===Interface language===
 
 
You can select the administrative language preference during log in by using the dropdown list as shown below. After a successful login, the LimeSurvey interface will change to the chosen language. The system will record this preference setting in your profile and make it the default for your next login.
 
 
<center>[[File:login language.png]]</center>
 
 
<!--T15-->Some LimeSurvey setups hide or skip the login page to enable common authentication inside other applications. In this case, you won't have access to select the language. However, you can change your language preference from your account preferences. Access your account preferences by clicking your user name located in the upper right side of your browser and then the ''Your account'' button. Next, click the '''Your personal settings''' tab and select your desired language from the dropdown list located under '''Interface language'''.
 
 
<center>[[File:Selection 007.png]]</center>
 
===HTML editor mode===
 
There is an '''HTML editor''' integrated into LimeSurvey. This tool will help you develop rich formatting for your surveys, groups, questions, and answer text; for tables, and images.  But as this editor takes extra space on the screen and resources on the computer, it is not always desirable to use. Therefore, four options are provided by LimeSurvey: '''default''', '''inline HTML editor''' (selected by default), '''popup HTML editor''', and '''no HTML editor'''.
 
====Default====
 
If the "default" option is selected, you will inherit the HTML editor mode selected by the superadminstrator from the [[Global settings#General|global settings]] of the LimeSurvey installation.
 
====Inline====
In this case, the '''HTML editor''' is always used in-line on the page. It also represents the 'default' value.
 
 
<center>[[File:InlineMode1.PNG]]</center>
 
 
====Popup====
The normal text editor is used, but the '''HTML editor''' is available as a pop-up option. You can always get to the '''HTML editor''' by clicking on the icon on the right of the normal text editor window as shown for the '''popup''' option below
 
 
<center>[[File:Popup1.PNG]]</center>
 
 
=====Fullscreen{{ObsoleteIn|3.0}}=====
 
This option is available only for inline editor. It allows you to increase the size of the editor to fill the browser window and then decrease it back later.{{ObsoleteIn|3.0}}
 
 
<center>[[File:InlineMode2.PNG]]</center>
 


==The administrative language preference==
When switching between which editor you use, the last used editor before logout is recorded in your profile and will become the default at your next login.


You can select the administrative language preference during login by using the dropdown list as shown below. After a successful login, the LimeSurvey interface will change to the chosen language.  The system will record this preference setting in your profile and make it the default for your next login.
Please note that when editing answers and labels, the normal text editor (or 'Popup' mode) is always used because of the larger number of windows.


[[File:login language.png]]
{{Note|You can change the size of the HTML editor box by clicking on the bottom right corner of the editor.}}


Some LimeSurvey setups hide or skip the login page to enable common authentication inside other applications.  In this case, you won't have access to select the language. No worry since you can change your preference in the '''User Prerence''' once logged in as well.  Select your preferred language there to not only change the language of the current LimeSurvey session but also to record your preference setting in your profile for the future.


<div class="simplebox">'''Hint''': Recognize the location of this selection from the screen capture above in case the default system language is incomprehensible to you.</div>

===HTML 編輯器工作模式===


這是整合在 LimeSurvey 內的 HTML 編輯器. 這個工具有助你把問卷/組別/題目/答案選項配合圖文及表格進行美化的排版整理。
====Source code mode====


在編輯器提供兩項選擇:
If you want to paste HTML or Javascript code directly, you must switch to the '''source code''' mode. This option is not available in your personal settings. However, it can be selected from the HTML editor menu.
* 內置模式: 這表示一般文字區的內容會被 HTML 編輯器的網頁所替換,只要 click 選上方的灰色棒型選單,就可以擴展工具選單。
* 彈出模式: 文字區顯示一般文字 (包括 HTML 編碼), 但在HTML 編輯器右方 click 選圖標會彈出新的編輯視窗。


<u>內置模式不是更好用嗎? 還要提供彈出模式 ?</u>


視乎LimeSurvey 的使用需要而定, 你可以載入多個 HTML 編輯器. 譬如,你正在編寫邀請電郵(共有4 封電郵及相應的文字區), 如果你的問卷提供 5 個語言版本, 你在頁面載入時就要執行  20 個內置編輯器! 這樣做肯定會對瀏覽器造成坰負荷運行或施慢運行速度. 所以提供彈出模式,正好為多語言版本問卷的工作環境,提供更靈活的調配。
<center>[[File:source_code_mode.png]]</center>


因此你可以因應 使用 LimeSurvey 的需要而隨時游走於內置模式或彈出模式(亦可能視乎你正在製作的問卷的需要而作出改變). HTML 編輯器作出的任何最新改變都會記存到你的個人資料的設定內,留待下次登入時讀取及執行.


注意︰由於答案選項及標籤佔用空間較大,一般都會使用彈出式的模式.
You must [[Global settings#Security|disable the ''Filter HTML for XSS'' setting]] in order to store code entered in the source code mode (or to have superadmin permissions).


There is an '''HTML editor''' integrated into LimeSurvey. This tool will help you develop rich formatting for your surveys, groups, questions, and answer text; for tables, images, and so on.  But as this editor takes extra space on the screen and resources on the computer, it is not always desirable to use.  So you can choose between whether the '''HTML editor''' appears in-line in the browser window or whether a normal text editor is always used.


<div class="simplebox">'''Hint''': You can always get to the '''HTML editor''' by clicking on the icon on the right of the normal text editor window as shown for the '''Popup''' option below.</div>
<center>[[File:SourceCodeMode.png]]</center>


'''You can choose between two settings for the editor''':


==='''Inline'''===
====No HTML editor====
The '''HTML editor''' is always used in-line on the page.
If you do not want to use an HTML editor, select this option. You will be able to use only simple text in the surveys.  


[[File:InlineMode1.PNG]]
<div class="simplebox">'''Hint''': Why not always choose the '''HTML Editor'''? Depending on your use of LimeSurvey, there may be many text boxes on a single page, each with a copy of the editor. For instance, when editing the email text for a survey invitation that is offered in 5 languages, you can then have a total of 20 inline '''HTML editors''' active on the page. Each instance takes a fair amount of resources and will likely cause issues on your browser. So, if you work with multiple language surveys, we recommend you stick with the normal text editor or 'Popup' setting.</div>


<div class="simplebox">'''Note''': If you want the toolbar to show up enlarged on startup you have to change some FCKeditor settings:
===Question type selector===
#navigate to "/admin/scripts/fckeditor.xxx/"
#open the file "limesurvey-config.js" with a text editor
#search for "FCKConfig.ToolbarStartExpanded" and set it to "true"


In some cases you have to clean your browser cache to see the changes. For more information have a look at the [http://docs.fckeditor.net/FCKeditor_2.x/Developers_Guide/Configuration/Configuration_Options FCKeditor Docs - Configuration Options]</div>
Choose 'Full selector' to get a question type selector with preview and 'Simple selector' to get a plain select box. The 'default' option corresponds to the option selected in the [[Global settings|global settings]] of the LimeSurvey installation.


==='''Popup'''===
===Template editor mode===
The normal text editor is used but the '''HTML editor''' is available as a pop-up option.


[[File:Popup1.PNG]]
Three options are available: 'default', 'full template editor', and 'simple template editor'. Choose 'Full template editor' to get an enhanced editor (with syntax-highlighting) when editing survey templates and 'Simple template editor' to get a plain editor field. The 'default' option corresponds to the option selected in the [[Global settings|global settings]] of the LimeSurvey installation.


An icon-based tool bar of the editor can be exposed by clicking the wider, colored bar above the text editing window.  You can also increase the size of the editor to fill the browser window and then decrease it back later.
{{Note|For a more comprehensive presentation of our template editor, check the [[The template editor|following wiki]].}}


[[File:InlineMode2.PNG]]
===Date format===


==='''Source code mode'''===
This setting sets the date format for your profile (e.g. when you browse the survey results or for other settings located in the administration panel). It does '''not''' affect the actual surveys.


If you want to paste HTML code directly you have to switch to the '''source code mode'''. Click the "source code" button (in the screenshot it's called ''Quelltext'') and paste your Javascript and/or HTML source code there.
When creating a date/time question, you can set the date/time format when you edit/add a question. After you have chosen the '''date/time''' question format, type in the desired format you would like to use in the boxes located under the Input and Display tabs. For extra information, hover the mouse over the heading of each box.


You have to [[Global settings#Security|disable the ''Filter HTML for XSS'' setting]] in order to store code entered in source code mode.

==My personal menus==


To make the system more convenient when you are switching between which editor you use, the last used editor before logout is recorded to your profile and will become the default at your next login.
You can visualise here the customized menus that are available to you or the ones you created via the [[Menu configuration|menu configuration option]].


<div class="simplebox">'''Note''': Please note that when editing answers and labels, the normal text editor (or 'Popup' mode) is always used because of the larger number of windows.</div>
To start editing them, access the '''Menu configuration''' option located within the '''Configuration''' menu.


==Date format==
==My personal menu entries==


This setting sets the date format for your administration user - for example if you browse results or for other settings. It does '''not''' affect the actual surveys.
You can visualise here the customized menus entries that are available to you or the ones you created via the [[Menu entries configuration|menu entries configuration option]].


When creating a survey you can [[Creating a new survey#Presentation & navigation|set the date format at the "Presentation & Navigation tab]]. If you later want to edit this language specific setting at ''edit survey settings'' you have to click ''save and continue'' on the first screen to get to the [[Creating a new survey#2nd Step - Additional languages|language specific settings]] where you can then set the date format for each language of your survey.
To edit them, you need to access the '''Menu entries configuration''' option located within the '''Configuration''' menu.

Interface language

You can select the administrative language preference during log in by using the dropdown list as shown below. After a successful login, the LimeSurvey interface will change to the chosen language. The system will record this preference setting in your profile and make it the default for your next login.



Some LimeSurvey setups hide or skip the login page to enable common authentication inside other applications. In this case, you won't have access to select the language. However, you can change your language preference from your account preferences. Access your account preferences by clicking your user name located in the upper right side of your browser and then the Your account button. Next, click the Your personal settings tab and select your desired language from the dropdown list located under Interface language.


HTML editor mode

There is an HTML editor integrated into LimeSurvey. This tool will help you develop rich formatting for your surveys, groups, questions, and answer text; for tables, and images.  But as this editor takes extra space on the screen and resources on the computer, it is not always desirable to use. Therefore, four options are provided by LimeSurvey: default, inline HTML editor (selected by default), popup HTML editor, and no HTML editor.

Default

If the "default" option is selected, you will inherit the HTML editor mode selected by the superadminstrator from the global settings of the LimeSurvey installation.

Inline

In this case, the HTML editor is always used in-line on the page. It also represents the 'default' value.



Popup

The normal text editor is used, but the HTML editor is available as a pop-up option. You can always get to the HTML editor by clicking on the icon on the right of the normal text editor window as shown for the popup option below



Fullscreen (Obsolete since 3.0)

This option is available only for inline editor. It allows you to increase the size of the editor to fill the browser window and then decrease it back later. (Obsolete since 3.0)



When switching between which editor you use, the last used editor before logout is recorded in your profile and will become the default at your next login.

Please note that when editing answers and labels, the normal text editor (or 'Popup' mode) is always used because of the larger number of windows.

You can change the size of the HTML editor box by clicking on the bottom right corner of the editor.



Source code mode

If you want to paste HTML or Javascript code directly, you must switch to the source code mode. This option is not available in your personal settings. However, it can be selected from the HTML editor menu.



You must disable the Filter HTML for XSS setting in order to store code entered in the source code mode (or to have superadmin permissions).



No HTML editor

If you do not want to use an HTML editor, select this option. You will be able to use only simple text in the surveys.

Hint: Why not always choose the HTML Editor? Depending on your use of LimeSurvey, there may be many text boxes on a single page, each with a copy of the editor. For instance, when editing the email text for a survey invitation that is offered in 5 languages, you can then have a total of 20 inline HTML editors active on the page. Each instance takes a fair amount of resources and will likely cause issues on your browser. So, if you work with multiple language surveys, we recommend you stick with the normal text editor or 'Popup' setting.

Question type selector

Choose 'Full selector' to get a question type selector with preview and 'Simple selector' to get a plain select box. The 'default' option corresponds to the option selected in the global settings of the LimeSurvey installation.

Template editor mode

Three options are available: 'default', 'full template editor', and 'simple template editor'. Choose 'Full template editor' to get an enhanced editor (with syntax-highlighting) when editing survey templates and 'Simple template editor' to get a plain editor field. The 'default' option corresponds to the option selected in the global settings of the LimeSurvey installation.

For a more comprehensive presentation of our template editor, check the following wiki.

Date format

This setting sets the date format for your profile (e.g. when you browse the survey results or for other settings located in the administration panel). It does not affect the actual surveys.

When creating a date/time question, you can set the date/time format when you edit/add a question. After you have chosen the date/time question format, type in the desired format you would like to use in the boxes located under the Input and Display tabs. For extra information, hover the mouse over the heading of each box.
