hi

the question is: ¿how can i restrict the limesurvey to allow questions to users that already are in some database?

thanks in advance.

Use a non-anonymous survey with tokens. Populate the tokens table with the necessary data exported from your other database, if necessary.

Regards.

Your description as rather vague. Can you please describe your problem in more detail?
What do you do exactly?

hi. sorry if the text is vague.

to my university i want to make a survey only to students, and only to teachers, and they are in a databases. the question is, how can i do that? how can i connect limesurvey with the database to do the survey only for teachers or only for students?
(also, this same situation is if a want to do surveys in schools, universities, government, etc, and each situation maybe with differents database systems.)

¿the tokens is the solution?

thanks in advance.

thanks! the tokens seems that it is the answer but ¿is the only way?

Token is the only and therefore best way to do this. Just create a user yourself and export this user to a .csv file to see which data format limesurvey uses. Then you can write a script to export data from your other database and import this data into the limesurvey tokens table.

Keep in mind to use a raw text editor because using excel results in problems because excel changes the internal data format.

ok mazi, lots of thanks

i go to the wiki to learn about tokens.
