When bridging surveys there is the existing problem to show a correct progress bar.

A few parameter would allow an easy fix.

1.) Allow setting a Start Value (%) and an End Value (%).

Not sure if the next one could can be implemented easily:
2.) Calculation routine based on a) Questions shown or b) Question position

Any ideas to add?

mmm... try implement your self, I do it.
You have {NUMBEROFQUESTIONS} and {QUESTION_NUMBER}

percent_value = (100/{NUMBEROFQUESTIONS})*{QUESTION_NUMBER}

isn't it?

kindest regards

I cannot find this variable.

A good progressbar should be calculated based on
a) Amount of questions shown
and
b) Position of current displayed question/group inside the survey

Is the codebase ready to deliver these infos?

This keyword/variable exists but useless to count displayed question if the survey use conditions... The only way is to play around the relevance status ( {Qcode.relevanceStatus} )

I attach a sample survey with (plain text) survey progress. Looks pretty hard to adapt this to get a dynamic progress bar; I've tried some months ago... and no way
Maybe easier with a 100% javascript workaround...

Thanks. I have placed a feature request.

Dear team,

I have created a very large survey with several groups of questions (non-mandatory answers) and I would like to show to the participants a progress bar with real time information about how many questions has been answered from the total. The progress bar provided by Limesurvey only shows position on the survey and not real progress. I know there is a feature request for this function, but I would like to try a workaround. My idea is to implement a second progress bar trough the frontend, I mean only modifying the survey template. My function in javascript requires Total Number of Questions in the Survey and Total Number of Questions Answered. How can I called these variables from the template (e.g.: startpage.html).

Thanks in advance for your help.

These variables are not exposed to the templates.

Even simpler variables are not available. E.g. displaying the amount of groups on the welcome page. Only on the welcomepage! The coding is offered by a thirdparty as a pullrequest. But discussion is stucked and the code is getting old.
