Hi all,

I want to show a fake URL in browser, how can I do this? I tried to use history.pushState at index.php page, it is success, but when I submit the answer, it can't save my result. Is there any solution or method to this ? Thanks.

My environment setting:
Limesurvey 2.5
PHP 5.5 with Linux
MYSQL

What is a "fake URL"? Sounds dodgy. What is it needed for?

Sometimes called Pseudo URL. Mostly something like this is meant:
html5demos.com/history/

Very funny when you bookmark them. The whole idea of the URL thrown under the bus.

Thanks jelo to answer what is this.

Hi holch,
I need to prevent respondents to retake the survey again with same key, I know we can use token options, but I haven't manpower to maintenance, it is because I have over 1K cases / services per day and I need their feedback after service.

My idea is:
the physical link is " abc.com/limesurvey/123456?serviceId=88889 "
the web link show at browser is " abc.com/servicesurvey/ "
So that, user do not know my parameter and survey id, even if they use back and forward buttons in browser.

But what will that help?
If I can reach abc.com/limesurvey/123456?serviceId=88889 also via abc.com/servicesurvey/ I can just use that link and try it again...

I think the best use is still tokens and some kind of API automation.

Quickest way : use a javascript redirect on welcome page
More clean way : use a plugin (for example) to redirect to the survey with prefilled session value.
