Hi, I'm attaching a sample exercise, with two multiple choice questions (Q1 and Q2). The idea is to filter Q2 in order to show only the options checked in Q1. But the tricky part is that Q2 must be shown as bootstrap buttons. Last year I could do it normally, but now the button alignment doesn't work well. It shows correctly the options checked in Q1 (that works fine), but instead of showing all options together, there are blank spaces in the area that the options not checked in Q1 would be (if they were checked). Here is an example:




I tryed with all the available options and couldn't find a way to correct this. Anybody can help?
Many thanks!

Hi, Gustavo,

which theme are you using?

Each of the standard themes (bootstrap, fruity, vanilla) show ALL buttons, but the filtered are disabled.
Therefore I think the spaces in your screenshot are disabled buttons, hidden by the theme.

Anyway, this behaviour (ALL buttons) is not the best.

Hi Joffm! I'm using an extension of the Vanilla theme, but also tried Fruity and and Bootswatch, and the result was the same.

One of the options available let you choose whether you want to hide or disable filtered buttons. My screenshot shows what happens if you choose to "hide".

I guess I'll have to go with the default layout instead (even though bootstrap looked better). The ideal solution for my particular need would have been a Array Numeric with checkbox layout, but I'm unable to filter columns, so I chose instead go with several rotated multiple choice questions.

Thanks anyway!

Hi,
you should file a bug report for this.
In my opinion this behaviour is not the one people expect.

For your array(numeric): Did you try the plugin "hideEmptyColumns"?

The plugin looks promising. I'll give it a try tomorrow. Many many thanks!
In any case, I'll report the bug.
Thanks again!

Hi, Gustavo,

here a working example with plugin "hideEmptyColumns".

That's great! But I'm a total noob. I'm not sure if I can install third party plugins with my subscription (LimeSurvey Pro Expert, without direct access to the server).

Did that, fingers crossed!
Many, many thanks
