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

Yes, it's only a javascript solution … more a hack currently.

It’s really quite good! As long as everyone is aware of the limitations, your plugin solution helps a lot
