Hi,

I use tokens for my survey (I add them to the survey URL) and "token based response persistence" is turned on. It doesn't seem to work correctly.

Let me explain: I got 4 question groups (pages) in my survey. Let's say I answer all questions on page 1,2 and 3 and then I use my survey link again (with the same token). I would assume that I would return to page 3, but I return to page 2. If I now use the link again I get to page 1! Now I don't want people to change what they already answered on page 1 and page 2, but because of this issue they now can. I need to use tokens and I do want people to be able to get back to page 3 and 4.

Shouldn't it return to the last page viewed? I don't allow people to jump back (there are no "back" buttons), but this way they can. How can I fix this?

It will return to the last page saved (pressed a button), because Limesurvey can't save what hasn't been submitted yet.

Hi,

Maybe you can find a way to use a plugin to set the step according to some conditions. Take inspiration here : framagit.org/SondagePro-LimeSurvey-plugi...r/fixMaxStep.php#L85

If you think it's a bug and you use the last LimeSurvey version : report a bug.

Thanks holch, but page 3 was saved (submitted) the first time. Now if I use the URL again it takes me to page 3 - this means that if I use the URL again without saving it takes me to page 2 (because page 3 wasn't saved this time). I think it shouldn't overwrite what already has been saved when nothing on page 3 was changed by me. Why delete all the answers on page 3? I guess that is just how the system works....

Thanks Denis, but I'm not sure how to use that. I think I need to learn more first....

I think I got a solution to this problem, but I need some help with the code.

Could I insert another page/questiongroup between page 2 and 3 that only contains one hidden question (list, radio). The question result is defaulted to the value "user" and if the value is "user" (which it always will be by default) it will autosubmit/click the next button so the next page will load instantly. This way it will act as a "wall" between page 1+2 (that I don't want the users to change) and page 3+4 (that they are allowed to return to). The inserted javascript in the question will autosubmit automatically so I guess this hidden question/questiongroup wouldn't really be visible to the users (at least, that is what I am hoping for - they might see a quick page jump...)

I know how to hide the question via javascript, but how do I make it press the next button automatically, whenever the answer to the hidden question is "user"? I want to be able to change the answer for the hidden question (by prefilling the hidden question with the use of my own version of the users URL to the survey), so the default value changes from "user" to "admin" - this will prevent the whole autosubmit thing and remove the restrictions for me (it would be useful in case I need to change one of the results for a user on page 1-2).

Any suggestions how that javascript would look like? In summary:

1. Hide question.
2. Autosubmit if question result is "user"
3. Do nothing if question result is "admin"

Something like this in the source of the question should do the trick (untested as I'm writing on my phone):

Thanks Tony! Sorry for my delayed response - everything takes a long time here

At first I couldn't make it work at all, but it worked fine after adding a }); at the end and after changing the input.text to input.radio. Little detail (you did say it was untested), but I thought I should mention it if someone else should use your code. Thanks for writing all that on your phone, I wish I was that good!

Btw. I realize that it is very easy to bypass javascript so that the above code won't prevent some of the more advanced users from accessing page 1+2 later on. Do you have any ideas how I can prevent that? I guess I can't really hide or encrypt javascript.... but are there any other options that you know of?

Thanks again! Every forum should have someone like you. I can see that you have helped many people here.

Hi,

I have no idea if it can work but :
- put 1==2 in the relevance equation of the question added with javascript.

Then we have :
- Step 1 : the first group
- Step 2 : a group with a question never shown
- Step 3 : 2n group
- Step 4 : a group with a question never shown
- Step 5 : 3rd group

If an user closes his browser at step 5, when he come back : limesurvey put step to 4 : no question => go to next step : the 5 ; 3rd group.

If it work : it's done in PHP , not in javascript.

ajax call support ? :laugh:

Thanks Denis, it works!

I'm happy for both options. I will use the javascript from Tony somewhere else. So many things you can do with javascript... I need to learn how to code like a pro.

LimeSurvey is so great - thanks to all!

Huh? I think you misunderstood me - your solution is great and solved my problem.

Thanks again Denis
