Segmenting sub-questions by category was created by dla

Hi,

I'm using Limesurvey for a social network analysis. Principle is to submit to respondants a list of >140 NPO names and ask them to click the buttons (4 types) that matches the kind of relationship they have with each NPO.

I attach 2 jpg to show the setting.

Since the list of NPO is quite long, I'd like to segment it into categories (e.g. "educational", "social", etc.) to make it easier for the respondants.

My question : How can I insert categories in this list ? For instance, between "ADC77" and "ADSEA AESF" (jpg) writing "Educational" without buttons and without entry in the database.

Thanks a lot for any suggestion!

David

If you need some inspiration:

1) you can adapt (ID, selectors, colspan, etc.) and try:
(have to be placed in the question, question help or elsewhere)

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">	
$(document).ready(function(){ 
$( "<tbody ><tr class='array1'><th class='answertext' >New Label</th><td colspan='5'></tr>" ).insertBefore( "#javatbdxxxxxx" );
});
</script>

2) Read this post and this one too

Thank you, it helps!
Would it be possible to put on the same row the category (e.g. INSERTION) and the header ?
pic 1 is what I get with your tweak, pic 2 is what would ideal...
Many thanks
David

Maybe:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">	
$(document).ready(function(){ 
$( "<tbody ><tr class='array1'><th class='answertext' >New Label</th><td>connaissance</td><td>contacts</td><td>partenariats</td><td>sans réponse</td></tr>" ).insertBefore( "#javatbdxxxxxx" );
});
</script>

Or to expand on Ben's thoughts, maybe something like this which inserts a modified clone of the header row.

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">	
	$(document).ready(function() {
 
		// Identify this question
		var thisQuestion = $('#question{QID}');
		
		// Create a new "sub-header" row
		var subHeader = $('table.subquestions-list thead tr:eq(0)', thisQuestion).clone();	
		$('td:eq(0)', subHeader).remove();
		subHeader.addClass('sub-header');
		subHeader.prepend('<th class="answertext">New Label</th>');	
 
		// Insert the new "sub-header" row
		$('#javatbdxxxxxx').after(subHeader);
	});		
</script>

Cheers,

Thanks, it's almost that... But how to push to the right the labels "connaissance-contacts-partenariats-sans réponse" and adjust their size to the columns ?

Merci!
David

Thanks Tony, your suggestion crossed my answer to Benoît - and brought as well the solution. GREAT!
It just remains the almost neglectable issue of the very first sub-header (see pic below "New Label") that appear below the first row (AGISSONS). It should be someting like a up-header to come above the this first row and below the header.

Tony, I also see that you write in your codes "var thisQuestion = $('#question{QID}'" : what does it bring to enter QID here since it doesnt appear necessary?

Thanks to both of you

Sorry, I don't understand what you want for a layout. Can you provide a mockup?

There is no need to replace {QID}, that is automatically parsed by Expression Manager.

Thanks.
What I mean is that the first sub-header sould be positionned ABOVE the first row, as in the pic below.
What is a mockup? Is this the lsq file of the question?

In the worst case Tony will provide you with a smart code to hide this row... using javascript

Okay, here's an example of a script that will insert a label for the top header row and then insert a couple of sub-header rows:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">	
	$(document).ready(function() {
 
		// Identify this question
		var thisQuestion = $('#question{QID}');
		
		//Insert the first header label	
		$('table.subquestions-list thead tr:eq(0)', thisQuestion).addClass('sub-header-row');
		$('table.subquestions-list thead tr:eq(0) td:eq(0)', thisQuestion).remove();
		$('table.subquestions-list thead tr:eq(0)', thisQuestion).prepend('<th class="sub-header-text">Sub-Header 1</th>');
		
		// Create a clone of the top header row
		var subHeader = $('table.subquestions-list thead tr:eq(0)', thisQuestion).clone();
 
		// Insert a clone of the clone after row 2
		$('.sub-header-text', subHeader).text('Sub-Header 2');
		$('tr.answers-list:eq(1)', thisQuestion).after(subHeader.clone());
 
		// Insert a clone of the clone after row 5
		$('.sub-header-text', subHeader).text('Sub-Header 3');
		$('tr.answers-list:eq(4)', thisQuestion).after(subHeader.clone());
		
		// Fix up the row classes
		var rowClass = 1;
		$('table.subquestions-list tbody tr', thisQuestion).each(function(i) {
			if($(this).hasClass('sub-header-row')) {
				rowClass = 1
			}
			else {
				rowClass++;
				$(this).removeClass('array1 array2')
				if(rowClass % 2 == 0) {
					$(this).addClass('array2');
				}
				else {
					$(this).addClass('array1');
				}
			}
		});
	});	
</script>

Then, you could add something like this to template.css to style the header rows (this is for the default template):

Code:

.sub-header-row {
	background-color: #999999;
}

.sub-header-row th {
	font-weight: bold;
	text-align: center;
	color: #FFFFFF;
	background-color: transparent !important;
}
