Hi,
You installed limer, but you also have to load it:
library(limer)
.
options( etc )
.
.
get_session_key( )

In my experience limer works flawless
Success!

Success! If you are especially interested in report generation, the R package ReportRs will be very useful to you. With this package you can generate word or powerpoint reports in r.see davidgohel.github.io/ReporteRs/index.html I have generated hundreds of reports from limesurvey in this way.

R is incredibly flexible and has really nice plugins. If I would just get my head around how it works.... ;-)
Help us to help you!
  • Provide your LS version and where it is installed (own server, uni/employer, SaaS hosting, etc.).
  • Always provide a LSS file (not LSQ or LSG).
Note: I answer at this forum in my spare time, I'm not a LimeSurvey GmbH employee.
