Summary17477: Make it possible to use answer option text in expression script.
Description

Somehow this feature request was deleted, so I enter it again.

Use case: setting up a quiz.
Using Radio lists only.
All questions are coded A1, A2, A3 and A4 as answer options, where we replace the answer code of the correct option with a C.
Example (question code is q01):
q01 Which answer is correct?
A1 Wrong Answer 1
C Correct answer
A3 Wrong answer 2
A4 Wrong answer 3

In an evaluation afterwards I would like to show:

the question {q01.question}
the given answer {q01.shown}
and an evaluation {if(q01=="C", "Correct answer", "Wrong answer")}

And when the answer given by the user was wrong I want to show what the correct answer was.

Something like: {if(q01!="C", "The correct answer is" q01_C.text, "")}

But currently there is no way to get the text of an answer option (or subquestion) using expression script.

TagsNo tags attached.

Why not use... Because I have never heard of this code.

Can I use this in Expression code?

No : i mean why not create a expression manager function :)

By the way: I am not looking for the chosen answer, but for the answer that has code "C" (for correct answer)

yes : answerTextByCode(QCODE,"C") or answerTextByCode(QCODE_SQCODE,"C") (for array question type)

I do not know how to create Expression Script code. I asked if you could help me on that. How much time would it cost you to program this?

My question : are you OK with such a solution : answerTextByCode(QCODE,"C") ?

Create a new function in a core plugin + a test : 1 day work.

I would like you to develop this, yes, please send me a quote for how much money this would cost me.

Condition: answerTextByCode(QCODE,"C") must be usable as Expression Script.

@tammo, this can be really useful for creating more generic quizzes. Are you planning to provide this plugin to the community?

We are currently working on a different approach for a "Limesurvey quiz generator":
At a very simple interface you can define a welcome and end text and question items of type multi choice. These include:

  1. Question text
  2. Answers (sub-questions)
  3. An array indicating which are the correct answers (e.g.: "SQ001, SQ003, SQ007)
  4. Maybe also a help text at which we can later include additional text feedback.

Additional question items can be added by clicking [+]. Once all question details are defined, the plugin will generate the related Limesurvey survey automatically.

The user can take the survey and at the end will be presented an overview with all questions. At that overview his/her questions will be marked as well as the correct answers. We will also calculate a score like the percentage of correct answers.
Theoretically, we can also add more benchmark items like comparing the user's total score with the overall total score of all participants or showing the percentages of correct answers per question.

I only want to develop this (or have this developed by a good coder) for open source.

This what I developed based on current software. The feature I asked here is very much wanted.

https://research.respondage.com/index.php/365639?newtest=Y&lang=nl-informal

Denis made an offer. I would be glad to share the costs.

Well, currently we do not need the feature you outlined for any projects. What Limesurvey version are you developing this for? Will it support 3.x and 5.x?

The tool I described is not coded yet. We are currently looking for other customers with a similar demand.

You mean, that when JS autoclick is activated, it also hides the next button?

It's the option

  1. Plugin for master (with a specific name)
  2. Core plugin, same function name but different plugin name (then my plugin can disable itself if core plugin is activated … :/)
