Introduction
On this page you'll learn how to:
- Use the new template system of LimeSurvey 3.0.
- Use inheritance to manage your own templates.
- Add a picture to your template
- Manage template options for your surveys and survey groups
LimeSurvey 3 introduces a complete new template engine system, based on Twig 1.29, Bootstrap, and allowing template inheritance and template options. It completely removes the old replacement keywords system. So now, 100% of the frontend HTML can be customized. For example, in the old template system, there was a keyword {ASSESSMENTS} that was replaced by the assessment HTML at execution time. A template designer had no way to customize this HTML (other than using JavaScript). Now, there is a file called assessments.twig that contains the logic (written in Twig) to generate this HTML. In these pages, we will give you some explanation about how to use this new template engine.
We will not detail here how Twig works. It’s kind of very simplified PHP that offers a high level of security thanks to the “sandbox” system (we’ll see that in more detail in the part about the Template Engine Core code). If you already know PHP, it will be extremely easy for you to master. If you don’t know PHP, it still should be pretty easy to learn. Please, have a look to the Twig 1.X documentation:
https://twig.symfony.com/ Editing Using the Admin Interface
Template list
On the admin dashboard, there is now a box to access the template list:
The list is divided in 5 columns:
- a preview of the template: it’s just a picture file called “preview.png” at the root of the template
- the “name” of the template: the directory name of the template. Before we release the LS3 master, it will become the template “Title” (can be different from directory name, and it can contain special cgunnarhars)
- the description of the template: a string set in its manifest
- the type of template: Core template (provided with LimeSurvey), User template (added in upload directory), XML template (not loaded in database)
- Extends: if the template extends another template, its name will be indicated here
- Some action buttons:
- Install: it will load the manifest of a template to add it to database and make it available for selection at the survey level
- Uninstall: it will delete the configuration entries of a template in the database
- Template editor: it will redirect you to the template editor
- Template option: it will lead you the global configuration of template options
Template Editor
This documentation supposes you already know how to use the Template Editor in the previous version of LS.
The Template Editor has been kept as close as possible to the original one. So, when you open a Core Template, you can’t edit it. But now, instead of a “copy” button, you have an “extend button”.
A quick overview of the concept of template inheritance
In LS3, a template can now inherit from another template, it can “extend” another template. This means that the template directory will be practically empty, it will only contain the files (views, style sheets, scripts, resources etc.) that differ from the original ones. Doing so, it will be easy for you to create a fleet of templates for your different users without having to maintain a lot of different templates. For example: you can have your own home-made template, and then a version for a company (with its logo, its style, maybe a link to its website on the footer etc.), another version for another company etc. If then you update the CSS or the global layout of your custom template, all the templates that inherit from it will be updated automatically. Note that the inheritance is recursive: a template can extend a template that extends another one etc.
It also means that if you extend one of the core templates of LimeSurvey, you will still benefit from its updates.Novelties in the user interface
To extend the Monochrome template of LimeSurvey, go to the Template list, click on the button “Template Editor” of the Monochrome template. Then, click on “extend” and validate the new name “extends_monochrome”.
If you now go to the upload directory (with your file/ftp client), you’ll see that a new directory has been created: upload/templates/extends_monochrome It contains an XML file and directories, but most directories are empty. It has neither views nor CSS nor JS. But, you can still select this template as a normal one from a survey and it will look exactly like the monochrome template.
The ressources (jpg, png etc.) from the original template are copied when extending a template. This is because if you copy a CSS file from the original template locally, and if it refers to those files (like in background-image statement), it will need to find those pictures in the current template path. The template editor for the extends_monochrome template looks like that:
There is no big difference with the old template editor. Let’s list the main ones:
- The keyword inherited on the file list. It means that the file is not present in the template directory and that the file from the original template will be used.
- The main editor ( ACE editor ) shows the content of the selected file. The files not only contain HTML, CSS or JS, but also Twig statements. Those Twig statements give us the possibility to push some logic to template views that were located deep in the core before, and that now can be customized.
- This is why you have more screen types available in the dropdown selector of the top menu now. You’ll notice pages such as ‘Survey List’, ‘Load’, ‘Save’, ‘Error’, ‘Registration’, ‘Assessments’, ‘Print Answers’ that weren’t available before, or that you couldn’t really be customized before.
- The ‘tip’ link at the bottom of the file list gives you the Twig way to add a picture in your HTML
- The button ‘save changes’ becomes a button Copy to local template and save changes
Quick example: adding a picture
The button Copy to local template and save changes will do exactly what it says: if you edit anything inside the file and then click on that button, it will copy the file to the template you’re editing, and save your changes.
For example: click on the file layout_global.twig, then just before the block content ( {% block content %}) add the text “TEST” and click the button. You can see that the label of the file changed from “inherited” to “local” and now the button is a simple button save changes.
If you open a file explorer and go to the directory upload/templates/extends_monochrome/views/, you will see that it contains only one file, the file layout_global.twig and that the string “TEST” is there.
Now instead of addind a random text, we will add a picture. If you click on the tip link, it will tell you:
To use a picture in a .twig file:
{{ image('./files/myfile.png', 'alt-text for my file', {"class": "myclass"}) }}
If you have read the Twig documentation (and you should have done so at this point), you know that {{ function( ) }} will echo the result of a function on screen. Here, the function is image( ).
If you’re curious to know what it does, you can find it in the code here (version of RC3): image() function in RC3
If you don’t understand the code: don’t worry, you don’t need to know how it works, but why to use it and how to use it.
You should use the function image() for two reasons:
- The function image loops through the template to find the image. If the template you’re working on is extended to another template, and if you copy the file to where you inserted the picture locally, but that picture is not copied in the local template, it will loop through the template inheritance tree to find where that picture is.
- It will use the asset manager, so it will improve the performance of your template. See the Yii Asset Manager documentation for more information about it: http://www.yiiframework.com/wiki/148/understanding-assets/
So, to add a picture to your template:
- just upload it as usual with the file uploader on the right and then add it to where you want it in any twig file:
{{ image('./files/myfile.png') }}
- If you want to add an alternate text for your picture (for screen readers and HTML validation), add:
{{ image('./files/myfile.png'), ‘my alternative text’ }}
- If you want to add a class attribute and add an id to it:
{{ image('./files/myfile.png'), ‘my alternative text’, {“class”: “a_nice_css_class”, “id”: “any_id”} }}
Some things on our TO-DO list
- Give users the possibility to upload a custom preview file from the editor itself
- Add a button to delete the local file and return to the inherited statement
- Only copy the picture used in the CSS files (by listing them in the manifest as file to copy)
- Remind which template the current one extends (if any)
Template options
Another novelty of LS3 is the template option page. As we’ll see later, template creators can create their own options and even their own admin option page. Here, we’ll quickly see how the option page of the Core Templates work. To access the template options at global level: click on “template options” in the template list
Advanced options
When you open the theme options tab, you can choose to edit either its simple options or its advanced options. “Advanced options” is just a naked form that gives you access to the main theme configuration fields from the database. To understand how it works, you should also read about the XML file and the creation of a theme from scratch. So, it’s rather complex and made for advanced users.
However, if you do wish to perform advanced settings editing, click on the advanced options tab
- Files css: The CSS files that should be added to the template;
- Files js: The JS files that should be added to the template;
- Files Print Css: The CSS files to load when printing a template;
- Options: This field includes the options (and their value) that should be parsed to the template view;
- CssFramework Name: The name of the CSS framework to load. For now, only Bootstrap or nothing;
- Cssframework Css: You can replace the core bootstrap.css in this field by a different custom version of it;
- Cssframework Js: The field core boostrap.js can be replaced from here by a different custom version of it;
- Packages To Load: You can load from this setting some core asset packages from LimeSurvey.
You’ll notice an upload input at the top, which gives you the possibility to upload a file into the file directory of the theme. These parameters can be used to change the entire appearance of the theme.
Warning! : Don't touch the values unless you know what you're doing!
Simple options
The Simple option page comes from the Template itself. It’s made via a twig file and some javascript inside the template/options/ directory: https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/tree/develop/templates/default/options
This page can be completely different from a template to another, and template providers are strongly encouraged to create their own look & feel. 
The simple option page simply fills in the advanced form inputs. You can see it by turning on or off a setting in the simple page, and see how the related input in the advanced form is modified accordingly. For example, in Default Template’s simple options,, if you change the Bootswatch theme to “Darkly” and then click on the tab for advanced options (even without saving) you’ll see that the field “Cssframework Css” changed from
{"replace": [["css/bootstrap.css","css/flatly.css"]]}
to
{"replace": [["css/bootstrap.css","css/darkly.css"]]}
Here are the different simple options for the Core templates:
- Ajax mode: Should the next page be loaded via ajax (faster) or via page reload (better for debugging purpose)
- Background image: if set to Yes, the image called pattern.png will be loaded (will be replaced by a file selector in Master)
- Box container: if set to No, the questions will not be contained in a box (so you can use large arrays bigger than the screen width)
- Brandlogo: if set to no, the name of the survey will be shown in top bar, else, you can select one of the pictures inside the file directory to be used as logo picture.
- Animate body: if set to yes, you can choose one of the animations to apply when the body of the survey is loaded
- Animate question: same with questions
- Animate alerts: same with alerts
- Bootstrap theme: here, you can choose a Bootstrap theme to load. They come from Bootswatch https://bootswatch.com/3/
The library used for animations is animate.css: https://daneden.github.io/animate.css/
Of course, a template provider could add his own animation library or no animation library at all.
The monochrome templates use the same bootstrap color theme as the admin user interface. They’re not using the css framework replacement system, but simply add a CSS file. So, it illustrates another way to deal with custom themes for template providers.Inheritance system
In the previous part, we’ve seen that a template can extend another template. A template configuration can also inherit from another template configuration. It means that for a given template, you can have a configuration at
- global level (the one we’ve just seen accessible from the template list)
- at survey group level
- a last one at survey level.
Each parameter at a certain level can inherit from the upper level: survey group inheritance. First, let’s see the survey group level.
At survey group level
Indeed, one of the other great novelties of LS3 is the survey group system. You can now create different groups to organize your surveys. To access it, go to the survey list and then click on the survey group tab:
In this list, you have two action buttons. If the group is empty, you can delete it. Else, you can always edit it. By clicking on the edit button, you reach the Survey Group configuration page:
The third tab of this page is called “Template options for this survey group”. If you click on it, you’ll see the same list of templates than in the template list, except that here only the option button is visible (template editor can be reached only from the main list).
Now, if you click on the option for Default Template, you’ll see this:
- Inherit everything means that all the configuration will be inherited from the Global configuration level.
- If you go to the advanced options page, you’ll see that all the fields are set to inherit.
- If you click on "no" for "Inherit everything" in the simple options, you’ll again see a very similar page to the global option page. The only difference is that for each field, you can set it to yes, no, or inherit; and each dropdown selector has an inherit' value.
A survey group can be a child of another group. In this case, it will inherit from its parent.At survey level
When editing a survey, in the left bar menu, you’ll see a new entry “Template Options”. It will lead you to the option page of the Template selected for the current survey. You’ll find the same inheritance system as in the survey group, but this time, inherit means that the setting will be inherited from the Survey Group of the survey.
Use case example
Let’s say you’re using a single template for different companies (A and B). You set your favorites options at global level (e.g.: ajax on, animate body with a slide in, alerts with a pulse). Then you create a survey group for each company: a survey group for company A that will host all the surveys for this company, and a survey for company B that will host all the surveys for company B. At this level, you’ll set the logo and the background only, and you will let the other options to inherit. So, all the surveys in group A will use the logo from the company A, and all the survey from group B the logo from company B. For one of the surveys of company A, you could use a different background in relation with the topic of the survey: you just change the background in options at survey level. If someone in company B tells you that the pulsing alert is too aggressive and he would prefer something smoother like a fade in, you just change the alert animation at the Survey Group B level and all the surveys of this group will now use this animation. If the company A changes its logo, you can change it at the level of Survey Group A, and all the surveys of this group will use the new logo.
FAQ about theme customization
You'll find here some answers to questions that have been asked in the forum and that could help you to customize your theme.
Customizing CSS: deal with the asset manager ("why my changes are not applied?")
If you're trying to update the CSS of a theme by directly editing the code with your favorite editor, you could be surprised that your changes are not applied.
Since 2.50, LS use the Yii asset manager:
Yii Documentation about Assets
It moves the CSS files of a theme to a tmp/ sub-directory with a random string (eg: "tmp/1ef64ml/"). So if you make any change to a css file, and tell it to the asset manager, the files are copied to a new sub-directory with a new name so the user browser's cache is updated and they see the new css. Else, they would have to clean their browser cache.
Here the CSS links in header when asset manager is on:
As you can see they all refer to the tmp/ subfolders.
Here the CSS links in header when asset manager is off:
As you can see they point to the real files of the theme.
Of course, if the Asset Manager doesn't know you changed the file, the old file from the old tmp/directory remain unchanged, and your changes will never be applied..So, when you're editing CSS of a theme you have various possibilities:
- You can use the the LS Theme Editor: it deals with the asset manager and you don't have to worry about anything
- You can turn debug mode on: it will turn asset manager off, so the real css/js files of your themes are called (but then, you have to refresh your browser cache at each load)
- You can refresh the assets cache: from Global Settings -> General -> Clear asset cache
Using the theme editor to edit the custom CSS is by far the best solution.
Using the theme editor will help you to understand the architecture of the new theme engine.
Also, if your customizing fruity, be careful with CSS specifity: most of the definitions use the selector ".fruity" (one of the class of the body element)
Adding custom fonts to my theme
The easy way: using Google Font CDN
Bootswatch Survey Theme uses Google Font CDN. Let's have a look to how ti works: https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/70a1d99cd2ebe411597231a8bc746b4ca9e19584/themes/survey/bootswatch/css/variations/flatly.min.css
@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:400,700,400italic");
Then the Lato font is used via CSS rules: https://github.com/thomaspark/bootswatch/blob/master/dist/flatly/bootstrap.css#L72
body {
...
font-family: "Lato";
...
}
You can use any google font that way in your custom theme. Of course, you should remove the font selector from the options of your theme. Delete those lines in options.twig: https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/70a1d99cd2ebe411597231a8bc746b4ca9e19584/themes/survey/vanilla/options/options.twig#L209-L230
Using local font
Of course, you can also download the font files and use them from local server rather than from Google CDN (better for privacy). To have an example of how to it, here our local version of noto font: https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/70a1d99cd2ebe411597231a8bc746b4ca9e19584/assets/fonts/noto.css
@font-face {
font-family: 'Noto Sans';
font-weight: 300;
font-style: normal;
src: url('./font-src/Noto/NotoSans-Regular.ttf');
}
...
You can use a very similar definition in your theme css file, and then by copying the file NotoSans-Regular.ttf in your theme css/font-src/ folder.
Then, apply that font to your body (or any other element) like above, and remove the default option font selector.
Creating your own font selector in options
For now, you can't easily use the core font selector to add your own font in options. We need first to give the possibility to end user to upload custom packages (see next paragraph: A look into the Fruity Font Selector )
Here how to proceed:
- Add two fonts (my_custom_font and my_custom_other_font) into your theme, using CDN or local server
- Then, in your css file, add two new classes:
.font-my_custom_font {
font-family: 'my_custom_font ';
}
.font-my_custom_other_font {
font-family: 'my_custom_other_font';
}
- In the XML file of your theme, add a font option (default one will be my_custom_font) :
<options>
....
<font>my_custom_font</font>
</options>
- in option.twig, add you font picker adding those lines (untested for now, so come complain to the forum if it doesn't work):
<div class='row ls-space margin top-15 bottom-15 action_hide_on_inherit'>
<hr/>
</div>
<div class='row action_hide_on_inherit'>
<div class='col-sm-12'>
<div class='panel panel-default'>
<div class='panel-heading'>{{ "My custom fonts" | t }}</div>
<div class='panel-body'>
<div class='form-group row'>
<label for='simple_edit_font' class='control-label'>{{ "Select font:" | t }}</label>
<div class='col-sm-12'>
<select class='form-control selector_option_value_field' id='simple_edit_font' name='font'>
{% if templateConfiguration.sid is not empty or templateConfiguration.gsid is not empty %}
{% set fontOptions = fontOptions ~ '<option value = "inherit" > Inherit</option>' %}
{% endif %}
<optgroup label="{{ "My Custom fonts" | t }}">
<option class="font-my_custom_font" value="custom_font" data-font-package="" >Custom</option>
<option class="font-my_custom_other_font" value="my_custom_other_font" data-font-package="" >Other</option>
</optgroup>
</select>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Now your users should be able to choose between those two fonts.
A look into the Fruity Font Selector
In the future, we'll give the possibility to final user to upload their own asset packages, including font packages. It will make very easy any customization of fonts.
To understand Yii Packages:
http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/1.1/CClientScript#packages-detail
LimeSurvey packages are defined in different files. Fonts packages are defined here:
https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/4c40b61afb0dba8fd80154b50f5831045df8d814/application/config/fonts.php
For example, the Noto font package is defined here:
https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/4c40b61afb0dba8fd80154b50f5831045df8d814/application/config/fonts.php#L47-L53
'font-noto' => array(
'devBaseUrl' => 'assets/fonts/',
'basePath' => 'fonts',
'css' => array(
'noto.css',
),
),
The noto.css file it contains is here:
https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/4c40b61afb0dba8fd80154b50f5831045df8d814/assets/fonts/noto.css
Notice the definition of the css class ".font-noto" at the end of it:
@font-face {
font-family: 'Noto Sans';
...
}
...
.font-noto{
font-family: 'Noto Sans';
}
Then, in Vanilla Theme, noto font is used by adding the noto package and defining the font option to noto:
https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/70a1d99cd2ebe411597231a8bc746b4ca9e19584/themes/survey/vanilla/config.xml#L79
<packages>
....
<add>font-noto</add>
</packages>
<options>
....
<font>noto</font>
</options>
Then, the body class font is defined using this value:
https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/70a1d99cd2ebe411597231a8bc746b4ca9e19584/themes/survey/vanilla/views/layout_global.twig#L76
<body class=" ... font-{{ aSurveyInfo.options.font }} ... " ... >
Of course, the XML file only contains the default values for your template configuration. But indeed, those values are defined and read inside the database (table "template_configuration") as json strings. The option.js file just use the value of the font selector of the simple option to change the value inside the advanced tab form: https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/70a1d99cd2ebe411597231a8bc746b4ca9e19584/themes/survey/vanilla/options/options.js#L148-L174
So when the "upload asset package" functionality will be available, it will be easy to add a script that scan all the existing font packages to add them in the selector.
Adding theme options to control positioning and display of survey elements
This tutorial will show how to add options to an extended theme to display survey elements in various locations. In this case, we will create theme options to show the survey title in two different locations.
For the sake of simplicity, we will base the tutorial on an extension of the "bootswatch" theme in LimeSurvey version 3.4.3.Create a custom theme
- Extend the "bootswatch" theme as described above.
- Copy custom.css to the local template as described above.
Create new template options
- Copy the contents of /themes/survey/bootswatch/options/ to /upload/themes/survey/yourThemeName/options/.
- Open /upload/themes/survey/yourThemeName/options/options.twig in an editor and find "{# Bootstrap Bootswatch theme #}". Directly before its parent <div class='row'> element, add this:
{# Custom survey name in navbar #} <div class='row'> <div class='col-sm-12 col-md-6'> <div class='form-group row'> <label for='simple_edit_options_surveyname1' class='control-label'>Survey name in navbar</label> <div class='col-sm-12'> <div class="btn-group" data-toggle="buttons"> <label class="btn btn-default"> <input name='surveyname1' type='radio' value='on' class='selector_option_radio_field ' data-id='simple_edit_options_surveyname1'/> Yes </label> <label class="btn btn-default"> <input name='surveyname1' type='radio' value='off' class='selector_option_radio_field ' data-id='simple_edit_options_surveyname1'/> No </label> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class='row'> <hr/> </div> {# Custom survey name below progress bar #} <div class='row'> <div class='col-sm-12 col-md-6'> <div class='form-group row'> <label for='simple_edit_options_surveyname2' class='control-label'>Survey name below progress bar</label> <div class='col-sm-12'> <div class="btn-group" data-toggle="buttons"> <label class="btn btn-default"> <input name='surveyname2' type='radio' value='on' class='selector_option_radio_field ' data-id='simple_edit_options_surveyname2'/> Yes </label> <label class="btn btn-default"> <input name='surveyname2' type='radio' value='off' class='selector_option_radio_field ' data-id='simple_edit_options_surveyname2'/> No </label> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class='row'> <hr/> </div> - Open /upload/themes/survey/yourThemeName/config.xml and add two items to the "options" block so it looks like this:
<options> <ajaxmode>on</ajaxmode> ... <surveyname1>on</surveyname1> <surveyname2>on</surveyname2> </options>
- This should give you two new options in the Theme Options screen like this:
- Create a new directory /upload/themes/survey/yourThemeName/views/subviews/header/.
- Copy /themes/survey/vanilla/views/subviews/header/nav_bar.twig to that new directory.
- Open /themes/survey/vanilla/views/subviews/header/nav_bar.twig and find "{# Logo option #}". Under that, modify the IF statement for the logo/survey-name, so it looks like this:
{# Logo option #} {% if( aSurveyInfo.options.brandlogo == "on") %} <div class="{{ aSurveyInfo.class.navbarbrand }} logo-container" {{ aSurveyInfo.attr.navbarbrand }} > {{ image(aSurveyInfo.options.brandlogofile, aSurveyInfo.name, {"class": "logo img-responsive"}) }} </div> {% endif %} {% if( aSurveyInfo.options.surveyname1 == "on") %} <div class="{{ aSurveyInfo.class.navbarbrand }}" {{ aSurveyInfo.attr.navbarbrand }} > {{ aSurveyInfo.name }} </div> {% endif %} - Add something like this to /upload/themes/survey/yourThemeName/css/custom.css:
.navbar-brand { line-height: 60px; font-size: 32px; }
- Toggle the "Survey name in navbar" theme option to "Yes"
- You should see this:
Modifed view for Survey Title under progress bar
- Create a new directory /upload/themes/survey/yourThemeName/views/subviews/survey/group_subviews.
- Copy /themes/survey/vanilla/views/subviews/survey/group_subviews/group_container.twig to that new directory.
- Open /themes/survey/vanilla/views/subviews/survey/group_subviews/group_container.twig and add an <h1> element for the survey name. So it looks like this:
<div class="{{ aSurveyInfo.class.groupcontainer }} space-col" {{ aSurveyInfo.attr.groupcontainer }}> {# Custom survey name #} {% if( aSurveyInfo.options.surveyname2 == "on") %} <h1 class="custom-survey-name">{{ aSurveyInfo.name }}</h1> {% endif %} {# Group Name #} {{ include('./subviews/survey/group_subviews/group_name.twig') }} {# Group Description #} {{ include('./subviews/survey/group_subviews/group_desc.twig') }} {# PRESENT THE QUESTIONS This is the main part. It will render each question for this group #} <!-- PRESENT THE QUESTIONS --> {% for aQuestion in aGroup.aQuestions %} {{ include('./subviews/survey/question_container.twig') }} {% endfor %} <!-- Hidden inputs --> {% if aGroup.show_last_group == true %} <input type='hidden' name='lastgroup' value='{{ aGroup.lastgroup }}' id='lastgroup' /> {% endif %} {% if aGroup.show_last_answer == true %} <input type='hidden' name='lastanswer' value='{{ aGroup.lastanswer }}' id='lastanswer' /> {% endif %} </div>

NOTE: if you edit the XML file of a theme, you must uninstall and reinstall the theme so it's taken into account.

NOTE: if you manually edit the CSS/JS files (without using the Teeme Editor), and if debug mode is off, you can now force the asset to be flushed. In "Global Settings", "General tab", click the button "Clear assets cache:"
