How do I define a survey to be answered once?

Hello,

My question is regarding the survey feature.

How do I define a survey to be answered only once by a user?

For example:

The user A answer the survey B.

If the user A try to answer the survey B again it's not possible.

Unfortunately, the answer is that currently the survey feature does not have an option to prevent a user from taking the survey more than once.

It would not be difficult to add that functionality for authenticated users. For anonymous users the best you could do is prevent them from taking the survey more than once during a given time window like 5 minutes based on ipaddress.

I will look into this when I get a chance, but right now I'm very busy.

Best,

Joe

Re: How do I define a survey to be answered once?

 

Hello Joe,

 

How do I extend a feature like the survey?

Actually, what I am willing to do is to create an register form to events.

So I created a calendar and then a survey to fill personal data and a link between them.

Then I can check on the survey the people who wants to join the event.

This works well although there is a lack of control regarding the form.

For example, I can't add validators or programming to avoid users to register in a event many times.

Do you have a tip to this issue?

Regards,
