Change 'Valid Until" date for all Tokens of an active survey

Change 'Valid Until" date for all Tokens of an active survey was created by Effenberg0x0
Hi,

I had to extend the expiry date of a survey (in survey settings). However, users still see the survey expired message when they try to access using the the tokens they got via email, because each token "Valid Until" date would have to be adjusted (all are expired).

It's more than 5,000 tokens... Editing one by one would take a lifetime.

Is there any way I can fix this?

Thanks!
Effenberg

You can export the token table, edit the CSV file and re-import the tokens. Make sure you have a complete back-up first and edit the file with a decent tool like LibreOffice Calc.

... or use a SQL query if you can access the database:
Code:
UPDATE `lime_tokens_12345` SET `validuntil`= "2020-01-01 00:00:00"
Where "12345" is your survey ID

Export Tokens CSV / Edit / Import CSV:
Limesurvey won't update existing tokens if I import the edited CSV. The procedure would have to be:
- Export tokens CSV;
- Delete tokens table. Limesurvey says the survey will not require tokens for access from now on;
- Edit CSV;
- Create new empty tokens table;
- Import edited CSV;
- Check whether settings to require tokens for access persisted;
- Pray things still work and tokens are still associated to existing complete/partial responses.
I am not a particularly lucky person, I think it would probably destroy the survey beyond repair if I proceeded, so I did not.


SQL Query:
Worked like a charm!

Thank you guys!

That sounds like a feature request. But even if replacement would be possible, we need
a) a maintenance screen or/and
b) a selection column replacement

During exporting and modifying the CSV-tokenlist the survey goes on. What if something has changed during that timespan (e.g. Usages left changed)?
The importmode should be allowing replacement, partial replacement and appending.

Waiting for some enhancements, following SQL queries/syntaxes remain useful for users needing to update their [lime]_tokens[12345] table...
Code:
UPDATE `lime_tokens_12345` SET `usesleft` = '999' UPDATE `lime_tokens_12345` SET `usesleft` = '999' WHERE `tid` < 10 UPDATE `lime_tokens_12345` SET `validfrom`= "2017-01-01 00:00:00" UPDATE `lime_tokens_12345` SET `validfrom`= "2017-01-01 00:00:00" WHERE `tid` < 10 UPDATE `lime_tokens_12345` SET `validuntil`= "2020-01-01 00:00:00" UPDATE `lime_tokens_12345` SET `validuntil`= "2020-01-01 00:00:00" WHERE `tid` < 10 UPDATE `lime_tokens_12345` SET `completed`= "Y" UPDATE `lime_tokens_12345` SET `completed`= "Y" WHERE `tid` < 10
