Appearance

• dropdownthreshold ^{(Obsolete since 2.50)}: When "R" is selected for $dropdowns, the administrator is allowed to set a maximum number of options that will be displayed as radio buttons, before converting back to a dropdown list. If there is a question that has a large number of options, displaying all of them at once as radio buttons can look unwieldy, and can become counter-intuitive to users. Setting this to a maximum of, say 25 (which is the default) means that large lists are easier to be used by the administrators for the survey participant.
• repeatheadings: With the Array question type, you'll often have a lot of subquestions, which - when displayed on screen - take up more than one page. This setting lets you decide how many subquestions should be displayed before repeating the header information for the question. A good setting for this is around 15. If you don't want the headings to repeat at all, set this to 0. This setting is overridden in the global settings dialog ^{(New in 2.05 )}.
• minrepeatheadings: The minimum number of remaining subquestions that are required before repeating the headings in Array questions. The default value is 3 and it can be edited in config.php.
• defaulttemplate: This setting specifies the default theme used for the 'public list' of surveys. This setting can be overridden in the global settings dialog or edited in config.php.
• defaulthtmleditormode: Sets the default mode for the integrated HTML editor. This setting can be overridden in the global settings dialog or edited in config.php. The valid settings are:
  • 'inline' - Inline replacement of fields by an HTML editor. Slow but convenient and user friendly;
  • 'popup' - Adds an icon that runs the HTML editor in a popup if needed. Faster, but HTML code is displayed in the form;
  • 'none'- No HTML editor;
• column_style: Defines how columns are rendered for survey answers when using display_columns. It can be edited in the config.php file. The valid settings are:
  • 'css' - it uses one of the various CSS methods to create columns (see the template style sheet for details);
  • 'ul' - the columns are rendered as multiple floated unordered lists (default);
  • 'table' - it uses conventional-tables-based layout;
  • NULL - it disables the use of columns.
