Hello everyone.

I'm a new Lime user (developer actually) and I need to create a light CATI plugin for LimeSurvey.
In order to do so I shall have to modify the DB structure (add a table or modify a pre-existing one) and I was wondering how this should be done so that when I have to update Lime and the DB it still works.

I looked around quite a bit and didn't find the answer to this question. The page on DB versioning seems to be for creating content for the core application rather than for plugins.

Limesurvey version : latest (at the moment 3.7)

Is there a way to keep this clean ?

Best regards,

Larry

You can create a table in plugin, API is ready for this. But more : you can directly use Yii

Simple way to create a table : gitlab.com/SondagesPro/reloadAnyResponse...AnyResponse.php#L267

After : if you create a plugin for 3.X : he must work on 3.X version. Can be broken in 4.0 version, but if you use only clean code (and not some hack like me …) then it can work after.

The second part of your answer was what I needed. I'll just try to write clean code then

Thank you for your time DenisChenu.
