[limesurvey-developers] First steps

[Alfredo Esteban]

Hi,

My name is Alfredo Esteban. I'm responsible for the Limesurvey instance of
a public Spanish organization. My user name in the bug tracker is aesteban.
You can verify I have reported some bugs (thanks for your quick response,
you are awesome).

As a legal requirement for every application in my organization we must log
every success login in the application. I would like to contribute to
Limesurvey by implementing it myself (creating a new table in database and
writing on it) and share with you. I tried to modify
*application/controllers/admin/authentication.php* but my changes didn't
take effect. I'm a beginner in PHP but I have good programming skills in C,
C++ and Java and LAMP administration.

So, could you please give me some guidelines about modifying and debug
Limesurvey (tools, tricks, etc)? Ideas and advices about this specific
change? Do you think this change make sense and could be included in
mainstream? Do you prefer to implement it yourself?

Any help is welcome,

Alfredo

Hi Esteban,

This functionality would be ideal for a plugin.

Try searching for PluginEvent in the source. In case you need a new event
(something like afterLogin) request it via the bugtracker.

Cheers,
Sam

Hi Alfredo,

firstly please have a look at
http://manual.limesurvey.org/How_to_contribute_new_features. Your
requirement sound like something that may be very useful for others,

Hello Esteban

there is an existing plugin for this purpose which can be extended to
your needs. Is is called the 'Audit'-plugin and included in the
LimeSurvey package.
Please check it out.

@Carsten, that being said can you please add a note at

and extend http://manual.limesurvey.org/Plugins so we have at least some
very basic documentation?!

I enabled Audit plugin and I'm reading the code. I will try to write code
for login events (thanks a lot for your links, Marcel).

Thanks everybody!

[Alfredo Esteban]

Hi,

As I told you, I need log successful and unsuccessful login and logout of
users in admin site.

I'm looking for the right events in the list:

http://manual.limesurvey.org/Plugin_events

I think the event for logout is clear: beforeLogout.

However, beforeLogin is not what I'm looking for because it's called before
login form is showed. Either newUserSession because you have to provide a
user object, etc. These events are created to replace login method.

So, my question is: Does exist an event such as afterSuccessfulLogin and
afterFailLogin? Do you think it makes sense? Should I ask for it in bug
tracker?

Thanks in advance,

Alfredo

Hi,

I think you can use
http://manual.limesurvey.org/Authentication_plugin_development#afterLoginFormSubmit


But surely not the better system because i think you need a
afterLoginSucceed and an afterLoginFailure .

You can look for the place to put this plugin event and add it in LS
core with a pull request.
