issue with admin notifications - message too long?

issue with admin notifications - message too long? was created by Siem
I have created a large survey. The results of each survey is mailed to the examiner.
The code to calculate all scores is in the admin notification. This code is quite long. The whole notification is about 500 lines of HTML and Expression Manager code.

It works, but it seems that the whole notification message is too long for LimeSurvey, after about 62.800 characters / 113 lines. The editor will just cut in the middle of a line and ignore the rest (the rest doesn't get saved). After the line that is cut in the middle it will create valid HTML.
So my code that's missing a lot of lines ends up looking like this on the last few lines:
Code:
<td>{if((countif('A1',Q155,Q160,Q165,Q170,Q175,Q180,Q185,Q190,Q195,Q200,Q205,Q210,Q215,Q220)+countif('A2',Q71,Q72,Q73,Q74,Q75,Q146,Q147,Q148,Q149,Q150,Q221,Q222,Q223,Q224)+1)==4,"0","")} {if((countif('A</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

Is this a bug in LimeSurvey and is there any way around this or to fix this?

Thanks!

Maybe not a solution for the exact problem, but why not do the calculations directly in Limesurvey and just send the result? At the end of the day you have the total calculation already in database saved, which is good should something go wrong with sending the emails, etc.
Help us to help you!
  • Provide your LS version and where it is installed (own server, uni/employer, SaaS hosting, etc.).
  • Always provide a LSS file (not LSQ or LSG).

I tried this with a hidden equation question, but the same problem occurs.
I think the code is too long for the editor to save (maybe the database field used is too small).

Yes, I changed the "Use HTML format for token emails" to "No" and used the text-field to submit the my HTML / code.
After saving it is cut off at a certain point.

Yes I tried it with these settings ("disabled the Filter HTML for XSS setting" and in "Source Code Mode").

I think Denis means to try disabling the editor entirely:

Would it be possible to disable CKEditor & HTML completely, but for email only? In question text I do still want HTML...

I think a tab with html/plain which switches between the Editor and a simple form would work.

But is there a bugreport? The threads is months old. Did you run into an issue Tammo?

Hi Jelo, thanks for your respons. I am trying to send out a confirmation mail with a conditional text part at the end:

- - - -
Code:
Confirmation mail text (in HTML)
 
{if((pg12)=='N','<br/><br/>- - - -<br />Here I want to write some text and on the next line a link.<br />
<a href="https://www.toolsforresearch.com">Click here!</a><br /> - - - -',' ')}
- - - -
In HTML mail the the complete expression is sent out, not the calculated result of it. I tried 2.06, 2.50 and I am wondering what I am doing wrong.

Using inline editor, popup editor, all same result: expression is in the mail. When I switch to non-HTML mails, same result. Logged in as super admin.

Isn't that what the "pop-up" mode of the editor does? By default you see the source code view but can click the pencil icon to open the editor?!

tammo,

1. Always use ....NAOK when referring to certain questions. It is a safer version if responses can be empty.

2. Did you check for syntax errors?

3. Try removing "(" and ")" around "pg12":
{if(pg12.NAOK=='N','<br/><br/>- - - -...
