while we run our module demo that will be reload the screen and display survey listing screen in ls3.

tried Demo Module URL:  github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/tree/4.4.0/modules
We used simple Module admin/HelloWorld on screen.

Thank you in advance.

The module directory was added in LS4. The feature is driven by the Yii-Framework, which is used in LS3 too. But I have never seen someone fiddling around adding them to LS3.

In LS5 the work continues:
github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/tree/master/modules

I find it hard to invest time in LS3 since it is fading out.

In 3.X : i dpon't think you can create custom screen.
Else about modules : never use it personnaly,
But you can find a lot of custom screen on my plugins : gitlab.com/SondagesPro

Hi jello
Modules are working for LS3.
But we did not get an example for that version.
we have LS4.4 and LS5 Modules example but that's not working in LS3.
Thanks For the URL but we already checked it.


Thank you Jelo

we use yii modules on a regular basis

create a standard yii module (hello) with gii (index.php/gii), password "toto"
in application/config/config.php add your modules configuration
call your module index.php/hello

you are using a LimeSurvey-Layout which you cannot use within your module. Define your own in yourModule/views/layouts/main.php

then in your Controller set

public $layout = 'main';

or within your Action

$this->layout = main;

or $this->layout = false; if you just want to display the view without being wrapped by a layout

furthermore I would set debug = 2 in your application/config/config.php
