Hello everyone, i'm a new limesurvey user and was trying to integrate limesurvey with a custom javascript script that tracks the user's mouse movement.
My issue is when i try to associate this custom data with the survey data, specifically a survey record.
When i look into the database i can see that each survey has a series of records with an id, it would be great if i could use this id as a foreign key in my custom data. How can i have access to this id while the user is taking the survey? Is that possible? Does anyone have a better solution?
Thank you, another quick question, under what scope do i have access to {SAVEDID} ? What i'm currently doing is making a custom theme where i added a <script> tag in the question page. When i try to for example console.log({SAVEDID}) it does not print the id, it prints {SAVEDID}. Sorry if it's a stupid question but i'm a total beginner.
You should be able to use {SAVEDID} anywhere in your survey to display it.
I have no ID with Javascript, but I have heard that LS only recognizes EM code in JS code if you leave a space before the code. So you could try this.
I probably would write the {SAVEDID} into a equation type question and hide it via CSS (not via the GUI "Always hide this question", because JS can't access it then).
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).

You will need to wrap {SAVEDID} in quotes as it is not a JavaScript variable.
Thank you for your reply but this does not seem to work, it just prints {SAVEDID}.
Just to be clear i am putting this code in the question.twig page of my custom theme.
I'm doing this because i want this code to be applied to all questions of all surveys that use this theme.
Is this the wrong approach?
