Copy_survey working properly in json/rpc? was created by jsibley
Hi,
I've been able to test a number of remotecontrol calls using Postman, but have been unsuccessful getting copy_survey to work. This is the json body I am testing:
{
"method": "copy_survey",
"id": " ",
"params": {
"sSessionKey" : {{SessionKey}},
"iSurveyID_org" : {{SurveyID}},
"sNewname" : "copy1"
}
}
Of course, I have set SessionKey and SurveyID. These parameters seem to fit the documentation, unless I have misread something. The result back is:
{"id":" ","result":null,"error":null}
Any thoughts on why this might not be working?
Thanks.

I can't speak to Postman but the PHP example below works fine in version 3.4.3. This indicates the there is no bug in the API.
Code:
<?php require_once 'jsonRPCClient.php'; define( 'LS_BASEURL', 'http://pathTo/limesurvey'); define( 'LS_USER', 'admin' ); define( 'LS_PASSWORD', 'password' ); $iSurveyID_org = 123456; $sNewname = 'Copy of survey 123456'; if(ctype_alnum($iSurveyID_org) && strlen($iSurveyID_org == 6)) { // Valid SID format // Instantiate a new RPC client $myJSONRPCClient = new jsonRPCClient( LS_BASEURL.'/index.php/admin/remotecontrol' ); // Get a session key $sSessionKey= $myJSONRPCClient->get_session_key( LS_USER, LS_PASSWORD ); if(is_array($sSessionKey)) { // Invalid session echo $sSessionKey['status']; } else if($sSessionKey) { // Valid session // Copy survey $newSurvey = $myJSONRPCClient->copy_survey($sSessionKey, $iSurveyID_org, $sNewname); // Print results print_r($newSurvey); } // Release the session key $myJSONRPCClient->release_session_key( $sSessionKey ); } else { // Invalid SID format die( 'Invalid format!' ); } ?>

Thank you, I think I am a step closer.
I hadn't noticed that the survey ID needs to be an integer, not a string. If I'm not mistaken, some of the other api calls accept the survey ID as an integer or a string (or, perhaps, this is a Postman issue).
In any case, I am now seeing this message:
{"id":" ","result":null,"error":null}
I'm not seeing a copy of the survey, but it seems like a step in the right direction.
Any thoughts about what might be going on. I assume that error being null is a good thing, but what might get in the way of actually making the copy?
Thank you.

I'm not sure why you're getting that as a response.
As far as I know, the should be an array:
- status
- error (if status != OK)
- newsid (if status == OK)
So, this response for a successful copy:

Thank you so much, and my apologies. I took a look at my version of the code and realized that it is time for me to update! A lot seems to have changed in the api code since the version I have been using.
Thanks again.

How are we supposed to answer that without knowing your LimeSurvey version or what you have done.
Did you try the attached example script?

I am not familiar with AJAXing directly to remote control but it seems to me that "params" should be an array.
Did you try AJAXing to a PHP/jsonRPC script as my example?
