| Is there a way to turn off the "leave blank" feature in Likert scale questions? I'm measuring frequency of occurrence (never - always) so for my purposes "never" would be the only alternative for the "blank" end of the scale. Thanks! Chris Hutcheson Posted: 2005-10-15 15:41:16 | ||

| If you want to turn off that feature for ALL the Likert questions in your installations so that applies to all the courses (i.e. system-widely), you should manually edit the file tools/take_test.php. Comment out lines 308 and 309 so they look like (1.5.1): 308 /* 309 echo $spacer; 310 echo '<input type="radio" ....... </label>'; 311 */ This will be enough to turn off this option when taking tests. You could wish to remove it when previewing test and viewing submissions. In that case you´ll also need to comment the appropriate lines in: * tools/tests/preview.php; * tools/tests/view_results.php; * tools/tests/results_all_quest.php. Posted: 2005-10-25 05:16:24 | ||

| Thanks for your help! I'll try this out. Since this appeared to be the default answer as well does this now mean participants could skip questions? If so, is there a way to oblige them to answer all items? Thanks Chris Posted: 2005-10-25 09:46:31 | ||

| You can make a few more changes to your tools/take_test.php file. I'm not sure about exact numbering since our file has been modified. The file should look like (modifications are in bold): 300 if ($i > 0) { 301 echo $spacer; 302 $ch = ''; 303 } else { 304 $ch = 'checked="checked" '; 305 } 306 307 echo '<input type="radio" name="answers['.$row['question_id'].']" value="'.$i.'" id="choice _'.$row['question_id'].'_'.$i.'" '.$ch.'/><label for="choice_'.$row['question_id'].'_'.$i.'">'.AT_print($row['choic e_'.$i], 'tests_answers.answer').'</label>'; 308 } 309 } Don't forget to backup your original file first!

| I'm sorry, those lines are wrong for the default installation. If you made no changes to tools/take_test.php, line numbering in the above fragment starts from 283. Anyway, test that before using. With these changes applied, first choices should now be always pre-checked. Posted: 2005-10-26 06:46:23 | ||
