The feature submission is currently not a curated process.

Even when asking for a agreement to do a pull request … for a new feature.

And now : you understand why i think plugin is better (and adding a good plugin event is the best way)

07405 (admin login ssl, not forced for public) : easy to do in plugin

The threadstarter submitted a feature request.

Thanks - I posted it on Mantis just now. Hope it's in the right place now.

Two notes:
1 - a bing search for "limesurvey feature requests" returns this page:
www.limesurvey.org/community/feature-requests - and that's a 404.

2 - the thing I'm using Lime for here really needs a plugin. I noticed Denis's .sig and sent him an email asking if he wanted to help with this but he has not responded. Is there a developer forum where people discuss plugin opportunities versus either kludgy survey setups (what I'm doing now to address the U's problem) or adding a generalized capability directly to Lime?

The LimeSurvey GmbH is changing the website from time to time. The forum was moved to a subdomain forums.limesurvey.org/forum , so there are many URLs broken. The new website seems to be developed under community.limesurvey.org/

Denis is an independent developer. I'm not sure how he should help you and if you want to hire him.

Forumsections are available. It depends on what you want to do. You might take look at
forums.limesurvey.org/forum/development and forums.limesurvey.org/forum/plugins .

An email ?
Or a contact form ?

What date ?

In general i answer … sometimes to say "sorry : no time" …

Hi:
Having now spent more time reviewing the manual etc I am almost sure of two things:

1 - there probably is a way to do what I want but I don't know what it is; and,

2 - the best approach may be a plugin.

Since your bio says you do plugins can we have an off-line conversation (rudy at winface.com ) about that?

==
What I want to do is:
1 - avoid creating anything requiring local maintenance
2 - automate as much of the process as possible
3 - start with a list of classes: Term, University course ID (number), Faculty course ID (number), Course Name (50), Section ID, Instructor first/last names ; where Term is a date grouping like "Spring 2020". (Usually 300+ classes per term)
4 - foreach class a list of: students: first/last name, student email (usually 20+)
5 - email each student a questionaire with class id info (3 above) preloaded as the answer to a hidden question (I think, better idea??)
6- generate an email to the instructor giving the names of students whose email address failed (bounced or missing)
7- output basic stats for the class response and a csv file containing class responses and faculty wide averages (but blank out those where there are 3 or fewer responses)
8 - preserve anonymous response throughout

I believe I can do all but #8 by adding five attributes to the participants table so something like {token:term} will work (am I right?) but that seems to give up on response anonymity. Is a plugin creating a new table the right answer? or something simpler possible?

I have refined the requirement since and have been exploring the code a bit to see how hard this might be and it doesn't look too bad - however:

1 - I don't have the skills or adequate knowledge of the code base to do it quickly; and,

2 - I am inclined to think that adding the required functionality to the core product may be both easier and smarter - particularly with respect to maintenance.

My email : contact@sondages.pro

1 - avoid creating anything requiring local maintenance

? You can not create a system without maintenance. It's impossible.

3 - start with a list of classes: Term, University course ID (number), Faculty course ID (number), Course Name (50), Section ID, Instructor first/last names ; where Term is a date grouping like "Spring 2020". (Usually 300+ classes per term)
4 - foreach class a list of: students: first/last name, student email (usually 20+)
5 - email each student a questionaire with class id info (3 above) preloaded as the answer to a hidden question (I think, better idea??)

Seems totally unrelated to log here.

7- output basic stats for the class response and a csv file containing class responses and faculty wide averages (but blank out those where there are 3 or fewer responses)
8 - preserve anonymous response throughout

Contradiction …

1 - I don't have the skills or adequate knowledge of the code base to do it quickly; and,

Then don't try to search how to do : explain what you want with clear sentence.

2 - I am inclined to think that adding the required functionality to the core product may be both easier and smarter - particularly with respect to maintenance.

See the previous 1 … and clerarly : a lot of things you put are totally unrelated to Survey …
