Hi,
I'm using limesurvey v.4.2.
My mistake.
Usually our first question is "which version?"
But I assumed that you were not using 4.x. in a productive environment. We do not recommend this as 4.x still has too many bugs.
So I talked about 3.x.
And the missing config.xml
Once I only took a config.xml of another plugin (also DenisChenu) and adapted it.
You see it doesn't contain anything important except the compatibility
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>
<metadata>
<name>arrayTextAdapt</name>
<type>plugin</type>
<creationDate>2016-06-06</creationDate>

<version>3.0</version>
</compatibility>
</config>
I will have a look regarding 4.x.
I really need this plugin, is there any alternative in case it is not compatible?
The procedure without plugin is easy, but of course with plugin it's more comfortable.
The respondents enter their names and email address (by the way, don't you know their names if you have their student ID?)
After the first wave you export the data, merge ID, name and email (easy done in EXCEL) and you have a participants table with all information which you upload again.
In the second wave you may prefill these fields in the survey, so the respondents only have to enter changes. Let the survey check if there was changed something.
Then you only need to update changed records.
