Summary	13955: Add sub-question headings on simple statistics graphs
Description	Simple statistics would be much more useful if the graphs showing sub-question data had headings that matched the sub-question - not just the parent question heading that is currently shown. More detail: In ‘simple statistics’ when viewing results for a sub-question, the graph heading show the parent question’s text when questions are arrays - even when the subquestions have their own texts. So all the subquestion graphs will show the same (parent) heading – and the user can’t easily tell which subquestion they are for. Its confusing. Also if a sub-question’s parent does not have any text (ie it only has a title) then there is no heading shown for all sub-question graphs – so no indication of what the graph data is. I've read that the devs are reluctant to patch the statistics code as it needs a re-write, but this could be fixed very easily with minimal coding - see additional info below. there are there are two screenshots attached of a simple survey: first with current code (LS 3.14.3+180809), second with this suggested patch
Additional Information	following code in '/application/helpers/admin/statistics_helper.php': /// --------------- // insert at Line 1160- - before 'switch ($qtype){' $parent_title = $qtitle;// save this as may use later for sub-question graph headings. // insert before the return of buildOutputList(), line 1460 if (isset($atext ) && $atext){ // if there is subquestion text $qquestion = rtrim($qquestion, $linefeed); // trim off the linefeed. (better if linefeed was added last, and not in switch conditions) // shows parent-q text: sub-q text. or use parent title if need: $qquestion .= ((trim($qquestion=='')) ? ucfirst($parent_title) : null) . ": " . $atext . $linefeed; } /// --------------------------

markusd1984 2019-07-17 16:44 reporter ~52916	great thanks, that worked a treat! Should be built into the new versions if it's not already. Now an aggregated stacked bar chart would be ideal :) https://bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?id=7420
