Dear all,

We are now on version 2 and there is a small difference on showing the properties of the input.
The question requires numerical input (days of the week)
Everything between 1 and 7
The thing is that part of the question show in purple: every answer must be between 1 and 7
(in our case in Dutch, see attachment)

In Lime-survey 1.xx (the survey was made a couple of years ago in 1.xx) this remark does not show.

Cannot find a setting to manipulate this. Is there one? Or may another solution?

Many thanks, Marten

Try question setting "Hide tip" - www.limesurvey.org/manual/Question_type_...e_tip_.28hide_tip.29

Thanks. I tried that already, but the Hide tip is tied to the sentence below the input field.
It says here in Dutch: "In dit veld kunnen alleen cijfers worden ingevuld"

The purple sentence looks like it it something generic. So part of the numerical question type?

What version of LimeSurvey are you using? Have you tried with the default template?

Hi Mr. M,

the tip you are referring to is the emtip, which is generated bij the Expression Engine. In the template.css you can switch it off through a statement like:
.emtip{
display:none;
}

But only do this after carefully checking your complete survey, as these tips may contain valueable information for the user. In you case as described it could indeed be left away, but in other surveys we have had, it told the user to give between 2 and up to 4 answers fronm a larger quantity. This would give problems if left away at that question.

If needed you can leave it away for this one question, then the template.css would be something like:

#question[xxxx] .emtip{
display:none
}

where you have to replace [xxxx] with your actual questionnumber: like #question1234

I find that in the following example this tip is NOT shown by default:

- default template with no modifications
- Numeric input question
- Hide tip = "Yes"
- NO Question validation equation
- NO Question validation tip
- Minimum value = 1
- Maximum value = 7

That is much better! Guess I was too much focussed on the template...

or you can adapt the style directly in the source of the question with few javascript lines

OK, many thanks. My college can adjust the code.

[strike]I am looking for the:

- NO Question validation equation
- NO Question validation tip

settings. Not in Advanced settings I am afraid. [/strike]

BINGO!! Just put NO in the field. Thank you tpartner!
And all others. Problem solved.

Have a nice weekend, Marten

PS LS Version 2.00+ Build 130325

Is there a reason for not upgrading? You are using a LS version of more than 2 years old!

Just curious...

Tammo

Not really. We have introduced LS at the university here and they are quite happy. Lot's of complex surveys in version 1. They still use it.

Now, we built a new application for them and connected it to LS version 2, which we had installed indeed 2 years ago as test. But they wanted to stay on 1.xx No budget.

Might be good to upgrade now by the way. Thanks for the remark.
