Hello,

I am using an array-numbers question with checkbox layout to ask respondents for connections between given names that they entered in four previous questions. Now I have a new problem: On the x-scale and the y-scale I want only the previously entered names to be shown. I used the subquestion-relevance for this. For the y-scale, this has worked fine and the the logic is shown as the following: (the questions 2, 3, 4 and 5 with their respective subquestions a-e ask for the names, the relevance sets the condition that the entry cannot be empty)
SQ-1 q10_q10aa ! is_empty(q2_q2a) q2_q2a
SQ-2 q10_q10ab ! is_empty(q2_q2b) q2_q2b
SQ-3 q10_q10ac ! is_empty(q2_q2c) q2_q2c
SQ-4 q10_q10ad ! is_empty(q2_q2d) q2_q2d
SQ-5 q10_q10ae ! is_empty(q2_q2e) q2_q2e
SQ-6 q10_q10af ! is_empty(q3_q3a) q3_q3a
SQ-7 q10_q10ag ! is_empty(q3_q3b) q3_q3b
SQ-8 q10_q10ah ! is_empty(q3_q3c) q3_q3c
SQ-9 q10_q10ai ! is_empty(q3_q3d) q3_q3d
SQ-10 q10_q10aj ! is_empty(q3_q3e) q3_q3e
SQ-11 q10_q10ak ! is_empty(q4_q4a) q4_q4a
SQ-12 q10_q10al ! is_empty(q4_q4b) q4_q4b
SQ-13 q10_q10am ! is_empty(q4_q4c) q4_q4c
SQ-14 q10_q10an ! is_empty(q4_q4d) q4_q4d
SQ-15 q10_q10ao ! is_empty(q4_q4e) q4_q4e
SQ-16 q10_q10ap ! is_empty(q5_q5a) q5_q5a
SQ-17 q10_q10aq ! is_empty(q5_q5b) q5_q5b
SQ-18 q10_q10ar ! is_empty(q5_q5c) q5_q5c
SQ-19 q10_q10as ! is_empty(q5_q5d) q5_q5d
SQ-20 q10_q10at ! is_empty(q5_q5e) q5_q5e

As I said, this works fine for the y-scale. For the x-scale of the array I have used the exact same relevance equation, but it does not work and the logic is shown as this: (with [VALUE: q10ba] instead of the relevance equation i entered)
A[1]-1 q10ba [VALUE: q10ba] q2_q2a
A[1]-2 q10bb [VALUE: q10bb] q2_q2b
A[1]-3 q10bc [VALUE: q10bc] q2_q2c
A[1]-4 q10bd [VALUE: q10bd] q2_q2d
A[1]-5 q10be [VALUE: q10be] q2_q2e
A[1]-6 q10bf [VALUE: q10bf] q3_q3a
A[1]-7 q10bg [VALUE: q10bg] q3_q3b
A[1]-8 q10bh [VALUE: q10bh] q3_q3c
A[1]-9 q10bi [VALUE: q10bi] q3_q3d
A[1]-10 q10bj [VALUE: q10bj] q3_q3e
A[1]-11 q10bk [VALUE: q10bk] q4_q4a
A[1]-12 q10bl [VALUE: q10bl] q4_q4b
A[1]-13 q10bm [VALUE: q10bm] q4_q4c
A[1]-14 q10bn [VALUE: q10bn] q4_q4d
A[1]-15 q10bo [VALUE: q10bo] q4_q4e
A[1]-16 q10bp [VALUE: q10bp] q5_q5a
A[1]-17 q10bq [VALUE: q10bq] q5_q5b
A[1]-18 q10br [VALUE: q10br] q5_q5c
A[1]-19 q10bs [VALUE: q10bs] q5_q5d
A[1]-20 q10bt [VALUE: q10bt] q5_q5e

Now my question: Why is this happening and how can I get the relevance equation to work for the x-scale too?

Thank you very much in advance!

You can't ... there are no filter in X scale.

Only solution : javascript hack.

You can test this plugin too : framagit.org/SondagePro-LimeSurvey-plugin/hideEmptyColumn .

You need to update some css according to the README : framagit.org/SondagePro-LimeSurvey-plugi...lob/master/README.md

Thank you very much for your answer. But I am not talking about filters, I am talking about hiding the subanswer using the relevance equation. I mean, why should there be the option to enter a relevance equation if it doesn't take any effect?

Because : if you see 'relevance' part for X (columns) : it's a bug. Relevance/filter never work for X/column, only for line.

I's not clear in the manual www.limesurvey.org/manual/Question_type_...r_.28array_filter.29 . (todo : update manual).

Then alternative solution : use javascript to 'hide' column.

PS : i report the bug about sub-question relevance on X axis : it's a bug. Your right.
PS2 : bug reported bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?id=12097

Ok, thank you very much for you answer. So I can give up on trying this. In this case, can you explain how I can use javascript for this? I unfortunately have no idea about javascript and I would be enormously grateful if you could just tell me what I have to do where.

Hi,

I put a link of a plugin than can help you to have a similar system . Then you must download and intall the plugin .

After some documentation

Hi,

I downloaded the plugin, but I can't find a way to install it since I am using limesurvey only in my safari-webbrowser. I am using it in safari because I couldn't find any installation guide to install limesurvey on my mac.

It's your installation or a hosted services (by LimeSurvey GMBH).

If hosted : you can not import plugin : open a support ticket to LimeSurvey GMBH.

Hi,

thank you very much. I'm using the hosted service so I will open a support ticket. What should I ask for? Will they load the plugin on the server for me?

And is javascript not an option anymore?

Hello,

with the help of Limesurvey Support I have uploaded the .js and .css files to my template and inserted the lines into startpage.pstpl, but I still can't get it to work properly. Any idea?

I have attached a screenshot of what it looks like now in the template editor.

Hi,

After : you must
- Use expression manager to hide X column text : {if(mytest==1,'Text to be shown','')}

Think it must work
