I find it rather odd the progress bar always starts at position 0% in the first question. If I have 10 questions in a survey I believe it should be 10% on the first question, and 100% at the last, not 0% on the first and 90% on the last.

Is there any place I could change this behaviour, or am I the only person finding this a little odd?

You could add a little Javascript to the Questiontext or Grouptext.

That way the progressbar is set to 10.

I would like to see a way to see an option tab for the progress bar.

Postion: Top / Bottom

Beginning Value: e.g 10%
Ending Value: e.g 80%

Calulation of Value via different algorithms:
a) Position of currently displayed question
b) Questions already seen

Code:

<script>
  $(document).ready(function() {
    $("#progressbar").progressbar({ value: 10 });
  });
  </script>

Thanks! I will test this. I think I found another solution, changing the line
$percentcomplete = makegraph($_SESSION[$LEMsessid]+1, $_SESSION[$LEMsessid]);

I added "+1" after the step parameter. The file I altered is application/helpers/SurveyRuntimeHelper.php (line 898) in build 141229.

Some wrong pasting in the code line abow. Here is the correct code:
$percentcomplete = makegraph($_SESSION[$LEMsessid]+1, $_SESSION[$LEMsessid]);

Since I update LS often, I try to keep my hand off the php code. But a good alternative. Perhaps a plugin is the way to go.

progressbar jquery function can be replaced in template.js

github.com/Shnoulle/skeletonquest/blob/master/template.js#L334

But we must use a function more easily replaced in template.js. Maybe you can put a feature request.

Thanks Denis! I will sum up both requests mentioned here and make them a feature request.

I think we just need:

makegraph; call a javascript function. Default function do :

in surveyruntime js.

Thanks Denis! Can you guide me a little here as I'm not sure where to find the file surveyhelper.js Is the function just to be added at the bottom of this file? And if I run an update it will be replaced again?

Well, I guess this has also to do with "philosophy".

There are two ways to see it:
- When you see the first question, you actually haven't made any progress yet, thus it starts with 0%. When you pass to the next question, you actually made some progress and the % go up.

Or the way you see it. All in all, I wouldn't give too much weight to the progress bar. It is just for people knowing, more or less, how much is left. If it starts with 0% or with 10% wouldn't worry me too much.

Yeah, not I big deal really, but it is quite strange to be at the last page (group-by group), the graph shows e.g. 80% and as soon as you hit next it is in fact completed. It makes more sense if if starts at a higher level than 0% at the first question.

I answer a lot of surveys during a month (not LimeSurvey) and I think most if not all starts at a higher level than 0, which makes much more sense to me
