I'm trying to find the best solution to connect the platform to our event ticketing application.
Each time a customer goes to purchase an event ticket, they will be allowed to complete a survey later. To access the survey, they will need to use the ticket serial number.
1. When purchasing, we can easily add the participant with add_participants.
2. When canceling the ticket in our app, the participant must be deleted in Lime Survey. However, the API function delete_participants needs the participant's tid (not the token). This gives me the impression that I must first retrieve the list of all survey participants with the API, find the participant with the token linked to the ticket serial number, retrieve the tid, then call the function delete_participants with the tid.
Isn't there a more efficient way to sync all this?
Note : I could also periodically remove all unused participants from the survey, then send the new list of participants, but I would like to be able to do the synchronization with each transaction so that it is as much as possible in real time and using the minimum of ressources.
The list_participants() function can be filtered by the token value:
Code:
<?phprequire_once'jsonRPCClient.php';define('LS_BASEURL','http://pathTo/limeSurvey');define('LS_USER','admin');define('LS_PASSWORD','password');$iSurveyID=123456;if(ctype_alnum($iSurveyID)&&(strlen($iSurveyID)==5||strlen($iSurveyID)==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 sessionecho$sSessionKey['status'];}elseif($sSessionKey){// Valid session// Filter by token value$aConditions=array('token'=>'123456789');// Get the filtered participants$participants=$myJSONRPCClient->list_participants($sSessionKey,$iSurveyID,0,10,false,false,$aConditions);// Print the resultsecho'<ul>';foreach($participantsas$key=>$value){echo'<li>';print_r($value);echo'</li>';}echo'</ul>';}// Release the session key$myJSONRPCClient->release_session_key($sSessionKey);}else{// Invalid SID formatdie('Invalid format!');}?>

Interesting! I suppose the filter by token value allow you to only get one participant? Is there any way to get a list of participants from a list of tokens? The idea is if a user cancel 100 event tickets, I don't want to do this operation 100 times, but just one.
I suppose I need to get all the participants from Lime Survey then filter it on the application side, right?
