Hi,
why do you ask this question about your limer issue again?

Hi Joff.
The 2 questions are different: in the post you refer to I'm asking for the reason of an error, here I'm simply asking if someone is using the package with the new release of Limesurvey, to verify if they are compatible...
Tx for your work

Manlio

The 2 questions are different:

Not really... ;-)

And this second question could simply be asked in addition on the same post. I don't think many use Limer and of those that do, few are in the forum on a regular basis. I think the best chance to get feedback is to get in contact with the people who develop Limer.

Help us to help you!

Provide your LS version and where it is installed (own server, uni/employer, SaaS hosting, etc.).
Always provide a LSS file (not LSQ or LSG).

We (Respondage) use it to make online reports like this:
reporting.toolsforresearch.com/project/d...VF&id=128&sid=863547

The php file calls an R script that calls several RMarkdown scripts. All is based on data that is collected from a LimeSurvey 5.3.26 instance:
vragenlijst.digiscanbouw.nl/index.php/86...t=Y&lang=nl-informal

No problems using Limer, but I believe my business partner did tweak something. I'll ask him.

We did not tweak limer for LS 5.3. We had to tweak it for older versions like v2.

@migliorati Your issue at github.com/cloudyr/limer/issues/58 states that get_session_key is not working and returns an error.
My gut feeling is that it is an error in your RPC2 config. Did you check if it works with a direct call? For instance in PHP:

Code:

        define('ROOT', '/path/to/lsroot/');
        require_once ROOT . 'application/libraries/jsonRPCClient.php';
        define( 'LS_USER', 'reporter' );
        define( 'LS_PASSWORD', 'verysecret' );
        // instantiate a new client
        $myJSONRPCClient = new JsonRPCClient( 'https://example.com/index.php/admin/remotecontrol' );
        // receive session key
        $sSessionKey = $myJSONRPCClient->get_session_key( LS_USER, LS_PASSWORD );
        echo $sSessionKey;

Hi guys, and tx so much for your replies.
I solved the problem, and here I'm describing MY experience.
The R limer package, in the release you can find on github, doesn't work with limesurvey 5.6
What I had to do was to modify:
- function get_session_key: the original implementation refers the field"admin" that seems has been erased in ver. 5.6. I guessed to use the field"username", instead, and it works
- to modify the management of the session_key to correctly use it in function "call_limer"
After these 2 modifications, my call was working.
TX again

Strange. This has not been changed in limer since the introduction 7 year ago:
github.com/cloudyr/limer/blame/4e0f7c571...et_session_key.R#L13
We are using this and it is stil working in LS 5.3.26+220720

Code:

options(lime_api = 'https://example.com/index.php/admin/remotecontrol')
options(lime_username = 'reporter')
options(lime_password = 'verysecret')
session_key <- get_session_key()
lsquestions <- call_limer(method="list_questions", params = list(iSurveyID = SID))

Last edit: 2 years 9 months ago by Jane. Reason: Add lime_api option & detailed LS version

In the params list of the body_json it is defined the param "admin"
In my case, with limesurvey 5.6, invoking get_session_key I have a fail with http status 500.
changing it from "admin" to "username" the call works

Current version of LimeSurvey is 5.3.28.

Where did you download version 5.6?

We do not send a body_json. We just put the lime_username and lime_password in the options:
github.com/cloudyr/limer/blob/4e0f7c5713..._session_key.R#L4-L5

#' @param username LimeSurvey username. Defaults to value set in \code{options()}.
#' @param password LimeSurvey password Defaults to value set in \code{options()}.

As from subject and all the thread, it is a typo. We are talking about 5.3
