Summary07011: It is not possible to randomize the order of groups even when a randomization groupname is set.
Description

I recently updated my limesurvey from 1.95 to 2.00+.
One of the new features of 2.00 is the possibility to randomize the order of question groups. I just tested it but it does not work.

It might be possible that I made a mistake but I am not sure about that.

I named the "randomization groupname" for every question group which should be randomized "random". When I test my survey its output is the sorted order not the randomized.

Menno, can you take a look at this one as soon as possible, please?

I attempted to export a survey structure that included group randomization to a .txt file, and found that no information regarding the group randomization was exported. Thought this might be related to the general randomization problem rather than representing a new bug. WILL DONATE IF RANDOMIZATION IS FIXED SOON!

This won't be an easy fix and will take some time to get it right. It seems to work for all-in-one mode not not in group by group mode

Did not look at export/import yet but this two patches should fix the group randomization problem.

Please test and report if you still have trouble. I tried with a simple survey using three groups that each had just one question to keep it simple. Because it is random sometimes the order can be the normal order. If you clear results and restart the survey you get a fresh randomization.

I think in my export (limesurvey_survey_543192.lss) there is info about randomization and it seems to me it is imported correct.

I do some test: with a group by group survey : i have empty group.

I try some patch in 2.1 for group ranbdomization, never find a good way.

But think we didn't need to unset session group list each time.

Can you have a look at this patch:
https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/commit/cb4487bc44c11ae7c1238c0a04b2f1783340879b

I don't iunset session group list if is already exist, just update if language is different.

Then it don't break actual group order.

@mokoe Just to make sure: did you use the updated files attached to this bug or your own unaltered installation?

Menno : Got it \o/

killsurveysession kill $SESSION['survey'.$surveyid]

but seems EM use:
$_SESSION['fieldmap-' . $surveyid . $SESSION['survey'.$surveyid]['s_lang']]

For the group order.

This $_SESSION['fieldmap-' . $surveyid . $SESSION['survey'.$surveyid]['s_lang']]
MUST be :

  • put in $SESSION['survey'.$surveyid]

But better : removed (think it's the same than:
$SESSION['survey'.$surveyid]['fieldnamesInfo'] )

In 2.1 : there are $SESSION['survey'.$surveyid]['question'] object.
Then a lot of change to do ....

Maybe for 2.0 we can test with killing
$_SESSION['fieldmap-' . $surveyid . $SESSION['survey'.$surveyid]['s_lang']] too

Menno:
Seems i have some:
PHP notice
Undefined offset: 0
at /application/helpers/SurveyRuntimeHelper.php
$g = $_SESSION[$LEMsessid]['grouplist'][$gseq];

Strangely, i have again some emty group now. Maybe with token (and no randomized group).

Empty group only with debug=2 (or 1 surely), but error not shown in survey. Hard to debug this one :).

Think you found the last problem :) Great job! I made sure the grouplist has index groupseq, so a number starting at 0 (the order).

Also found some places where for the elements of grouplist it was looking at [0][1][2] instead of ['gid']['group_name']['description']

It's allways a bad idea to use [0] [1] ...

Seems better now.

I review it after.

Think i use usort and function to sort group_list and not unset/reste his.
Same think for question object, surely the question object is harder to port.

Put http://bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?id=7295

Think this one can be closed, but a lot of code to copy/paste ;)

Fixed 07011: It is not possible to randomize the order of groups even when a randomization groupname is set

dev: ended up doing maybe a little more then needed but basically, the duplicate updatesessiongrouplist was removed since it messed up the order and em sometimes looks at the grouplist for ordering. Also the randmaster is saved to the right place so the fieldmap can pick up on it
