I am using LS Version 2.50+ Build 160715.

I have a survey with 14 questions and 20 hidden equation questions.

The progress bar seems to be taking count of the hidden questions also. It shows around 26% when the last question is displayed (14th question).

Is it possible to fix this?

Limesurvey is missing an option to calculate progress on shown questions instead of position.
You can support a feature request
bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?id=9677

In that feature request you'll find a note how to modify the progressbar via JQuery.

Hello,
Thanks.

I am trying your workaround. If I paste this script in endpage.pstpl. I get javascript error "Unexpected token <" .

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
modprocessbar({processbarValueStart},{processbarValueEnd});
});
</script>

On inspection it shows the error.
modprocessbar(<span class='em-expression em-haveerror'><span title='Undefined variable' class='em-error'><span title='Undefined variable' class='em-var em-var-error' >processbarValueStart</span></span></span>,<span class='em-expression em-haveerror'><span title='Undefined variable' class='em-error'><span title='Undefined variable' class='em-var em-var-error' >processbarValueEnd</span></span></span>);

Do I need to define the two variables.

Via JavaScript/JQuery:

Read current value:
var valueprogress = $("#progressbar").progressbar("option","value");

Set value:
$("#progressbar").progressbar({
value: valueprogressnew
});

You might correct the progress by hand after finishing the survey design.
E.g. you can use the questions group to add the JavaScript and set the value of the progress-bar by hand.

The workaround in the bugtracker is used to bridge surveys. The
processbarValueStart and processbarValueEnd are hidden equation questions.
That way the survey designer don't need to fiddle with the javascript code.
But it won't make any sense to use that part for your issue.

Meanwhile I found this issue has been fixed.

I am using LS Version 2.50+ Build 160715. But this is not updated in this version.

In version 2.5, the progress bars have been switched from jQuery to Bootstrap (for some reason?) so I think you will need to add something like this to the source of the group description or a question:

Thanks for pointing that out. Looks like i no longer need to answer topics around LS 2.5. Currently no option for me to switch from LTS.

    $('.progress-bar').css({

    }).attr('aria-valuenow', progressValue).text(progressValue+'%');
  });
</script>

Thanks Tony, this works for me... I assume I can use this to set the progress bar % for any question or question group? Also, do you know if this will be upgrade safe between 2.5 and 3.0?

Yes, you can use it in any question.

3.x will also use Bootstrap so you should be safe.

Great, thanks Tony...

I have the same problem.
LS 2.64.7+170404
I have survey with 60 questions in six groups (10 questions in each group). There are 60 hidden equation questions which are displayed ( I don't know why - each one is hide ) and counted on a progress bar...
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong....
