General
Starting from LimeSurvey 2.05, LimeSurvey officially supports plugins. Some plugins will be supported by the LimeSurvey team and will go into core. Some will be supported by others, outside the LimeSurvey team. If you would like to use them, check out the [plugins]. We hope you will also add your own plugin there!
To access the current available plugins that come together with your LimeSurvey installation: Configuration->Plugin manager.
LimeSurvey supports at the moment the following plugins:
- Auditlog:
- export results to R:
- ExtendStartpage:
- LDAP:
- LimeSurvey internal database:
- OldUrlCompat:
- QuickMenu:
- STATA Export:
- Webserver:
Auditlog
Audit log plugin creates a log of administration events in a specific table called <DB prefix>auditlog_log.
For more details about the plugin and its options, check the following wiki section.
Export results to R
If enabled, you will be able to export your survey results into R.
ExtendStartpage
If activated, the pages will be displayed in a "wide" mode - some of the white margins of different pages will be reduced in size.
LDAP
By activating this plugin, you can perform basic authentication against an LDAP server. Make sure your PHP configuration has LDAP support enabled.
Enabling and configuring settings for plugin AuthLDAP v2.05+:
- Enable LDAP in PHP.INI.
- Verify that phpinfo.php shows that LDAP is enabled.
- The location of LimeSurvey's built-in phpinfo.php is: Configuration -- Settings -- Global Settings -- Overview. Then, below the table, you will have a link for "Show PHPInfo".
- Go to LimeSurvey Plugin Manager.
- Configure LDAP plugin.
Read our LDAP configuration examples for further help.
LimeSurvey internal database
This plugin is activated by default and cannot be disabled. It uses the built-in LimeSurvey database. It is a fall-back mechanism so that you can always login to the installation when needed.
For more details on authentication plugins, check the following wiki section.
OldUrlCompat
Old url (pre-2.0) compatible system
STATA export
Activate it if you wish to export your survey results to a STATA .xml file.
Hit the Configure button to choose whether you want the .xml file be compatible with Stata 8 - State 12, or with State 13 or later.
Webserver
This plugin leaves authentication to the webserver and reads the result from a configurable server setting. This method has been around for a while, and was configured from config.php. If you used this authentication, you should enable the plugin in the plugins menu and move your configuration from config.php to the plugin's settings.
