Hello!

I have 3 different surveys I wish to distribute evenly, however I want to do so using the one link that randomly distributes my 3 survey to respondents.

I found this old topic on the forums where someone had the exact same query as myself:

forums.limesurvey.org/forum/can-i-do-thi...random-from-one-link

I am not sure where to enter the script that is mentioned in this forum and how to implement the recommendation.

I also found this in the manual:



I am not sure how to Create a new directory in my server. I am wondering if I need to upgrade from LimeSurvey Basic to LimeSurvey Expert to do this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance!

Both of those solutions require that you create a remote (outside of LimeSurvey) PHP file and place it on a web server. You will need a little PHP/HTML skill and access to the server.

Another solution would be to create a "redirection" survey and direct to one of the three surveys via End URL.

You can use Expression Manager to tailor the End URL based on a hidden equation question that generates a random number 1-3.

Hi tpartner,

In regards to your second suggestion, are you saying to create a new survey that has no contents, its URL will be the one you have provided and its sole purpose will be to redirect participants to my three surveys?

In regards to the URL you have provided, for this section: (random == 1, 111111, if(random == 2, 222222, 333333))}

for the 111111, 222222, 333333 etc, what text do I actually insert here? Is it the current URL's I have for each survey into that space?

Thank you

Liam

You could hide all content in the "redirection" survey and use JavaScript to click "Submit" but it would be easier to provide some text content and have the respondent click through to the following survey.

The example URL I provided is the End URL in the "redirect" survey. The 111111, 222222, 333333 are the survey IDs of your following surveys.
