Installing Additional Server Modules

The following add-on modules are available for SoSci Survey:

• Descriptive data analysis
• Automated data export
• Single Sign-On (for preparation see Single Sign-On (SSO))

The modules are subject to a charge and can be downloaded as ZIP files after ordering at www.soscisurvey.de/download/.

1. Unpack the ZIP file; it contains two directories (modules and plugins).
2. Copy the directories including their content into the SoSci Survey installation directory. Directories of the same name already exist there; their content is supplemented.
3. Open SoSci Survey in the browser and select Server Management → Server Settings → Configuration
   1. Retrieve the server license updated with the add-on module by entering the license key in the tab Server at the bottom in the section Software license server and saving ().
   2. Select the tab Plugins and click the button Activate components under Installed program components.

The respective module should then appear with a check mark in the list Installed program components. If this is not the case, please check whether there is an error message (Server Maintenance → Error Log) and contact info@soscisurvey.de directly.

The module “Descriptive data analysis” also allows creating PDF files (Automated Result Reports). For the PDF creation to work, two additional packages are required.

Please download the open source package TCPDF from https://github.com/tecnickcom/TCPDF/ as a ZIP file (Download), and unpack the ZIP file into the following directory below the SoSci Survey installation directory:

/plugins/tcpdf/

When unpacking the ZIP file, an additional directory may be created. Please make sure that the content of the ZIP file is stored as follows, without an additional directory:

/plugins/tcpdf/tcpdf.php

Please download FPDI from https://github.com/Setasign/FPDI as a ZIP file (Download), and unpack the ZIP file into the directory

/plugins/fpdi/

Please make sure that the content of the ZIP file is stored as follows (only with the additional directory src):

/plugins/fpdi/src/autoload.php
