Timer (force the participants to stay on one page) was created by timkim119
Hi
I really appreciate the work you do as well as the support and solution you provide.

I'm currently making a survey and was wondering if it's possible to put a timer on a group of questions
I need to have some pages with different texts and want to make sure that the participants read the texts of those pages. (and not just skip the page)

In order to do that, I want to set a timer (2-3 minutes) forcing them to stay on that page (during these 2-3 minutes, participants cannot click on "next page" button for example)

My version is "Version 2.50+ Build 160418"

Thank you for your help

best,

You can add something like this to the question source:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">    
  $(document).ready(function() {
    // Hide the "Next" button
    $("#movenextbtn").hide();
 
    // Show the button after n milliseconds
    setTimeout(function () {
      $("#movenextbtn").show();
    }, 120000);
  });
</script>
Cheers,
Tony Partner

Hello Everybody :)

I have the same question and and i already tried the code from tpartner. Do i have to put it to the Question source of the question or the question group? And do i habe to change the time "n milliseconds" or give any number for n?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Place the script in the source of any question on the page. See here for tips on inserting JavaScript - www.limesurvey.org/manual/Workarounds:_M...tc..29_in_LimeSurvey

Replace the "120000" with the number of milliseconds you want to delay.

Thank you for you answer. Unfortunately it still doesn't work and i have no idea why :( I have to admit that i have no experience with JavaScript so please excuse my answers. Could you maybe have a look at what i did? I put the code behind a inframe-code (for a video) in the question box. So i want that the participants have to watch the video before they can go to the next site.

<iframe frameborder="1" height="810" scrolling="yes" src="/limesurvey/upload/surveys/195867/flash/VERS3%20G%20converted.mp4" width="1440"></iframe><script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).ready(function() {
// Hide the "Next" button
$("#movenextbtn").hide();

// Show the button after n milliseconds
setTimeout(function () {
$("#movenextbtn").show();
}, 158000);
});
</script>


Thank you very much!!!!!!

Hi, cloudkicker,
I just tested this code (very similar to yours, except of the source of the video)
Code:
Please, watch the video.
Please, watch the video
<p><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.myserver.de/limesurvey/upload/surveys/252416/files/Lonesome.mp4" width="640"></iframe></p>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">    
  $(document).ready(function() {
    // Hide the "Next" button
    $("#movenextbtn").hide();
 
    // Show the button after n milliseconds
    setTimeout(function () {
      $("#movenextbtn").show();
    }, 10000);
  });
</script>

And it works as expected.
Just see this small example: (after 10 sec there appears the button)

What exactly doesn't work in your survey?

Cloudkicker, can you activate a test survey and give us a link so we can see the source code?

Thanks a lot! I tried it with the code from Joffm in a new testsurvey ( 141.30.89.220/limesurvey/index.php/726177/lang-de ) and it works. Unfortunately it still doesn't work in my mainsurvey ( 141.30.89.220/limesurvey/index.php/195867/lang-de ) with the exact same code.

nextbutton = "weiter"-button

Is there any posibility that it doesnt work because i already have a code behind the question with the video? --> I have three different videos/groups in my survey and it randomly shows you one of the three videos.

Thats my very last idea to solve the problem :unsure:

Greetings

Your template seems to be broken and has JavaScript errors preventing that script from running and the progress bar from working..

Among possible other problems:
- There is a JavaScript error on line 3 of the source - "setJsVar is not defined".
- There is a JavaScript error on line 434 of em_javascript.js.
- There are scripts and links to stylesheets inserted before the opening <html> tag.
- There is no closing </head> tag.
- There is no opening <body> tag

I would start with fixing these and retesting.
Cheers,
Tony Partner
