Hi everyone.

I would like to use a survey's URL to pass data to a prefilled answer field.

So, what i need exactly is this:

1 - Send to survey users an URL with an additional parameter, such as &ticket_number=123456
2 - Collect this ticket_number=123456 by using php's $_REQUEST array
3 - Make the HTML 'value' parameter of an answer field just exactly as $_REQUEST

All of the above is relatively easy to code on PHP, but the big problem is: questions and survey's are so dynamic in limesurvey that i don't have any clue on which file must be edited to accomplish that third step (change HTML input default value).

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You can pass data to a survey question without editing any code. It works similar to the end URL feature, check docs.limesurvey.org/tiki-index.php?page=...ation_amp_Navigation

If you have a short text question with ID 333 in group ID 22 of survey 12345 you can add this to the survey URL:
...&12345X22X333=<ticketnumber>

Hey Mazi. Thanks a lot, it worked like a charm.

You're welcome!

Hi all.

What if I would pass the value of an answer (I think it an be called a dynamic value pass) to the survey URL?

In example, if 66462X4X3 is the source value of survey 66462 and I want it to pass as my dynamic <ticketnumber>, I should write something like this:

...&12345X22X333={66462X4X1}
or
...&12345X22X333={INSERTANS:66462X4X1}

But as default value of the 12345X22X333 question, I got respectively
66462X4X1
or
Errore(66462X4X1)

Is it possible to pass dynamic values?
Any help appreciated!

According to the documentation, you have to use {INSERTANS:66462X4X1}.

But if {INSERTANS:66462X4X1} is not set or is empty, then you have Error({INSERTANS:66462X4X1}) becaus to not have :

index.php?myvar={INSERTANS:66462X4X1}&myvar2={INSERTANS:66462X4X2} becoming

index.php?myvar=&myvar2=



PS : you can use the HTML editor to know exactly the SGQA code.
