==================

We have recently upgraded to version 5 and a previously working survey is now not working as expected.

We have a dynamic end url which sends the respondent to a further survey and uses the token to link the surveys. The End URL is set by a hidden question as there are a few options for redirection.

The answers to a hidden list question are along the lines of https://secondsurveyurl?token={TOKEN:TOKEN}&Q1={S1.NAOK} and https://secondsurveyurl?token={TOKEN:TOKEN}&Q1={S2.NAOK}

This has worked extremely well in the old v3.x versions but now the redirect is showing in the address bar as https://secondsurveyurl?token=&123;TOKEN:TOKEN&125;&Q1=&123;S1.NAOK&125;

As you can see it is putting in the html code for the {}'s and this is causing the URL redirect to fail.

I have tried to alter the answers to account for the html code and this doesn't work either.

Any ideas on why this is happening and what settings I need to change to make it work?

Thanks
Dave
 

I cannot reproduce this. Can you provide a small sample survey (.lss file)?

Thanks for the quick response Tony

This is a little more complex than passing from one survey to another .. it involves a PHP file that creates a token entry into the second survey file and a lot of variables that come from the survey.

I have narrowed it down to the string that is being passed to the PHP file not being passed correctly ...

This is what is coming back as the URL

https://surveylocation/newcar.php?t1={Recontact_1}&t2={Recontact_2}&t3={Recontact_3}&t4={TOKEN:TOKEN}&t5={CarInfo_1}&t6={CarInfo_2}&t7={FuelType.NAOK}&t8=2

and this is what is in the question answer that is being set to the answer and then being used as the End URL

https://surveylocation/newcar.php?t1={Recontact_1}&t2={Recontact_2}&t3={Recontact_3}&t4={TOKEN:TOKEN}&t5={CarInfo_1}&t6={CarInfo_2}&t7={FuelType.NAOK}&t8=2

As this is quite complex I will work on getting a modified lss file that reproduces this.

Did you try to create the end-url in an equation (myUrl) and enter in the end-url field only {myUrl}?

Hi Jofm

I have not tried doing that yet.

I will give it a go and report back

Using the equation that set the final short text box as the end URL worked.

Thanks
Dave
