Re: [Quexml-discuss] XML gets formated into HTML but nothing more

[Adam Z. <ada...@ac...>]

Hi Janno,

There are two ways to produce PDF files from a queXML document:

1. Using the to_form.xslt stylesheet and FOP (which you appear to be
using).

2. Using the quexmlpdf.php PHP class / queXML Tools website (
https://surveys.acspri.org.au/quexmltools/quexml)

The first way is not compatible with HTML styling as FOP doesn't interpret
HTML. The second way will work for you. Also please note that the FOP
stylesheet hasn't been maintained in a while, and also doesn't support
automatic banding of documents for queXF integration.

Regards,
Adam Zammit

[Quexml-discuss] XML gets formated into HTML but nothing more

[Janno J. <jan...@ce...>]

Hi,

I’m only starting to discover the wonderful world of queXML and the problems
I ran into are probably due to my inexperience in this area. I also scanned
the internet for possible descriptions of the same problem but did not find
any. The problem is following:

 

I’m trying to convert a questionnaire created with Limesurvey into paper
survey.  As I want the paper questionnaire be compact, I converted the
single choice answer boxes from vertical column to horizontal. This all
worked well, however, as some of the answer labels are long, I wanted to
introduce line breaks into the labels. This is where I ran into trouble.
When I create PDF, the code I use in the labels is converted into html but
not into formatted final text. Here is an example with trying to make a word
in the label bold.

 

If I introduce label text like this:

 <text>This is &lt;b&gt;bold&lt;/b&gt;</text>

 

I will get:

This is <b>bold</b> 

 

in my PDF file. The same happens if a introduce line break. The command I
use for creating the PDF file is following:

 

fop -xml quexml-1.6.0\MYQUESTIONNAIRE.xml -xsl quexml-1.6.0\to_form.xslt
-pdf MYQUESTIONNAIRE_PAPER.pdf -param questionnaireId 5 -param
show_cover_page false

 

Hope someone can help.

 

Best regards,

Janno.

 

[Quexml-discuss] ACSPRI Social Science Methodology Conference

[Adam Z. <ada...@ac...>]

Dear All,

ACSPRI (my employer) are running a conference in Sydney in July 2016.
I am planning to convene a session on "Free / open source software in
social research". As users of ACSPRI software - you may be interested
in presenting on the use of the software in your field of research. I
would greatly appreciate your participation.

Please let me know if you are interested in presenting - I can assist
with submitting an abstract by March 4 if required.

Details of the conference are available here:

https://conference.acspri.org.au/index.php/conf/conference2016/index

Submissions of abstracts here:

https://conference.acspri.org.au/index.php/conf/conference2016/schedConf/cfp

Conference dates: Tuesday July 19 – Friday July 22, 2016

Venue: The University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia

Session: Free / open source software in social research
Session Convenor: Adam Zammit, Australian Consortium for Social and
Political Research Inc

Free/ open source software is computer software that is allowed to be
shared, modified and improved. Examples of free software in social
research include R, PSPP, Limesurvey, Gephi, NodeXL and Dataverse.
Besides the benefit of usually being free of cost, free software
allows the researchers to share improvements with the community and
use existing free software infrastructure to implement novel research
methods or techniques.  This session aims to showcase the benefits of
using free/ open source software for conducting social research. It
should benefit those who currently use proprietary software systems,
who are interested in free/ open source alternatives or those
interested in seeing what can be achieved using free/ open source
software.

Re: [Quexml-discuss] Setting Up a Multiple-Choice

[Adam Z. <ada...@ac...>]

Dear Stefan,

The suggestion on 21 October 2011 was for modifying the banding file
produced by the queXMLPDF tools. This would allow for the boxes to be
recognised as multiple choice when imported to queXF (instead of
manually changing them to "Multiple choice" by using the banding tools
of queXF).

To do this, you would save and edit the quexf_banding_xxxxx.xml file
and find the relevant <boxgroup> tags and replace the <type>1</type>
with <type>2</type>.

Please note that this will not change the look of the document, just
allow for queXF to process the forms as multiple choice instead of
single choice.

If you want the display of the PDF document to change, the
quexmlpdf.php file will need to be modified to display the boxes
differently.

Regards,
Adam Zammit

[Quexml-discuss] Setting Up a Multiple-Choice

[Ossenberg, S. <ste...@un...>]

Hello,

i know, that queXML doesn't support a horizontal matrix of check boxes of multiple
choice type by default.

How could i modify the type of the boxgroup from "1" (single choice) to  "2"
(multiple choice) in QUEXML, as recommended on 22. October 2011 in QueXML 1.3.12?

The PDF should after all look like this:

————————

Question

Answer

1   2  3  4 5  6

7   8  9 10 11 12

13 14 15 16 17 18

…

172 173 174 175 176

———————

I’ve studied the quexml doc and the quexml-files, but can’t find the right place to change the box-group.

Stefan

[Quexml-discuss] vertical spacing matrix questions

[Andreas K. <an...@pu...>]

i am building a questionnaire with several single matrix questions and now am editing the quexmlpdf.php to fit my layout…. so far so good, managed to change the box size, the vertical spacing between the boxes in single or multiple options questions.

the only parameter which i am not able to change is the vertical spacing between subquestions in a matrix question. Any advice where to do that?

thanks a lot in advance!

PS: i am using the xml file from limesurvey 
 

Re: [Quexml-discuss] FormID

[Adam Z. <ada...@ac...>]

Dear Tim,

When using the original queXML with Apache FOP / XSL stylesheets you
could pass a command line option which contained a form id - where the
barcode would appear on the cover page. This doesn't exist in the
queXMLPDF version. To do it using queXMLPDF - do the following:

*Create a question in queXML containing the barcode information, for example:

                <question>
                        <text>FormId</text>
                        <response varName="Barcode" defaultValue="123456">
                                <free>
                                        <format>i25</format>
                                </free>
                        </response>
                </question>

for this - format can be i25 for Interlaved 2 of 5 or codabar for a
Codabar barcode.

Alternatively use some software that stamps content on to existing PDF files.

Adam Zammit

Re: [Quexml-discuss] Semantic differential

This question type is not supported by the queXML. It would need to be

Hey everybody,

I'm sorry for writing to you again in such a short time, but could anybody 
give me a short step-by-step explanation of how to include the FormId 
barcode on each page of the survey? I know it has been asked before, but I

[Quexml-discuss] Semantic differential

[Tim B. <tim...@un...>]

Dear queXML power users,

I am trying to fit a scale of the semantic differential type in my survey 
- without success unfortunately. Basically it is an array type of 
question, but has sub-question labels on both sides of the scale (left and 
right). While I can easily create such a scale in limesurvey using the 
array option and separating the left and right side labels with the pipe 
symbol | , it doesn't seem to be exported to queXML correctly. When I try 
to export it to queXML, the entire expression "left|right" is written on 
the left side. Is there any way to do this correctly?

Thanks in advance,

[Quexml-discuss] Barcodes are not reflecting page numbers

[Tschapeller, B. <Ber...@jo...>]

Hi all,

when using FOP to create the questionnaire-PDF for the use in QueXF we're facing the following issue:
Each barcode on each page looks the same! So there is no page information within the barcode. This leads to an error message when trying to upload the PDF to QueXF.

We're running:
quexml-1.3.10
barcode4j-2.1.0

[Quexml-discuss] queXML support for Array(Numbers)-type questions [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Henry, M. <Mic...@ca...>]

UNCLASSIFIED
Hi queXML gurus,

I have just discovered that one of my questions, created in LimeSurvey, has not exported correctly. My question is of type "Array(Numbers)" and I just found this page (http://docs.limesurvey.org/Exporting+a+survey+structure&structure=English+Instructions+for+LimeSurvey) which lists "Array (Multi Flexible) (Numbers)" (same thing?) as "Not yet implemented".

The PDF export of the question lists all the Y-scale questions 4 times (where there are 4 X-scale questions). To this layman it looks like it would simply be a matter of printing out each X-scale question in some sort of header style before each block of Y-scale questions. Having not gone under the covers with queXML before my question is: could it possibly be that simple? If not, my only alternative is to split the question into 4 questions; one corresponding to each X-scale question.

Your thoughts and suggestions would be welcome.

Regards,

Michael

Dear Andrew,

Currently the only way to do this would be to run the queXML tools
locally. If you only have one questionnaire to create I could convert
it for you with a larger font size if you send through your original
queXML file.

Regards,
Adam Zammit

[Quexml-discuss] Use of Images in queXML

[Tschapeller, B. <Ber...@jo...>]

Hi all,

I was wondering if there is a possibility to add images to a generated questionnaire using queXML?

Many thanks in advance for any hints,
Bernd

[Quexml-discuss] changing font size

[Andrew W. <ts...@gm...>]

I am using quexmltools here

https://surveys.acspri.org.au/quexmltools/quexml2pdffop.php

as am a newbie at all this and it seems much easier than installing
everything on my (windows) machine.
However, the font size of the subquestion columns is too small for old
people to read at 8 points.
It has a control for question font (that does not seem to work anyway) but
how can I increase this tiny font size?
I tried editing the pdf produced but it is an embedded font and does not
seem possible.

TIA.

Re: [Quexml-discuss] dvas scales in PHP/TCPDF

[Kevin O'N. <kev...@gm...>]

Many thanks Adam. This fix works perfectly--I had not been aware of
the "rotate" option.
