Array dual scale with question in the middle!!!

Array dual scale with question in the middle!!! was created by jimmyrazor
Hi community,

I have to implement a lime survey version of an existing paper and pencil questionnaire. In this questionnaire we have a couple of items that have to be answered on two scales.

The question type "Array dual scale" seems to be appropriate for this issue, but the standard layout is Item - Scale A - Scale B.

It is important for us to use the layout we have in the paper and pencil version, and that ist Scale A - Item - Scale B (see attached scheme).

I'm sure, this is possible in LimeSurvey. Does anyone have a solution for us?

What version of LimeSurvey is used? Workarounds depend on the version.

Never seen using two separators. Was that introduced in LS3?

Is this described anywhere in the manual? I have never seen this before either!
Help us to help you!
  • Provide your LS version and where it is installed (own server, uni/employer, SaaS hosting, etc.).
  • Always provide a LSS file (not LSQ or LSG).

It's completely broken in 3.x:

- adding unnecessary HTML elements
- not handling widths





Here is a working JavaScript solution. Add this to the source of the question:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> $(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){ // Identify this question var thisQuestion = $('#question{QID}'); // Calculate widths var tableWidth = $('table.subquestion-list:eq(0)', thisQuestion).width(); var sqWidth = $('.col-answers:eq(0)', thisQuestion).width(); var sqPercent = (sqWidth/tableWidth)*100; var answersCount = $('.col-responses col', thisQuestion).length; var answersWidth = (tableWidth-sqWidth)/answersCount; var answersPercent = (answersWidth/tableWidth)*100; // Move table elements and remove unnecessary elements $('col.separator:eq(0)', thisQuestion).parent().after($('col.col-answers:eq(0)', thisQuestion).parent()).remove(); $('thead tr.ls-heading.groups td.header_separator:eq(0)', thisQuestion).after($('thead tr.ls-heading.groups th:eq(0)', thisQuestion)).remove(); $('thead tr.ls-heading:last td.header_separator:eq(0)', thisQuestion).after($('thead tr.ls-heading:last td:eq(0)', thisQuestion)).remove(); $('tr.answers-list', thisQuestion).each(function(i) { $('.dual_scale_separator:eq(0)', this).after($('th.answertext', this)).remove(); }); // Assign new widths $('.col-answers', thisQuestion).css('width', sqPercent+'%'); $('.col-responses col', thisQuestion).css('width', answersPercent+'%'); }); </script>

Please : report issue

- adding unnecessary HTML elements

What unnecessary element ? remind we need to show it too with sub-question|middle|right on phone (reason of ls-label-xs-visibility) and need accessibility.

tpartner wrote: - not handling widths

Yes : right, except with 3 input for "subquestion" part width : i don't see how to set this.

Else : i don't know what width you use for screenshot …

Without update i have



And with this script :
Code:
<script>$(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){ $("#question{QID} col.col-answers").width("0"); $("#question{QID} col.separator:not(.right_separator)").width("30%"); $("#question{QID} col.separator.right_separator").width("0"); }); </script>

The OP simply wanted the subquestion text in the middle. There was no mention of left/right text. I simply used your example for sub-questions using current vanilla theme, screen width ~1028px and you can see the results in my first screenshot.

Yep, the 33% automatic width is to wide if there are middle and right … and this make a total width of 66% for all parts …

When user set "subquestion width" : it's the subquestion width part
If it not set : i prefer to keep 33% see discussion here : bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?id=11726
