Copy_survey working properly in json/rpc?

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.

It has been 2 months, does "copy_survey" work for anyone using json?

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', 'https://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:

Code:
Array ( [status] => OK [newsid] => 234567)

And, this response for an unsuccessful copy:

Code:
Array ( [status] => Copy failed [error] => Invalid survey ID )

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?

Thanks for the reply,

currently used lime survey version 2.63.1 + +170305

We have the comfort update for 3.0.0-RC.3 (171113) version in our lime survey dashboard it will not taken yet.

Code:

function copySurvey() {

$.ajax({
async: true,
crossDomain: false,
url: "https://<survey domain name>/index.php/admin/remotecontrol",
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
data: JSON.stringify({
method: 'copy_survey',
params: {'' + lssessionKey + '', 123434, 'copysurveydescription'},
id: 1
}),
cache: false,
headers: {
'content-type': 'application/json',
},
success: function(data) {
console.log(data);
},
error: function(data) {
console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
}
});
}

Please help in which version "copy_survey" will work

Thanks

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?
