Hi,

I have a request from a client that wants to make sure that the a potential survey will be opened only via mobile device. If not we should screen out the respondents.

Could you please advise if there is any solution for this?

Thank you very much in advance.

Best regrads
Daniel

Define "mobile device". That's a moving target now. For example a Surface Pro is both a tablet and a PC/laptop. You may be better to target screen sizes.

Cheers,
Tony Partner

Hi Tony,

For this particular survey we should consider only mobile phones as mobile device.
Just to add i'm using lime version 2.73.

Tony are right,

Else :
- Included javascript solution : github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/tree/ma...answer/shortfreetext
- PHP solution (need little update for 3.X) gitlab.com/SondagesPro/findUserAgentInfo

You will find a jQuery solution here, working in most cases to my experience:
detectmobilebrowsers.com/

Hint: add this to DenisChenu's script addon in an hidden equation question at the beginning of the survey

jQuery code:
Code:
/**
 * jQuery.browser.mobile (https://detectmobilebrowser.com/)
 *
 * jQuery.browser.mobile will be true if the browser is a mobile device
 *
 **/
(function(a){(jQuery.browser=jQuery.browser||{}).mobile=/(android|bb\d+|meego).+mobile|avantgo|bada\/|blackberry|blazer|compal|elaine|fennec|hiptop|iemobile|ip(hone|od)|iris|kindle|lge |maemo|midp|mmp|mobile.+firefox|netfront|opera m(ob|in)i|palm( os)?|phone|p(ixi|re)\/|plucker|pocket|psp|series(4|6)0|symbian|treo|up\.(browser|link)|vodafone|wap|windows ce|xda|xiino/i.test(a)||/1207|6310|6590|3gso|4thp|50[1-6]i|770s|802s|a wa|abac|ac(er|oo|s\-)|ai(ko|rn)|al(av|ca|co)|amoi|an(ex|ny|yw)|aptu|ar(ch|go)|as(te|us)|attw|au(di|\-m|r |s )|avan|be(ck|ll|nq)|bi(lb|rd)|bl(ac|az)|br(e|v)w|bumb|bw\-(n|u)|c55\/|capi|ccwa|cdm\-|cell|chtm|cldc|cmd\-|co(mp|nd)|craw|da(it|ll|ng)|dbte|dc\-s|devi|dica|dmob|do(c|p)o|ds(12|\-d)|el(49|ai)|em(l2|ul)|er(ic|k0)|esl8|ez([4-7]0|os|wa|ze)|fetc|fly(\-|_)|g1 u|g560|gene|gf\-5|g\-mo|go(\.w|od)|gr(ad|un)|haie|hcit|hd\-(m|p|t)|hei\-|hi(pt|ta)|hp( i|ip)|hs\-c|ht(c(\-| |_|a|g|p|s|t)|tp)|hu(aw|tc)|i\-(20|go|ma)|i230|iac( |\-|\/)|ibro|idea|ig01|ikom|im1k|inno|ipaq|iris|ja(t|v)a|jbro|jemu|jigs|kddi|keji|kgt( |\/)|klon|kpt |kwc\-|kyo(c|k)|le(no|xi)|lg( g|\/(k|l|u)|50|54|\-[a-w])|libw|lynx|m1\-w|m3ga|m50\/|ma(te|ui|xo)|mc(01|21|ca)|m\-cr|me(rc|ri)|mi(o8|oa|ts)|mmef|mo(01|02|bi|de|do|t(\-| |o|v)|zz)|mt(50|p1|v )|mwbp|mywa|n10[0-2]|n20[2-3]|n30(0|2)|n50(0|2|5)|n7(0(0|1)|10)|ne((c|m)\-|on|tf|wf|wg|wt)|nok(6|i)|nzph|o2im|op(ti|wv)|oran|owg1|p800|pan(a|d|t)|pdxg|pg(13|\-([1-8]|c))|phil|pire|pl(ay|uc)|pn\-2|po(ck|rt|se)|prox|psio|pt\-g|qa\-a|qc(07|12|21|32|60|\-[2-7]|i\-)|qtek|r380|r600|raks|rim9|ro(ve|zo)|s55\/|sa(ge|ma|mm|ms|ny|va)|sc(01|h\-|oo|p\-)|sdk\/|se(c(\-|0|1)|47|mc|nd|ri)|sgh\-|shar|sie(\-|m)|sk\-0|sl(45|id)|sm(al|ar|b3|it|t5)|so(ft|ny)|sp(01|h\-|v\-|v )|sy(01|mb)|t2(18|50)|t6(00|10|18)|ta(gt|lk)|tcl\-|tdg\-|tel(i|m)|tim\-|t\-mo|to(pl|sh)|ts(70|m\-|m3|m5)|tx\-9|up(\.b|g1|si)|utst|v400|v750|veri|vi(rg|te)|vk(40|5[0-3]|\-v)|vm40|voda|vulc|vx(52|53|60|61|70|80|81|83|85|98)|w3c(\-| )|webc|whit|wi(g |nc|nw)|wmlb|wonu|x700|yas\-|your|zeto|zte\-/i.test(a.substr(0,4))})(navigator.userAgent||navigator.vendor||window.opera);

There is also a php version avaliable on the page I've mentioned. This could be integrated into the em_expression-helper.php =>@tpartner this brings me back to the idea of an update save extendable em_expression_helper :)

You can check for the "jscd.mobile" or the viewport or screensize.

Thank you all for your help.

I'm afraid that i might need some step by step guidance in order to implement this in the survey.

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi, Daniel,
here is a working example.

If there are any questions about the equation, don't hesitate to ask.

My solution is done without javascript , with hidden (totally, not by css or javascript).

Done with PHP Server var :)

Hi,

simplest way:

A - decide which info is required

1.) create a new question (textarea)
2.) use the "Source" button in the Question editor
3.) copy and paste joffm's script (it gives you more information than mine) into the editor area
3) save the question an run it

You will see something like this:
Code:
 
OS: Windows 7
Browser: Chrome 66 (66.0.3359.170)
Mobile: false
Flash: no check
Cookies: true
Viewport width: 2691
Viewport heigth: 1612
Screen Size: 3072 x 1728
 
Full User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/66.0.3359.170 Safari/537.36

B - if necessary delete the lines not necessary. E.g. if you only need the mobile flag, reduce the part of the script (at the end)
Code:
...
...
 
$(document).ready(function() {  
 
    // Hide this question (remove double slash below to hide)
    //$('#question{QID}').hide();
 
    // Load the question
    $('#question{QID} textarea').val(
    'OS: ' + jscd.os +' '+ jscd.osVersion + '\n' +
    'Browser: ' + jscd.browser +' '+ jscd.browserMajorVersion +
      ' (' + jscd.browserVersion + ')\n' + 
    'Mobile: ' + jscd.mobile + '\n' +
    'Flash: ' + jscd.flashVersion + '\n' +
    'Cookies: ' + jscd.cookies + '\n' +
    'Viewport width: ' + jscd.vieww + '\n' +
    'Viewport heigth: ' + jscd.viewh + '\n' +
    'Screen Size: ' + jscd.screen + '\n\n' +
    'Full User Agent: ' + navigator.userAgent
    );
    });

to:
Code:
...
...
$(document).ready(function() {  
 
    // Hide this question (remove double slash below to hide)
    //$('#question{QID}').hide();
 
    // Load the question
    $('#question{QID} textarea').val(
 
    jscd.mobile;
    );
    });
