| Product Version | 1.91RC2 | ||||||||
| Target Version | 1.91RC4 | Fixed in Version | |||||||
| Summary | 04911: "Always hide this question" doesn't produce any html at all (should produce input html code, but with display:none) | ||||||||
| Description | Advanced Question Option->Display->Always hide this question does not work properly. I was told this was a problem when combined with question conditionals (see forum post #55894, and #47197) The description of "Always hide this question" says "This is useful for including data using answer prefilling", but when running the survey, the question that has AlwaysHide set to True will not be displayed at all (ie: not even html code with display:none as the css), so no information is then stored in the DB (you can't auto-fill). | ||||||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Create a new test survey, create a new question group, create a new test question 1, create a new test question 2, set the "Always hide this question" option to "Yes" for test question 1, preview the survey, view the source: only the html for test question 2 is displayed. | ||||||||
| I will donate to the project if issue is resolved within 48 hrs | No | ||||||||

Note for me: * see patch version 7705 applied by c_schmitz on the 2009-10-02 "Added feature #3555: Question attribute to hide a question - patch by flohack" In line 407: // Should we really skip the question here, maybe the result won't be stored if we do that Seems that the patch was just not complete. |

With svn version, you can use this option to hide completely some question and use it in SGQA after. Try: http://limesurvey.sondages.pro/index.php?sid=59534&59534X16X350=TEST [^] http://limesurvey.sondages.pro/index.php?sid=59534&59534X16X350=Bloubiboulga [^] I upload lss for this test. For me there is no bug here. You can use condition too if you put the hidden question before the question with condition (lss updated) |

@Shnoulle, This feature is not only in SVN, but in RC3 as well and it's buggy ;-), at least for group by group surveys. Can you test and post a test survey ? Thibault |

Yeap, And it's OK in 1.90 too and work like a charm. Sorry it's OK only for question by question, not in group by group and All in one. QbQ : http://limesurvey.sondages.pro/index.php?sid=59534&59534X17X350=TEST [^] : OK GbyG: http://limesurvey.sondages.pro/index.php?sid=39466&39466X19X353=TEST [^] : OK I have to had a question in first group to have the functionnality. All in one are bad, we have to use javascript condition only if SGQA are shown: it's the test to do i think. |
|
(14006) lemeur (administrator) 2011-01-31 15:48 |
@Shnoulle, I don't understand, you say "not in group by group", but you report a working group-by-group link ? Or is it because you absolutely need to be sure that first group is displayed to get the feature working ? [QUOTE]All in one ar bad[/QUOTE] Lol, how can you say this... this is a mode used by most of our users... The fact is that the "always hide" feature was partly implemented, and thus shouldn't have been applied to the trunk untill all aspects of the developpement have been properly done. |

[QUOTE]I don't understand, you say "not in group by group", but you report a working group-by-group link ?[/QUOTE] I add a question to the group with the hidden question, and it's work. But i think the bug are for another think. [QUOTE][QUOTE]All in one ar bad[/QUOTE] Lol, how can you say this... this is a mode used by most of our users...[/QUOTE] A lot of user use question by question ;). And to complete the bug report : * Conditionnal question with an hidden question don't work if this hidden question are on the same page. javascript issue, not php. :) |

[QUOTE]Conditionnal question with an hidden question don't work if this hidden question are on the same page.[/QUOTE] Hum this is another issue. Can you open a new ticket for this one and attach a test survey (and assign it to me), please ? Thibault |

[QUOTE]Hum this is another issue.[/QUOTE] I'm not agree: database are filled by $_GET[$field] like espected. We can't manipulate hidden question like espected. If this issue are resolved then the "Conditionnal question with an hidden question don't work if this hidden question are on the same page" are resolved too :) And if you put a display:none to hidden question, then you can't manipulate this too. Maybe we have to have 2 hidden type question: Hidden Not really show (shown in HTML , but hide with CSS). :) |

Sorry for otehrs, but I prefer to switch in French for now, and will make a summary later. Shnoulle, pourquoi dis-tu qu'il s'agit du même problème ? Peux-tu préciser le pb? Peux-tu poster un questionnaire .lss et des étapes à suivre pour mettre en évidence le bug ? |
 (14011)Mazi (developer) 2011-01-31 16:22 |
Let me add my 2 cents since the current behavior of this feature irritates many users and it has been discussed at the forum a lot: When hiding the question using the question attribute, the question's HTML should be created for the survey page but then be hidden using the according question ID and the "hide()" statement. This way we can easily populte this question AND still use the populated question for conditions. |
 (14021)timbee (reporter) 2011-01-31 19:53 |
Mazi, that was my understanding of the functionality also. Can anyone imagine a scenario where we don't even want to display the html? That's almost the same thing as disabling/deactivating the question it seems. maybe it should be. |

[quote] Can anyone imagine a scenario where we don't even want to display the html? That's almost the same thing as disabling/deactivating the question it seems. maybe it should be. [/quote] fill the first question with a code of another database, for example a client number after buying some product. :) |

[quote] fill the first question with a code of another database, for example a client number after buying some product. [/quote] but in the case of Not displaying the question, it does Not even display the HTML, so nothing will be saved in the database, because there is no form input for it to get data from. This is what I originally wanted to use this feature for too: I had some javascript that would simply populate a hidden text input box with the timestamp. But because the question was marked as "Always hide this question", it did not display the text input in the html *source*, and so nothing was saved to the DB. I tested with 1.91RC2(9672) |
|
(14033) DenisChenu (developer) 2011-02-01 17:58 |
@ timbee : With 1.90 and with 1.91RC3 : it work (with ative survey): the session was filled with all the database column name, and if there are a get survey with the SGQA, then database is filled with the good information. For the 2 link testing , i have a lot of TEST ans some Gloubilga :). I use a text short question to get the information. |
|
(14034) timbee (reporter) 2011-02-01 18:23 |
@shnoulle I'll test with 1.91RC3 and see what happens, thanks for the feedback |
|
(14035) timbee (reporter) 2011-02-02 00:07 |
Okay, I installed Version 1.91RC3 Build 9715, and still no luck. Here's what I did after installation: +create a new survey +create a new question group +create four questions of type "short free text": - q1 mandatory:no, always_hide:no - q2 mandatory:no, always_hide:yes - q3 mandatory:yes, always_hide:no - q4 mandatory:yes, always_hide:yes + Activated the survey + Executed the survey HTML RESULTS: +Viewing the survey in the normal browser view, only q1 and q3 are displayed, with q3 having the mandatory red asterix. +Viewing the surveys html source code, again, only q1 and q3 are displayed. q2 and q4 are nowhere to be seen. DATABASE RESULTS (mysql): +If I fill out both displayed input fields, their data will get stored in the DB of course, but the two questions that are not displayed will get stored as NULL +If I fill out only the mandatory question (q3) and leave q1 blank, in the DB q1 will be "" <--- without the quotes, just an empty cell, but Not null. SURVEY: You can import the survey that I used by saving the following url as a .lss file: http://sharetext.org/D4H/p [^] FOLLOW UP: @Shnoulle I can see the links you provided above are for the live surveys, but can you provide a link to the actual survey file, so I can import it into my system to test? |
|
(14172) lemeur (administrator) 2011-02-12 10:29 |
@shnoulle, I can reproduce the pb with the http://sharetext.org/D4H/p [^] survey and very latest development tree (rev 9781). |
 (14402)c_schmitz (administrator) 2011-03-11 13:20 edited on: 2011-03-11 13:24 |
The option 'Always hide this question' is designed to work that way that no output is generated. I agree that for someone who wants to manipulate a value by JS this is inconvenient. On the other had a simple CSS statement will hide a complete question too, if needed. So the option 'Always hide this question' is currently only intended onyl to be used if you want to prefill fields _by URL_. I agree also that it should be extended later so it can be switched to two settings (one to completely leave it out right now and one to hide only) which might be less confusing. So, unless you say that prefilling by URL is not possible anymore, there is no bug here. |
|
(14418) Mazi (developer) 2011-03-12 13:01 |
I think we should improve this at 1.91 if possible because there are really lots of problems and questions when using this feature and when not displaying the HTML at all, it is nearly useless for most users. |
|
(14504) c_schmitz (administrator) 2011-03-21 23:10 |
Sure, but anyway, it is no bug. |
