Hi!

thanks @DenisChenu for the helpful hideEmptyColumns plugin that seems exactly what I need to avoid too large arrays that scare respondents away! :-)

Unfortunately it seems that I have a similar problem as @Haap some months ago - the filtering does not work as intended (s. screenshots).

I use Limesurvey 2.6.4-lts from the github repository github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/tree/2.06lts (cloned on 170617), my template is the SkeletonQuest extensions.sondages.pro/skeletonquest-rwd-for-limesurvey/ , and I just cloned the plugin from github.com/SondagesPro/LS-hideEmptyColumn.git , unzipped and uploaded to plugins/hideEmptyColumn - and checked with the demosurvey. My result s. screenshots. Did I miss something here?

Thank you very much for the plugin and your help!

Hi @DenisChenu,

thanks for your response! I'll install and try it again. The demo on limesurvey.sondages.pro/655577.html?lang=en seems broken (?) May I ask you to set this up again? Maybe I can find the error by comparison of the html sources of the working example on your server and the not yet working example on mine.

Thank you very much!
Best, G

Because it's moved to demonstration.sondages.pro/655577.html

Hi,

I just compared the html and css of the example on demonstration.sondages.pro/655577.html and the result on my installation.

I found a difference in the hideemptycolumn.css from the download from extensions.sondages.pro/questions-updati...column/download.html vs. the css used in demonstration.sondages.pro/655577.html.

The "missing" parts (s. code below) are missing in the former, but are contained in the new demonstration. When I add these two lines, it works exactly like the example in demonstration.sondages.pro/655577.html.
Code:
td.hideEmptyColumn-hiddencolumn,th.hideEmptyColumn-hiddencolumn{
overflow:hidden !important;
border-spacing:0 !important;
border-collapse:collapse !important;
padding:0 !important;
width: 0 !important;  /*missing*/
min-width: 0 !important; /*missing*/
}
table.hideEmptyColumn-widthhiddencolumn{
border-collapse:collapse !important;
}


Now it does exactly what it should do - thanks to @DenisChenu!
Best, G

Hi,

The git repo seems uptodate : framagit.org/SondagePro-LimeSurvey-plugi.../hideemptycolumn.css

Maybe i didn't add it in the zip generation … thanks for report.

Just download extensions.sondages.pro/IMG/auto/hideEmptyColumn.zip : css seems up to date for me. Maybe assets generation broken for you ?

The downloaded hideemptycolumn.css from extensions.sondages.pro/IMG/auto/hideEmptyColumn.zip does not contain the two mentioned lines that are contained in the example that seem to make it work for me.


The css from extensions.sondages.pro/IMG/auto/hideEmptyColumn.zip :
Code:
td.hideEmptyColumn-hiddencolumn,th.hideEmptyColumn-hiddencolumn{
overflow:hidden !important;
border-spacing:0 !important;
border-collapse:collapse !important;
padding:0 !important;
}
table.hideEmptyColumn-widthhiddencolumn{
border-collapse:collapse !important;
}


vs. the css from the example on demonstration.sondages.pro/655577 (css: demonstration.sondages.pro/tmp/assets/59.../hideemptycolumn.css ):
Code:
td.hideEmptyColumn-hiddencolumn,th.hideEmptyColumn-hiddencolumn{
overflow:hidden !important;
border-spacing:0 !important;
border-collapse:collapse !important;
padding:0 !important;
width: 0 !important;
min-width: 0 !important;
}
table.hideEmptyColumn-widthhiddencolumn{
border-collapse:collapse !important;
}

Is this difference critical or should it work with the version w/o the two lines (width, min-width)?

Best, G

I would definitely include the width and min-width rules.
Cheers,

I found that the plugin also breaks if the column filter multiple choice question was marked "Mandatory"
In case anyone else is trying to get this working, make sure your multiple choice column filter question is "Optional"
You can work around this by setting the minimum number of responses to 1 for multiple choice questions.

It's also important to note that the column filtering question must be in a different question group that comes before the array you want to filter. It will not work if you put the filtering question in the same question group as the table.

I'm working in Limesurvey 2.73.1
