Hi all

Version: 3.15.1

I'm really struggling to work out how to enable the registration form feature in Lime Survey, and searching the forum hasn't yielded a straight answer.

There doesn't seem to be a straight-forward "Require registration" option in the survey settings.

I've experimented with various options, and at one point, I accidentally managed to enable registration, so I made a note of those settings, but upon creating the "real" survey, applying the same settings does not cause the registration form to appear.

The settings that I'm currently using:

• Participant Settings ->
  • Enable token-based response persistence - off
  • Allow multiple responses or update responses with one token -> on
  • Allow public registration -> on
  • Use HTML format for token emails -> on
  • Send confirmation emails -> on


• Notification & Data ->
  • Enable assessment mode -> off
  • Participant may save and resume later - off
• 
  Publication & access ->
  • List survey publicly -> on
  • Set cookie to prevent repeated participation -> off
  • Use CAPTCHA for survey access -> off
  • Use CAPTCHA for registration -> on
  • Use CAPTCHA for save and load -> off

It feels like there should be a straightforward: "Require registration before survey - on/off" option, but it seems that there is a magic combination of the other settings to achieve this, which after days of testing, I still haven't discovered.

Many thanks,
Isaac

If there are a participant table : token code are required, and then you can allow 'register' or not.

Ah, I see!

I hadn't realised that the "Initialise participants table" part of survey activation was necessary, regardless of whether the survey was invitation-only, or self-registration.

I had assumed that it was only for invitation-only situations.

Many thanks for your help Denis
