Hi: i need some help. I’m trying to change either the expired survey message or the deactivated survey message. I created one enrollment survey per course in the institution where I work and I want to show users another message if they try to access any survey link while is closed or expired; something like “The enrollment survey is closed, please check out …”. It could be a better solution also to redirect to a specific Scholl web page section giving a special message or some choices.

I read this thread without success.

Thanks,

You have linked to another (old) thread but not explained what you have tried and how it failed. Also what is your LimeSurvey version?

Hi tpartner,

thanks for your quick reply. Im using "Versión 2.05+ Build 150520". Concerning the thread i particularly tried your suggestion (below) adapting the messages into my default language: Spanish. It didnt work out, but i insist, my code knowledge is limited. Do i have any chance to redirect users if surveys are inactivated or expired?

Thanks!

$(document).ready(function() {

if($('p#tokenmessage').length > 0 && $('#tokenform').length == 0) {
var stringIndex = $('p#tokenmessage').text().indexOf('Diese Umfrage ist beendet und steht nicht mehr zur Verfügung);
if(stringIndex >= 0) {
$('p#tokenmessage').html('This survey is CLOSED!<br /><br />Go away!');
}
}

});

I see a bug (a missing closing quote) in that code so it should be:
However, if using Spanish, you will need to replace the German string with whatever you see in Spanish. Probably this:
Having said that, if you want to redirect when the survey is closed instead of showing a custom message, try something like this (for Spanish):

Thanks tpartner. It works perfectly!

Hi this workaround works also in version 3? Where I have to put the instruction?

Thanks
Laura

The code would be placed in custom.js.

Which workaround? There are two given above.

I copy-paste the following in the custom.js of my theme:

$(document).ready(function() {
if($('p#tokenmessage').length > 0 && $('#tokenform').length === 0) {
var stringIndex = $('p#tokenmessage').text().indexOf('We are sorry but the survey is expired and no longer available');
if(stringIndex >= 0) {
window.location = " google.com ";
$('p#tokenmessage').html('This survey is CLOSED!<br /><br />You are being redirected to our website.');
}
}
});

And nothing happened in error message. I'm using english and Limesurvey 3.7.2.

Thanks a lot for any suggestion
Laura

Place something like this is custom.js:

Thanks, i paste this script in theme custom.js but nothing happened.
It's the right place?
Laura

Can you activate a test survey and give a link here?

Sorry, i cannot do that.
I'm not sure I putted the script in the right form: i did the following:
Configuration-->Advanced-->Themes
I choose the extended one i'm using for the survey and select Theme editor. Than I copied-pasted the script you provide me in the custom.js.
As I said before my expire message is always the same..
Hope this clarify a little
Thanks Laura

It may be a caching issue. Completely clear you cache before testing.

Try placing this simple alert in custom.js:

I cleared the cache and putted the alert in custom.js and I see the alert.
But the error custom message script is still not working

The workaround works for me. Unfortunately, I cannot debug your problem without seeing a test survey.
