@alexblock try your plugin with success !

Looks like the plugin contains its own vendor/ folder. Is that good or bad? Or should the dependencies be moved to the app vendor folder if it's core plugin?

Looks like the plugin contains its own vendor/ folder. Is that good or bad?

My opinion : good.

I think core plugin must be really option-able (for example have own translation file too).

Or should the dependencies be moved to the app vendor folder if it's core plugin?

Why ? Why core plugin must be different than other ?
If this lib is used only by this plugin : i think it's best to have it inside plugin dir.

Why ? Why core plugin must be different than other ?

Because of security issues. We have to be able to update all third-party dependencies in one go.

Ready for testing now.

We're missing testing instructions for (non-technical) QA. Can you write something?

Documentation and basic testing instructions:

The SPSS (sav) format is a binary data format that includes the raw result data (answer codes) along with question labels (question text / sub-question text), and response labels (answer labels) . The SPSS (sav) format can be read by the proprietary SPSS software, but also the free/libre GNU/PSPP, JASP and R software.

Currently in LimeSurvey the export to SPSS is in 2 text files, a data file along with an SPSS Syntax file which needs to be processed by SPSS or PSPP to generate a labelled data file. Details of this are available in the LimeSuvey manual here: https://manual.limesurvey.org/Export_responses#Export_responses_to_SPSS

This plugin allow for the direct export to an SPSS (sav) binary file in a very similar way to the Export Stata (xml) plugin - see here: https://manual.limesurvey.org/Export_responses#Export_STATA-xml

Data export with this plugin is done using the Export responses page: https://manual.limesurvey.org/Export_responses#Export_responses

• Choose "SPSS (.sav)" as the "Format"
• Limitations:
• Under "Responses" - Choosing "Answer codes" or "Full answers" will have no effect, "Answer codes" are always exported and fully labelled.
• Under "Headings" - Choosing "Export questions as" will have no effect - variable names are always the question code and the variable is labelled with the full question text

Click on "Export" and a ".sav" file will be available to download. Save this file and open it using software such as SPSS , PSPP, JASP or R.

The selected data from the survey should appear with variable names being the LimeSurvey question code, the questions labelled with the full question text and answer codes labelled.

please let me know if you need any more info @ollehar.

Maybe need to create a new page ?

• a new category
  https://manual.limesurvey.org/Category:Export_plugin

• move STATA (and maybe some other) to a clean new page.

Else : about Plugin : in manual : maybe we can add a a NameSpace , https://manual.limesurvey.org/Plugins: ?

Great, will forward this to QA.

Fix committed to master branch: http://bugs.limesurvey.org/plugin.php?page=Source/view&id=32482

Introduced in LimeSurvey version 5.1.0
