i checked the manual, didn't find this part.

Hi,


Maybe something here :
- www.limesurvey.org/manual/Creating_a_new....28URL_parameters.29
- www.limesurvey.org/manual/URL_fields#Pas...rvey_2.x_or_later.29

Create a short text question and call it what ever you want. (Lets just say we gave it "SurveyId" for a question code)

Under the panel integration tab in general settings click "add url parameter"

Call it something like "VariableSurveyId". (What ever name you pick for this will be included in the entry link you will supply to your panel provider.)

After you give it a name, under target select the short text question you made previously and click save so that popup closes then click save again so the whole thing saves.

Now you will need to set up your entry link, it will look something like this.

yourdomain.com/index.php/survey/index/si...ableSurveyId=xxxxxxx

To get your link just click the execute survey button, copy and modify the href so it has the /en?VariableSurveyId=xxxxxxx at the end.

What ever you replace the "xxxxxxx" with will be grabbed and stored in the short free text question when your respondent lands on that page. Make sur eyou disable the welcome page though and let them land on that first page with the short free text question.

You can set up as many of these your panel providers needs. When it comes to forwarding the panel members back to the provider just take their link and put the {INSERTANS} or {SurveyId.shown} in where they need the id and set up an auto forward with it.

Hi,
I tried to insert the respondent id in the end URL. Nor {INSERTANS} neither {SurveyId.shown} worked.

Which respondent ID are you talking about? I assume the one that the panel provider is giving you, right? First you need to pass this id via URL into a question within your questionnaire and then you can pass it on to the end URL.

You should just have to add your panel integration options (example img below).




The example above uses the variable "example" and it stores it in a q1b short free text question.

You entry link will look something like:

/example.com/index.php/survey/index/sid/123456/lang/en/example/storingThisString OR

/example.com/index.php/survey/index/sid/123456/lang/en?example=storingThisString

Your end url would look something like this https://example.com?example={q1b.NAOK}

Bigred01, thanks for your reply! I do have panel integration set up. Still won't work.
I've tried to unhide the q1b question and manually copy the respondent id provided by the site which hosts the panel and then it works. So it seems that my trouble is either getting LimeSurvey to read the number which appears at the end of the survey URL ("example" as you named it), or automatically transferring it to the content of q1b.

Can you attach a test survey export with your current setup? I'll have a look and see where the issue is.

I'm attaching the survey structure here.
Thanks again!

I don't see any issues with your current setup.


I was able to use:

/mylimedomain.ca/index.php/survey/index/sid/336718/newtest/Y/lang/en/uid/test


The data stored fine in the question "SurveyId" and the end url populated with my entry data string of "test".


Have you tried both ../uid/XXXXXX and ?uid=XXXXX (or &uid=XXXXX if ?= is already used)?


What version of lime are you using?

It turns out the issue was I wasn't copying the right entry URL. I was copying the survey URL form the survey summary page, when in fact I should have been copying the link which appear when previewing/ executing the survey.
Your example helped me figure this out, so I'm very grateful! Thanks!

Hello. Apologies for adding to an older thread but I wanted to ask about this issue below:

I have a survey in Version 2.05 (I think) that uses a URL parameter similar to this. I have always linked my surveys using the URL on the main page and looking like this - https://surveyhub/cfsls/index.php/398749/lang-en?UI=test1
No issue. The userid is recorded and copied into another survey participants are re-directed to.

But in version 2.59 which I just transferred onto, I have to use the full link like this https://surveyhub/prodls200/index.php/survey/index/sid/42375/newtest/Y/lang/en/UI/test2

I copied the old survey onto the new platform and had a headache for weeks trying to work out why my URL parameter was no longer working. It was only this thread that pointed me to the issue.

Could someone please explain to me why I now need to use the longer URL?
Why is it that now this link won't work? - https://surveyhub/prodls200/index.php/42375?lang=en?UI=test3


Thank you.

edit - ignore the surveyhub in the URL. Just hiding the host platform I am using.
