Designing Issue was created by Mastelew

Dear Limesurvey Community;
Greeting all;
I have faced trouble on the following issues that I need your cooperation.

I want to distribute 200 resumes developed as question on limesurvey to respondents. However, each respondent are required to see only 8 resumes that are allocated to them randomly. I have attached the code I try to use but not working as expected.

With regards

Hi! No need to post twice. If this is your first post in the forum, it needs to be approved by a moderator first before it shows up in the forum. We got a lot os spam lately.

As your title is "Designing issues" and this forum is called "Design issues", while the other one you posted is called "Installation & update issues" I will approve this one and delete the other one.

I answer at the LimeSurvey forum in my spare time, I'm not a LimeSurvey GmbH employee.

What you sent is not a lss Export, but a small text file that you renamed to "*.lss". To confuse us?
Please, send the lss export.

Please, neither lsq nor lsg exports, only lss.

Reason:
lsq and lsg exports are language sensitive.
You can only import into a survey with the same base language.
So, to import your question or group we have to guess the base language, create a survey (create a group) to be able to import the export.

A lss export you just import.
Furthermore a lss export contains all survey wide settings that may be of importance.
So please, ease our life.

Hi,
this is all?
Select and display 8 out of these questions?

You may use the "standard" procedure

Create two groups
Set the second group to "hidden ("condition: 0" on group level)
Insert 8 questions into the first group
Insert the rest into the second group.
ALL questions get the same "randomization group name"

Thank you so much!!

This is not all the questions. Yes I want to randomly assign 8 to respondents.The total number of questions is 200. Just I deleted the remaining because there is restriction on the size of file to be uploaded. Since it is my first to use javascript, would you indicate me with some working sample of it.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi,

Since it is my first to use javascript,

I did not talk about javascript.
In your sample survey there was no script, and no script is needed.

Your sample is fine.
Here the structure

And G2 is hidden by condition. Just add the other 150 questions here.

You only have to enter the same "Randomization group name" to ALL questions (200).

File Attachment:

File Name: limesurvey...96_J.lss
File Size:799 KB

And I will not do this.

Of course you can consider a different approach.
If you insist in using javascript.
Use the previous scrip. This only selects 8 numbers out of 200.

Again all questions get the same randomization group name.
And you display the 8 questions by condition
Let's call the question of type "short text" where you inserted the script and got the string with the 8 selected numbers Q1.
The condition of the first question is: strpos(Q1,'-1-')>0
The condition of the second question is: strpos(Q1,'-2-')>0
The condition of the third question is: strpos(Q1,'-3-')>0
...
The condition of the 100. question is: strpos(Q1,'-100-')>0
...
The condition of the 200. question is: strpos(Q1,'-200-')>0

You CAN do that, but it is more unnecessary work.

And you can consider a third approach.
Again select the eight numbers by javascript, well the structure should be a bit different.
Store these 8 numbers in a question of type "multiple short text" with eight subquestions.
Like this.

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
function shuffle(array) {
    var currentIndex = array.length, temporaryValue, randomIndex;
    // While there remain elements to shuffle...
    while (0 !== currentIndex) {
        // Pick a remaining element...
        randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * currentIndex);
        currentIndex -= 1;
        // And swap it with the current element.
        temporaryValue = array[currentIndex];
        array[currentIndex] = array[randomIndex];
        array[randomIndex] = temporaryValue;
    }
    return array;
}
$(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){
 
    // Fill the array, hier Zahlen von 1 - 200
    var arr = [];
    for (var i = 1; i < 201; i++) {
        arr.push(i);
    }
 
    arr = shuffle(arr);
    $('#question{QID} input[type="text"]:eq(0)').val(arr[0]);
    $('#question{QID} input[type="text"]:eq(1)').val(arr[1]);
    $('#question{QID} input[type="text"]:eq(2)').val(arr[2]);
    $('#question{QID} input[type="text"]:eq(3)').val(arr[3]);
    $('#question{QID} input[type="text"]:eq(4)').val(arr[4]);
    $('#question{QID} input[type="text"]:eq(5)').val(arr[5]);
    $('#question{QID} input[type="text"]:eq(6)').val(arr[6]);
    $('#question{QID} input[type="text"]:eq(7)').val(arr[7]);
    $('#question{QID}').hide();
});
</script>

In a question of type "huge text" you store all 200 definitions of the applicants like this

Now with the string functions "strpos()", and "substr()" you find the row and can insert the right text into the question.
This way you only need 8 questions insted of 200.

Thank you so much. I got a lot of perspective and input from you. I tried as per your direction, but it does not work both the randomisation and quota set.
For more information my question rests on the following picture taken from your response. Does all the question begin with Q1 or It should change accordingly like q2, q3, q4,,,,qn, which is replaced by Question ID or code. And how G2 (group 2) is hidden by condition?

with regards.

And here another approach, based on my third solution.
You need only ONE single question.

Tomorrow I'll send the lss.
