Is possible to run limesurvey using one codebase, but across multiple directories?

For example: install Limesurvey at example.com/survey... But then have completely folders which dynamically operate as if they have an install in every folder ie example.com/Survey1 or example.com/Folder2/Survey2 that all just operate from one codebase. (Instead of having to have example.com/survey/Survey1).


This is to save on having and maintaining multiple installs of the same codebase.
 

You could use DNS / htaccess to redirect requests to certain folders to the "central" folder. Not sure if I understood you right.

What would be the advantage of having several folders for the surveys?

DNS can only be used for subdomains, not subdirectories.

I don't see any purpose to have different subdirectories rewritten to one installation. LimeSurvey is only able to serve one tenant.
One separate installation per tenant. There is no indication that this will be changed anytime soon.
 

Oh, so you think he is looking for a multitenant approach. Makes sense.

Regarding DNS: Yes, but at the end this could be a solution, having different subdomains redirecting to the same folder to mimic different installations. But of course, this doesn't help if multi tenant is what they want.

I'm wanting for surveys to be organised under different folders. so people can locate surveys relating to a different locations.

IE

Example.com/surveys/London
Example.com/surveys/London/engineer
Example.com/surveys/Paris

Etc

A redirect would work or I could use a some other software other than limesurvey to display all the URLs so people could look up the list of categories and directories.

There doesnt appear to be a url for Survey Groups... nor a way to list all the surveys by group on the home page

Survey Alias - www.limesurvey.org/manual/Text_elements/...as_.28New_in_5.5_.29

Thanks Tony, that helps a bit by giving it an alias. Probably it would be quite handy if surveys could be listed by their groups on the home page (or some other categorization) instead of just a list of all questions in one big list. (Forgive me if that's possible, but I didn't see a setting for that).

Until the home page survey list can split into groups, Im using other software to list the surveys by group to make it easier for users to find things
