Hi everyone,
I just started with Limesurvey (like about 6 hours ago). I really enjoy the fact that it is user-friendly enough for me to get surveys up and running in such a short time. Great job!
I have what might be a basic question. I'm soliciting survey participants without email invitations. We have a live event we're attending where we'd like to pass out post cards with a url and unique code. The idea is to use the code to prevent people from taking the survey more than once. That sounds like a job for tokens. But I'm having a hard time figuring out how to set up a landing page where the participant can enter a token (dummy token I guess) in order to gain entry to the survey.
I'd also like to collect and email address and other information at the end of the survey, but I figured I'd just use the End URL function to bounce them to a general opt-in page outside of Limesurvey.
Is there a common way to set up that token validation page without using email invitations?
Thanks for your help and thanks for the terrific software!

I never used it this way, but if you have a closed survey with tokens and people access the URL of the survey, Limesurvey should ask for the token straight away.

Here what it looks like:





What you can also do is to include the token directly in the URL:
www.limesurvey.org/manual/Tokens#A_tip_f...de_the_token_already

Your only problem now will be to print post cards with individual token codes. But I guess you have a solution for this already.

Thanks for the fast response. The first option is perfect for me and works well when I test it. Is there a wiki or help page that describes how I can add introduction text and additional HTML to this?

I am not quite sure if it is possible.

If you are using Limesurvey only in one language you might be able to look for a template file (if there is one) and introduze your text there.

But usually this text will come from the language files, which means you would need to make a new "translation" (if you change the translation of an existing language every update can revert your changes).

...how I can add introduction text and additional HTML to this?

There is no template for that screen so you'll need to use JavaScript to modify it.

Something like this in template.js:
