Hi,

I'm trying to set a conditional end message, where based on earlier questions I define what to display in end message.

I followed a previous recommandation from Denis :
- Defined a text question (Positive), hidden, with content I want displayed (contains img and script)
- I define for that text question conditions (e.g. question 3 to yes)
- I put in end message {Positive}

If I don't hide my Positive text question, this one appears properly when the condition is met.
But when I hide it and get to the end of the survey, I don't have Positive displayed.

Is there a restriction on what kind of content can be visible in the end message?

Thanks,
Julien

Hi,
try to hide your question using javascript rather than advanced setting (set always visible).

Please paste this snippet in the help textarea for this question

[strike]You don't actually need to hide the question. If you use the correct condition or relevance equation (better!) the question only appears if a certain condition is met. If you hide the question via the system it will NEVER be shown, no matter what the condition says.[/strike]
Sorry, I didn't think this through. The hiding is necessary because of the usage in the end message.

Thanks for your suggestions.

I tried setting the question visible and put the js in the help. It doesn't hide the question.
In any case, I still don't see the question text in my end message.

I did a basic testing with
In the end Message I have
Test is not displayed in the End Message.
It must be the way I'm calling the question text that is not correct.
Is {Test} not the way to do it?

Please attach a small survey with the relevant parts.

Here is an export of the relevant part

Is that still working under LS 3.0?

What version of LimeSurvey is used?

You can hide the question via CSS.



BTW:The English End message html code is a bit broken. Javascript and DIVs.


Can you point me to the workaround Denis showed you?
To me it looks like LS 3.X has a bug. The editor is showing the piping, but the end-message is not containing the variable content.


Under LS 3.2.1. I cannot get the endmessage in preview, only when I activate the survey. Strange.

I'm using Version 3.0.3+180112

Here is what Denis explained me by email once :

Le plus simple étant directement d'ajouter 2 questions de type texte + 1 question Équation.:
TEXTEoui: le texte pour oui
TEXTEnon: le texte pour non
EQUATION: {if(QCODE=="OUI",TEXTEoui.question,TEXTEnon.question)}

Message de fin : {EQUATION}

And why didn't you follow his instruction? I cannot see any equation question in your survey.
You directly piped a textdisplay question. Any reason why?

The question Positive has conditions.
But since I couldn't get it displayed in the end message, I tried adding a Test question without conditions to check if the issue was from the conditions.

Isn't it possible to directly pipe a Text Display question?

Thanks all for looking into my problem.

Finally I found what the issue was.
It wasn't due to the question type, just the way I was calling it in the end message.

If someone faces the same issue one day, don't write {Positive} but {Positive.question}

There are a lot of things which should be working, but aren't.

First issue: There seems to be a bug, that you cannot get a endmessage in preview.
So you need to activate the survey to see a endmessage.

Second issue: Hiding the question is not working via the javascript in the helptext.
Use CSS class hidden as shown in the screenshot

Third issue: Piping seems not to work as intended.
Change type of question "Positive" to equation. Just change and save. No need to edit question content itself.

Fourth issue:
Piping seems to work with equation type, but it not transporting everything (embedded javascripts seem to be stripped, haven't investigated)



Is there a reason, why Denis isn't suggesting Expression Manager in the endmessage?
Perhaps there is a issue too, bug when trying to show different content depending on answers my first idea would be using Expression manager in the endmessage.

I have submitted bug reports, but that won't help you now.

Thanks for reporting those issues Jelo.

I managed displaying an end message with media and js from a "text display" question but the condition was not followed. So it was displayed in all cases.

I changed the solution by using an "equation" question to analyze the condition.
I got it to work properly to display a basic True/False text.
So I can test if media and js work too, how would you call in place of "true" a text display content in the following expression?

You are right.
I found the way to pipe the content I wanted but all html code and script got stripped out.
So I'm stuck at this stage.

How would you go with using EM in the End Message?

Thanks
