RE: Passing in and capturing userid

Hi all,

The solution below works fine for capturing an userid. I've been trying
to use the same userid for a redirect after submitting the survey.

Basically, what I have is people entering the survey with an url of:
....?action=display&userid=xxxxxxx 

When they finish the survey, they have to be routed back to a personal
website, based on the same userid. This means that the CONTINUE
parameter should be something like: http://example.com/page_of_xxxxxxx 

I tried using {$userid$} but that did not work. Has someone an idea how
to provide a personal redirect?

Sincerely,


Thijs Muizelaar

Hello, sorry this answer took a while.

This scenario has usually been addressed through the use of perl
snippets. 
These have access to the argument line, ie the GET url.

<SURVEY TITLE="argument">

   <TEXT NAME="test" CAPTION="test" />

   <CUSTOM ESCAPED="no" VARIABLES="userid">
     <input type="hidden" name="userid" value="{\
       print $argument->ArgByName("userid") || "unknown";
     \}" />
   </CUSTOM>

</SURVEY>

You call this through, for example:

 
http//127.0.0.1/mod_survey/argument.survey?action=display&userid=joepal

The action=display is important since you'll get an argument error
otherwise.
