post my request everywhere; otherwise, I would have done so on the forums in other languages as well. But uou're absolutely right, I should have mentionned my other messge.
My sincere apologies, and thank you very much for your help.

I have also informed others about your solution in my message on the French forum.

Hi Joffm,
I thank you again for your answer. This is working. But I think I was not clear in my question, I'm sorry for that.
People can select date even if it's 10 days under than actual date. I juste want to show a text only if the selected date is under 10 days. I tried to show a text question, but I don't know how to do that, even if I tried some ideas.
Thank you very much for you precious help.

Hi,

I juste want to show a text only if the selected date is under 10 days

well, you can insert this message in the question text with an IF, like  
Or you use the bootstrap alert to make it more appealing (which - I suppose - you already saw in the French part)

Hi @Joffm,

I thank you very much for your first option (message in the question text with an IF), it's the first time it finally works for me 

I'm sorry but don't know how to use your second option, since I don't know where to put the code for doing a bootstrap alert.

Sincerely, Cyril

But it's the same.
Either you enter this text (with some css)
'<span style="color:red;font-weight:bold">Attention: Your selected date is less then 10 days from now</span>','')}

or you enter this text (that uses the class "alert")
'<div class="alert alert-warning alert-dismissible fade show" role="alert"><strong>Attention :</strong> Your selected date is less then 10 days from now<button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="alert" aria-label="Close"></button></div>','')}
