Cannot use placeholder {TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_5} on question. was created by mfiora
Hello,
i need to use {TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_5} value in a question to condition answers. Any place holder, like {TOKEN:FIRSTNAME}, doesn't give back any value.
I'm on version 2.73.1+171220.

This is what i'm trying to do:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
 
   $(document).ready(function() {
 
     var gruppoPa = '{TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_5}'.substring(7, 5).toUpperCase();
 
gruppoa = gruppoa.substring(7,5).toUpperCase();
 
       $('select[id^="answer"] option').each(function(i){
 
           if($(this).attr('value') &amp;&amp; $(this).attr('value').substr(0, 2).toUpperCase() != gruppoa) {
               $(this).remove();
           }
       });
   });
 
   </script>

If this cannot be done how can i workaround it?

Thanks,

Hi,
what I saw is
Code:
gruppoa = gruppoa.substring(7,5).toUpperCase();
"gruppoa" is not defined.
Maybe there is a typo and all variables are "gruppoa".
Code:
var gruppoPa = '{TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_5}'.substring(7, 5).toUpperCase();
then gruppoPa is a 5 character string.

But then the next line which again tries to get a substring(7,5) out of a string which is only 5 characters long, will fail.

And in the rest of your script you use the not defined "gruppoa".

But without more knowledge what you are trying to do,...?
Can't you provide a sample of the problematic questions? *.lss

Best regards
Joffm

Hello Joffm and thanks for your reply,
in the rendered page i cannot see the value of {TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_5} so it's not a matter of typo. All i see is:
Code:
var gruppoa = '';

The script compares the first 2 letters in the answer code with 2 specific letters in the {TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_5}. If they are not the same the answer is removed from the list.

If i set the gruppoa value manually the script works great.
You can see attached a .lsq file renamed to txt.

Thank you very much.

Hi,
now in your *.lsq the script is different from the first one.

lsq:
Code:
$(document).ready(function() {
 
      var gruppoa = '{TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_5}';
      gruppoa = gruppoPa.substring(7,5).toUpperCase();

and

original:
Code:
$(document).ready(function() {
 
     var gruppoPa = '{TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_5}'.substring(7, 5).toUpperCase();
 
gruppoa = gruppoa.substring(7,5).toUpperCase();

But:
What is "gruppoPa" in your *.lsq script?

I'm sorry Joffm,
gruppoa and gruppoPa are the same variable. I deleted the P before posting here.
Beside that on the rendered page i see this:
Code:
<script>
 
   $(document).ready(function() {
 
      var gruppoa = "";
     gruppoa = gruppoa.split("_")[1];
     gruppoa = gruppoa.substr(0,2).toUpperCase();
 
       $('select[id^="answer"] option').each(function(i){
 
           if($(this).attr('value') &amp;&amp; $(this).attr('value').substr(0,2).toUpperCase() != gruppoa) {
               $(this).remove();
           }
       });
   });
 
   </script>

I know this is still different. I'm trying to change to see if it works. I really think the problem is the {TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_5} value not showing the "var gruppoa = " line.

Thank you very much. Your help is very appreciated.

Can you attach a small test survey in .lss format?

Hello tpartner,
i prepared the small test survey and then i tested it. It works there. :(
I mean, i can see the value of the {TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_5} on the HTML source.
I thought it could be template-related so i set the same template on the real survey and still works.
So i suppose it's a problem on the real survey, which is huge.
Anyone can help me with that?
Thanks,

Are you sure that the survey is non-anonymous?

Hello,
here's another clue: i copied the survey structure to another survey.
Without activating it i clicked on "Run survey with this participant" and it worked.
Then i activated the survey and it didn't work.
Again i deactivated the survey, imported participants, took the survey and it worked.

What can i check?

Thanks,

You should see opla_asti on the question. If you don't you have my same problem.

Hi, I created a participants table with the 5th attribute as "12345co89"

Activated the survey "not anonymous".

Then I get as "gruppoa" -> "CO"
and in the dropdown there are only the items with codes starting with "CO"


and a second with attribute "12345az89"





So it seems to work. I hope I understood correctly.

This seems to be really strange.

Hopefully Tony can investigate further.

All the best
Joffm
