Hi

I am creating a survey that will randomly attribute each participant to one of three groups. I managed to do that (randomizing in three groups). Two groups have to do a different practice, the third group is the control group. I want to attach the instruction for the practice for the two groups to the ransomized question. The instruction is a word document of pdf file that the participants can print (so they can use the print while doing the exercise) of save on their computer. Is it possible to attach a word document to a question. I can put a text up but don't see where I can attach a file.


Thank you
Ellen

Hi, Ellen,
unfortunately you did not mentin the LimeSurvey version you are using.
But as the newer versions (2.50 and up) are based on the bootstrap library you can enter a button like this

Hello Joffm

Thank you for your reply. The Open University Amsterdam (my university) uses the following version:

Versie 2.06+ Build 160129

probably an older version than you mention. Are there any possibilities in this version?

grtz Ellen

Oh,
in this case you cannot use the bootstrap buttons, but a "usual" button like
and you may style it as you like

Versie 2.06+ Build 160129

Just a little hint: Your version of Limesurvey is from 4.5 years ago. It hasn't received updates and bug fixes since then.

I would recommend to do an upgrade to 3.x LTS (do not go to 4.x yet...).

thx for the answers.
It is difficult for me to understand the actions I have to take, am not very familiair with the language used, don´t have advanced computerskills.

I made a printscreen of the question to which want to attach my file (word of pdf file'. Is there a a button (like with email where you can attach a word or pdf file?)

That's a very old version but I think if you click on the "image" button in the top row, you should be able to upload the file. Once that is done, you can create a link to it.

Hi,

as written in the manual
www.limesurvey.org/manual/Workarounds:_M...tc..29_in_LimeSurvey
javascript, css or plain HTML are entered in source code mode.

So click on the button "Code" and enter what is in the boxes in my post.

I don't konw where you stored your file.You have to adapt the reference.
This may be somewhere on your server, or you can upload it to the LimeSurvey installation.
And as @tpartner already wrote, best to click on "image" to open the wizard. Here you can upload and get the link to your file.

Really easy comparing to 4.X

Click on the link maker

very happy with that.

thank you so much for your answers.
Volunteers are priceless for sure!

thanks for your answer, it works!

thank you so much

Hello again
I managed to tackle my problem (via the link maker), it seems to work. But when I test the survey it gives this error and the link doesn't work. what can the problem be?

this is the error:
404 Not found.
Unable to resolve the request "upload/surveys/571666/files/Oefening dankbaarheid (u).docx".
The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

Hi, Ellen,
when I use this link maker I get something like this: You see the link starts with my installation folder.

And: It is not the best idea to open a docx-file.
Usually the respondent will see the "file open/save" dialog and has to start Word to see the file content.
Better you save the file as pdf.
