General

Starting from LimeSurvey 2.05, LimeSurvey officially supports plugins. Some plugins will be supported by the LimeSurvey GmbH 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!

Core plugins

To access the current available plugins that come together with your LimeSurvey installation: Configuration->Plugin manager.

GmbH supports at the moment the following plugins:

Auditlog
export results to R
ExtendStartpage
LDAP
LimeSurvey internal database
OldUrlCompat
STATA Export
Webserver

Feel free to contact the team via the bug tracker, LimeSurvey IRC channel or ticket system if any of the above plugins is not properly working.

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.

FAQs

I want to install third-party plugins

There are three possiblities to run third-party plugins:

- install LimeSurvey CE (Community Edition) on your own server; - contact our official partners (listed [1]) and check whether they maintain the third-party plugins you wish to use. - write LimeSurvey GmbH

Developing an authentication plugin

If you want to develop your own authentication plugin, please continue reading our wiki on this topic - authentication plugin development.
