I never use panel integration, I just rely on this - www.limesurvey.org/manual/URL_fields/en#...using_GET_parameters .
Cheers,
Tony Partner

I did use panel integration, but the manual gives only examples with passthru... so my panel provider followed it... now we omitted it but they still have a problem with their ID saving.... I do not know what it means, but it seems to me that is connected with the numbers at the end of the url encID=xxx

I don't want to test the end url with your file, because it directs to the panel provider already and I don't want my installation redirect to their actual links.

Your problem is that you are using the option of "always hide" in the GUI. This way the question does not appear in the source code and the ID can not be saved into the question. If you don't hide it, you'll see that the encID is saved into the "long text question" (I think a short text question would be better, but should work anyway), and it also gets passed through to the end URL. What you now need to do is to hide the encID quesiton via CSS (include the class "hidden" for this question). It will hide it from view, but it will allow LS to write into it.

Then the encID gets saved and also included into the endurl. Now you just need to set that the end url gets loaded automatically, at the moment it is just printed on the end page (maybe you just did that for testing purposes, but I thought I'd mention it anyway).
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).

Thanks a lot... but what do you mean by GUI? Could you provide a screenshot where is this option.
CSS class is hidden for encID question already.
Yes end url is not loaded automatically for testing purposes.

GUI = Graphical User Interface (the LS backend).

Just checked the manual again, because I thought that the panel integration should work with the "always hide" feature and according to the manual about panel integration, it actually should:

1) First, create a short/long text question and name it what ever you want (we will use "LS" for the Question code field). Then, enable the always hide this question option, located under the Display tab within the menu of the question.


Either your test survey is seriously messed up in some way, or there is a bug in the newer versions of LS.

:) Yes I know it is Graphical User Interface, but still do not understand what do you mean and where is this option... (I am using limesurvey platform, not desktop installation if that means anything)

Your question was "What do you mean by GUI?" and I answered.

In your (first?) LSS file that I downloaded and used you had set the "encID" question to "Always hide: ON" in the GUI, while Tpartner had set the css class for this question to "hidden", not using the "Always hide" feature. Here a screenshot on where to find both options:



When writing something to a question via Javascript, you usually can't hide the question via "always hide", because JS wouldn't have anything to write to.

But for other operations from within LS (e.g. with Expression Manager) this should not be a problem and you should be able to use the "always hide". That is also described in the manual for the panel integration. So it should work. But in your first lss which I tested it didn't. it only worked once the "always hide" was set to "off". So either there is another problem within your test survey, or this is a bug with LS.

I will try to setup my own clean test survey to give it a try and see what happens.

The GET URL parameter to hidden question should work with the "always hide" function. That was the way is was even before the panel integration function was available.

What does a complete URL look like, when it come from the panel provider?

No, filled with actual values. E.g.what is the maximal length of encID?

This part looks quite unusual: [317950][0]

The attached LSS export is containing bugs. Was the export the final version?
There are missing variables and other bugs.
Might be totally unrelated to the URL issue, but I don't want to waste time.

The panel integration of the survey is containing this:


That isn't matching the entry URL you showed:

I searched a bit with the URL and this seems to be some code (for the survey probably) from the panel, because other links from them looked the same (there are quite a few questions in the soci survey forum).
