04197: Limesurvey shows question group frame when not suppose to

Thu, 11 Mar 2010 22:19:53 +0100

I've got questions that are conditional. Lime seems to understand when to show them and when not to. But when the question don't have to be showed, the question group frame still shows.

04196: Problem when having umlauts in label set code

Thu, 11 Mar 2010 17:33:59 +0100

It is allowed to enter umlauts (ä,ö,ü) at the code field of a label set. This may cause problems under certain circumstances. It works fine when having a code like "häpy". But when having a code like häpPy this doesn't work. I guess this is caused by the field length. You are allowed to enter 5 characters but an umlaut seems to be encoded which needs an additional character so "häpPy" will need 6 characters. When trying to add such a code the entry isn't saved, nothing happens.

04194: Possible syntax issues with Postrgres schema build-out?

Thu, 11 Mar 2010 12:28:45 +0100

Having issues building schema in Postgres 8.4.1 via GUI install path. In debug mode, getting a number of syntax errors on creating boolean data types with sizes (e.g. BOOLEAN(1) instead of BOOLEAN). Not sure if this can be circumvented with a compatibility switch on the PostgreSQL side, but install cannot proceed.

04191: Error on Submit Survey

Thu, 11 Mar 2010 00:49:57 +0100

After completing a survey and "submitting" the results I get an error message stating

"
The requested URL could not be retrieved

While trying to retrieve the URL: survey.mywebsite.co.uk/index.php

The following error was encountered:

04190: sSendEmail does not respond to validfrom / validuntil in token

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 17:53:25 +0100

I noticed the send email function does not respond to the newly created validfrom/validuntil functions.

04189: Response Statistics - Date and number fields filters not working

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 22:42:36 +0100

When I go to "Browse Responses for this survey" and select "Get statistics for these responses" I am not able to filter on fields that are of "Numerical input", "Array (Multi Flexible) (Numbers)" or "date" type.

When I configure a filter on such answer field it returns ALL responses as result.

04188: Edit Response - Data Entry - Not working

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 10:43:00 +0100

Here is my situation:
- Respondents make errors in their responses.
- I go to edit the response -> Data enty
- I have 2 optional questions - type "Date" and type "Array (Multi Flexible) (Numbers)" (attached for reference)
- When I edit the response and save the above 2 questions if not answered get automatically filled with data and break the integrity of the answers
- The "Date" type question gets a 1999 as an year - well outside of the range defined in the question options. Also the question doesn't appear as as date dropdowns as defined in the question advanced settings.
- The "Array (Multi Flexible) (Numbers)" fields get automatically filled with the "minimum value" as defined in the question advanced settings. The worst thing is that there is no way to manully change the answer back to NULL.
- Therefore every response edit results in wrong data being entered - which makes this feature unusable for me.

04186: Native MS SQL Server Support

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 11:10:27 +0100

Currently LimeSurvey 1.x only supports the community mssql driver for php, (via
ADOdb).

Our team has created an ADODB driver package that uses the Native SQL
Server driver for PHP which was recently released by Microsoft (currently
in v1.1).

More information regarding the Native SQL Server driver for PHP can be
found here:

http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2005/en/us/PHP-Driver.aspx [^]

I've attached a patch file that adds Native SQL Server support to LimeSurvey 1.x, (diffed against SVN head), to this request and would like to work with the
developers/maintainers in order to have this package officially supported.

04185: pdf print slovac character does not work

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 10:50:02 +0100

Dear team, dear programmers, I installed limesurvey version 1.87RC4 and Version 1.87+ (8429) and I try to export statistic to pdf and i have problem with slovac character."?,?, š, ?, ?..". Program does not convert slovac "CE" character.
In export in html is ok, but pdf is wrong. :(

config-defaults.php is default:

$usepdfexport = 0; //Set 0 to disable; 1 to enable
$pdfdefaultfont = 'freemono'; //Default font for the pdf Export
$pdffontsize = 9; //Fontsize for normal text; Surveytitle is +4; grouptitle is +2
$notsupportlanguages = array('zh-Hant-TW','zh-Hant-HK','zh-Hans','ja','th');
$pdforientation = 'P'; // Set L for Landscape or P for portrait format

Can I change font freemono for another for central europe fonts?

Could you help me please, thank you very much.Best regards
Andrea

04180: Add group to a survey

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 21:39:41 +0100

I have a group of two users. I tried to add this group to a survey, I got result page with "blank" message and no user got added. If I manually added one user in this group, and try to add group, the other user was added successfully.

04176: Array filter does not know how to handle 'other' field

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 22:20:05 +0100

The question attribute array_filter does not know how to handle the 'other' field from a multiple option question. Because of different form field name for the checkbox the java never evaluates to 'Y'.

P.S. Because 'other' is a reserved keyword I had to insert the answer code manually into the database. In the attached export it is present.

04175: Additional dateformats not visible in survey settings

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 22:57:07 +0100

Some dateformats such as (mm/dd/yy) not available in the Admin > Survey > Edit Survey Settings > Dateformat.

04164: tab/keyboard navigation issues with a number of questions

Thu, 11 Mar 2010 20:28:06 +0100

There are a number of questions with keyboard navigation issues caused by JavaScript:

1) Multiple Numerical Input (slider layout)
This question type is invisible to keyboard navigation. If this question type is in a survey and is required the relies on keyboard navigation, the participant will never be able to complete the survey.
This question type also needs to be able to use arrow keys to control values and/or number input.

2) Type R - Ranking Question
This question type is a Keyboard navigation dead end. You can now navigate to this type of question using the keyboard but cannot go beyond it.
Also it is impossible to select any of the items to rank.

3) Type M - Multiple Options Question
If "Other" is available it is automatically checked when tabbing out of question. This in effect makes "Mandatory". i.e. Someone completing the survey is forced to put text into the "Other" text box to continue with the survey. "Other" should only be checked if the "Other" text box is NOT empty.

4) Type D - Date question?
Popup javascript calendar cannot be used with keyboard navigation.

5) Type P - Multiple Options Question with Comments
Using keyboard/tab navigation each option is automatically checked as you tab through. This means that participants using keyboard navigation are forced to check all options except "Other". There should be no automatic checking of options for this question type.

04161: Directory Permissions in Installation in Step 2

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 10:43:54 +0100

Even after changing the permission of /app/tmp dir to 777 under Directory Permissions, I still get the message Not-writable and hence I am unable to proceed any further with the installation.

04160: Yes or no questions are doubled

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 22:15:46 +0100

In my survey, I have one Yes or No question for three answers.
I also have two languages. (Arabic and English)
In the data entry screen, I see six lines for the three questions as each question is listed in the two languages. Each line of the six lines has a drop down menu to choose Yes, Uncertain, and No.
The Arabic answers are the ones recorded in the database though.

04158: Wrong header when exporting results of a dual scale question

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 10:57:57 +0100

When exporting results of a dual scale question the header which should contain the question code contains much more (useless) information:
"dualscale [Friends][1-en_dualscale_current] [Friends][1-en_dualscale_current-en_dualscale_current] [Friends][1-en_dualscale_current-en_dualscale_current-en_dualscale_current]"

second scale:
"dualscale [Health][1-en_dualscale_current] [Health][1-en_dualscale_current-en_dualscale_current] [Health][1-en_dualscale_current-en_dualscale_current-en_dualscale_current]"

04157: Exporting results fails at dual scale question when using MS SQL Server

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:17:32 +0100

I tried to export results of a survey to Excel but it failed with an SQL error. I could track down the error to the dual scale question type. The error message is found inside the XLS document and says:
"[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Die 'lime_answers.qid'-Spalte ist in der Auswahlliste ungültig, da sie nicht in einer Aggregatfunktion und nicht in der GROUP BY-Klausel enthalten ist.:select a.*, l.*, l.code as lcode, l.title as ltitle from lime_answers as a, lime_labels as l where qid=1155 AND l.lid =70 AND a.language='en' AND l.code = ? group by l.lid"

04155: Question Code is missing at Template Preview

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 22:18:09 +0100

==> see attached screenshot
==> the {QUESTION_CODE}-tag is available at question.pstpl - at least for the templates bluengrey and business_grey, but the question code is missing in the template preview ==> only the ":" gets displayed

04152: Installer problem with creating database.php

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 15:17:49 +0100

Installer writes the database.php file in step 2.
But the above step is completely unneccessary because it is creating the file in step 5. Therefore, after discussion with macduy, i am submitting the below patch to make it possible to re-install if they didn't reach step 5

04143: Multi-page surveys are not able to be finished (results are lost) when activated using LSRC sActivateSurvey call.

Mon, 22 Feb 2010 17:22:01 +0100

When running Lime 1.87+ from revision 8408 in the stable branch any multi-page survey (and perhaps any survey at all) that is activated using the Lime Survey Remote Control will bomb when clicking on the "Next" button.

The problem looks to be a missing column in the survey table that is set up. I'll submit a patch that looks like it updates the lsrc.helper.php to work properly.

04142: Reminder email "from" field isn't set properly

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 21:40:26 +0100

When sending email reminders the from field is set to root@[domain] rather than the survey administrator. The invite email from field works fine. The problem appears to be line 508 and I'll submit a patch.

The code I'm running is direct from the stable Lime branch and is labeled 1.87+

04124: Insufficent documentation of spss scaletypes

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 21:56:42 +0100

Need more information on the available scaletypes. What do the different types exactly mean and what is default? Is scale compareable to "interval scale" as seen in statistics?

Thanks in advance.

04101: Installer looks for the wrong htaccess file on Linux

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 10:43:03 +0100

When the installer looks for htaccess files on Linux it misses a '.' in one of the filenames. See the additional information for an easy fix.

04083: Missing icons

Sat, 20 Feb 2010 07:42:56 +0100

The first time I installed LS2 (MGH subversion), I selected the fancy URL as an option, and the icons for the admin dashboard were missing. Not that icons on other pages seems to be there.

The reason is because the URL to the image seems to be relative instead of absolute:

i.e. path for image:
app/webroot/css/panel/limesurvey/images/surveydashboard.png
instead of http://www.xxx.org/.../surveydashboard.png [^]

When I reinstalled it without selecting "fancy URL", the icons appear to be fine.

PS: I'm using XAMPP with PHP 5.3 on Red Hat Enteprise Linux 5
