Hello everyone.

Is there any way to change the default survey list “start page”, i.e. when visiting survey.example.org/ without being logged in, to the login page?

It’s extremely confusing for students to see that there’s no surveys and to contact an administrator instead of being able to log in when visiting the domain of our survey.

Thank you very much for your help.

maybe this could be a solution:

account.limesurvey.org/de/limestore/extensiondetails/61/

Or simply edit the default survey theme twig files.

Thanks!

I’m not sure I find anything related to the login page in the theme editor; else I could maybe just replace the content of the survey list page (I think) with the content of the login page?

I don’t really know anything of Twig, so maybe this assumption is totally wrong, though.

Would be happy if you could and would want to help out.

Thank you, that sounds good, but the plugin is not compatible with the current version of LimeSurvey.

Maybe I can force that redirect via nginx, if LimeSurvey does not allow to do so …
   

  root /var/www/html;
  index index.php;

  location = / {
    root /var/www/html;
    index /admin/index.php;
  }

  location / {
    root /var/www/html;
    index index.php;
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
  }

  location ~ \.php$ {
    include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
  }

If you want to completely remove the survey list and force the redirect, replace the contents of layout_survey_list.twig with something like this:

Thank you very much!

If this is confusing (I assume they received the link to the admin login page at one point), I guess they shouldn't be at a university at the first place.
