Hello everyone, i'm developing a new plugin and its objective is the following:

When receing a new request to a custom route, create a new default if the user has the permissions to do so. Bonus points for being able to pass a few parameters to the route in order to make the survey a little dynamic (such as the title for instance). The objective is just to create a very simple survey without any questions, just the default configurations.

I've created a new route with the API's createUrl and the event NewDirectRequest . I now would like to create the survey upon receiving the request but i have not find anything in the API that does that. I also have not been able to fully understand how to pass parameters for routes created with NewDirectRequest.


Any help is appreciated, thank you very much.

I was able to do this by using the API's newModel and adding the surveys to the database by hand. You need to add two rows. One to the lime_surveys' table and another to the lime_surveys_languagesettings table. I'm still having some problems receiving parameters with the createUrl and NewDirectRequest methods though

I have a non public (for one year …) plugin with "auto generate survey", but i copy a survey (more easy).

And i directly use Yii model and existing LimeSurvey function. Not API

API is really poor …
For the other question : show your code.

Damn, thank you so very much. This was my original idea as well, but i wasn't able to implement it! I appreaciate the answer and specially the sharing of the code. Will try to replicate.

Another question though, do you know how i can create a POST request route? I've been searching Yii documentation but no luck, i've seen some stuff that should work, but it is not in the limesurevy envirnment. I'm not really that experienced with PHP and kind feel like a fish out of water. If you could just point me in the right direction it would be a huge help. I've only been able to create GET requests with:

You can't create a POST request route : you must create a form (and submit)

If this form is out of plugin : you can use www.limesurvey.org/manual/NewUnsecureRequest event (no CSRF control with this event)

PS : if you really need $_POST value (why ?) you can set it using pĥp too …


Remind :
LimeSurvey is on Yii is on PHP

Thank you very much, you've been quite helpful!
