multi page paperform - limesurvey integration

Asked by GavinErickson

I'm running quexf and limesurvey on ubuntu 16.04 / php 7 / mysql

I've created a form in limesurvey, activated it and then exported as pdf / banded xml

Imported into quexf, scanned in succesfully. however the limesurvey integration fails. I enable debugging which chucks out the following

Notice: Undefined variable: assoc in /var/www/quexf/functions/functions.output.php on line 104

I set up a couple of short one page test forms, one with a single text input and another with a text and also an array question, and the integration worked fine. I wondered if something is awry with the multiple page form integration? or have i made an error somewhere?

many thanks,

Gavin

Hi Gavin,

If it worked for one page test forms, my guess it is that there is a variable name that is not being correctly interpreted by queXF and causing an error when trying to talk to Limesurvey to add a response.

You will be more familiar with your questionnaire than I will - although you have provided most of the required information here - please try and see if there is any mis-matched variable name on the queXF side.

Hi Adam,

i think that is my initial problem - i'm not sure what the format should be for limesurvey to accept a request - i was thinking to simulate an input via postman to limesurvey and check which responses do/ don't work.

quexf seems to generate two versions of response, one with a sort of {q0 => a0, q1 => a1} format, and something like {surveynumberXquestionnumberXsubquestionnumber => answer} format. Is one of these redundant?

Meanwhile I'll try and rebuild the form from scratch in limesurvey, re-export to quexf and see if that helps.

best wishes,

Gavin

following on from previous note - I rebuilt the form from scratch in limesurvey, dumped the old database in quexf and reimported the form. The banding appears to be ok. Still the same issue on the limesurvey integration.

inside the limesurvey data table, it looks like the fields are stored as {surveynumberXquestionnumberXsubquestionnumber }, so that would be the correct format to use

I found the cause of this - it seems to be a bug parsing a date field, which is stored in a datetime mysql. I'm using a dd-mm-yyyy format (since in the UK).

I just put a hack into

functions_output.php ~ 165

//hack for gavin form xx

   if(!empty($data['924341X7X28']))
   {
    $myDateTime = DateTime::createFromFormat('d-m-Y', $data['924341X7X28']);
    $data['924341X7X28'] = $myDateTime->format('Y-m-d');

   }

I think a more global solution would involve incorporating a date format setting in quexf.

GavinErickson (gavin-erickson) said : 		#6

..or maybe I can solve this by setting in the config..

/**
 * Date time format for displaying
 *
 * see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/date-and-time-functions.html#function_date-format
 * for configuration details for DATE_TIME_FORMAT and TIME_FORMAT
 */
if (!defined('DATE_TIME_FORMAT')) define('DATE_TIME_FORMAT','%a %d %b %I:%i%p');

 this definition appears to be used in the actual date centric data fields like those used in quexf "forms" table:
"assigned" and "completed", whereas form date fields are stored as a series of individual characters that are recombined to form the string on export.

Hi Gavin,

Thanks for reporting this issue. I haven't encountered that problem before . Yes you are right that queXF doesn't have a "native" date type. I'll file this as a bug. I think the best way to handle it would be to add a new "type" of bandable box to queXF - being "Date", and then during data output, queXF will know to effectively run the code you have included in your "hack" to convert the date as written into a date type when communicating with Limesurvey.

Adam

Can you help with this problem?
