Hello.

I have a situation where because of various security issues, I need to alter the token after a user enters it into the form so that when Limesurvey checks the participants database table the result passes and grants access to the survey.

I need to convert a password that contains spaces to one without spaces, as limesurvey does not allow spaces in passwords, yet because of the population I'm surveying, we need easy-to-remember passwords, i.e., words separated by spaces.

I'm thinking something in the form submissions should work but am hesitant to change that because of potentially catastrophic results.

Thank you.

Try placing something like this before the final {% endblock %} tag in /upload/themes/survey/yourThemeName/views/subviews/logincomponents/token.twig:

Thanks Tony, I'll try that.

By the way for anyone viewing this thread - Tony worked on a project I'm developing freelance and did an excellent job! Very professional, on-time and very reasonable price.

If you need a professional LimeSurvey consultant, please consider him.

Aw shucks, thanks. :blush:

Having difficulty finding that twig file. At:
/var/www/html/limesurvey/upload/themes/survey
I only see:

extends_bootswatch extends_bootswatch_checkbox extends_SklVanilla extends_vanilla_for_voices generalfiles index.html SklVanilla

but under "General Settings" my template is listed as "Vanilla" - not SklVanilla, Extends or otherwise. . .

It was located in:

/var/www/html/limesurvey/themes/survey/vanilla/views/subviews/logincomponents/token.twig

not

/upload/themes/survey/yourThemeName/views/subviews/logincomponents/token.twig:

and more importantly the script you suggested works perfectly!

Thanks again!

I don't recommend modifying the core themes - they will be over-written on updating.

Extend a core theme as described here - www.limesurvey.org/manual/New_Template_System_in_LS3.x and then modify the file in the extended theme.

Okay, thanks for the tip. I've extended and am now using that one but the /var/www/html/limesurvey/upload/themes/survey/extends_vanilla/views/subviews/logincomponents/ directory is empty. Am I supposed to also copy over that core directory files when extending?

Yes, you will need to copy the token.twig file from the vanilla theme.

You can either copy it via FTP into /upload/themes/survey/extends_vanilla/views/subviews/logincomponents/ or you can use the theme editor to create a copy.
